<\/a><\/p>\n

Update 3\/30\/09: <\/strong>This car endded with 2 bids at $4000 reserve not met.\u00a0 I think a few more revealing pictures (underside, floors etc) and a clear statement about the engine (numbers, completeness and condition) would see this car get bid up a little higher.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Giulietta Spider 750D 1495*04751.\u00a0 <\/strong>This car is on eBay right now <\/a>out of Pittsburg PA and represents a fairly average Spider project considering what’s gone through eBay the last year.\u00a0 Seller states that the buyer has a choice of engines, either a dry sump (?) 00551*02329 or one that is “more original”.\u00a0 As always I would want a lot more pictures, or to make a personal visit before I committed to buy, but\u00a0it’s pretty clear this car is incomplete and needs work done to everything.\u00a0 On the bright side you end up with a rare \u00a0early Giulietta Spider when you’re done.<\/p>\n

\"66c3_3\"<\/a>The pictures certainly don’t disappoint if you come here to gawk in that ‘watching a car crash happen’ sort of way.\u00a0 Nose panel isn’t too bad, having a seemingly unmolested ‘bump’ to receive the top center of the grill.<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\"872c_3\"<\/a>I suppose you could leave the doors off and roll Dunebuggy style, of course you’d have to remove the windshield and jack the rear end up.\u00a0 Next thing you know you’re like Wile E Coyote when he discover he’s overshot the cliff by 10 feet.\u00a0 From what I can see (which isn’t much) the rockers aren’t horribly rotten.\u00a0 Black is handsome on these cars.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"bpliqcgkkgrhgookiyejllmfcshbjyu-kvpg_3\"<\/a>Isn’t there some argument about when this particular style of rear license plate light was used?\u00a0 These are the bases for the good tail light style.\u00a0 I would guess by the cap that it has a gas tank.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"8ee2_3\"<\/a>Sweet wood dash.\u00a0 Not sure why paisley or geometric design contact paper never took off as a dash fascia option.\u00a0 Hmmm.\u00a0 Steering wheel appears uncracked and all the little bits you would have to track down are present and hey, the floors aren’t obviously missing.\u00a0 Good deal.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"bpli5ugwkkgrhgookjqejllmvowobjyvbf5w_3\"<\/a>I’ve seen a lot of wheels in this auction, this would I think make 8.\u00a0 Doors have wing window option.\u00a0 Is it just me or are some of these parts not meant for a Giulietta Spider.\u00a0 Drive shaft should have a universal joint right before the differential and that suspension upright has a fairly modern looking disk brake caliper.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"a15b_3\"<\/a>That could be the 9thwheel.\u00a0 I think there may be some more parts that originally hung out with the 00551 engine\u00a0 the buyer has the option of choosing.\u00a0 Trunk lid looks nice.<\/strong><\/p>\n

This auction was started at $4000.\u00a0 If it’s not rusty that would be a realistic starting point, but I only see a little evidence to support the rust free claim.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 I suspect the auction will end with one bid placed, reserve not met and maybe the seller will get serious about showing the condition of the car and providing an inventory of parts.\u00a0\u00a0I am just happy\u00a0it didn’t go to the crusher 20 years ago!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
