For Sale: 1972 Fiat 124 in Hilton, New York

This 1972 Fiat 124 Sport Coupe is said to have been purchased new by the son of a Detroit, Michigan, Fiat dealer who remained its steward for 31 years with service handled by Michigan Fiat specialist Pietro Arena. The car was purchased in 2003 by Arena, who subsequently repainted it before selling it in 2006 to a New York City owner with whom it remained for the next 12 years. It was then purchased in 2018 by its last owner, who undertook a mechanical refresh that included overhauls of the 1.6-liter DOHC inline-four, twin Weber IDF carburetors, and five-speed manual transmission as well as work on the brake, suspension, and exhaust systems. Finished in red, the car features servo-assisted four-wheel disc brakes, independent front suspension, 15" Cromodora-style wheels, black vinyl interior upholstery, and a Nardi wood-rimmed steering wheel. This BC type 124 Sport Coupe won a Best in Class award for the Gathering of the Marques Fiat Club of America class at the 2024 Limerock Historic Festival Sunday in the Park car show and it comes with repair and owner's manuals, invoices, and a hand-written repair log from current ownership. The 1.6-liter DOHC inline-four was overhauled by Fun Imported Auto & Toys in Vernon, Connecticut, in 2019. Work involved boring and honing of the cylinders, cylinder head reconditioning and port work, reconditioning of the connecting rods, polishing of the crankshaft, and installation of .6mm-overbore pistons, upsized valves, and a replacement oil pump, bearings, and exhaust valves guides. The Weber IDF carburetors were also rebuilt at that time and breath through a European-specification "turtleback" air cleaner. Additional work included repainting of the engine bay, replacement of the hood lining with a reproduction zig-zag-pattern pad, the installation of re-ground camshafts, and replacement of the timing belt. The five-speed manual synchromesh transmission was also overhauled by Fun Import Auto & Toys. The flywheel was resurfaced, and the clutch assembly, pilot bearing, U-joints, center driveshaft carrier and bearing, rear differential seal, and pinion and carrier bearings were replaced. The suspension system was refreshed with replacement bushings, and a replacement Abarth exhaust system was installed. This is a great car and a fine example of the FIAT nameplate.
