Update 10\/20\/09:<\/strong> 8 bids drove this car to $5451.45, a nice round number. Decent money and probably right at that point where the buyer and seller are happy. Another Giulietta off to foreign shores?<\/p>\n

Giulietta Spider 1495*06230, 1315*05817.\u00a0 <\/strong>This roller of a project Spider is on eBay right now<\/a> out of Huntington Beach california.\u00a0 Car was made 3\/9\/1959 and is a short wheelbase interim car.\u00a0 Looks fairly complete but in\u00a0need of a lot of help.\u00a0 Engine is not original.\u00a0 Opening bid is $5000, less than the aggregate parts value and very reasonable for a project this complete.<\/p>\n

\"spider<\/a>Nose is a little busted up but not horribly.\u00a0 Hood does what it was designed for.\u00a0 These cars look tough without a windshield.<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\"spider<\/a>That’s a looong tail pipe!\u00a0 This is all about average for a car that has been languishing most of its life.\u00a0 This car would have the Lucas oval tail lights I believe.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"spider<\/a>Looks crappy and will probably require a touch of welding, but is WAY better than mine!<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"spider<\/a>Underside is very solid.\u00a0 I think the low pipe is because it has lost a mount or two.\u00a0 Everything is hooked up about right besides the pipe.\u00a0 Drive shaft is at an odd angle.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"spider<\/a>Gauges are absent here but seen in another ‘misc parts’ picture.\u00a0 Floors look good although, like the trunk, I would assume at least a little welding is needed.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"spider<\/a>Is that a Koni shock just visible in the upper left?\u00a0 Seat tracks look rough and at about $500 per set, you better take this into consideration.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Auction Text: “This is a very solid top to bottom, jack points ect. surface rust only no panel replacement needed car. It’s been in it’ stripped and sitting condition for 45 years. Half of that in Hawthorne and the other half in Livermore California. It came through Hoffman Motor Cars in New York 3\/24\/59 and was built 3\/9\/1959. Archivio Storico says that engine # AR131505817 DOES NOT correspond to Chassis # AR1495.06230. It appears that someone was going to try to covert this to a Veloce with a 5 Speed. The tunnel is partially cut, but not removed. The engine turns freely and this is the short wheel base version. The 18,500 miles may be true. The lack of wear on the pedals, drivetrain, and steering, might be worth a professional autopsy. The car is complete, less the windshield, ( frame fine) and one hub cap. One front bumper and eyebrow is bent. Will ship worldwide. NO RESERVE, NO BUY IT NOW. Car rolls and steers freely. NO PARKING BRAKE. Car can be viewed Sunday Morning\u00a010\/18\/09. Car is in Huntington Beach California. For further details and pictures, send your e-mail through E-Bay. Payment through Pay Pal, Wire Transfer, or CASH. Thanks for looking.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\"spider<\/a>Engine by serial number is out of an early\u00a01958 Sprint, so it is a pure 750 which means rebuild parts are a little on the expensive side.\u00a0 I don’t think sourcing an appropriate Spider engine would be hard, APE has one sitting in their yard.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"spider<\/a>The Vin for posterity sake.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"spider<\/a>Bits as the British call them.\u00a0 Lots of bits.\u00a0 Bumpers, grills, seats, the air canister, a manifold and some trim to the tune of probably $1500 worth.\u00a0 Get a good inventory together and work with it through the resto, buying missing stuff as it comes up.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Sad only that it took this long for this thing to see the light of day and hopefully along with that light of day it will see the skilled touch of a pair of talented hands with tools.\u00a0\u00a0 You can’t really lose money-wise for less than about $6000, but can you win and make it a runner driver?<\/p>\n
