Update 1\/27\/10:<\/strong> Well wonder no more, this car is now on Italian eBay <\/a>for 8900 Euros or $12,478 at time of writing.\u00a0 I guess a trip across the Atlantic and the addition of a mystery 750 engine adds $9500.\u00a0 I’m in the wrong business.<\/p>\n

Update 10\/20\/09:<\/strong> 11 bids got this thing to $3100. Not bad for a rolling shell. The lack of rust had me thinking $4000. I wonder where it is headed?<\/p>\n

Giulietta Spider 10103 1495*10862. <\/strong>This car is on eBay right now <\/a>out of Livorna New York.\u00a0 There are at least 2 eBay sellers that regularly post vintage Alfa parts for sale form this town.\u00a0 This car is pretty similar body-wise to the subject of Market 153<\/a>, but doesn’t come with\u00a0much in the way of\u00a0parts if they’re not\u00a0seen in the pictures and\u00a0attached to the car.<\/p>\n

\"spider<\/a>Looks about average really for one of these that has been off the road for ever and picked over by vultures during that time.\u00a0 Nose sheetmetal is rough but I’ve seen and owned rougher.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0There are a lot of little parts here, so it could be worse.<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\"spider<\/a>Feng Shui says paint your front door red.\u00a0 Is this the front door?\u00a0 Rear wheel on this side is 14″ from late 60’s hubcap era 105.\u00a0 Vent windows are a source of contention among Giuliettisti.\u00a0 I’m in the ‘whenever\u00a0Alfa\/Pininfarina felt like it, all the way back to car #1, including Veloce’s’ bandwagon. <\/strong><\/p>\n

\"spider<\/a>Man that grass is green!!!\u00a0 Needs shocks and springs or maybe just some balast to get that back end to come down.\u00a0 Dig the mirror placement.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"spider<\/a>Trunk is solid and that driveway is picturesque.\u00a0 Note hood leaning on the stone wall.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Auction text is unusually helpful: “Up for bid is a 1960 Giulietta Spider Normale.\u00a0 This is a very solid rolling chassis with serial number\u00a0 #AR 1495 10862.\u00a0 This a long wheel base \u201cinterim car\u201d with fixed vent windows and small tail lights.\u00a0 Unlike the vast majority of Giulietta and Giulia Spiders out there, this car still has its original floors, rocker panels, structural members and trunk floor and they are all very solid.\u00a0 I am just selling the \u201crolling\u201d chassis as is shown in the photos.\u00a0 I do have a Missouri title for this car. It was last on the road in 1976 and has been in dry storage ever since. <\/strong>
\n<\/strong> <\/strong><\/p>\n

The front fender wheel openings were modified slightly to accept wider wheels\u2026\u2026\u2026possibly for racing, but never finished. There are minor dings and dents throw out the body and some minor rust through in the very front of the nose where the grille would normally go. The car rolls very easily!<\/strong><\/p>\n

This car would be perfect if you have a complete Giulietta or Giulia \u201crust bucket\u201d as you could use the majority of your mechanical & trim parts to restore this car without having to spend $5,000 to $10,000 restoring the critical floor panels and sub-structure.\u00a0 Spending\u00a0 large sums of money on a rusty Spider so that you are left with a decent looking but un-original and\u00a0unsafe car makes little sense.<\/strong><\/p>\n

This Giulietta Spider would also be a great car to go vintage racing in or for making a super quick street car with a more modern 1600, 1750 or 2000 Alfa engine. <\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/strong>There is no engine and no transmission with the car.\u00a0 All the interior & exterior trim is missing. It does include the windshield , windshield frame, doors with door glass, hood & trunk lids, the original wiring harness & suspension.”<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\"spider<\/a>Dash is all tore up and one of my least favorite places to be working on a Giulietta since they don’t come out, but the windscreen and associated trim doesn’t look too bad.\u00a0 Turn signal stock is in ‘turning left’\u00a0 position.\u00a0 Horn ring is broken.\u00a0 Assume steering wheel is cracked.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"spider<\/a>Wires and linkages and plumbing oh my.\u00a0 Note presence of master cylinder\/pedal box\/ wiring harness\/ etc etc.\u00a0 Lots to do, lots to buy.\u00a0 I am wondering if the color seen here is gray and if so if it’s the original color, because if it is, I’ll feel the usual compulsion to say that gray is the best Giulietta color.\u00a0 I’ll see if I can resist.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Spider<\/a>Floors look awesome from this angle.\u00a0 Passenger footwell floor maybe?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"spider<\/a>A hint of Koni orange can be seen.\u00a0 Sill and trailing arm mount are solid.\u00a0\u00a0 Rear ends in Giuliettas seem to survive and work okay if left alone by PO’s.<\/strong><\/p>\n

All in all a pretty solid start for your Alfa restoration project or race car.\u00a0 Lots to buy, lots to find and lots of hours or dollars to spend making it happen, but in the end a nice, valuable car will emerge.\u00a0 I wonder how many Giulietta Spiders in this condition it would take to saturate the ‘I want a difficult project Giulietta Spider’ market?\u00a0 Not to many I suspect.\u00a0 If it was a Porsche 356 Speedster or Cabriolet it would be $50k… deserved or not.<\/p>\n

Another 750 project spider<\/a>.<\/p>\n

And another<\/a>.<\/p>\n

And yet another<\/a>.<\/p>\n
