Update 2\/16\/10: <\/strong>27 bidders pushed the price to $1575.\u00a0 Reasonable considering the lack of rust and engine\/suspension pieces intact.\u00a0 I bet it ends up a parts car this time around.\u00a0 Anyone here buy it?<\/p>\n

Giulietta Sprint 750B 1493*07448. <\/strong>This project is on eBay <\/a>out of El Paso Texas right now. \u00a0The price as I write this is $203 and by the looks of things it might stay sub-$1000. \u00a0This car was probably a Willys-Overland assembled car as it is said to have spent its whole life in Mexico. \u00a0What you see is what you get. \u00a0And at close to 150 pictures<\/a>, there is lots to see!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>This is how they look. \u00a0Wrinkled, uneven and, well, just abused. \u00a0Shouldn’t be too hard to tap this back out to right.<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>The front end rides fairly high for a car with an engine. \u00a0Probably has shocks out of who knows what -that’s how you keep a car on the road in Mexico for 50 years. \u00a0Body really doesn’t look too bad.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>That rust in the corner looks worse than it is. \u00a0Back end is remarkably straight and the trunk fits well. \u00a0I have this image of this car running around some small town in Mexico looking EXACTLY like this, with a guy driving it while sitting on a milk crate.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Trunk floor is not bad. \u00a0Trunk prop -along with every other piece of trim, is missing.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>I spent some time looking at the engine pictures and I don’t see any reason (disconnected stuff) why it shouldn’t run. \u00a0Looking at the rest of it, I don’t see any reason why it should. \u00a0I think a balanced universe demands that it run.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"Well done taking the time to reveal the vin number.Someone somewhere would be getting all excited if there was an ‘E’ in here. \u00a0Nice overspray don’t you think?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>For the numbers geeks.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Here’s a new one. \u00a0Anyone know anything about this?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>For some reason the dash top is very rusty. \u00a0The rest of the car is just surface rust but the top is like 1\/3 gone. \u00a0I bet it was in the perpetual puddle beside the hose the bodyshop guys washed their hands at and just flowed away molecule by molecule. \u00a0Wheel and gauges don’t look too bad.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Floors are pretty good -no really, look closely.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Proof of previous statement is this view of the underside of the drivers side floor area. \u00a0I see the clutch actuation, or is it e-brake rod. \u00a0Car still has a tunnel case transmission.<\/strong><\/p>\n

What are we to make of a car like this? \u00a0You can’t really restore it because it’s missing ALL the trim. \u00a0It’s not a parts car because, well, it’s missing most of the parts people want and besides, it’s not rusty. \u00a0If I had a 101 bodied 750B that was a complete runner but unrestorably rusty I would buy this car, paint it and transfer all the parts from the rusty car to it. \u00a0Phew, so glad I don’t have a rusty 101 bodied 750B. \u00a0For less than a thousand bucks it’s worth it for some Alfisti<\/em> to buy and throw a tarp over in their garage just in case that rusty parts car shows up. \u00a0Ben? \u00a0Lionel? \u00a0You guys are inTexas, how about saving this thing!<\/p>\n
