The Sprint Speciale came to life under the hand of Bertone designer Franco Scaglione.<\/p>\n

You can trace its lineage back to the Berlinetta Aerodinamica Tecnicas, AKA B.A.T.<\/p>\n

The three concept cars were groundbreaking in their aerodynamics. So was Alfa\u2019s premier offering with a drag coefficient of just 0.28. This was one slippery design\u2014it would be 20 years before other production cars would be able to achieve that number.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The first 101 Giulietta SSs built were the \u201cLow Nose\u201d design. A minimum of 100 had to be built to homologate the SS for FIA regulations. Some of these had all aluminum bodywork, while others had a steel body and aluminum used for the doors hood and trunk lid. These were powered by a 1.3-liter, DOHC, 4-cylinder motor with 40 DCO3 carburetors.<\/p>\n

Changes for the production cars included steel doors, no plexiglass windows, a higher nose and bumpers and 40 DCOE2 Webers.<\/p>\n

\u00a0In 1963, another change gave the SS a new name. A 112-hp, 1.6-liter engine able to push the SS to 120 mph was installed. Another improvement: front disc brakes. The SS was no longer the diminutive Giulietta\u2014it was now the Giulia!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Numbers? 1,366 Giulietta Sprint Speciales were built, while 1,400 of the more powerful Giulias were produced. By count alone, these are relatively rare autos.<\/p>\n

For a long time\u2014and to many\u2014the Sprint Speciale was the unloved, red-headed stepchild. The Giulia Sprint Veloce was the collectible. The SS didn\u2019t really have a premium over\u2014for lack of a better word\u2014more \u201cpedestrian\u201d Alfas.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Things started changing, though, and the Sprint Speciale once again was lifted onto an Alfisti pedestal. As a result\u2014you don\u2019t go messing with them. Their design is sacrosanct. If you make changes, it would be like painting a mustache on the Mona Lisa, or telling Marilyn to hold her dress down! But many still have their own ideas of how to do things and where the beauty lies.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Tom \u201cZat\u201d Zatloukal raced and restored Alfas.<\/p>\n

Zat loves Alfas, he just wants to make them go<\/i>faster! He started out building a high-performance, lightweight SS<\/span>for himself.\u00a0 The steel body was wider and lower then stock and was running a 3.0 V6 Alfa motor. The hot rod was not shunned at Alfa events; in fact, people started placing orders. So Zat isn\u2019t exactly alone in his thinking.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s what brings me to this 1965 \u201cElaborata\u201d Giulia SS.<\/p>\n

\u00a0The builder is tipping his hat to the \u201cZat\u201d SSZs. It\u2019s been hot-rodded, modified, or desecrated\u2014 all depends on which set of eyes are gazing on it.<\/p>\n

All bumpers and extraneous chrome have been removed. The wheel wells have been radiused and given a lip. The front fenders have been smoothed with the removal of the arrow eyebrow over the wheel. The Vredestein-shod TZ wheels have also been moved out flush with the fenders to give a better stance. The only change to the interior is a set of modified Recaro seats. Although they take up more space they don\u2019t seem so out of place, and they hold you nicely and put you in a marvelous driving position.<\/p>\n

The engine and transmission, unlike Zat\u2019s creations, are original to the car. Current owner Mike Bruno was attracted to the car as it is. He\u2019s not a purist, he has other cars that have been breathed on, and he also has ones that are just like when they left the factory. The personality of this Sprint Speciale just spoke to him. When the car arrived, it was beautiful but lacked guts. That was taken care of at Dominick European Car Repair in White Plains, NY. With a slightly hotter cam and a really good tune-up, the SS was now show\u2026and go.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

You don\u2019t really need an excuse to drive an Alfa, but when you get to take a nice long drive on The Domenico & Tindara Memorial Drive against cancer, you don\u2019t have to think twice.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

It\u2019s an all-around fun machine, and it has no problem keeping up with traffic, you just have to be aware of people getting too close, trying to get a better look. Once off the main roads and onto a sun-dappled country route, chasing around with a few other Alfas, the joy flows right through the steering wheel. You think where you want to go and it does your bidding. The car feels<\/i>light almost to the point of fragile, but it\u2019s made of sterner stuff. The wonderful guttural growl coming from the exhaust makes you down shift and hit the gas so you can listen to the tune once more. The brakes make you anticipate a bit, but this is not a young car, so you let that slide. The greenhouse is open with lots of visibility, so there is plenty to see. With no side mirrors and only the compact size rearview to lend a hand, you go by the first rule of Italian driving: \u201cWhat\u2019s behind you is not important!\u201d\u00a0At the same time, the SS just does everything right. I didn\u2019t even mind going the wrong direction on the second part of the run; it gave me more seat time. So long as you have gas and spark, it\u2019s great fun to get lost in this Spinta Alfa.<\/p>\n

It may not to be to everyone\u2019s taste, but to me\u00a0(don\u2019t hate me) it\u2019s a tasty ride!<\/p>\n

Thank you, Mike Bruno, for sharing the joy.<\/p>\n
