\nGiulietta Spider 10103*170285<\/a>. <\/strong>This car is on eBay right now<\/a> out of Novi Michigan.\u00a0 Usually when I write about a car that I describe as a project it’s a challenging, rusty through and through hulk someone dredged from the bottom of a pond.\u00a0 Not so this car.\u00a0 The problem here is a rod knock in the engine requiring attention -what I consider an easy project
\n\"\"<\/a>Great looking car.\u00a0 Paint is 30 years old but still shines,\u00a0 the only pitting described on the chrome is the windshield pillars. <\/strong>
\n<\/strong>
\n\"\"<\/a>Trunk and door fit is superb.\u00a0 Top looks new -owner says they store the car with the top up to preserve it.<\/strong>
\n\"\"<\/a>More good seen here.\u00a0 Passenger door shut line is almost invisible.\u00a0 Tires are Pirelli Cinturato’s on Fergat rims.\u00a0 Bright-work back here looks excellent.<\/strong>
\n\"\"<\/a>Seller says there is rusting on the inner rockers but doesn’t elaborate.\u00a0 Judging by the rest of the car I am going to assume it’s surface rust -but would demand pictures of the area for inspection or better yet, go see the car in person.
\n<\/strong>
\n\"\"<\/a>As usual, an inspection under the battery is important.\u00a0 If this had a new trunk mat it would look amazing.<\/strong>
\n\"\"<\/a>White car, red carpet, black seats… okay.\u00a0 Seats are described as having been recovered in leather.\u00a0 Radio blank off plate is what was described as the early type in the Blank plate posts.\u00a0 Was probably an either\/or thing for a while.\u00a0 Other than yellowed gauges this looks fab, and the gauges suit the patina of the car, though that said they look so great when redone that I’d be tempted to replace the inserts.<\/strong>
\n\"\"<\/a>Looks pretty good all in all.\u00a0 Coil is funky as is the cheapo air cleaner -the price you pay to use a Weber but don’t want to have an adapter made to use the old air box.\u00a0 Are the steering columns usually in body color?\u00a0 It runs and drives now but a rod knock is described so this all likely has to come apart for the fix.\u00a0 I’d take the opportunity to strive for engine compartment perfection.<\/strong>
\n\"\"<\/a>Hello my name is…<\/strong>
\nThis is a pretty clean car and most Alfa folks are comfortable having mechanical work done so I think it will do pretty good in the auction -it’s at $10,100 with 6 bids and 8+ days left.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
