Our customer offers for sale this 1979 Fiat 124 Spider, a stylish cabriolet that captures the spirit of classic Italian motoring. Powered by a 2,000 cc 4-cylinder engine and equipped with a manual transmission. Originally delivered to the USA, the car has been in the Netherlands since 1994 and has been owned by the seller since 2007. It features its original interior, showing some typical wear for its age.
The exterior has some noted imperfections. The paintwork was redone 10-15 years ago, but it now has some rust spots, especially on the left front panel, as well as a small dent on the right front and cracking paint near the rear trunk lid. The body may require attention and possibly some panel replacements. Overall, this is a solid driver’s car that needs cosmetic repairs.
The Fiat 124 Spider, designed by the renowned Italian coachbuilder Pininfarina, was introduced in 1966 and became an instant classic for its elegant design and enjoyable driving dynamics. Powered by a 4-cylinder engine, the Spider gained popularity in the US market for offering a more affordable yet stylish alternative to British roadsters of the time. Its lightweight, rear-wheel-drive layout, combined with responsive handling, made it a favorite among enthusiasts who wanted a nimble sports car that was also practical for everyday use.
The 1979 model retains the original design philosophy while benefiting from several incremental updates over the years, including the enlarged 2.0L engine introduced in the late 1970s. The combination of Italian design flair and dependable mechanics ensured that the 124 Spider became one of the most beloved Fiat models, with many examples still on the road today.
