Fiat Spider 1980 - Ducati.ms

Selling the Spider for the next motorcycle. Excellent shape with a few cosmetic blemishes. Crack at the vent on the dash, paint chip at corner of the hood, some surface scratches where the hard top rest on the gasket (scratches only in the clear coat and can be buffed out). I've removed the carpet on the drivers side but I could have a new set made up for anyone interested.

Extensive suspension set up, I don't think you could find one set up better using the stock suspension pickup points (as required by SCCA for the street prepared class I ran in). Seats are lowered and the Momo is bolted directly to the floor pan. Roll bar, hard top, race wheels, and other parts. Very dependable car and always a blast to drive fast. That's probably the best reason I should sell it. I still have a CDL and want to keep it.

$8000 or Motorcycle Trades considered.

Good luck with the sale.

Here's the TR-4 in Topeka for the Solo Nationals (many years ago), and an old photo of the TR-3 from a car show in Richmond (probably also about as many years ago).

The Fiat was a beautiful car. A bit better quality would have been nice, but a lot of those cars were real fun.

Wish I still had my '70 Elan.

that's a nice Triumph!!!

Mad Dog, when compared to other cars of the era, and even now, the build quality is superb on a Fiat. Personally I've never understood the knock on them and I've had them off and on since 1977.

I'm waiting for the fiat Abarth euro edition, and I'll need some money too.

My new rules for trading since the 999s incident.

No drives offered for my car, only rides.
Sort of like the Missouri boot ride.

I'll provide a barf back and take any potential trader for a ride.
