Market 291: Driver Giulia SS in Texas

Posted on by
4

Update 3/17/11: 75 bids resulted in $62,750.  It’s no joke, game on for SS values!

Update 3/14/11: Bidding has reached  $40,000 and reserve is met with 2 days to go.  The suspense begins!

Giulia SS 10121*381379. This car is on eBay right now out of Texas.  Bidding is at just shy of $30,000 with 4 days left as I write.  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.  Why do I mention this?  See yesterdays post, which the seller references in their write up, a Giulietta SS sold for $140,000 at the Amelia Island auction.  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.  Then it has to find a buyer… Or it could be let alone, touched up, enjoyed and entered in the preservation class some day.

Looks great from this distance, through the lens of a camera after being hosed down.  Note dent above headlight.  Antennae has to go to.

Market 295: Giulia SS 381285 getting around

Giulia SS 10121*381285. This car is available now from Beverly Hills Car Club for the reasonable seeming $38,500.  It sold on eBay in late January for $26,500 out of Medfield, MA. In the weeks between it was treated to a bath, some vacuuming and polishing and some dents were minimized.  Current seller doesn’t show any pictures of the rust in the rockers but if you look at the photo set linked to by the vin link will see it.

Picture here is from BHCC.  Looks pretty good.  Paint has a good shine as does the bright stuff attached to the nose.

Market 283: Another nice Giulia SS

Update 3/7/11: A regular reader tells me he went to check this car out when the Scottsdale auctions were going on and it was sold for full $85,000 asking price a few hours before he got to the showroom to see it.  Serious money!  I should be back at this regularly for a while -sorry for the interruption… oddly, readership has stayed steady.  Thanks for reading.

Update 1/13/11. This charmer has found its way onto eBay.

Giulia SS 10121*381099, 00121 engine. This car is available now from Brighton Motorsports in Arizona.  Seller claims it took a best of class at Monterey weekends Concorso Italiano in 2010 -if so then a lot of you readers will have seen this car before. The usual “140 surviving examples” quote is in the description, I currently list 224 by vin number and know of at least 30 that I don’t have vins for.  I have pictures of 49 cars too!  No price is stated.

Nice, red, shiny, well fitted example.  This is a great angle for these car!

Market #7: Giulia SS racer 380352

Update 1/8/11: This car is available again -this time it looks like it’s in Germany.  The asking price is 41,900 Euro’s or a little over $54,000.  The SS’s keep coming!

Makes me wonder if it really is in Germany…

Originally posted 5/13/2008: Giulia Sprint Speciale 10121-380352. Available through Alfaholics for 39,000 Euros, about $60,000 at time of writing. Entire text of the advertisement reads: “Body # 380352. LHD. Body excellent. Engine tuned at 150 BHP. Roll bar. Racing tuned. 2008 FIA papers. Ready for season 2008. This car has done Tour Auto many times. Price: € 39 000. Car is in Paris.” I assume an inquiry would receive a in depth account of the car. Details of the car reveal a decent car was used as a starting point to make a pretty serious FIA racer. I like the lightweight plexiglass windows and lack of trim and if it was a track only car I could live with the interior, but for street use I’d like a little more of a period look on the inside.

Always a nice profile. Wheels are later Sedan or GT items, the cheap way to put more tire under one of these without major body or suspension rework.

Market 285: Giulia SS 381347 at Gooding

Giulia SS 10121*381347. This guy, only a little distinguishable from the last two posts will be auctioned in Scottsdale at Gooding’s January 21st – 22nd auction.  The estimate is $60,000 – $80,000.

This picture makes the SS look rather slender in profile.  Very nice horizon reflection along the side.

Market 282: Nice original Giulia SS in Belgium

This Giulia SS is offered by Mecanic Import out of Belgium with a current listing on eBay for $56,000.  The seller claims it is has “never received a ground up restoration, but kept in good condition over the years”.  I see some trivial non-original stuff but all in all it looks like a great car.  The fact that it is being marketed to the USA from Belgium makes me wonder if the market is going soft in Europe for SS’s.  If that’s the case we may see a softening here in the US too.  Hmmm.

Nice down-low perspective shot.  Bright stuff looks -well- bright.  Passenger side wiper arm looks a little wayward.

Market 281: Giulia SS project in France

This Giulia SS is in France and appears to be a better than average starting point.  I think the deal is, they are starting to restoring it and are hoping to find someone to buy it now and choose a color, specification and whatnot.  Whatever the case -it’s good to see these are still coming out of the woodwork.

What have we here… ah, a nice SS project lurking in the shadows.

Market 268: SS project in France

Giulia SS. This project is currently available in France.  I have to assume it’s not complete or they would have shown more pieces.  Anyone here care to send me a translation of the ad?

Was red.  Note there is a lot of the car missing below the A pillar in front of the door jamb.  Maybe a door in the car?

Market #1: White Giulia SS project

Posted on by

Update 9/20/10: A Giulia SS was listed on Craigslist this morning for $30,000 with pictures of this car.  A scam?  Borrowed pictures?  I’m sure it will be answered before long…

5/20/09 Update: SOLD after 377 days! A guy I spoke to on the phone about this car last month, giving advise etc, has taken the plunge and bought this car.  I told him exactly what I have been saying about this car all along, it’s probably a good car that everyone interested in an SS is tired of seeing for sale (you only get one shot at a good eBay auction).  The selling price was around $45K and he seems very happy with the purchase.  Look for it to be present at shows and events in Southern California.  If anyone knows a good place to get keys made in Southern California post a comment as he needs to get door, trunk and glove box keys made.

I bet the seller of this SS would be happy if one of you kind readers would buy his 1965 Flavia Sport Zagato that is currently on Craigslist for $26,000 or trade.

3/31/09 Update: I think it will be a while before another car is featured here so many times. This car is on eBay again and this time it can be bought NOW for $47,500. Lets see if my ‘auction fatigue’ theory holds true. Now is your chance, you know you want it. I’ll offer the correct gauges to the new owner at 10% off.

3/18/09 Update: This car is now all repainted and spiffied up. Check it out on eBay now. $56,000 asking is big money but the car is pretty nice now.

low-frontVery nice work. The shut lines look good and the trim is all as it should be. Seller says he got it all ‘triple chromed’.

Market 250: SSweet projects o’ mine

Giulietta SS 10120*00413, 00121*02334 & Giulia SS 10121*380211, 00121*00271. Liquidation sale!!  Well, sort of…  I am in the first months of a new business venture I helped start and have spent exactly *zero* hours on my SS projects since it started.  I have more excuses but that one is the most immediate.  In the case of the Giulia it’s not hard to part since we barely got to know one another, but the Giulietta has been a needy companion for a few years and saying goodbye will be hard.  I’ve started down this path a few times -selling my projects that is- but just couldn’t do it when it came right down to it.  This time will be different I hope.

The first picture I ever saw of my Giulietta Sprint Speciale.  This car is a lot less rusty than I thought it would be when I bought it.  The black finish is a very tough rust encapsulator that I have cursed countless times.

Not the first but one of the first good pictures of the Giulia.  Lots more pictures here.

Market 224: Giulia SS in Austria

Giulia Sprint Speciale 10121*381221, 00121*01213.  This car is for sale in Austria on Mobile.de.  It has some odd wrong parts on it but overall is in good shape.  It can be yours for 49,900 Euro’s or $60,800… quite a bit less in the dollar world that this time last year.

Good looking clean example of a fairly late model SS.  Hood fits great and all the trim is present and needs nothing.  Europe has some big license plates!

Market 218: Nice original Giulia SS at auction

Giulia SS 10121*381349.  On June 6th in Greenwich CT Bonhams will hold an auction and among the lots is Lot 437, one 1965 Alfa Romeo Giulia Sprint Speciale with a claimed 33,000 miles on the odometer and a fairly clean, original appearance.  Estimate is $40,000 – $60,000, which ranges from realistic to slightly optimistic but not out of the question.

This is a good looking car.  Door gaps are invisible, ride height is perfect, bright work and paint are very nice.  I’d lose that front license plate in a hurry.
