Update 10\/11\/11: <\/strong>$30,200 with reserve not met.\u00a0 I would have thought $35,000 or a little less would or should buy it.
\nGiulietta Spider 750D 1495*03579<\/a>.<\/strong>\u00a0 This magnificent example is on eBay right now<\/a> out of Colorado. 750 Alfa’s are at the top of the Alfa Market for Sprints (06611 or before) and Spiders and I expect this car will go for serious money to bear this out.\u00a0 It was restored back when repro parts were scarce and original nice parts were still available and reasonable.
\n\"\"<\/a>No flashy pictures here -just good honest ‘show the item’ shots.\u00a0 Trunk and door fit looks excellent.\u00a0 Paint finish looks amazing.\u00a0 No excuses trim fit and finish is rare to see.<\/strong>\u00a0 \"\"<\/a>Tidy and right.\u00a0 These cars look much more staid with the top up -putting it down it’s like a nun pulling her habit off and having a sexy, deservedly worn bikini on underneath.<\/strong>
\n\"\"<\/a>Looks good.\u00a0 Not overly done.\u00a0 No sense putting this perfectly serviceable trunk mat in the landfill in favor of a shinier one.<\/strong>
\n\"\"<\/a>
\nGauge patina preservation is all well and good -but in a car like this it’s a little disappointing since everything else looks so good.<\/strong>\u00a0 Yes, I know that’s a mid-to-late 101 steering wheel.<\/strong><\/p>\n
