1985 Fiat 124 Spider

Up for sale is my 1985.5 Pininfarina Spider. I love this car but reality has set in and it's time to pass it on as I never seem to have the time to drive it or fully restore it. If you're familiar with the 85.5 model they are very rare with only 186 cars built and imported in to the U.S. This one is a true 85.5 with all the unique features such as wheels, extendable glovebox light, storage baskets in the rear,coin tray,120MPH speedo,dead pedal, lights on the door edge, and most importantly the rack & pinion steering used only on this model. I'm probably missing something here but basically this is a highly updated model from the regular '85's. The car is an interesting coppery/burgundy color which is hard to see in the photos. It has lived in Wilmington NC it's whole life. and was brought over from Italy by a service member who sold it to his 69 yo neighbor in 1990. He then traded it in to a dealer in about 2005 and was bought there by the previous owner, who sold it to me in 2009. I purchased the car with a little over 29K miles, it now has a bit over 34K mile on it. The car comes with the original owners manual, some receipts, & tool kit. I've taken good care of this car with regular oil changes and repairs when needed. Please contact me with any questions and detailed descriptions. This is a very low mileage, rare car that can be enjoyed as is or brought up to the next level.
