Vehicle Description
1980 Fiat Spider 2000 Convertible This is one of the nicest
examples of this car you will find outside of a museum. Was
purchased from an elderly couple who owned it nearly 30 years and
was their 'date car'. He is a retired engineer and also an MSRA
member, so anything this car needed was addressed immediately, with
no expense spared. This includes, but is not limited to: This car
is the fuel injected, 5 speed model. The car has just had a new
horn installed, fresh Oil and Filter change Air filter this past
Spring, new brakes in June, new timing belt - tensioner pulley,
water pump, thermostat, Radiator hoses, valve cover gasket and fuel
injectors in May. New fuel pump in May '20. New tires (at 67,000
miles) on PanaSport wheels in August of '19. New ANSA exhaust in
May of '12. O2 Sensor, Distributor, Fuel Pressure Regulator and
Spark Plugs replaced at 63,800 miles. KYB Shocks installed at
60,700 miles. Paperwork going back to 1994 comes with the car, as
well as misc. manuals and literature, and a handful of other parts
including - but not limited to fuel injection, steering box and
more. The car looks to have been repainted once in period correct
and original silver. It's a very nice application, but is showing
its age. The car has a few scratches (pictured), and has one dent
that is in the very nose - under the FIAT badge that has not
affected the paint, is difficult to notice and is likely a
candidate for Paintless Dent Removal. The interior is gorgeous and
has had worn pieces replaced as needed. The stereo has a very nice
sound. All lights and gauges work - including the clock! It has a
roll-bar installed that does not interfere with the operation of
the convertible top. The top itself is in more than usable
condition with a slightly faded rear window. The underside of the
car is near spotless as it pertains to scale, rust or scrapes.
Doors, hood and trunk lids open and close easily and true. The car
starts instantly with the ANSA exhaust giving a very pleasant
burble to those standing outside the car while providing a quite
ride to occupants while going down the road. The car shifts
effortlessly into all gears - including reverse. The clutch pedal
return spring is newer and thus creaks on occasion. The car tracks
straight and true with the steering being direct and without play.
This is truly a wonderful cruising machine. Please Note The
