AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Overview/Conditions
This Fiat 124 Spider 2000, from the year 1980, represents one of the most appreciated models in Pininfarina's production, renowned for its elegant design and for the robust Fiat twin-cam 2.0-liter engine with Bosch injection, one of the most durable and reliable Italian engines of the era.

The item in question spent part of its life in the United States and was reimported into Italy in 2020.

2023 service
Inspection never performed as it has not yet been registered.
Two owners in the USA and me in Italy.

Below is a complete and integrated description of the vehicle's condition.

Externals
The car is finished in metallic blue, a respray done under previous ownership. The color is not the original, which was originally a pastel blue.

The body retains its original sheet metal and components, in overall good condition for an unrestored model over 45 years old. The following are present:

scratches and small cracks;
bubbles and paint chips in some places;
a scratch on the rear bumper;
the black hood, also period, has numerous tears and needs to be replaced.

The car is equipped with:
black soft top,
steel tube bumpers (US-spec bumpers),
chrome luggage rack on the rear hood,
13" steel wheels with gray hubcaps and polished trim rings,
175/70 Ironman GR906 tires.

The bottom is intact with no traces of rust.

Interiors
The interior is finished in beige vinyl, with:
bucket seats,
wood-effect dashboard,
Pininfarina badge on the dashboard,
Grundig AM/FM/cassette car radio,
glove compartment with key,
manual windows and manual side mirrors.

There are traces of wear consistent with age:
stains on the seats and soft top,
door panels partially detached,
carpet raised along the tunnel.

The original Veglia instruments include:
speedometer (max 85 mph),
tachometer 8,000 rpm.

The five-digit odometer reads approximately 72,000 miles, several hundred of which have been driven by the current owner.
The crystals are original and free from significant marks.

Engine and Mechanics
The engine is the 2.0-litre twin-cam Fiat, equipped with Bosch injection.
the engine starts regularly,
turns freely without abnormal noises at idle,
the engine compartment is clean and free of leaks.

The transmission is a classic 5-speed manual gearbox and all gears shift smoothly.

The seller reports that:
when cold there is an extended crank,
the transmission sometimes skips fourth gear (pops out of 4th gear).

Recent maintenance reported:
timing belt replacement,
water pump replacement,
fuel pump replacement.
Engine Compartment and Trunk
engine compartment in order and free from leaks;
trunk with intact bottom;
presence of spare wheel and jack.

Accessories and Optional Extras
vintage chrome luggage rack,
Grundig AM/FM/cassette car radio,
original rims, cups and emblems.

Historical Evaluation and Collectible Interest

The Fiat 124 Spider, produced from 1967 to 1985, is today highly sought after for:

elegant and timeless Pininfarina line,
reliability of the 2.0 twin cam engine,
strong appeal on the US market.

The 2000 fuel-injected version, like this USA-spec example, is among the most sought-after.
