Update 10\/14\/10:<\/strong>Car sold for $23,995 after 21 bids -a good result.
\nUpdate 10\/11\/10: <\/strong>Seller has made the smart move of installing that missing headlight, took some new photos and relisted<\/a> it.\u00a0 About 3 days to go and it’s $16,000 as I write.
\n\"\"<\/a>
\nUpdate 10\/6\/10:<\/strong> 23 bids were placed resulting in a high of $17,100 with reserve not met.\u00a0 I’m not surprised from either end -it’s too far from done to go for more and too much has been invested to let it go for probably less than low $20K’s.
\nGiulietta Spider 10103*167419<\/a>, 00102*14739. <\/strong>I’m aware that to call a car a stalled project or endless restoration isn’t very helpful, especially considering it seems to be the norm for a project to go unfinished for years, whether a rusty backyard ‘someday’ car or that concours restoration that would be done if the correct ‘LOBO’ bolts could be found for mounting the steering box, in anycase, this car, on eBay now<\/a> out of Indiana, is the odd car that despite good intentions and a trickle of resources over the years, seems to have moved nearly perpendicular to a normal restoration path… -a lot remains to be done and redone (sadly) but it has survived, is rust free and includes a lot of really well prepared parts to assemble to it.
\n\"\"<\/a>Avast ye mateys -where’s me eye patch ARRR.\u00a0 It’s hard to picture a red Giulietta Spider as a pirate.\u00a0 Looking not too bad here except the chunk of paint missing from the nose.<\/strong>
\n\"\"<\/a>That sweet dusky orange glow filtering through the trees makes an otherwise good looking car look great.\u00a0 Door shut lines are nearly invisible.\u00a0 Ride height is a bit up for me.<\/strong>
\n\"\"<\/a>The shadows and reflections make it look slightly crooked here.\u00a0 Shows up nicely except that double-barrel pipe.\u00a0 Yikes.<\/strong>
\n\"\"<\/a>Might as well pop the lid while were back here.\u00a0 This gives the new owner something to paint besides that chip on the nose.<\/strong>
\n\"\"<\/a>This biscuit interior doesn’t look bad -carpet is funky -may just need gluing down or something.\u00a0 Steering column is red -too bad the new owner couldn’t move that paint to the glove box door.\u00a0 Steering wheel looks fab -gauges are average.<\/strong>
\n\"\"<\/a>Just buy the stock rubber mat set already!<\/strong>
\n\"\"<\/a>Just think of the efficiency -you can strip the valve cover and steering column cover at the same time!\u00a0 This all looks about average too.<\/strong>
\n\"\"<\/a>Looks like someone was careless with a propane torch.\u00a0 Stuff to do here -but like the rest -only if you want.<\/strong>
\n\"\"<\/a>Stuff.<\/strong>
\n\"\"<\/a>Hard to find stuff!<\/strong>
\nHere you go -snap it up… just wait a turn or two for the final price to come down some.\u00a0 All things considered this would be a rewarding project considering it runs and drives and has no visible rust.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
