When it comes to assessing whether a car is a one-of-one or a one-of-10 due to its mix of features, the American car crowds are usually the best equipped to combine equipment data with production figures to determine rarity. However, European car fans often apply the same approach in slightly different ways, with early versus late production being one key differentiator between varying years of the same model. This 1967 Alfa Romeo Giulia is a rare “Sprint GT Veloce” spec, which abounds with features not found on the later cars.

Now, it’s clear this Alfa has been battered around a bit, with seemingly every body panel showing some evidence of damage. The tan paint job is also a bit of a turn-off, as it looks like it was originally red – the color that every vintage Alfa seemingly looks perfect in. I’m sure if these body panels could talk, they would tell quite a tale. The body panels are an interesting detail, however, as a model like this is sought out for having what Alfa enthusiasts refer to as “low wheel arches”, which I imagine has to do with a difference that was made in later years that made the rear fender lip appear to sit higher above the back wheel. I know on my ’87 BMW 325is, eagle-eyed enthusiasts will tell you that the rear wheel arches sit closer to the tops of the tires than on later cars. Another important detail of this Alfa? The smaller rear tail light lenses, which this car has.

Another key details that appears to be correct is the lack of a center console. That, along with the bigger tail lights and revised arches, is another difference between this model and the Giulias that would come later. The seller’s car is certainly rough inside but it does appear to retain a correct dash with original woodgrain and a bucket seat that provides some clues as to the original interior upholstery scheme. The listing does not mention whether a driver’s seat is lurking somewhere, but I’m guessing it if was included, we’d see it in the photos. Even in decay, this is still a phenomenal cockpit.

The seller mentions that there is no title with this Alfa, and based on its general condition, I wouldn’t be surprised if this was rescued out of an impound yard. The damage seems consistent with a car that was backed into repeatedly rather than one that was involved in a wreck. The listing makes no mention of the engine or transmission health, though both appear to be present. If you find out this is a numbers-matching example, that may help to offset the lack of a title (which can certainly be worked around.) This interesting Alfa is listed here on eBay with bids to $1,025 and the reserve unmet.
