Hello and Welcome! How long have you owned the car? Have you met any other Spider owners nearby?

One of our local club members has a 126p. Cool car.

Hi. I've got may 124 less than month. But car is in Europe few years. It' s new project. 126p was popular in Poland. Was produced since 1973/4 till 2000. We made more than 3 milions of 126p. I have another strange FIAT for U.S market - 125p (mix of italian 125 and old 1300/1500).







Greatings.

Nice!

That 125p is a very unique car. I've never seen one before. In addition to the 126p, our local club has this beautiful 124 sedan (in the same color!)



This car won the "People's Choice" award at this show recently. Quite an achievement, considering the size and depth of the show. Over 500 vintage cars. Here are a few other club Fiats. Note the red Zagato on the left.



Like several others here in the USA, I am looking for a 2-door 131, if you know of one for sale out you way.

125p was very popular in Poland. Now, 125p is the most poplular "youngtimer" car in Poland. Was produced since 1967/8 to 1991. Had one facelifting in 1975. God condition - 1500$, poor - 300$, first years of producition in prefect condition 4500$. Fiat 131 2d is very rear in Poland. Italy and Germany have biger market.

For example in present times, we had more U.S. Fiat 124spider in Poland than EU Fiat 124 Spider ( 60' and 70' yp.).

This 124 on your photo looks strange for me. Its diferent than european 124 or 124 specjal, looks like 124/125 from Agrentina

Colour on my 125p: L76 (FSO paint) cald "Green peace"

That is not surprising, since the vast majority of Spiders were originally shipped to the USA. Many of the guys in our D.C. area club were in military or diplomatic service, and shipped their cars to Europe.

AFAIK, this is the 124 Special sold here in the '70s. A primitive automatic transmission was a popular factory option. I never owned one, only a 128 and 131.

We called it "goat vomit green" regardless of the Fiat code
