Every once in a while we get to visit a certain group of Alfas that has morphed from a personal fleet into a personal collection lately. Ok, it's a collection of Alfas and a few Dinos - Coupe and Spiders, though those always seem to have an engine out and in some level of rebuilding. With a lot of examples of Alfas to take in, we always gravitate toward the Verde Pino Giulia Super parked close to the garage exit.
The old Alfisti could walk you through the model-year changes among the various Giulia offerings with impressive attention to detail. But, as Milano drivers, we know little of the history surrounding the earlier sedans. Super models featured standard features such as Weber carbs, disc brakes at all four corners, and a sporty steering wheel.
How about a Giulia Super for Milano Verde money? Today's Giulia represents the bottom of the market for driveable Giulia Supers. Being a later car, this Super was built in Arese, just like its transaxle descendants such as the Giulietta sedan and the 75/Milano.
We are no experts in these Type 105 cars, but we will state the obvious: these are the most competent sports sedans of their era. Start with a unibody chassis, add a suspension derived from their sports cars, a twin-cam aluminum powerplant, a five-speed manual, and an aerodynamic body, and the result is 10 years ahead of any contemporary models from BMW. Even today, aside from rust issues, you won't find a more robust and capable classic sports sedan.
This is a runner/driver/bomber type car. The brakes need some fiddling around however. I just had Power Brake Exchange restore the booster and master, though its still being finnicky. It also, hasn't been properly tuned yet, after having the fresh head put on. (Though the valve job is good!)
This has a Spica injected 2L.
The exact mileage on the cluster is unknown at the moment. The listed mileage was my best guess.
I also just had the head worked on, as the spark plug holes were stripped. The head has new valve seals, is faced and has time sert spark plug holes, never to be stripped again.
I painted it just to make it one solid color. The paint job is pretty BAD and the body work (whoever did it before me) isn't great either! If you want a perfect Super this is NOT your car. I just wanted the car one color, as it had really bad paint initially.
The most significant rust (it is an Alfa after all) is between the rear shock tower in the trunk area, as pictured. There are holes in the metal, however it isn't structural there. I have a replacement piece, that was cut out of a good car, if you care to replace it. There are a few small dime size holes in the floor here and there, but no real rocker rust.
I have the front and rear bumpers.
This ad is for the car alone. If you'd like a LOT of additional parts for additional money, we can talk after a deal is made for the car. I have a spare engine, transmission, interior, gauge set, doors, hood, trunk lid.... the list goes on! You can't get some of this stuff anymore.
I have another Super being restored that is demanding large payments at the moment, which is forcing the sale of this.
Let me know if you have any questions or would like additional pictures.
The car is for sale locally, and I reserve the right to end the auction if it sells locally.
I'd be happy to work with a shipping company, should you want to purchase it and have it shipped somewhere.

The owner of this car is forthcoming with the issues, particularly bodywork. He's done a decent job of at remedying the numerous problem areas using patch metal, but this remains a very rough car. Numerous rust holes still exist in the sheetmetal. The upside is that the seller has documentation of his bodywork, from stripping the car down all the way to filling and repainting.
The 2,000 swap should be pretty entertaining, especially given the rusted lightweight bodywork. We've seen Giulias more far gone than this, and it is a driver, so the price is actually pretty appealing. Now, will you end up spending more in the long run by getting this car back into presentable shape? More than likely, the answer is yes. But, that hasn't stopped anyone before!
