Concorso Italiano Winner!

Post by artrite »

Hello Everybody,
I'm not usually one to toot my own air horns, but I wanted to share that my 1969 124 Spider won for best Fiat at the Concorso Italiano in Monterey this past weekend. I may have won Best In Show if it weren't for a gorgeous Maserati Mexico that certainly deserved it:) I want to thank everyone on here who has helped me with advice, parts and enthusiasm. Hit the link below to see pics from the show:

I saw Art's 69 Spider up close and in person at the Concorso; it is amazing. The trophy is well-deserved and the car was my personal favorite at the Concorso. Thanks for providing the photos, Art. Congratulations! Regards, Dale in AZ.

Congratulations, Art! I can't view the pictures until I get home tonight (firewall here at work), but I do recall how great your car looked last November at the BFI show, so I'm sure it's spectacular. We'll have to get you out to one of the So Cal drives -- stay tuned to find out when the next one comes around.

Hey Art,
That is a beautiful Spider. Can you give us some info on the car? How long you had it and what kind of resto it took to get it in that kind of shape. Anything else of interest.
Congratulations
