Description

***PLEASE READ THIS FIRST...PLEASE READ THIS FIRST...PLEASE READ THIS FIRST!!!*** THIS CAR DOES NOT HAVE IT's ORIGINAL 1200CC PUSHROD ENGINE OR THE ORIGINAL TRANSMISSION!!!! All I can offer is a more modern 1800cc engine from a 124 spider and matching transmission. IF YOU DON'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT OLD FIATS, DONT BOTHER WITH THIS ONE!!! ALL, TO REPEAT, ALL THE TRIM IS PRESENT!!!I'm selling my '59 Fiat Cabriolet. I started this project about three years ago, but other commitments prevent me from moving forward. New parts include 4 brand new 14" tires, 4 Atlas white wall rings, and a new brake master cylinder. There is some perforation in the driver side door and the floor boards, otherwise rust free. It does not have the original push rod 1200cc engine. I have a 1800cc twin cam engine from a '77 Fiat spider to go in it. I have honed the cylinders and the rings and rod bearings are new. I have a freshly shaved cylinder head to go with it that includes the rare Lancia Scorpion type exhaust cam box, which doesn't have the mounting boss for the distributor. I have a distributor for the engine block mounting point, and it is converted to breakerless ignition. This will give the engine a very clean look, as well as moving the distributor away from the exhaust side of the engine. I don't have an alternator or starter. Some of the wiring will have to be fabricated. I have all the trim, but the chrome pieces need to be replated. I have all the glass. I upgraded the "Alfin" front drums with the disc brake system from a later 1500 Cabriolet. I have a standard Fiat 124 spider drive shaft which bolts up to the stock rear end, but will need to be lengthened by about 4". This will be a good, rare project for someone who knows old Fiats. Contact me with any questions. I'll help arrange shipping.
