Patrick,
My Spider, 750D, red with black interior. First sold in USA in 1957. Identification AR149501239. California Black plate CER080. In 2000 was imported by a Holland citizen; I bought it un June 2007 to a Holland restorer. It seem not to have been restored but well maintaned. According to the enngine/gearbox numbers, they are of a 1959 Sprint (101 series).
At present I'm restoring the steering weel, putting seat belts and other minor works; I'm grateful to the guys of the forum that have helped on this!!!

Franco and Eusebio, I have both of your cars posted.
Eusebio, do you know when your car was built? It could either be a late-'56 or very-early '57, as the car that has the next higher chassis number than yours was built on 31 Jan., 1957.

Please can you help me find some history for my 2 Giuliettas?.
I guess both cars arrived to Caracas Venezuela ending the fifty or begining the sixtys.
In that time many sports cars arrived here including Maseratis,Ferraris,Mercedes,&Alfas,to run the famous Gran Premio de Caracas.
(Infamous to Maserati,them lost in crashes all his works race team).
Giulietta Spider have vin #1495 02955. When i bought the car 10 year ago
had missing engine and i replace with a 1600 Giulia engine.
Giulietta Sprint vin#1493 09143 engine #131507827
Thank You For Your Help.
Mario

Mario,
If you send an e-mail to Marco Fazio at Alfa's Archivio Storico (ArchivioStorico@alfaromeo.com), including your two chassis numbers, he would be able to give you additional information on each. The information that you'll likely receive is the car's build year, model, color, the dealer first sold to, etc.

Hi Patrick
Fairly newcomer to alfabb but I have been following your threads . I think you and I are about the same place in our restorations I am restoring a 1962 spider # 170642. I have also been following George's restoration. Wow he's putting me to shame. I will never acheive his perfection. My car has just been painted Alfa red, engine and 5 speed rebuilt but not in yet. Seats redone and all rust removed and POR15'ed underneath. History! I have had the car since 1969 I think third owner, but only started restoring in 1998. Been garage kept all these years. Restoration slowly moving forward I'm in northern NJ. Keep in touch. Have to write to AlfaJay about his alternator thread. I'll attach picts when further along.
Thanx

Hi Al,
I'll add your car to the list. It must be difficult to work on the car in this weather? We've been getting lots of rain and wind lately, and I get a bit wary of working in the cold garage. You're ahead of me in the restoration, I think, as I'm just starting to rebuild the engine. I've also yet to install all the wires/tubes/cables that run under the car from front to back.

A message from Alfar7 Richard Jemison:
I have no idea if this car has ever been on your registry.
I own a 1962 Giulietta Spider AR 171830
This car has been raced since new and has a fantastic history. Pics on my website, Scuderiagiallo.com.

Not in the 60's either. My '65 invoiced to Newark in April, was not delivered until the first load of Duetto's came in! Perhaps they were just saving it for me!

1965 Alfa Romeo Giulia Spider Veloce, 390381, currently under restoration in Massachusetts by Terry Rushbrook:
"According to our documentation files, the chassis number AR 390381 originally corresponds to an Alfa Romeo Giulia Spider Veloce (101.18), manufactured on the 9th April 1965 and sold on the 20th April 1965 to Alfa Romeo Inc. from Newark, U.S.A.
The body colour is white, with red interiors."

Terry,
Your car is dated April 9, 1965...390381...my car 390685...May 31, 1965...less weekends off, is about 39 days of production between us. There are 304 cars difference. That works out to about 8 cars per day of production...about car an hour perhaps? I always wanted to figure this out. One of these days I will sit down with as much production numbers as I can get my hands on with production dates coupled with colors and see if there are batch color runs from PF.

Based on my experience with tracing 2600 SZ cars, there are at least a couple of things you should take into consideration:
1. The cars were probably not manufactured in the sequence of the chassis numbers.
2. I learned that the manufacturing date is not the date the cars were built or completed, but the date the car was consigned to Alfa Romeo (e.g. when the cars were being loaded on trucks at the manufacturing plant).
Therefore, assumptions about the 39 days between 304 may be misleading.
