Our friends over at bring a trailer have this car on offer <\/a>from a collection in Southern California.\u00a0 If it’s a 1964 it’s probably a Giulia 1600 Sprint.\u00a0 The car is reported to have been a French market car which means it probably had a few oddities like a glass brake fluid bottle when it was new.\u00a0 Alfa and Renault had a deal worked out that reduced the import tax on Alfa’s and allowed Alfa to make Dauphines and R4’s in Italy.\u00a0\u00a0I’ll explore this relationship\u00a0in a later post.\u00a0<\/p>\n

This car\u00a0looks like a pretty straight, lightly modified, used but not abused car that would clean up nicely and make a great driver.\u00a0 Asking price is $30,000 which\u00a0seems optimistic, but a trip to Orange County may find this car to be better than it appears and it probably has excellent provenance from its time on the track.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>The absence of the egg-crate grills on this car makes it look tough.\u00a0 I’d put some Cibie Oscars on either side of the grill heart.\u00a0 All the visible trim and shut lines look good.\u00a0 I like the orangy-red and would look forward to cleaning and polishing this car if I bought it.<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Home-made appearing<\/strong> GTA style air box is\u00a0neat as is the orange juice bottle coolant overflow.\u00a0 Engine has GTA breather built into the oil fill cap.\u00a0 Would be interesting to talk performance with the engine builder.\u00a0 Engine reportedly runs.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>I hate these steering wheels for how they look but appreciate their function on the track.\u00a0 Pedal covers are similarly unsightly.\u00a0 Both these items are easy enough to replace.\u00a0 Other than that this interior looks original and good.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>The rest of these cars, including a couple of other Alfas\u00a0are\u00a0available<\/a> except the Jaguar.<\/strong><\/p>\n

It’ll be interesting to see if anyone springs $30,000 for a dusty ex race Sprint.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
