4 bids, $1000 selling price… not bad!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Giulietta Spider AR167162 with an F.<\/strong>\u00a0 EBay is an endless source of entertainment and todays entertainment is provided by this Spider shell, on offer right now <\/a>from a California based supplier of Alfa interior components.\u00a0 The front is tore-up and it looks horrible,\u00a0but if it is indeed a Veloce, some one will be scrambling to save it or at least moth-ball it away for when the economy turns around.\u00a0 If I was at this moment restoring a similar Normale the price difference between Normales and Veloces (about $20K) is such that it would almost make sense to get this body, blast\/repair\/paint it then assemble the Normale bits on to it and then swap Veloce parts onto it as they become available.\u00a0 Selling the Normale body to someone with a rusty car would probably pay for a good bit of the\u00a0swap project.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"217191907_o\"Ouch and Ewww and scarry but doable.\u00a0 Presence of suspension and steering\u00a0 components is a bonus.\u00a0 How does this happen?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\"217191948_o\"Floors look pretty good and I bet this car would blast up to be fairly light in the rust department.\u00a0 I have never had the pleasure of bolting cleaned and prepped parts onto a freshly restored tub, but seeing this I can imagine the process.\u00a0 Maybe someday I will get there with the SS.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"217191927_o\"See, not too bad.\u00a0 Someone took EVERY part off this thing.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"217191967_o\"I don’t have a reference available to me right now for comparison so I will withhold judgement until later on this number other than to say it is a 1960 Spider number.\u00a0 F placement is standard for Veloces, and Veloce designation probably gives this car 90% of its value.\u00a0 Originally red??<\/strong><\/p>\n

I am starting to want a Spider, perhaps the result of tempearatures in the mid 60’s to mid 70’s over the last week in the Bay Area, but I don’t want one this badly.\u00a0 I don’t think I will ever want to go through this sort of restoration when the SS is done but who knows.\u00a0 I doubt this car will see more than $1000 but bottom feeders never sleep, and as I mentioned at the outset, adding the Veloce specification\u00a0to a Normale adds quite a bit of value, so perhaps this car will see some action.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
