Update:\u00a0 <\/strong>I received the numbers from the seller, this is Chassis 1493E07137, Engine 1315*31504.\u00a0 This would indicate this car is not a Confortevole, but a modified 101 bodied Sprint Veloce.<\/p>\n

Giulietta Sprint Veloce Confortevole. <\/strong>This Giulietta Sprint is available right now on Italian eBay<\/a> with an opening bid of 30,000 Euro’s or $37,846 at the time of writing… is the dollar approaching parity with the Euro? This car is pretty nice so obviously there is a reserve involved.<\/p>\n

While I’ve got your attention, check out my updates page for pictures of a sweet 1953 Ferrari 212 Inter PF<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"437c_1\"Body work is gorgeous on this car and the Celeste blue suits it perfectly. Note the laterals in the grill openings have the thin trim strips, an option on ‘regular’ Sprints but standard on the Veloce Confortevole.
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\"3c2a_1\"These are the later version of the better tail lights. I think I need to do a tail light comparison post to sort out the differences. I even like the white wheels. Are they early TI 15″ steels?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Item text follows verbatim:

\"3dfb_1\"If you’ve followed my posts about race cars you know I tend to complain about their interior aesthetics and this car deserves no less. Not my thing, and definitely not the worst I’ve seen.
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"4137_1\"It looks like the cage is a bolt in affair. Steering wheel looks better than the usual racing wheel. Good to see the correct gauges hiding back there.
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"3cea_1\"Sliding plexi windows look home made. Is all the trim removed from the door opening? I wonder if they still have it.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"3fa8_1\"I like the patina on this air<\/strong>plane. Usually the outer ring of the target style badge is removed on these cars to save weight (you think I’m joking??). That paint really shines!<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"405b_1\"Side exit exhaust is neat and probably very loud. A closer view of the wheels.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"4485_1\"There’s the manifold I need. I wonder if they have the original 750 intake manifold, 40DCO3’s, plenum and air box. At $3000 – $4000 for the set up I doubt it.<\/strong><\/p>\n

I would be tempted to put this car back on the road if it came my way by adding some of the original trim pieces and interior pieces. I wonder when these early Veloce’s will become too valuable to turn into track cars? Maybe never I suppose, since racing is a sport of the wealthy in most cases. Hopefully I’ll get out there someday. I keep telling myself that turning my SS in to a race car would be the cheap way to go fixing it up. We’ll see.<\/p>\n
