Update 8\/18\/10: <\/strong>That was fast.\u00a0 I didn’t see a ‘Buy it Now’ option last night when I wrote this up and now the car has been sold for $8995.\u00a0 Probably a better deal for the buyer than seller, but if the buyer is half way around the world it’s an $11,000 + transaction by the time it’s in the garage.
\nGiulietta Sprint 750B 1493*01365<\/a>, 1315*01432 (not included -blank replacement instead).<\/strong> Just when you thought the last worthy early Sprint project had been unearthed and sold and you missed your chance -another comes along, just like this one available on eBay now<\/a>.\u00a0 Just imagine tracking down all the original Fontana and Lobo nuts and bolts!
\n\"\"<\/a>I’ve been waiting for this day since 1967 when I was stripped, acid dipped and parked in a cement floor garage -at least that’s my best translation of 1950’s Italian.\u00a0 Very straight nose on this guy!\"\"<\/a>Rear end looks as straight and ready for skim and paint as the front.\u00a0 The light gray around the windows is lead or some sort of body solder.<\/strong>
\n\"\"<\/a>This is from when the dash top was part of the body and not removable -made working under the dash fun.\u00a0 It’s an illness I know, but I can’t help but want this car.\u00a0 I’m going to have to write a post about projectophilia.<\/strong>
\n\"\"<\/a>Some of you are saying something along the lines of ‘Oh -good heavens!’ but this rust is not too bad.\u00a0 I fixed similar on my Giulietta SS.<\/strong>
\n\"\"<\/a>This car is utterly apart.\u00a0 I had a dream where I got every single little part of my SS cleaned, painted\/plated or whatever and once everything was done put it together like a puzzle.\u00a0 May still happen.<\/strong>
\nJeez, I’m watching Zardoz<\/em> as I write this and having trouble concentrating -stupid Netflix streaming…
\n\"\"<\/a>Engine is a 750 series and the trans is a tunnel case.\u00a0 Too bad it’s not the original block for the car.<\/strong>
\n\"\"<\/a>Hey baby – nice gauges!\u00a0 Gotta love an old guy that needs the label gun to tell him how fast he’s going.
\n<\/strong>
\n\"\"<\/a>Even the data plate is in great shape. <\/strong>
\nAs the driver of a regular old 101 Sprint with a regular old 101 1300 in not very exciting but decent enough condition, who knows and embraces the charms of ‘as intended’ Sprints, I have been waiting for a car like this to come along, and here it is and it’s too bad I’m not ready yet to buy one…
\nWhat do you think?
\n2008 Sprints<\/a>
\n2009 Sprints<\/a>
\nand one<\/a> from 2010…
