GTA Jr. On eBay

I saw this car a few years back at Concorso Italiano. It's even nicer in person. Anyone know more about it?

hmmm, it's just up the street from me. Are those the correct seats? What's a car like this worth?

I was wondering the same thing about the seats...

Seats look correct except for the rear back rest that looks repaired at the top where it's exposed to the sun.

Lovely car. Wish it were mine.

However, surely it's not the only GTA Jr. Stradale in the U.S.? Doesn't John Hoard still own his, for example?

The car seems to not have ANY of the rare magnesium parts or a sliding block. A true Stradale.

With what such a car is likely worth, if they really want to sell it, I wonder why they've got it on ebay rather than at a proper auction. Seems like you wouldn't get nearly the action on ebay.

I have a picrture of this GTAJ that is named Jan Krieder's GTAJ.

Well folks, I think we have at least a partial answer to Gary's questions. With over 7 days to go it has 30 bids, highest bid currently almost $100K. I'd say it's getting strong bidding and lots of attention especially considering today's economic conditions.

I'd like to believe our Alfa's values will defy the worst downturn since the last "D". Call me a cynic, but unless the car has no reserve or the reserve has been met, the bidding is meaningless.

Well, it ran out of bidding at $91K. No late bids at all. Guess the economy is taking a toll.

I don't think eBay is a good place to sell rare cars like this. These cars are currently trading hands privately and/or through brokers for a lot more than this price right now. If this was a documented Autodelta car with great history, expect to have paid at least double what this one ended at.

alfabender · #15 (**permalink**) 11-27-2008, 06:08 PM

Well, it isn't a documented Autodelta car. It's just a very nice Stradale GTA Jr. There have been a small number of these for sale in Europe lately, in this similar price range.
