What is the current price range for a 1964 Giulia?

I love the MORONS that run these CARNAVaLs called auctions. Normally the poor sap is the seller paying the 10%... Now the buyer pays...Of course!!! If it looks and sounds like a bunch of screaming actors in bleached blonde locks that are MEN, head for the exits. Now we can have an unlimited supply of cars for sale...No pain...no gain! sounds like a marketing plan. I gotta start one o'those auction companies! Back to the subject... I think we are now in the same ballpark. $15-20 for a nice car in the parade on the 4th of July.

Bamaman, tops and tires are not part of the judging criteria (for a buyer) unless you need have a tie that needs broken. Usually the tires are wrong and the wheels need paint.... if they don't need either it's a big bonus. Tops are for sissy's and judging at a concours.. If it works in a thunderstorm and keeps the egg salad sandwiches from turning to mush and it only takes three towels, a bucket and ten minutes to bail out, you have a good top. Otherwise no NO ONE will see it but you and the next owner. I'd never pass up a good solid car or negotiate over the canvas top or the tires unless they are stones. The next bit of advice will be billed on Paypal. Send us photos of your new acquisition! Promise not to ask the price!

I did not buy the car. Tops and tires are an expense. I add it all up. I bid the car too what is was worth to me all things considered.

If you thought owning one of these is like something current like a Honda, forget it.

I really do not need a lecture about owning or buying Alfas or any other car. I have owned 16 Alfas, countless Mercedes and Porsches, even a Honda!

I bought my first Alfa in 1972 when I graduated high school. Paid cash for it from money I EARNED working during high school from the Alfa dealer in NYC.

I promptly drove it to Montreal with a good friend. Upon our return from Montreal we still had the urge to drive the beuatiful blue 72 spider, so off we went to Key West.

Anything is only worth what someone is willing to pay for it. Comments like I have seen on this thread are the reason why I don't watch this stuff much. Grow up! And I have owned close to 100 Alfa's. Been around them since 1958 when my Dad bought a new 58 Spider. Bought my first 58 Spider Veloce in 64. Still own it. And many more.

OK, let's not get our panties in a bunch. We can all act like adults. I think it is a fair subject and could be discussed without getting all huffy. The ABB is the best venue around for great discussions about these wonderful cars. if you don't like the answers then stay out of the thread and take all your Alfas home and play by yourself.

Cheers,

I am seeing a recent upward trend, finally. My opinion is it's about time, these are fine cars, and should be worthy of competing price-wise as they did years ago on the track with a certain German import described with 3 numbers. A couple of recent Ebay sales, both Sprint and Spider seem to support my conclusion.

Don't be bitter, be better.

I have found that running 64 Giulia Normales 101.23 can be had for significantly below what is mentioned in this thread. I think it comes down to the buyer's willingness to travel to see the vehicle and having cash in hand. A cash deal will result in a lowered price beyound 20%. I am not talking about junk heaps but drivable vehicles. I mean engines and transmissions that have been rebuilt properly. body without significant corrosion, acceptable paint needing repainting, and chrome needing re-chroming.

Look for sellers who are either getting divorced, those who have lost their jobs or incomes, realitors, etc. Don't be too anxious. There are more than 20 of these coming up for sale every year. There appears to be a buyer for every seller at every price point. Don't be afraid to offer below the listed price.

Can anyone explain the very nice Giulietta "Abnormale" that just sold for $18.1k on eBay? I know it's not "correct", but given the effort / expense needed to do the 2L swap right that seems really cheap to me. Bet it's a hoot to drive, too...

I looked at the car, it was nice, but just a driver, with typical rust bubbles here and there, needing minor body work on nose and drivers front fender, lots of oil underneath. Good driver, good history and a great enthusiast owner. The market has spoken, and old Alfas are moving up fast.

I believe nothing i see on Ebay. It is like the Wild West. I recall the reserve lifting at 24.5k.
