Description:
Thanks for taking a look at our 1969 Fiat 850 Sport Coupe.
We purchased this rare Coupe as part of a package of 6 cars. As the story goes, a nut and bolt restoration was begun approximately 15 years ago. The owner’s very clean California Sport Coupe was disassembled, the mechanicals were removed and the body was stripped. A nice repaint was completed in period correct Molteni Orange. The gentleman who had begun the restoration passed and the car was sold to a relative. He had intended on restoring the car but stored it for a number of years as a painted roller, an incomplete project. Our friend purchased the car with the same intention. We had known of the car for years and were finally able to buy the project this year.
We took up the challenge of furthering our Italian education and completed the project in approximately 6 months. In the process we have had the car completely apart and have rebuilt nearly everything with new and correct parts.
Check our website for the restoration pics.
