\nGiulia Spider Veloce 1600 AR390369<\/a>, 00121*01965.\u00a0 <\/strong>This car is on eBay right now<\/a> at $9500 with 5 days to go and perfectly represents the opposite end of the spectrum from Market 335’s nicely restored Spider Veloce 1600 AR390532 that is $68,500 and listed as ‘sale pending’.\u00a0 Seller says it’s numbers matching and complete but in need of much metal work.
\n\"\"<\/a>Am I the only one that looks at a car in this condition and has a hard time accounting for the degradation?\u00a0 ‘I have a great idea’, says weekend warrior shade tree mechanic who fancies himself a restorer, either blind to, or imagining himself capable of seeing the very complex process through for 1000+ hours and at an expense of $60,000 over two or three years.<\/strong>\u00a0 Taking it apart is easy…<\/strong>
\n
\n\"\"<\/a>Both front wheels are Borrani.<\/strong>\u00a0 Door fit is pretty good.\u00a0 Front end trim is useable as is for a driver.<\/strong>
\n\"\"<\/a>Euro tail lights.\u00a0 Maryland plate, saggy fiberglass hardtop.\u00a0 <\/strong>
\n\"\"<\/a>Bumper looks pretty good.\u00a0 1 mismatched wheel.\u00a0 Hopefully the missing Borrani is included.<\/strong>
\n\"\"<\/a>Originally white, now cheap red peeling off bare metal.<\/strong>
\n\"\"<\/a>Under the bondo.\u00a0 <\/strong>
\n\"\"<\/a>You know you want it.\u00a0 Heck -you could have it on the road by Spring.<\/strong>
\nBetween this and Market 335, I’d say the restored car represents the bargain.\u00a0 Say you get this for the current $9500.\u00a0 Throw $30K at the body and paint.\u00a0 Throw $20K at the mechanical bits to make everything work and look good.\u00a0 Maybe you can get away with $5K for trim and interior.\u00a0 There’s shipping, time hunting parts, lost opportunity for driving etc.\u00a0 A project is satisfying though, and that’s worth something.\u00a0 It’s all up to you though.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
