Update 4\/16\/09: <\/strong>Wow!\u00a0 $18,701 with 47 bidders.\u00a0 That is a very very strong result.\u00a0 I think this result comes from the market trend over the last few years to add extra value to really good original, as found, un-molested, etc honest cars that a collector or skilled restorer salivates over as basis for concours restoration starting points.\u00a0 Look for a flood of auctions to ride this auctions coat-tails.<\/p>\n

Update 4\/11\/09: <\/strong>Link fixed!\u00a0 Sorry about that.<\/p>\n

Giulietta Sprint 10105 1493*21140. <\/strong>Available now on eBay <\/a>is this rather handsome devil, fresh out of long term storage in a collection and looking for action, or at least a new owner with the pocket book or skills to put it back on the road. Seller sold the the two tone SS <\/a>that was on eBay last week and by the sound of things will have more Alfa’s for sale in the coming days.<\/p>\n

\"sprint<\/a>Looks like an orangish respray has been polished through on the nose. Grills, bumper etc look great. No hood spear?<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/a>\"sprint<\/a>Very shiny finish on the paint. I wonder if this has been repeatedly polished while in the collection. SS from last week was the same way.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"sprint<\/a>Nice. You can’t really see it here, but this car has the little jack receiver plates still in place. Tires are claimed to be original.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"sprint<\/a>JFB 815. I know a lot of guys who pride themselves on the black plate status of their cars. Panel fit is superb, especially on the trunk.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"sprint<\/a>Needs a little engine work! Seller states the engine in the car is not original but that he has the original in parts.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"sprint<\/a>Interior doesn’t look bad. I love the originality of the door panels and carpet. Gauges are incorrect for this year\/model by all accounts, but with Alfa you can never be sure.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"sprint<\/a>More enviable patina. I wouldn’t be surprised if the original seat upholstery is under the black covers. It’s cheaper and easier to throw a cover over the existing seat covers than make fully new ones.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"sprint<\/a>Headliner almost looks new with none of the usual water contact discoloration. <\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Sprint<\/a>At least it all appears to be Giulietta parts!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Very nice car indeed. If the subject of market 15 <\/a>is worth $15,100, surely this car is. Look for a strong result from this auction and hopefully it will remain in CA so the plates can be maintained. Thankfully I have my own contender in the original black plate Sprint arena and its engine is rebuilt!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
