Unlike its siblings, it did not benefit from the latest redesign, keeping untouched lines from the previous Alfa Romeo models with an engine displacement increased from 1,300 cc to 1,600 cc. The SS, as well as the Spider which also kept the Giulietta\u2019s lines, were both discontinued in 1964.<br \/>\nThe Alfa-Romeo Giulia SS we are happy to offer for sale is one of these latest examples. Built in 1964, the current owner decided to turn it into a race car. As a matter of fact, the Giulia SS is eligible in most major historical races. This Alfa Romeo Giulia SS was entered 5 times in the French Tour Auto, once in the Tour de l\u2019Aisne as well as several other endurance races.<br \/>\nFully converted to racing specifications, this Giulia SS is the ideal vehicle to enter a Tour Auto and other historical rallies. The engine develops 130 hp thanks to Weber carburetors and power goes to the ground through a reinforced clutch, a 5-speed gearbox and a limited slip differential. Coming with 8 wheels, this Alfa-Romeo Giulia SS is equipped with magnesium rims and a set of brand-new 15\u201d Michelin.<br \/>\nThis Alfa Romeo Giulia 1600 SS was never involved in an accident. Recently serviced, this Alfa-Romeo Giulia SS is immediately available in Paris with its French registration and its up-to-date FIA HTP papers.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Got a hankering for a Giulia SS racer?\u00a0 There are a few about these days.\u00a0 I wonder if street car prices will eventually see cars like this converted back to street specification?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Update 7\/26\/11:The seller of this car contacted me, the vin is 10121*380352.\u00a0 Anyone know any information on previous owners etc?\u00a0 Check out this cool YouTube of it in action!
