1969 Spider - Buy It Now $55,000

[spiderrey]

Thanks, but I have more then I can handle with the cars I have now. I was just thinking someone could make that into a very nice car.

i thought the guy that offered me 20k was out of his mind and i was even worse for saying no but know im hoping that one does sell. I will up the price to 30k and i just might sell

dood... if somebody legitimately offered you $20k for your spider, and you turned it down... you should have your head examined.

I have my car just how I want it. And love driving it. Every day. if I was to sell how long would it take for me to get another to this point and at what cost. Another $10.000 and maybe 2 more years ? That's not worth $20,000 to me.

Spiderrey,
Here are a couple of pics the day my car arrived. The seatbelts were in the car in April '69 when the car was bought new according to the owner. Not sure if they were dealer installed or from the factory. You can also see the horns still had some blue paint. You have probably also found that the Italians, as well as the British pull parts from whatever bin is closest when these cars are being built. I do have to admit that the restoration on that car is impressive and I'm sure he has every penny in it that he's asking, in labor at least.

You are right about how Fiat used whatever was at hand. Just saying what Ive come across. Love those early cars.

yeah, I hear ya.
I guess I've never been there.... where I'm happy with the car just how it is. Otherwise, I'd likely feel the same way.

i have offered to build him one and even started looking for a donor car for the project.

So you see, Original Poster, that 55,000 may be a tad high.

Thats cool - thanks for posting!

I have the same car. It too had a complete nut and bolt restoration, except I'm not so anal in regards to having it original and stock. I built mine to enjoy not to put on a trailer.

That looks like a neat (I'm sure arguably) upgrade. Is it a 2L FI or is the engine an upgraded smaller displacement? Looks nice and tidy.
