1980 Fiat Spider 2000 in Black/Very Dark Brown. Engine runs strong. The transmission works well and the car is fun to drive. This car is actually quite quick and passing on the freeway is easy and sounds great. This is a car I cared for and planned on keeping and continuing to restore it but I am selling my house and can’t keep it. Bottom line: This car is not a show car but looks nice, has nice paint and a reliable engine. Please ask me specific questions you have. Car is registered Non Op. in California.
Odometer shows 53,000 miles though it is probably more like 60,000 as the speedometer and odometer stopped working after I put in a new stereo. The car has very little rust for it's age and the body is straight. There are a few very minor dings in the body. Most of the original undercoating is intact.
