This 1978 Fiat 124 Spider was purchased by the current owner couple years ago. Power comes from a 1.8 liter twin-cam inline-four coupled with a 5-speed manual transmission. Engine runs smooth and it is a fun little convertible to drive.
It is fitted with tubular exhaust manifold and ANZA exhaust system. Sounds great.

Paint is very glossy, it was polished couple of months ago . There are some imperfections from previous paint work.
Repainted in the past with a driver quality repaint, the seller’s mechanic believes the driver-side front clip had been replaced at one time and that filler was used on the bodywork. Minor chips are visible, and a ding in the hood and a poorly touched up area on the driver’s rear corner can be seen in the gallery.
There is a small area on the hood that appears to have paint crack from over bending it.
Rear left corner by the headlight was dented and some touch up paint work was performed there.
Chrome on the bumpers is showing small pitting areas.
The suspension has been modified with stiffer springs on the rear and new performance shocks on all four corners. Recent improvements include new upper and lower controls arms, rebuilt rear axles, new brake rotors all around, and new tail light assemblies.
The interior was originally brown/tan and has been color changed to black. The seats and top were sourced from a donor car, and new carpets and a custom dashboard with a deleted radio were installed. Red seat belts, and Pininfarina floor mats have been added, and the custom short shifter is topped off with a black leather shift knob.
