I'm selling my 1956 Giulietta Berlina (750 series). VIN AR1488*01774*, engine 1315*51850*. This is a US market car, very original, body will need plenty of work as will interior. Pretty straight, complete, dawn grey, charming but rusty around the lower extremeties. I bought it from Bill Gillham three years ago, Drew Dawson owned it before that. Had kicked around the NW previously, had a 1964 WA title and plates.
It is registered, running, insured, and functional. I rebuilt the original 750 engine fully (head, crank, pistons, everything), new clutch, resealed column-shift gearbox, fully rebuilt brakes, new u-joints, fuel pump, carb, exhaust, steering idler, generator, water pump, new Vredesten tires. Comes with extra doors, many NOS good Berlina-specific parts (see below). Basically a good operable car that needs cosmetics, or stabilize the underside and enjoy the patina up top, which was my plan, since I like patina. There is a thread on its mechanical restoration on the Giulietta forum on the AlfaBB with a million pictures, but I can send more too. Engine is the original 750, with rebuilt head by Norman Racing. 7.5 pistons, which it had originally, are NLA, so it has 9.0. Has a Veloce intake cam and Sprint/Spider two-barrel Solex and manifold, though it'd be easy enough to go back to the one-barrel. Has a 101 4-2-1 exhaust installed. Doors are really rust at bottoms, but four good ones come with. A couple chassis legs are rusty, but the floors, rockers, and trunk floor are surprisingly solid. Front jack points at rockers are poor. Everything works except horn, wipers, gas tank sending unit. Heater fan works, but hot water is not hooked up due to piping disagreements. These parts are included: * NOS instrument binnacle * NOS hood "bullhose" trim * NOS pair grille eyebrows * NOS trunk handle/license light * NOS front ashtray * NOS rearview mirror * NOS pair inside above-door grab handles * NOS front and rear window seals * NOS door glass seals * NOS trunk seal * NOS radio blanking plate * NOS single-throat Solex 32 PBIC * NOS 750 fuel pump * NOS six-inch headlights plus rims, bulbs, reflectors, etc. * NOS Berlina hubcap set (three loose, one on car) * NOS single-throat intake manifold * Two NOS doors and two good used doors * Extra set shiny door window trim * Lucas push-handle starter (Bosch starter installed) * Lucas wiper motor * ? Exhaust clamp * Column shift linkage * Two used Solex 32 PBIC * Carb rebuilt kit * Extra set bumpers with overriders (need chroming) * Two chrome rocker spears * Original single-throat intake manifold with water pipe * Lucas distributor * Bag window and door knobs * Pair extra taillight bases Car drives reasonably well. I have used it around town but have not taken long trips. This car I've decided not to pursue, though it's incredibly charming and fun. You won't see yourself coming down the road. Clean California title and plates. Eligible for historic rallies like California Mille, Mille Miglia, etc. as a 1956 model. I have far more in it than it's worth, but I paid $7000 and that's what I'd hope to get. Have $4000+ additional in the engine, brakes, etc. plus a million hours' labor.
