Vehicle Detail

1971 Fiat 124 Spider 1600 BS1 with 76,000 original miles. The gentleman before me took really good care of the car, some panels have I believe original paint on them. Last month, my neighbor bumped the car while it was parked on the side of the street. Last week someone broke the right mirror on this car. I have the car parked on the streets, since I do not have a garage. This car drives and runs like a clock...I drove it to Richmond and back to VA Beach...300 miles both ways. I work in Norfolk and I have driven the car to work and back home without any problems. The car comes with a trunk full of parts for this car. All the gauges work, except the clock...there is an extra clock that has a label “working” in the trunk. There is small tear in the passenger seat, the bumper dent...as seen in the pictures. Not many of these left, especially in this condition. The body of the car was designed and marketed by Pininfarina. The convertible body was designed by Tom Tjaarda, who used his earlier designs of Chevrolet Corvette “Rondine” and Ferrari 275 GTS. The four-cylinder engine used in this Spider has a double overhead cam, 1608cc and it has 4-disc brakes. The Fiat Twin Cam engine was designed by Aurelio Lampredi. For those looking for a more vintage car with less obtrusive bumpers, the 1971 to 1972 cars have the looks, plus the best performance of any of the carbureted cars. If you research this year of Spiders you will see that in Europe they go for over 30,000 Euros and even here once they turn 50 will be worth a lot more. I am the second owner, the original owner was from Fredericksburg, VA. I wanted to purchase the '66 Alfa Romeo Graduate, but another person outbid me instead. The owner had the Fiat, Alfa and that truck from Jeepers Creeper, the movie for sale at the charity donated auction. But I am glad I had a chance to drive this amazing 45 year old car.
