Update 7\/1\/12:<\/strong> Seller has commented that this car has sold and is happy with the sale price.<\/p>\n

Update 4\/11\/12:<\/strong> 18 months later this car turns up in VERY nice shape on eBay<\/a> with a respectable $62,000 buy it now price.\u00a0 List of work done reads like a wish list for my car.\u00a0 Goes to show that even when you start with an excellent car there is a lot to do to make it ‘right’ if that’s your aim.\u00a0 If you read the original ad below I mention that it had a Sprint seat adjusting knob and that I had an extra Spider one -I sold it to this seller, so a humble part from my stash is incorporated here.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Very nice Kevin!\u00a0 Don’t know that eBay is the right place to list this, but it’s amazing to see the transformation.\u00a0 Unusual perspective this.

Engine & Transmission<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n

\n<\/span><\/div>\n
– Veloce engine AR00121.01792 Rebuilt previous to my purchase.<\/span><\/div>\n
-All Veloce parts that could be found have been installed. The plenum cover is not correct for this model year.\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n

-Brake lines replaced<\/span><\/div>\n
-Suspension stops replaced front and rear<\/span><\/div>\n

\n<\/span><\/div>\n
Issues that I’m aware of are the pitting in the dash chrome, ticking low RPM tachometer, incorrect plenum top. I’m sure some Alfista will find a few other things but great care has been taken to restore the car and insure that it is correct with the exception of replacing the Veloce engine with a Normale engine. The Veloce engine as it sits is worth upwards of $15000 as the 00121 numbered engines are quite rare. If one wanted to replace the Veloce engine, Normale engines are readily available, then you could sell the Veloce engine or use it for a Veloce project.\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n

\n<\/span><\/div>\n
The car starts up well and runs like it just came from the factory. The extra horsepower from the Veloce engine really gives it a boost, along with the dual Webers. I have four other Alfa’s (all Veloces) two of which are currently being restored so I need some room. I don’t think you could find an \u00a0Normale or Abnormale with a Veloce engine in this good of shape anywhere. It’s truly stunning and it’s all done and ready to drive. More pictures available upon request.<\/span><\/div>\n

\n<\/span><\/div>\n
Sold as is where is. No refunds. You are welcome to have it inspected or inspect yourself. I can help arrange transport.\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n

\n<\/span><\/div>\n
Thank you for looking.”<\/span><\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Update 9\/21\/10:<\/strong> 38 bids resulted $26,211, not bad at all.<\/p>\n

Giulia Spider 1600 10123*375767<\/a><\/strong>.\u00a0 This pretty darn nice 1600 Spider is on eBay<\/a> right now out of Buffalo New York.\u00a0 Car was restored ten years ago and it still looks great.\u00a0 Check it out.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Very nice with nothing to complain about.\u00a0 Valence seems to be hanging down more on the drivers than passenger side, may be a trick of the light.\u00a0 Hood fit is really good. <\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Wow -really straight body work on the side.\u00a0 Wheel is Borrani and seems to require a lot of weights to balance.\u00a0 Mirror is later 105 style. <\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Lookin’ good.\u00a0 No plate?\u00a0 Window of the top is nice and clear.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Interior doesn’t need anything serious, drivers seat has a Sprint adjustment knob, passenger a Spider one.\u00a0 I have a Spider extra in my pile.\u00a0 Mirror needs resilvering.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Gauges are great.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>This is an NSU German build plate -not sure how much they did to the cars.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>The seller doesn’t give any indication what all went into the engine but obviously something since it has dual Weber carbs and front bolt tabs on the valve cover.\u00a0 Is that a 1300 manifold?
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

There are 24 bids on this car with 6 hours, 18 minutes left and it’s already $21,000 -a good sign.\u00a0 Will be interesting to see where it ends.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
