First up, he reserve price on this auction is $3,700, hich basically covers the costs of my initial vehicle buy and the new wheels/tires. Just wanted to put that out there because I know sometimes it can be a mystery.
Up for sale is my 1975 Fiat Spider that runs well, s fun to drive, nd gets lots of looks when she is out and about! I've had her for a few years and she's always been garaged and has never seen rain since I've owned the car. Before I bought the car she was owned by a car collector and stored in a warehouse for about 10 years. While there is some surface rust in a few spots, he trunk lid has cosmetic cracking of the bondo, nd some rust under the driver's floorboard (all pictured) the car is very structurally sound.
I also believe it was redone in terms of exterior and interior at some point in the late 1980s because it has fiberglass front fenders, as been repainted and has new seat upholstery. The interior is in great shape aside from cracking on the dash pad. It even has nice cloth seats instead of vinyl so it doesn't burn your legs on summer days!
I drive it to work and on errands but it's most fun to drive on back country roads. It could be driven home today or you could completely restore it if you had the interest.
I have upgraded several things over the last few years. Below are some of the details on the car, he upgrades I've done, nd extra parts that come with the car.

Again, he car is in pretty good condition for one of it's vintage and runs well. I'm not a mechanic but the mechanic where I take her specializes in older Fiats and has told me she is in good shape mechanically. I only drive it on nice days because I like to take care of her and keep her out of the rain. She's a good little car and I will be sad to see her go but I just don't have the opportunity to get the car out of the garage often enough. I'd rather someone else get some enjoyment from this little Fiat rather than keeping her locked away in the garage.
I will end the auction if the car sells locally first. Buyer is responsible for pick up in 41048 (near Cincinnati, H).
If you have questions please don't hesitate to ask. Thanks for looking!
