Giulia Spider Veloce 101.18 AR390652, Engine AR00121.02393.\u00a0 <\/strong>This car is available right now from Fantasy Junction<\/a>, asking price is $31,500.\u00a0 They describe it thus:<\/p>\n

“Outstanding \u2018driver\u2019 standard restoration. 2,500 miles since completion. A true Veloce by serial number. $39,500 spent on engine (rebuilt), transmission (rebuilt), suspension and brakes. Repainted in the original color. Drives well, as would be expected of a rebuilt car. Evidence of some rust repairs to the underside, but generally a straight, solid car. Great value.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\"390692Looks very good.\u00a0 It’s hard to get all the panels and trim pieces to align and be symmetrical after a repaint.\u00a0 Color is a little boring in my opinion, but I’m sure ‘classy’ in someone elses, at least it’s original.<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\"back“GRO FINS”\u00a0 Does it want to be a 50’s Thunderbird?\u00a0\u00a0PO was a\u00a0fan of \u00a0Galapagos by Kurt\u00a0Vonnegut?\u00a0 This is a good angle in good light.\u00a0 Car looks very nice.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"upMore of that pretty light.\u00a0 Are the antennae usually there, behind the driver?\u00a0 Wow what a difference a California Black plate would make!<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"cockBlack interior suits the exterior color.\u00a0 Steering wheel is in great shape and gauges have not yellowed.\u00a0 Is that the stock rear view mirror?\u00a0 Looks a little chunky to me.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"armThis view should give you an idea of the level of workmanship that went into this restoration.\u00a0 ‘Standard driver restoration’ would have painted over hinge hardware, so I rate this slightly above that.\u00a0 Door handle could use a $50 rechrome, tsk tsk.\u00a0 I think there is a piece of weatherstripping missing too.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"heartPretty good first pass clean up in here, a little better than what I did for my Sprint.\u00a0 If the polish on the valve cover matched the intake plenum and the ignition wires were the $40 green repro’s it would be much improved for not much money.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"trunk\"Okay, I spoke to soon, they painted over the shock top hardware and the little rubber end on the prop so it is a standard driver restoration.\u00a0 Very tidy though.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"26429\"Let’s not beat around the bush here, this isn’t ‘evidence of rust repair’ as though the jury is still out.\u00a0 This car has had rust repair.\u00a0 It appears to have been competently done, but not to a very high standard.\u00a0 It’s hard to find one of these Spiders that doesn’t either need rust repair or have signs of past rust repair, so no worries.\u00a0 The ‘business’ all looks good though.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Nice unassuming car and a decent value if everything works as good as described and it looks as good in person as the pictures.\u00a0 At $31,500 this is approximately the money you would be into AR390222 from Market #81 <\/a>if you bought it, spruced it up and put it on the road.\u00a0 AR390549 from Market #76 <\/a>may be a better value as it is a clean, sorted, attractive example for $7500 more asking than this car, but I haven’t seen it in person either so that may not\u00a0prove so.\u00a0<\/p>\n

I imagine the color will dissuade some potential buyers but that it will eventually find a home without much fuss.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
