1980 FIAT SPIDER 2000 ROADSTER. READY TO GO! I AM EXTREMELY PROUD TO OFFER AN EXTRAORDINARY CLASSIC SPORTS CAR DESIGNED BY PININFARINA FOR FIAT. THE CLASSY CONVERTIBLE'S SMOKE GRAY BODY IS COMPLIMENTED BY A TAN TOP AND REMARKABLY WELL KEPT INTERIOR. THERE ARE NO PROBLEMS WITH USUAL ISSUES SUCH AS FADED WOODWORK OR TIRED UPHOLSTERY. DOORS CLOSE SMARTLY, THE TRUNK OPENS EASILY AS DOES THE HOOD. NOTE THE EXCEPTIONALLY CLEAN ENGINE COMPARTMENT. THIS IS THE HIGHLY DESIRABLE AND SOMEWHAT UNIQUE 1980 YEAR MODEL WHICH INTRODUCED THE LEGENDARY 1995 CC POWER PLANT AND, AS AN EARLY PRODUCTION MODEL, HAS THE WEBER CARBURETOR WHICH WAS SUPERCEDED BY FUEL INJECTION IN MID-PRODUCTION YEAR. A 49K MILE (current odometer reading) METICULOUSLY MAINTAINED EXAMPLE, UNMOLESTED CLASSIC FEATURING CORRECT FIAT ALLOY WHEELS WITH MATCHED SET OF PREMIUM RADIALS. THE CUSHION GRIP STEERING WHEEL IS VERY NICE. ALL GUAGES WORK INCLUDING THE HORN, LIGHTS, INCLUDING COURTESY LIGHT WHICH ILLUMINATES INTERIOR WHEN ENTERING. TURN SIGNALS ARE FULLY OPERABLE, ALL GUAGES WORK PROPERLY, AS DOES THE SPEEDOMETER, ODOMETER. CLOCK WORKS BUT ADJUSTMENT KNOB NEEDS ATTENTION (VERY EASY). DOORS LOCK WITH KEY. HEATER WORKS GOOD. ORIGINAL AM-FM PUSH BUTTON RADIO PERFORMS AS EXPECTED. UPON MY RECEIVING THE CAR FROM THE PREVIOUS Ebay SELLER WHO HAS A FANTASTIC eBAY SCORE/REPUTATION, THE CAR WAS BELIEVED TO BE IN STORAGE FOR NEARLY 11 YEARS. RECOMMISSIONING WAS COMPLETED AND INCLUDES: NEW BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER NEW BRAKE COMPENSATOR NEW CLUTCH CABLE NEW EXHAUST SYSTEM INCLUDING MUFFLER AND CATALYTIC CONVERTER NEW DIE HARD BATTERY NEW DRIVE SHAFT CENTER SUPPORT AND BEARING NEW CORRECT WINDSHIELD WIPER BLADE ASSEMBLIES FROM ITALY NEW HOOD AND TRUNK BADGES PERFORMANCE IS SIMPLY AMAZING. IT STARTS UP EASILY WITH A TURN OF THE KEY AND PURRS QUIETLY. RESPONSE TO DRIVER’S URGING TO ACCELERATE IS IMMEDIATE AND SMOOTH. 5-SPEED TRANS SHIFTS AS IF BRAND NEW AND REVERSE IS EASY TO FIND! THERE ARE A MYRIAD OF SPEED BUMPS IN THE COUNTRY CLUB WHERE THE PIX WERE TAKEN BY THE PREVIOUS eBAY SELLER. THE CAR NEGOTIATED THE SPEED BUMPS SMOOTHLY. HANDLING IS TIGHT. I WOULD HAVE NO PROBLEM DISPATCHING THE CAR OR EVEN JUMPING IN IMMEDIATELY FOR A CROSS-COUNTRY JOURNEY. I RECENTLY PURCHASED THIS CAR FROM A HIGHLY REPUTABLE SELLER ON eBAY IN LAS VEGAS AND AM ONLY SELLING BECAUSE I FOUND AN ALFA ROMEO I WANT TO BUY WHILE I WAS DRIVING AROUND VEGAS WITH THE TOP DOWN BEFORE DRIVING THE CAR BACK TO LOS ANGELES. THE CAR PERFORMED GREAT DURING THE NEARLY 400 MILE DRIVE. A REASONABLE BUY IT NOW OPPORTUNITY IS POSTED FOR THOSE WHO DON'T WANT TO FUSS AND WAIT FOR THE AUCTION. THE SUCCESSFUL BIDDER MAY ANTICIPATE MY COOPERATION WITH DELIVERY TO YOUR SHIPPING AGENT INCLUDING THE PORT IN LOS ANGELES, IF NEEDED. SHORT TERM STORAGE WITH COMPLIMENTS AVAILABLE AS WELL. MANY YEARS OF HAPPY MOTORING TO THE FORTUNATE NEW OWNER. PICTURES OF CAR DESERVE A THANK YOU FROM THE PREVIOUS eBAY SELLER.
