Original car Owner ……….  Mr. Thomas Herdklotz

The Giulietta Veloce was purchased new from an Alfa Romeo Dealer , Midwest Auto Imports Inc., in Chicago, Illinois.

Original Purchase Date :  August 18th , 1962

Herdklotz used the Alfa for seven years and drove it 32,200 + miles until the Fall of 1969. Then the car was garaged and partially dismantled to prepare for the 1970 SCCA Racing Season.                 

Career and family responsibilities prevented Mr. Herdklotz from working on the car, so it stayed garaged for 20 years until 1989.

Current Owner, who is the second owner of the car, purchased the Alfa from Thomas Herdklotz in 1989. He then stored the Alfa until deciding in 2009 to proceed with a complete dis-assembly and bare metal restoration.

In July of 2009 the dis-assembly was started and then the completely stripped body/chassis was shipped to McCabe Automotive Restorations for the miscellaneous body work and re-painting. The complete body and chassis restoration was performed by the McCabe Automotive Restorations, in Mundelein, Illinois.  

The car was re-painted in the original color, referencing factory records to have been AR008 White, as confirmed by Marco Fazio of the Museo Storico at the Alfa Romeo Factory Museum. It was decided to replicate the original paint texture as well. To achieve that goal, a single stage Urethane paint manufactured by Glasurit was chosen.  All areas of the body received at least five coats of the paint. Some areas of the body received six or seven coats of the Glaurit paint. After the painting was completed and cured, the surfaces were wet sanded and polished to a level exactly matching the original.

The engine and transmission were shipped to Besic Motorsports, located in Glenn Ellyn, Illinois, for a complete tear down and re-build. 

The drive train assembly was sent to the PHP Racing Laboratory for Dyno-Bench enginetesting: The test results show a maximum of 99 H.P. @ 6800 R.P.M.

Included in a substantial portfolio of documents for the car are :

*   the original purchase invoice dated August 18th 1962,

*   the factory applied window sticker which was carefully removed and saved by the original owner

*   the original owners manual in its leather pocketbook

*   the original service coupon book and many other records and printed documents.

This is one of the best 1750 Spider Veloce examples in the world. Two owner car with approx. 21,000 original miles. This car has been amazingly preserved and it is 100% original. Vehicle was "Turntable Car" displayed at the 1969 Chicago Auto Show, which explains the very rare Crème and Black interiors. AR1480215 has been verified by Centro Documentazione to be a matching Engine/Chassis vehicle. One of the very few vehicle available with Factory Original: Paint, Top, Tires, Transmission, Exhaust, Brake System, Upholstery, Carpets, Matts, Tool Kit & Jack, Original Owner's Manual, Service Coupon Book, Color Chart...etc.
