Sprint Zagato 10126*00207<\/a>, 00120*00634 (probably original), Body 634. \u00a0<\/strong>This amazing piece of functional art is available now<\/a> from the good folks at Fantasy Junction for a mere $585,000. \u00a0With a generally accepted production run of 44 examples, the second series Giulietta Sprint Zagato, colloquially\u00a0known as the Coda Tronca <\/em>for practical reasons, is the third of what I imagine being four time-lapse frames. Frame one is the original run of Sprint Veloce Zagato one-offs that inspired frame two: the first series Sprint Zagato Coda Tonda<\/em>. \u00a0Frame three is the series represented by this car, and\u00a0frame four is the Straight out of science-fiction Tubolare Zagato<\/em>\u00a0or TZ if you’re the sort to worry about pronouncing foreign words correctly. \u00a0I suppose frame five would be the Tipo 33<\/i>, but that fellow is its own can of beautiful worms with quite a few interesting permutations to explore.<\/p>\n

\"rt-side-picture\"<\/p>\n

Behold: the rarest production Giulietta by production number – and also my personal favorite. \u00a0I doubt I will ever own one, or even drive one for that matter, but aspirations being necessary for a healthy human brain and work ethic, I’ll\u00a0\u00a0set my sights here. \u00a0A regular Giulietta Sprint looks BIG next to one of these.<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\"left-side-picture\"<\/p>\n

Carrozzeria<\/em> Zagato, between about 1955 and 1970 is a very interesting study. \u00a0They were able to in most cases improve<\/em> on masterworks by Touring, Bertone, Pininfarina and others. \u00a0Producing variations on the themes that enhanced not just performance, but beauty. \u00a0I can’t think of another situation where this has happened. \u00a0It’s like if some small tailors shop in Paris was known for improving\u00a0couture\u00a0designs from Yves St Laurent, Givenchy and others. \u00a0It really is astonishing.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"back-from-low\"<\/p>\n

Love it or hate it, the Kamm tail served it’s purpose – adding a slippery back to a slippery front. \u00a0Ferrari has some particularly challenging Kamm tail designs.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"engine-compartment-from-rt-side-back\"<\/p>\n

Engine is a 1750 done to look like a 1300. \u00a0This car must really<\/em> move! \u00a0Also must really have been a job shoehorning it in here.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"dash-controls\"<\/p>\n

A very nice, purposeful set of controls, displaying the strange beauty of perfectly realized function.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"seats-from-drivers-door\"<\/p>\n

Seats look great. \u00a0Nothing to complain about with this car in my opinion.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"spare-block-00120\"<\/p>\n

This engine is included and is said to be the original to the car. \u00a0I suspect Alfa archives could say for sure. \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"vin-stamping\"<\/p>\n

Firewall stamping. \u00a0Really is amazing they crafted these bodies around a trimmed down standard pan. \u00a0This kind of finish on the nether regions of its cars is standard for Zagato.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"zagato-body-number\"<\/p>\n

634. \u00a0Zagato body number. \u00a0Cool. \u00a0Anyone have any others for me to waste brain cycles pondering?<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
