Update September 15 2015: \u00a0<\/strong>Reserve not met at $65,200.<\/p>\n

\"SS<\/a><\/p>\n

Apparently SS values have gone up $6000 since this car was last listed. \u00a0I think I would have been tempted to sell.<\/b><\/p>\n

Update September 7 2015: <\/strong>This car has reappeared, this time on eBay<\/a> being sold out of Florham Park New Jersey.<\/p>\n

I\u00a0was just last night talking to a friend and SS owner about the value prospects for the SS these days across the project to perfect spectrum. \u00a0He opined that they had actually gone down a bit in the last few years by his reckoning. \u00a0Not some huge slide or anything, just market forces balancing restoration quality of cars bought and improved to make a quick buck, that seem to come back on the market repeatedly, driving values down a bit as a result; versus genuine ‘restored for the love of the thing’ cars that not only look good but are complete, correct and actually a pleasure to drive. \u00a0Projects aren’t seeing the frenzy of 2 years ago, while the number of prospective owners out there is probably a bit stagnant and not as deep pocketed as the few high priced auction examples would have you think. \u00a0I’m sure there are lots of Alfisti\u00a0<\/em>would happily add an SS to their stable, the question is, at what price? \u00a0And then there is the almost absurdly high survivorship of SSs -probably above 20% tracked on this humble site alone.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I just spent more than $20,000 on my Sprint with little visual<\/em> improvement (unless you pop the hood). \u00a0The work I had done would not even have this car a runner -you’d probably be another $5000 – $7000 for that. \u00a0Adding that to the $48,000 asking has you at $75,000 before you even think about rust repair. \u00a0If this was your grandfathers car and you had all the money and motivation you needed, or if you were actively searching for a complete car to do all by yourself and had serious skills you might consider it.<\/p>\n

Update April 4 2012:<\/strong> I might be crazy, but I would have sold this for $59,888. Really.\u00a0 That said, someone probably made an off-eBay deal for this.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Update April 6 2012:<\/strong> This car<\/a> has turned up on eBay<\/a> out of Connecticut. Bidding is fierce, rust is scary, but other than that it looks like a nice complete example to fix up -just be ready for a big bill from your body guy.\u00a0 Not sure it’s the same car as that from the Craigslist ad a few months ago?\u00a0 Look at the green New Jersey inspection sticker on the passenger side corner of the windshield.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Doesn’t look too ill in this picture.\u00a0 Grill has seen better days and the windshield trim is missing, but that’s it besides scruff.<\/strong>
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Again, just looks like a faded SS in need of some light help to make it useable.\u00a0 This car wears Borrani wheels.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Tip of the iceberg.\u00a0 This will lead deep into the recesses of the car with lots of metal to replace.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Interestingly this is an 00121 1600 SS engine and the 00120 engine is included too.\u00a0 That’s a good $15K worth of SS engines.\u00a0 Looks complete and right too.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Reasonable white interior.\u00a0 Seats have been recovered.\u00a0 Pretty sure the thing below the dash in the center is an 8 track player.\u00a0 Has an earlier series speedometer.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

One of the SS’s specifically prepared for the US market Tipo 10117.\u00a0 Another survivor comes out of the woodwork.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Update February 24 2012: <\/strong>I have had some emails about this car from interested parties who contacted the sellers.\u00a0 Apparently offers up to and potentially exceeding $50,000 have been received.\u00a0 I also hear it is probably pretty rusty where they rust.<\/p>\n

Giulietta Sprint Speciale 10117*00242.\u00a0 <\/strong>Alex just sent me a text with a link to this car<\/a>.\u00a0 I’m sure a mad scramble is in progress right now from all over the world.\u00a0 A complete, not too rusty example?\u00a0 No telling precisely from these pictures about the rust -but it does look to be all there.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Looks like one of those ran when parked examples.\u00a0 Hood fits well -might respond to soap and water.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Anyone know Jersey plates well enough to guess how long it’s been off the road?\u00a0 I think this will clean up we..\u00a0 Is the dash white meaning this was a white car?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Someone tried to rub the paint out a little on the corner<\/strong>.\u00a0 Yep -there’s white visible in the interior.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Intake system looks original and complete from here -bodes well for the engine.\u00a0 Someone is VERY excitedly trying to buy this right now…<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
