Giulietta Sprint 750B 1493*05931, 1315*05350. This Sprint was posted for sale on the Alfa BB a few days ago out of Eau Claire Wisconsin. As can be seen from the pictures it’s a big project but the $5000 obo asking price is reasonable considering the matching numbers and state of the engine. I was tempted myself by this but then I thought about my soon to be departed SS’s and vow to only get into ‘easy’ projects and, well, here it is for someone else to go for.
This treatment reminds me of Market 228 Sprint -either it’s how they come out when a bondo mask is applied, or the same artist at work. But… it comes with a spare nose for grafting purposes. Yea… looks scary but it’s on wheels and lots of stuff is in place.

Update 8/31/10… morning: Craigslist ad is working again.
Update 8/30/10… evening: Craigslist posting has been deleted. Sold? Headed for eBay? Tree fell on it? Chances are it’ll turn up before long.
Giulietta Sprint 10102*158831. This car is listed on Craigslist out of St.Charles, IL for the asking price of $29,000. The seller claims the 1600 engine is original but this car should have a 00102 series 1300 (around # 00102*24900) unless it was made for some market d’Amico & Tabucchi don’t know about. Looks like a really nice car!
It’s hard to tell much from this picture. Door and hood shut lines look good, sill trim is missing and wipers are sitting pretty high on the windshield glass. Looks to have a Ferrari sticker above the badge on the fender. Read the rest of this entry »

Giulietta Sprint 750B 1493*03396. This 1956 column shift Sprint is on eBay right now out of Medina Ohio with a current, reserve not met price of $2500 after 14 bids and 9 days to go. Car sports a set of later egg-crate style grills but the headlights still appear to be the early small type so I doubt the body has been altered. Check it out.
6″ lights I think -good thing the buckets are present -too bad the lights themselves are ruined. Hood spear has been abused. 101 grills can probably be fit without much effort on an early car.

Giulietta Spider 10103*171756, 00102*28201. After a mere 4 clicks (home, motors, used:alfa, this listing) from their homepage you can be looking at this car on eBay right now (or you can click on the link). It’s in Northridge California which makes me think it’s the same seller as the first who offered M213 on eBay. Buy it now is a probably realistic $13,900.
Don’t let the cops see this thing parked in a handicap spot unless it’s a spot for handicapped cars. Door and hood shut lines look about right. Yellow looks like the yellow used to ‘colorize’ black and white movies in the 80′s. Read the rest of this entry »

Giulietta Spider 10104*09081. Sheesh! I go on vacation for 4 days and I somehow miss an auction entirely. This car was on eBay for about 5 minutes and has apparently been sold. Closing bid was $3950 -not sure if that was the selling price. Without further ado…
“Four score and tewnty years I spent locked in this thankfully dry and heated garage waiting for rescue…“ Looks like a good car! Has Lucas (or Lucas type) mirrors. Dig that hard right pointing driving light.

Update 8/23/10: This feller is back on eBay -some lucky motoring enthusiast can buy it now for $2700 and figure out what to do with it later. Woot!
Update 7/10/10: Someone liked this enough to buy it now for $2500. In one of the Q&A responses the seller says emphatically that this car can’t be returned to stock. With these cars likely to be $100K by the end of the decade I’m sure some intrepid soul is hoping to prove the seller wrong.
Giulietta Spider Veloce 750F 1495*04640 (or 750F 03305), 1315*31655 (Not included). Tennessee is the home of this Spider that’s on eBay right now. Vin on the title with the car is 03305, vin on the build plate is 04640 and the vin on the body is unknown -if I had to bet on which is accurate I’d put my money on the title. It’s ironic/sad/frustrating that someone took a roller 58 Spider Veloce probably worth $10 – 15K of todays money, spent 6 years ruining it by altering it to fit a V8 and Toyota suspension and now are hoping to get $2500 out of it. This is what you call a lose-lose situation -I bet they threw out the sheet metal they cut out of it too.
What do you do with something like this? It’s probably unusable in its current form with all that weight over the front axle, way too much power for the rear end to grip and poor visibility with that scoop.

Giulietta Sprint 750B 1493*01682, 1315*01758.Body # 651655. This car is available right now out of Japan for $22,000. A pretty good deal for a numbers matching small headlight early car. This car has the rare ‘rolled lip’ style early rims and was converted to floor shift from column shift -which supports my theory that column shift was common if not the norm in the early cars.
Amazing how similar and yet different the small headlight cars appear compared to the later cars. Makes it look bigger than it is. This looks like a nice solid car with good shut lines and accident free bodywork. The small headlight components are hard to find.

Update 8/9/10: This car has turned up for sale yet again, this time on San Francisco Bay Area craigslist for $29,500 I find it hard to believe work to the tune of about $10K has been done to it but it’s a free country and a fool and his money…
It really doesn’t look like a bad car and I understand that where there’s a buck to be made it will be made, but at least rattle-can that rust spot on the front wheel so we get the sense that some work has been done to earn the mark-up.
Update 5/1/10: 23 bids pushed the price up to $14,100 but the reserve was not met. I wouldn’t have sold it for that either. What’s fair for this car? The market will eventually decide, but my opinion is somewhere between $16k and $18k, maybe a little more if it’s better in person than the pictures, but that’s not usually the case. I think the appearance of another early 750D in slightly better shape derailed this auction a bit. List it again after an eBay Giulietta Spider dry spell but before the Monterey weekend Alfa 100 year celebrations and things should go well.
Giulietta Spider 750D 1493*01503. This car is on eBay right now out of Northridge Ca. Seller is pretty well known in the Alfa world and a straight shooter as they say. Car was on Craigslist not long ago… can’t remember when or where exactly but I think in 2010 and I think in Colorado for I think about $15K. If you are looking to restore an early one in the rolling restoration style then this is your car to start with!
Very nice and straight other than a bump in the bumper. Hood fit is not quite right on the passenger side but not terrible or anything.

Update 8/18/10: I am told this is Giulia SS 10121*380956, 00121*01092. That engine is now missing though. Also, it does come with a windshield and is in France.
Thanks to an email from Elmar I can inform you all that this very rough Giulia SS can be yours for the asking price of 11,900 Euro’s. I’m going to guess someone pulled this out of a scrap yard that should have been its final resting place. I have seen worse in person and in pictures so I guess I shouldn’t dismiss it utterly. What’s a hundred hours of welding between friends anyway?
It’s on wheels at least. Note notched out nose and busted up headlights. I see a steering wheel.

Update 8/6/10: This car is now on eBay with a pretty reasonable opening price. Bidding is $6000 with 3 bidders, reserve not met as I write this.
Update 7/31/10: Giulietta Sprint 10105 1493*22433. I knew if I paid attention long enough the VIN of this car would come out. After a year of some work and hanging around this car has now been listed on eBay by a seller who seems to always have a lot of Alfa stuff listed. How did I determine it’s the same car? The chromed fuel filler cover among other things. Asking is now $29,000.
Looks pretty good. Lots of new pictures if you follow the VIN link. Engine is revealed to be a 2 liter, rear end is 5.12 and all the other usual abnormale stuff. Seats are not original.
Update 11/3/09: This car is back on Craigslist. Still in Palm Springs, still asking $18,000 and still potentially a good deal if the condition is as good as it looks.
Nose looks very good with lustrous paint and good chrome.

Update 7/26/10: This car is on eBay right now. I’m not sure if it’s the same seller as before -the listing says Florida and the car ships out of PA which is where it was when it was being sold on the BB. Either way -it looks like a pretty good place to start your Spider Veloce project.
Originally posted 4/6/2009: Giulietta Spider Veloce 10107*167587, Engine 00106*01197. This car is available right now on the AlfaBB our of Pennsylvania. No asking price is stated but it sounds like in the neighborhood of $20,000 is what the seller would like.
The ever popular ‘before’ picture. Looks pretty good from an accident damage and rust standpoint. This has the neat small tail lights with separate reflectors below them.

This treatment reminds me of Market 228 Sprint -either it’s how they come out when a bondo mask is applied, or the same artist at work. But… it comes with a spare nose for grafting purposes. Yea… looks scary but it’s on wheels and lots of stuff is in place.
