105 series | Classic Italian Cars For Sale

We've seen some odd listings this week. First, there was the Fiat 500 Jolly conversion service listed as a 2015 Fiat 500. Now, we have people casually listing a parts car right alongside their runner on eBay. We see that a bit on Craigslist, where it's pretty normal, but it just seems off on eBay.

And, what a pair we have here. See, the cars both require new rear ends. So the parts car doesn't really solve the problems on the running car. The main listing, the silver example, has a salvage title, having seen some damage to its rear end. The damages were clearly not professionally repaired, which has led to its deteriorated condition seen in photos today. The maroon parts car, on the other hand, was never repaired, having experienced very similar damages.

Fortunately for prospective buyers, the parts car seems to have been refreshed within 10k miles of its demise. The seller doesn't state the nature of the engine work, but it was likely rebuilt, if we had to guess. The clutch and exhaust were also replaced at that time.

So, we have two cars' worth of GTV driveline and not a single body worth swapping them into - simply, that is. The silver car could be brought back to health with some involved bodywork, as could the maroon car, theoretically. Either way, we don't see the numbers adding up to the seller's asking price, for us at least. Maybe someone out there with some home body repair skills will take on these two ailing GTVs. We certainly hope that they both don't become parts cars.

Well, we promised a Giulia, but this isn't the Giulia that we promised. We'll get a modern Giulia up on the site later this week, but for now, check out this surprisingly clean 105 series Giulia 1300 Ti, and let us know how we do in describing the details on this thing - 60s Alfa experts, we are not.

The Tipo 105.39 Giulia 1300 Ti shared chassis and suspension mechanical bits with the sportier Super, but differed in engine selection. The 1300 Ti Giulias featured the 1,290cc single down-draft Solex carburetorater engine of the 105 series 1300GT Junior, vs. the more basic 101 series-derived lump in the plain Giulia 1300. Being a later car, it has circular gauges, but lacks the binnacles of the Super models. For better or worse, it lacks the dual-circuit brakes of the 1970+ models, but maintains four wheel disc brakes. The Turismo Internationale represents a sporty medium in the Giulia range.

Year: 1969
Model: Alfa Romeo Giulia 1300 Ti
Engine: 1,290cc 4-cyl
Transmission: 5-speed manual
Mileage: 8,309 mi
Price: $22,500

The condition of the car is rather remarkable. We would be sure to ascertain that the mileage listed is actual. We would also seek out all of the relevant details required to consider a car of this ilk, as the listing is entirely devoid of detail. Is the car restored? Is there rust? It sure appears that either the car was restored, or it is an incredible survivor - and at $22,500, we'd wager that the former scenario is more probable.

Were we not in the middle of some space-consuming garage activities, we'd have a tough time turning this example down. Mark us down as fans of the light blue color and single headlights. We're also keen on the simpler single-circuit brakes, and four-wheel discs. Would a 1600 Super be preferable? Sure, but we'll take top condition over top spec any day. And, this car sure seems to deliver on condition.
