Description:

Abandoned project 1968 Fiat 124 Spider shop find offered.
This early 1968 Fiat 124 Spider is from the second year of production and the first year officially imported in to the USA by Fiat.
While this Italian classic has not been registered since 1991 it is remarkably complete and in good condition for being 47 years old. The twin cam engine fires up and sounds great. Shifter is a mystery (loose and floppy) but gears can be found and seem to indicate a good transmission. Very minimal rust can be found which should be a straight forward repair. See photos of drivers foot well, floor under driver’s seat, left rocker panel and right front lower fender, underside front area of hood. That is all the rust we can spot. Each of these locations look to be easy patch repairs rather than complete panel replacements. Amazing for such an old Fiat Spider. Having said that this car will be a complete project without a doubt.
Roughly 10 years ago the goal was to restore the Spider and some work was done to get the engine running such as radiator repairs, carburetor stripped and cleaned along with fresh tune up parts. And that is where the project stalled. So in reality this Fiat has been waiting its turn to return to the road for 25+ years.
Don’t miss this chance to pick up an early example of a genuine classic.
Located in Temecula, California in person inspections can be arraigned and are encouraged.
This car is sold with only a bill of sale. It is not currently registered and there are no plates or title to go with the car. While the odometer shows 34, 833 it is not known if the mileage has rolled over or not. Also the car is sold as is without any guaranty or warranty.
I will do my best to answer any questions.
