car has undergone at least one repaint. There are minor blemishes
on the nose and on the drivers side door trim. The cars bodywork is
straight and solid, the engine bay is in very good order, the cars
body-colored bumpers blend well with the body lines and the cargo
area in clean and looks good. This car rolls on mixed radials, size
205/50R15 and 205/60R16 in back. Each tire is mounted on styled
alloy wheels. The wheels are in overall very good order with some
blemishes while the tires are in good, original condition.

836A3) with aftermarket intake and exhaust manifolds. Backing this
motor is a five-speed manual transmission. Driver convenience
features include power steering, power windows and power mirrors,
rear window defrosters, rear window wiper and washer and a manually

independent suspension all round: at the front MacPherson struts
and lower wishbones anchored to an auxiliary crossbeam, offset coil
springs and anti-roll bar; at the rear, trailing arms mounted on an
auxiliary subframe, coil springs and an anti-roll bar.
Inside, the black leather front buckets and rear seat are in
overall great shape, as is the matching carpet and headliner. A
three-spoke, leather steering wheel is in good order while the
instrument panel and center console feature body-colored metal
trim, unusual then and now. The dash and inner door panel are in
very good order, as is the center console and shift lever. The
interior is completed by a Pioneer AM/FM stereo with CD player.
Fiat Coup, internally designated as the Type 175, was a two-door,
four-seat coup manufactured and marketed by Fiat between 1993 and
2000 across a single generation. The Coup was introduced at Bologna
Motor Show in December 1993 and is noted for its distinctive,
angular exterior design by Chris Bangle later noted for his work at
BMW at Centro Stile Fiat. Its interior was designed by
Pininfarina.
On its launch in January 1994, the Coup was available with a
four-cylinder, 2.0 L 16V engine, in both turbo (190 PS) and
normally aspirated (139 PS) versions. Both engines were later
versions of Fiat's twin-cam design and inherited from the Lancia
Delta Integrale, winner of the World Rally Championship a record
six times. Along with the new engines Fiat also made some minor
design changes including the front grill, steering wheel, the door
panel now included leather, the interior center console was
redesigned and the digital clock was replaced with an analog
one.
This Fiat would surely be a head-turner at any cruise night and car
show in North America, compared to many examples of domestically
made classics. If you like your collection eclectic and unique,
this model would fill the bill. Stop by MotoeXotica Classic Cars
