new to this forum. Caught onto the classic Fiat a few years ago with a 1970 Spider, then purchased 2 more. One has a performance rebuilt motor with oversized pistons. Paint is to bare metal and ready to finish this car next. Also found a great Pinna Azzura. Then someone told a guy who had a 1970 500L in a barn sent over while in the service. It’s sat in there for years and he could never locate anyone associated with the car . This was prior to the new car even being announced, so I didn’t know anything about this 2 cyl car. But rust free and we had it running driving in two hours . So I paid him $500 and it’s being painted this weekend. We stripped it to bare metal pulled all the rubber . The paint was beginning to bubble a little around the bottom . Then a few months ago found a super clean x/19 running Driving. Seats carpet all original and clean . Didn’t pay much . Maybe $800 . Found a man who was selling an X . He was a chef in Nashville Who love the car and this was his first attempt at restoring anything . He had purchased by thousand dollars worth of new performance parts , then realized he could not complete the car . The body was so far gone, i’m taking his wheels in performance parts and putting them on my X. Maybe part out what I can of his car.
I’m also into other cars so my plan is to sell two of the spiders and Azurra , and the 500 L . Probably have them all ready to go over the winter ready for a spring sale . A few other cars have priority right now but I cannot wait to get into the X with these new parts . It’s a orange gold paint color and the new wheels are black abarth that I’ve not found anywhere yet. All the receipts came with the wheels and parts of have to sort through them.
