1961 Giulietta Spider Veloce For Sale
Greetings everyone,
After long consideration I have made the decision to offer my Giulietta Veloce project to the person that can take it to the next level. The pics show the car as purchased approximately four years ago and where it is at present time. The motor (original 1300) is complete with all work being performed by Paul Poore of Poore Performance in Doylestown, PA. I have probably 100 photos showing the car at various stages of restoration but thought these best reflect where it’s at today. It was a wonderful find as you can see. It was a complete car in good condition when we started the restoration. It had been stored indoors since 1978 when it was taken off the road. I am only the third owner. The second owner owned it for almost 40 years. The decision to offer it for sale was difficult but necessary. I simply cannot afford to continue. All sheet metal on the body is better than 90% complete. The person who performed it is truly a master at his trade having worked over the years on cars that have Pebble Beach history. His work must be seen to be fully appreciated. Interior is complete but needs restoration. Very little missing from original car (bumper guards, front end eyebrows and a few other small bits). Central documentation (Storico Alfa Romeo) has chassis number AR-167587 originally corresponding to a Giulietta Spider Veloce manufactured on October 25, 1960 and sold on June 9, 1961 to Hoffman Motor Car Co., New York. I know that it will be nearly impossible to recover what I have invested selling the car at this level of completion. Those who have completed full concours restorations know that these projects are not for the faint of heart or the beginner (I learned this the hard way). I have invested over $20,000 in the Alfa. All completed work is professionally done, but still a ways to go. Most of the black bits and suspension pieces finished. I’ll end this by saying the car can be seen in Pipersville, PA (40 miles north of Philadelphia). I would encourage anyone interested to come see the project. Thought it only fair to offer up the car first to the Alfa enthusiast here on the BB. I will try to answer any questions you might have. Please be fair with offers. Great opportunity for someone with the expertise to complete. Thank you. Jerry
