Update October 5 2015:\u00a0<\/strong>Incase you spent the last 4 years wishing you had bought this car – well, you get another chance. \u00a0It’s back on eBay<\/a>. \u00a0Looks to have been improved a bit, but still has a ways to go.<\/p>\n

\"$_57\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Paint is looking pretty good these days. \u00a0Grill is still from an early 750B or Spider. \u00a0Good luck adding a front bumper if that’s something you would care about.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Update September 5 2011:<\/strong> Wow, $25,800 is pretty serious for this car.\u00a0 Ummm, maybe I should stop driving mine every day?\u00a0 Nah.<\/p>\n

Giulietta Sprint 10105 1493*21083<\/a>.\u00a0 <\/strong>This car is on eBay right now<\/a> out of Temecula in southern California.\u00a0 Car wears its original California black plate but none of the originality usually associate with a black plate car.\u00a0 A lot of difficult to source trim is missing, engine is incorrect, interior is mostly wrong components with incorrect finish among other things.\u00a0 It runs and drives (yay) but will require a lot to be original.\u00a0 Would make a great beginning for a CSRG or other vintage racing group car.\u00a0 Looks nice though.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Don’t get me wrong, it is a nice looking example.<\/strong>\u00a0 Sprints are good cars, this example would bring a smile to your face every time you drove it.\u00a0 I don’t mind the lack of badges, bumpers or hubcaps, but the trim that runs along the top of the rockers is necessary to the shape.<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Black plate should be verified as original by a prospective buyer -not that I doubt the seller, but you just have to make sure if it’s important to you.\u00a0 Reflectors that go between the tail lights and bumper are missing, as is the bumper, trunk badges and ‘airplane’.\u00a0 In another picture it can be seen that the license plate brackets are missing.\u00a0 The lip that acts as the seem between the lover valence, trunk floor and body has been removed -likely during rust repair.<\/strong>\u00a0 Seller says they have some of the original parts -get a complete list -even little stuff is expensive.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Not fabulous but also not bad when you consider all the ones that have passed through these pages.\u00a0 Plastic fan, blue duct, bundle of red wire etc are not original for starters.\u00a0 It does run though and they’re not asking the moon for it so this is all fine.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Ladies and Gentlemen -that is a 101 Giulia 1600<\/strong> engine from mid-1962.\u00a0 No wonder it’s peppy.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>The engine number it should have.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Gauges are also Giulia items -most likely 1600 Spider.\u00a0 Not sure where that rear view mirror came from.\u00a0 Nardiesque steering wheel is interesting a Sprint.<\/strong>\u00a0 Originals are tough to find and expensive these days (Hi Laurence).<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Rear seat is pure make-believe and funny since restoring it to correct would have been much cheaper than what you see back here.\u00a0 Not sure where the seats came from… 70’s Spider without headrests?\u00a0 Can’t really tell but definitely not original.\u00a0 <\/strong><\/p>\n

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

Battery lived on the other side of this panel.\u00a0 See that black jagged line?\u00a0 Probably rust<\/strong>.\u00a0 See that cloth?\u00a0 Probably fiberglass backing used when they lip was removed from the car and the gap it left was filled.\u00a0 All questions you need to ask before placing a bid or offer.\u00a0 I’m just sayin’…<\/strong><\/p>\n

I feel like I’ve judged it harshly, but it comes form having had several Sprint projects over the years.\u00a0 How about this: This is a good running\/driving\/looking Sprint that’s probably rust free and ready for fun -that alone puts it in the ballpark of the $25,800 asking price for sure.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
