Description from the seller
Fiat 1500 GT Ghia - 1967 (1 of 36 Units for the American Market)
Highlight:
0 GT Ghia is a true automotive rarity. Since the model was not officially sold by Fiat in the United States, these scarce units were ordered directly in Italy by Krim Car Import Company (Detroit/Beverly Hills) to meet the high demand from American customers for this exclusive Turin design. From a total of only 846 units built by Ghia, this one is 1 of the very rare 36 originally destined for the American market, making it a unique collectible piece and a high-potential investment.
The vehicle is complete and is offered as a project for a full restoration, with enormous value-adding potential given its provenance and historical rarity.
1. BODYWORK AND PAINT
Detailed Information:
Current Condition: The vehicle has two-tone paint scheme (dark green with a central gold stripe). The current paint is not factory-original and was reapplied during an older restoration, showing signs of aging, scratches, and loss of shine in several spots. Through small checks performed on the car, all indications point to the factory original color being grey.
Rust and Structure: As a restoration project, the buyer should anticipate surface corrosion and structural areas that will need attention. The car is complete and structurally intact. History shows that at some point new floor panels (outers) were installed, most likely when painted in the current color scheme. However, the buyer should budget for deeper welding work in the restoration process. We recommend a detailed review of the photos or an in-person inspection.
Extensive Details: All glass is present and in good condition. The rubbers are in place but dried out due to age. The chrome elements (bumpers, headlight surrounds, window trim) are complete and in reasonable condition, requiring polishing or rechroming for a concours finish. The lights and emblems are in place, with the exception of the two side legends on the Carrozzeria Ghia panels. The original wheels and hubcaps accompany the car and are correct for the period.
2. MECHANICS
Technical Information:
Operation: The original Fiat 1500 engine is present, complete and can be made to run. However, the car is not in a drivable state. In the last test attempt, the clutch disc was seized. The vehicle had, in the past, been modified to a 5-speed gearbox for smoother highway driving. This modification is fully reversible, and the new owner can be provided with the contact of someone who has an original 4-speed box for sale if total originality is desired.
Maintenance: There is no history of recent maintenance. The buyer should plan for a thorough general overhaul and replacement of most wear components (brake system, suspension, tires, belts, fluids, and clutch). The fitted tires are old and not safe for road use.
Leaks: Since the mechanics are inactive for road use, it is not possible to verify active leaks. Expect the replacement of gaskets and seals during the mechanical reactivation process.
Pending Work: Global mechanical restoration, including overhaul/reconstitution of the engine and gearbox, braking system, suspension, fuel supply, and clutch.
3. INTERIOR
Cockpit Description:
Originality: The cabin is complete but does not retain the original upholstery. The beige synthetic leather upholstery and green carpet installed do not do justice to the model’s original elegance. The sport steering wheel and the dashboard gauges appear to be the factory originals.
General Condition: The seats show patina and signs of use. The headlining is in place. We recommend reupholstering and restoring the entire interior to the original Ghia specifications to restore the vehicle’s natural refinement.
Electronics and Instrumentation: Given the vehicle’s static condition, the electrical system, exterior lighting, radio, and gauges have not been tested; the buyer should plan for a full electrical overhaul.
4. DOCUMENTATION
Legal Information:
Documents Included: The vehicle comes with its original US title (Clean Title). All duties, import taxes, and customs fees in the European Union have been duly settled in Belgium by the previous owner.
Legalisation: As this is a restoration project, periodic inspection and the final registration process in the destination country must be carried out by the buyer after the restoration work is completed.
History & Privacy: There are no old restoration invoices or recent maintenance records available. In the photographs of the documents provided at the auction, all personal data and addresses have been properly safeguarded.
5. PICK-UP AND OTHER INFORMATION
Logistics:
Location: The vehicle is located in Portugal. It was purchased by us about 5 years ago with the intention of restoring it, but due to accumulating multiple projects at once, we decided to offer this specimen for sale.
Loading/Transport Arrangements: Transport is entirely the buyer’s responsibility and expense. However, the seller offers full cooperation with logistics. We are willing to arrange loading of the vehicle directly onto a TIR truck or a specialized trailer, having a forklift on site to load onto the truck at no additional cost to the buyer. The car is sold as-is and with no warranty.

Catawiki always aims to offer you the best possible buying experience. Our experts virtually review and select every vehicle in line with our submission guidelines and we require our sellers to provide the most accurate description of the vehicle. However, providing a fully detailed analysis of the vehicle is extremely difficult, and close to impossible. To guide you, we ask our sellers to provide information about the vehicle’s condition. Please consider that most vehicles for sale are classic vehicles and they often already have a whole life behind them, meaning that even a condition 1 or 2 vehicle might need maintenance to be ready for the road.

Cars are sold “as is”, meaning as described and in the condition they are in at the time of the sale and without any representation, warranty or assumption of liability of any kind as to the condition by Catawiki or by the seller. The condition of this item is the opinion of the seller and may differ from yours, your local garage, or the dealer’s opinion. This does not automatically mean the car does not conform to its description. Before bidding, please check your local legislation regarding vehicle registration. Neither the seller nor Catawiki is responsible for the registration of the vehicle in your country and will not accept a cancellation for your failure to register the vehicle. We also recommend that, if possible, you arrange a viewing with the seller before placing a bid.
