History About Alfa Romeo's Giulietta Model:
Since their inception, Alfa Romeo was a company born to race. Much
like their Italian counterparts, a great deal of the racing
knowledge made its way into production models made for consumers to
enjoy on the open road. Of course, in many cases, the best was
saved for performance models. The Alfa Romeo Giulietta came to the
market in 1954 as the Sprint 2+2 Coupe, later followed by a Berlina
4-door Saloon in early 1955, and 2-seater Spider convertible
midyear designed by Pinin Farina with racy good looks, gracefully
understated and elegant from every angle! The model everyone truly
wanted was the racing-inspired Veloce, often savored by amateur
road racers and enthusiasts alike. These particular models remain
among the highest in collectability today! These rare,
high-performance Giulietta Spider Veloces are quite special, with
only 2,796 ever produced!
Details About Our Available Giulietta Spider Veloce:
We are very excited to offer for sale a rare, and highly original,
1960 Alfa Romeo Giulietta Spider Veloce! It represents the first
year of the slightly longer wheelbase examples produced, bearing a
chassis 2" longer than the previous Giulietta 750 Series along with
roll up windows. These "101 Series" units also had slightly larger
main bearings, better block castings, larger head studs, stronger
connecting rods, and new fuel pump location for standard
models.
Finished in desired Rosso Alfa over Black interior with a matching
Black Stayfast canvas top, this number's matching example is
powered by its original all aluminum 1300cc twin cam Inline 4
producing a mighty 103 horsepower at 6,000rpm! Options include
4-speed fully synchronized transmission, roll up windows, full Alfa
Romeo Veglia instrumentation, and Vredstein 155SR15 Sprint Classic
radial tires. The real excitement behind this Italian classic lies
under the hood! Veloce models came equipped with a ram air
induction system with unique air box, larger Weber DCOE
carburetors, electric fuel pump delivery system, higher 9.7:1
compression forged pistons, hotter street cams, tube steel headers
with hi-po exhaust, high volume oil pump, special sump for oil
cooling, and helix cut front brake drums to aid cooling! Totally
dry, this amazing little rocket weighs in at 1,896 pounds!!
Finding a factory Giulietta Spider Veloce is a real treat! When
studying the factory specific attributes; like the firewall VIN
stamp, engine stamp, factory data plates, the cant of the motor to
accommodate the larger Weber carburetors created with the use of
specially designed engine mounts, the blocked mechanical fuel pump
opening, the special air duct work, the tachometer that starts at
2,000rpm, a speedometer showing a max speed of 140mph, special
location of the fuel filter, among other features, you quickly
realize how truly special they are! Our available example has been
recently serviced to include new gas tank & straps, fuel sending
unit, new exhaust system, driveshaft support bushing & bearing,
water/oil temp sensors, new engine mounts, rebuilt Weber
carburetors, new throttle/choke cables, distributor cap/rotor, air
filters, engine/transmission fluids, new coolant, front control arm
limit cables, rear axle limit straps, brake hoses & pressure
switch, new brake fluid, new battery with hidden cabin disconnect,
among a few other items to prepare it for sale and confident street
use!
