Vehicle Description
Here's a cool convertible that most people will think is an
illusion. This highly original 1980 Fiat 2000 Spider has traveled
less than 26,500 miles in its lifetime. Yep, hard to believe but
it's true. This is a loved Fiat that can be yours for a value
price.
This is like a mini Ferrari. After all, the Pininfarina design
house is known for exotics, and this car is included in that
illustrious history. And the rich red paint that was applied in
Italy four decades ago still has a deep luster today. The reason
why it can survive in this quality condition is good care and being
treated as a special machine - averaging less than 700 miles
annually. The twin-bulge hood lines up beautifully; the doors close
with confidence; and the tan top fits snugly. This has true
European elegance.
The Fiat 124 series already had a vintage pedigree in the '80s, so
sliding behind the wheel in this time capsule really feels like
riding through the Italian Alps in the '60s. The interior is
original, and low mileage with great respect once again deliver a
terrific-looking package. In true Italian style, the wood finish on
the dash, center console, and gearshift perfectly complements the
smooth tan leather on the seats. That's the proper Ferraro
three-spoke sports steering wheel, and beyond that, the Veglia
instruments show crisp markings with elegant simplicity. The back
seat is only for occasional use, but it does give a nice place to
set the optional boot cover. This one is thoroughly original, right
down to the AM/FM radio, map light, and clock - all working. And
the heat/defrost blows hot enough to keep the top down well into
the fall.
The 2.0-liter fuel-injected motor is this car's factory original
equipment. The dual overhead camshaft makes it one of those
wonderful motors on which the Italians have built their passionate
reputation. It has a low-end power surge that just begs to be
revved, and you're rewarded for your aggression by a sweet exhaust
note. There is the right amount of originality and proper
maintenance to keep this looking fresh and running strong. But, it
wasn't just the engine that made these Fiat Spiders great. These
are tight handling cars with well-balanced suspensions that love
backroads. They even kept up with some of the most modern features
by coming with a five-speed manual transmission and four-wheel disc
brakes.
Complete with owner's manual, this is a terrific low-mileage
classic. Of course, we won't blame you if the mileage average goes
up significantly in the first few weeks of ownership. These Spiders
are irresistible, so hurry up and get this uniquely untouched
example before someone else grabs this deal. Call today!!!
