Update 2\/2\/13: \u00a0<\/strong>The beat goes on. \u00a0This guy, failing to generate much interest in the 2012 auction season is back at Fantasy Junction<\/a> with new pricing: $169,500.<\/p>\n

\"70832\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Good to see a picture from Fantasy Junction that’s not in front of the brick wall.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Update 8\/23\/12:<\/strong> No bids were placed at the minimum $135,000 buy in on this car so it went unsold. I wonder if it was the color combo, or lack of originality in the interior -or that the windows wouldn’t easily go up and down (they didn’t when I checked it out at FJ) or if a lot of people knew it was purchased from FJ to be sold at this auction and make a quick buck. Do any of these things matter when a potential bidder has 5 Gin and Tonic’s helping their hand up? I dunno.<\/p>\n

Update 7\/1\/12:<\/strong> In case you missed out on buying it from FJ, you now have a chance to get it from Russo and Steele who will auction it during the old car festivities in Monterey this year.<\/p>\n

Yes George, the drivers side rear wheel is a Fergat (and so is the spare) and the rest are Borrani’s.\u00a0 I guess a high selling price doesn’t cure this sort of ailment.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Update 5\/28\/12:<\/strong> Car was initially listed for $142,500 and sold immediately for $135,000.<\/p>\n

Giulietta Sprint Speciale 10120*177413<\/a>, 00120*01738.<\/strong> This icy fellow is currently providing the white balance alongside all the usual reds in the Fantasy Junction<\/a> showroom. This car looks great from all angles and is a pretty good performer. I had a chance to go for a ride in it after some tuning work was done by a local friend. Send me an email if you want some impressions. It’s not listed with a price and it’s got a ‘sale pending’ notice. I’m guessing $125K or so based on recent SS sales from them.<\/p>\n

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

Very cool in white with all the chrome and glass.\u00a0 I like white on old cars.\u00a0 Paint on this is very nice.\u00a0 Headlights are $8 Wagner’s<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

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

The usual good Bertone shut lines.\u00a0 Car comes with 3 Borrani’s and 2 Fergat’s.\u00a0 Glass has had some imperfections polished out.<\/strong><\/p>\n

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

Plate is a recent issue.\u00a0 I adjusted the trunk latch on this car – the catch was crooked and it didn’t want to open or shut easily.\u00a0 This car has the 1600 style ‘bullseye’ badge with a plastic center instead of the cloisonne.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0 <\/strong>\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This was taken before the catch was straightened!\u00a0 Note the Fergat is an early one with studs for balance weights.\u00a0 Nice to see the spare tire clamp in place.\u00a0 I still need one for my car.<\/p>\n

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

Seats look and feel good but are not covered int he original style.\u00a0 A really tidy interior.\u00a0 I fixed a rattly gear shift lever on this car -was the usual combination of loose, dry and worn.\u00a0 Is nice, quiet and tight now.<\/strong><\/p>\n

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

Impressive engine compartment on this car with nothing to do.\u00a0 A lot of the fasteners I saw on it were replacements instead of the original Lobo or Fontana items.\u00a0 So it goes.\u00a0 Where you gonna find the originals?<\/strong><\/p>\n

A nice car.\u00a0 I saw a media blasting receipt from the early 1990’s in it’s file.\u00a0 I’m guessing it took a while for it to come together.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
