\nGiulietta Sprint 10102*158831<\/a>. <\/strong>This car is listed on Craigslist<\/a> out of St.Charles, IL for the asking price of $29,000.\u00a0 The seller claims the 1600 engine is original but this car should have a 00102 series 1300 (around # 00102*24900) unless it was made for some market d’Amico & Tabucchi don’t know about.\u00a0 Looks like a really nice car!
\n\"\"<\/a>It’s hard to tell much from this picture.\u00a0 Door and hood shut lines look good, sill trim is missing and wipers are sitting pretty high on the windshield glass.\u00a0 Looks to have a Ferrari sticker above the badge on the fender. <\/strong>
\n\"\"<\/a>Euro tail light lenses and an airplane-less trunk with license lights built into the bumper.\u00a0 Seems to be missing the “Sprint” script from the lid as well. Paint looks very good in this shot.\u00a0 Nice custom plate.<\/strong>
\n\"\"<\/a>I’ve seen a few red Sprints from this era with black and gray interiors.\u00a0 This all looks very good.\u00a0 I’m not sure what’s going on with the passenger side seat tracks.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The advert: “This Alfa, Chassis No. AR 158831, was built June 15, 1961. It has the original 1600cc engine with a 5 speed gearbox which was only offered for a very short time. Odometer shows 61,400 miles. Previous owners include the owner of Gingerman Raceway. The Alfa was restored to a very high standard some years ago in New York (~$30K) but not completed.
\nNY Restoration included:
\nFull body off frame restoration \u2013 have photos.
\nInterior and exterior paintwork done to high standard.
\nEngine and all running gear rebuilt.
\nDisk brakes installed all around.
\nAll new Instruments and wiring.
\nAll new seats and interior upholstery.
\nFront and Rear Bumpers rechromed.
\nEtc, Etc, Etc.
\nThe Alfa was still not running when I purchased it. I did final work; intake manifold, carb, etc. She ran very well and I drove her about 460 miles. Has not been driven the last few years; needs some final tweaking.
\nWith a little work this Alfa can be an outstanding show car.
\nThis is a beautiful collector automobile which has been rarely driven since full restoration. My investment has been substantial, but I have too many projects. I have set an asking price of $29,000. All serious offers considered. “<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\"\"<\/a>Description says the instruments are new… I wonder if they are referring to the gauges -these look like the typical slightly yellowed units found in a Sprint.\u00a0 Very nice looking though, all told.\u00a0 A steering wheel wrap usually hides a crack or two in the rim. <\/strong>
\nIf you’re in the market for a very good starting point Sprint that just needs a little fiddling, this might be the car for you.\u00a0 Obviously a lot more pictures would have to be seen before you would commit to fly across the country and check it out, which you would have to do before spending $29,000 on it.
\n$29,000 sounds like a lot, but look at some of the Sprints that have sold in the last few months and you get the sense that if this car is as nice as described, it could be a pretty good deal -especially if you fancy a Sprint with disk brakes, a 1600 and a 5 speed.
