Did you notice the craigslist link i posted a couple pages back of a guy in dallas with a few sprint parts? Of his items, he has what looks to be a nice steering wheel, but its not an ernesto nardi.

These three cars are available for sale in SoCal. Just saw this post last night. '64 Giulietta Spider, '74 GTV, and a '75 Giulia Super.

(EDIT - contact info removed)

The GTV doesn't look bad, but I'd put the bumpers back on. Great to see one that isn't red. The Rota wheels don't bother me much, but I'd rather have Panasports on it. (Or American Racing Libres or LeMans wheels.) The Super Ti isn't bad either.

Im sure those are out of my budget, but they look great

^^^ Buyer beware, as always. I've found out this particular guy has sold a ton of cars and parts through eBay etc, and some forum members didn't have positive things to say.

Im always suspicious when someone in CA is selling a car that clearly was recently registered. The fact that all the plates start with a "7" means that its a fairly new registration. Doesnt ALWAYS apply, but in this case, I think its a flipper

[LateFan]

^ Yep...seemed like an older guy deciding to thin out his cherished old car collection....nope, he's a well-known flipper.



Here's a series 2 Spider with original Cromodora Daytona magnesium wheels. They really fit the 105s, look good on GTVs. Hard to find, but there are alum repros (and some really bad knock-offs).

Tipo 33 / TT12 on-board

seems like he lets off the throttle awful early before his turns.

maybe he's just baby-ing it a little. looks like its pretty darn fast considering how easily he passes other cars

I'm reading that the new Giulia Quadrifoglio sedan has beaten the 'Ring time it previously lost to the Porsche Panamera. 7.32 sec for a production sedan - is that really good? I don't pay much attention.

Speaking of sedans, this one is in really good shape...
1983 Alfetta sedan, in Holland. I don't think we got them past '79, so they must have kept selling them in Europe. We didn't get those headlights either. Ronal A1 wheels. I always liked this car.
