Update 1\/28\/2014: \u00a0<\/strong>$99,000 premium live auction result.<\/a> \u00a0This car has come a long way in almost 4 years. \u00a0“The course of true love never did run smooth… \u00a0So quick bright <\/a>things come to confusion.”<\/p>\n

Update 7\/31\/10: <\/strong>Seller ended the auction early when an acceptable bid came in.\u00a0 The new owner contacted me but a selling price was not revealed.\u00a0 I’m going to guess somewhere between $15k – $20k.\u00a0 New owner sounds enthusiastic about the car so hopefully the restoration will be seen through. <\/strong><\/p>\n

Giulietta Spider Veloce 750F 1495*03326<\/a>, 1315*30818. <\/strong>This car is on eBay right now<\/a> out of Michigan.\u00a0 As far as mostly disassembled roller projects go it is a pretty good starting point having matching numbers, not too much rust (I know -but I’ve seen so much worse) and no real accident damage.\u00a0 Step right up!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Nose looks great as a starting place -no ugly repairs to correct, no gaping rust holes and the Veloce intake divider seen here next to the drivers side marker light is in good shape.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>It’s what you want to see in a project car, ready to start making lists and planning.\u00a0 Wheels look to be Fergats.
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>This rust is not as bad as you might think.\u00a0 Just get it fixed right and move on thankful that it’s not much much worse.
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Originally red?\u00a0 Guess so.\u00a0 Not sure why this was cut out in this particular way but so it goes.\u00a0 Plan on a lot of delicate metal work in the corners.
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Difficult to find seat tracks?\u00a0 Check!\u00a0 Uncut trans tunnel?\u00a0 Check!\u00a0 reasonably solid floors?\u00a0 Err.. check!\u00a0 Not bad really -the dash nosing and mirror look serviceable.
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>That’s thankfully not the stock spare placement.\u00a0 Weird Motorola (I think) mono radio is the same as my 63 SS has.\u00a0 Speedo and Tach should clean up nicely.\u00a0 Steering wheel rim looks good.
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>The goods!\u00a0 Tunnel case trans, Veloce oil pan and presumably Veloce cams.
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Numbers.\u00a0 Motor mount is the correct item as is the Distributor if I’m not mistaken.\u00a0 See that bracket on the dip stick tube?\u00a0 It goes to the intake.
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>More numbers.\u00a0 Odd that I have 03325 and 03327 on my register already.<\/strong><\/p>\n

With restored cars of this sort making $60K + I expect this auction to end well for the seller.\u00a0 I have cut and pasted <\/strong>the auction text below because I think it’s an excellent example of a well thought out description.

Exemplary Auction description: “Up for auction is an original Alfa Romeo Giulietta 750F\u00a0Short Wheelbase Veloce.\u00a0 Very rare original Veloce garage find.\u00a0 Recently discovered after being garaged for over 39 years.\u00a0 After contacting the Alfa Romeo archives, I received the following email:\u00a0 According to our documentation files, the chassis number AR 1495 F 03326 originally corresponds to an Alfa Romeo Giulietta Spider Veloce, manufactured on the 23rd of January 1958 and sold on the 10th of February 1958 to Hoffman Motor Car Co., New York, USA.\u00a0 The body color is red.\u00a0 Sincerely, Marco Fazio – Alfa Romeo Automobilisimo Storico.\u00a0 Centro Direzionale.\u00a0 Viale Alfa Romeo.\u00a0 Arese Italy.\u00a0 The engine number for the Veloce engine block is:\u00a0 AR 1315*30818.\u00a0 I have documentation from old registrations that shows the ownership history of this very rare Veloce including the last title which was issued in 1969.\u00a0 The odometer shows the original mileage at 45,000 which the the long time owner confirmed at being original.<\/span><\/p>\n

I purchased this Veloce from a gentleman that has owned the Alfa for over 30 years.\u00a0 He had purchased it from a friend of his many years ago, and he never got around to doing anything with the Alfa.\u00a0 He is now in his mid ’70’s and has come the realization that he will never get to this very special project.\u00a0 He purchased the Alfa exactly the way it sits right now.\u00a0 The friend had taken the Alfa apart to do a restoration, and sadly it never was restored.\u00a0 This is a very rare opportunity to do a full restoration on one of the most desireable Alfa’s.\u00a0 If you are reading this ad, you know the rarity and value of a true Veloce.\u00a0 Many people say their Alfa is a Veloce, but the Vin number on the firewall is what determines a true Veloce from a Normale.\u00a0 This is the real deal, and the picture of the Vin number supports that.\u00a0 When you look at the picture of the Vin # you can clearly see the “F” above the number which designates this car as a factory Veloce car.\u00a0 The fresh air vent on the driver’s side front also supports that this is a Veloce as well.\u00a0 The title and old registrations list the Vin # correctly as a Veloce with the “F” –\u00a0 the Veloce designation.<\/p>\n

As you can see in the pictures, this car is a true project car requiring a full restoration.\u00a0\u00a0 The car is mostly complete, and I will do my best to list what the car comes with, and also what is missing.\u00a0 This represents a wonderful opportunity to purchase a Veloce at an affordable price and wil offer one of the best investments among Alfa Romeo’s.\u00a0 A fully restored Veloce can bring\u00a0in excess\u00a0of $70,000 for a well restored example.\u00a0 With the low original miles, this Alfa will be worth alot of money once it has undergone a proper restoration.\u00a0 If you are going to go through the expense on doing a full restoration, why don’t you restore an Alfa that will be worth much more than any other Alfa model available today.\u00a0 Besides a special bodied Zagato, the Veloce’s are one of the most sought after Alfa’s.<\/p>\n

Please look at the pictures carefully so that you can have a sense of the car’s condition.\u00a0 As stated, this Alfa will need a complete ground up restoration.\u00a0 If you have ever dreamed about owing a Veloce, this may be your best opportunity to buy one at an affordable price.\u00a0 Take your time and you will one of the most beloved Veloce’s in your garage.<\/p>\n

As you can see, the body is quite straight including the very delicate nose panel.\u00a0 The doors were off the car when I collected it, and I was able to install the passenger side door.\u00a0 I have not been able to locate the hinges for the driver’s side, and fit the door when I took the pictures.\u00a0 I am trying to locate the hinges so that the door can be mounted prior to being picked up.\u00a0 I cannot guarantee that I can locate the hinges, but will do my best to take care of it.\u00a0 The Alfa did not come with the trunk lid, but I have located one that I can include if the buyer so desires.\u00a0 I have also located some Veloce Carbs which can be included at the buyers expense as well. \u00a0 I have not priced these items out, but will offer that option at the buyers cost.<\/p>\n
