1968 Fiat 124 Spider Convertible 2-Door 1.4L

1968 Fiat Other Description

THIS IS A VERY EARLY FIRST YEAR TO BE IMPORTED INTO THE UNITED STATES FIAT 124 SPIDER CONVERTIBLE. IT HAS THE ORIGINAL DRIVE TRAIN, UPGRADED CHROMODORO ALLOY WHEELS WITH CORRECT FIAT CAPS. THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER IS ORIGINAL BUT I HAVE ADDED A VOLT METER THAT WILL NEED TO BE CONNECTED BUT LOOKS GOOD IN THE DASH VERSUS THE CLOCK. I UPGRADED THE STEERING WHEEL TO A LATER MODEL 124 FOR THE COMFORT. THE TOP IS NEW.THE CAR RUNS FINE AND HAS A NEW GAS TANK IN IT AS WELL.. TO MAKE IT ROADWORTHY MY NEXT STEP WAS TO GO THROUGH THE SUSPENSION AND BRAKING SYSTEM. THE TIRES ARE VERY CLOSE TO NEW AND ARE MICHELINS. I HAVE TWO SET OF SETS BELTS TO BE INCLUDED, BOTH THE ORIGINAL IN ROUGH SHAPE AND A SET OF NEWER YEAR BELTS AND ATTACHMENTS.
I REPAINTED THE HOOD BUT PLANNED ON REPAINTING THE WHOLE CAR AND REPLACED THE COWL AS IT HAD SOME RUST SO IT WAS CHEAPER TO REPLACE THEN REPAIR. THE TWO PRIMERED SPOTS ON THE HOOD ARE OLD BODY WORK FROM THE ORIGINAL OWNER THAT I HIGHLIGHTED. I SUPSPECT THE LEFT FRONT FRENDER WAS REPLACED AS WELL.
I BOUGHT THIS FROM THE ORIGINAL OWNER AND AS IT HAS BEEN SO LONG I WAS GIVEN A BILL OF SALE AND WILL SELL IT BASED ON THE SAME. IT WAS LAST REGISTERED IN 1992 IN CALIFORNIA AND CARRIES THE PLATE STILL.
