MOST beautiful X1/9

[DSpieg]

My own X looks plenty good to me, just after a surprisingly decent repaint by the local old-car-friendly MAACO.

So many lovely versions. All the paint jobs in these photos are so pristine - how many are original? I’ve always heard X’s are such rust-buckets.

I just keep coming back to this FORZA version. Though I'm not sure how those wheels don't rub.

@BrettM - I love those wheels!!!!!

Nice and clean

Great thread! Of the cars that aren't mine, there's something about this one that just nails it. The color scheme, the wheels. It just looks fantastic.

Then of course there's mine.

The nice thing about my X is the very trendy matt finish is in all it's glory between some panels with original but faded red paint and others with matching Rustoleum faded paint.

Most any... probably EVERY Dallara bodied X1/9 is my favorite, this one is done exceptionally well (IMHO) and I just LOVE those wheels!

What are those wheels? That car is awesome! Usually, the Dallara's have that huge ridiculous wing on the back... I think that ducktail is a much better complement

All these X1/9’s look so clean, and let the design of the car show at its best. Mine is a work in progress.

I'm going to go with the green "bull dog" look with the snorkel for attitude and the black one above it when trying to be classy.

Give me attitude over class any day ;-)

Some truly beautiful cars here guys!
it’s been a long time since I posted, but I’ve recently dragged my 20 valve 4age engined car out of a five year hibernation and am currently enjoying having her back on the road.View attachment 36640View attachment 36641View attachment 36642View attachment 36643View attachment 36644View attachment 36645View attachment 36646View attachment 36647

That car is magnificent!

Really magnificent X19s. I drove my first one when I was 12 years old. My friend Mark Oliverio owned a 78 which had 4 tip Monza exhaust, Koni dampers, 206/60-13 on the rear and 185/60-13 on the front. Over time he upgraded it to a PBS 1660 stroker kit and custom paint with '74 bumpers. Sadly I don't have a picture of the car. My 1981 X19 was my first autocross car when I went to LeTourneau University and raced in the Red River Region of SCCA. I still have the car. I am restoring it right now. Current daily driver is a low mileage 2015 Abarth 500. All that said, I wanted to add to the great discussion. Jim Susko had sent me a few pictures of his DSP X19 back in 2014. Steve mentioned Jim and his pics include an early version of his car. So worthy of inclusion. Very inspirational.

Those wheels are Australian made Rebels, looks like 13x7 front, 13x8 rear. I have 13x7 on the rear of my track X.

this one fromBaT a few years ago for ~$21k (one hell of a deal) does it for me:

and yes I'm biased but my '82 with period mods like Momo steering wheel and Ansa exhaust is no slouch

That is one of @tigeravg creations. It looks really really nice. I almost bid on it when it was on BAT, but I was able to restrain myself and save my money to spend on a new engine for my 85.
