Chassis no. 100GBS10100655. Red over black. 843/46hp, 4-speed, hub caps, narrow whitewalls, older aftermarket stereo. Represented with a white hardtop.

Evaluation: Dull and badly pitted front bumper. Cheap respray with orange peel in spots. Cracked taillight lenses, both of them. Light restoration work underneath and a reasonably clean engine bay. Decent upholstery but the steering wheel rim is cracked, plus the woodgrain dash is cracking and missing a couple of screws. A charming little convertible, but nothing to be too proud of.

Bottom Line: Not fast but lots of fun and wearing a handsome Bertone body, this Fiat is a lot of car for $6600. It’s the kind of thing you could drive around, wrench on and spiff up a bit, and then sell on without losing any money. It’s a low risk, high reward little sports car and one of the few clear bargains at this auction.
