Update 3\/17\/11: <\/strong>75 bids resulted in $62,750.\u00a0 It’s no joke, game on for SS values!<\/p>\n

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

Giulia SS 10121*381379<\/a>.<\/strong> This car is on eBay right now<\/a> out of Texas.\u00a0 Bidding is at just shy of $30,000 with 4 days left as I write.\u00a0 This car is truly in ‘how you used to find them’ condition and frankly may be as much as $80,000 away from being a top money car, but for a capable DIY restorer that restoration number could get down to $40,000.\u00a0 Why do I mention this?\u00a0 See yesterdays post, which the seller references in their write up, a Giulietta SS sold for $140,000 at the Amelia Island auction.\u00a0 This is a great place to start, but it still has to be reduced to nuts, bolts and bare metal and built back out to get in the league that car is in.\u00a0 Then it has to find a buyer… Or it could be let alone, touched up, enjoyed and entered in the preservation class some day.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Looks great from this distance, through the lens of a camera after being hosed down.\u00a0 Note dent above headlight.\u00a0 Antennae has to go to.<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Shines like new in this picture too.\u00a0 A lot of people sent me emails notifying me of its current tour of eBay -all very excited to buy!<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>And she looks good from behind too.\u00a0 Panel and bright-work fit is excellent.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Looks a lot like the paint quality on my Sprint.\u00a0 Lots of checking etc.\u00a0 Unless you are like me and just want to tear it up on the backroads regardless of paint condition, you are going to have to take this car to bare metal.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>And trust me, these cars are not easily dis-then-re-assembled.\u00a0 Hours and hours will be spent.\u00a0 I don’t mean to be negative- only realistic.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Wood grain sticker is more common than you would think.\u00a0 Looks good as is, and I’d leave it so -but for paint it all has to come apart.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Engine runs good (they all do).\u00a0 This is not the place for in depth analysis, but I think some late cars came with these 105 intake items.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Go for it kids!\u00a0 Be ready to spend $50K though.
