Born from the pen of Tom Tjaarda at Pininfarina, the Fiat 124 Spider debuted at the 1966 Turin Motor Show, quickly becoming an accessible icon of Italian open-top motoring. Unlike many of its contemporaries, the 124 Spider featured a sophisticated Lampredi-designed DOHC engine from its inception, a powerplant more commonly found in high-performance sedans and sports cars. Its robust chassis, four-wheel disc brakes, and spirited handling made it a darling of enthusiasts and a common sight on winding roads across the globe. By 1979, the model had evolved into the "Spider 2000," reflecting its larger 2.0-liter engine, offering more torque and refined cruising capability as it continued its impressive production run, which would eventually see it transition from Fiat to a Pininfarina-badged car in its final years. This 1979 Fiat 124 Spider 2000 carries on that legacy, presenting a solid foundation for its next owner. With 115,500 miles on the odometer, its 2.0-liter DOHC engine is paired with a 5-speed manual transmission, inviting an engaging driving experience. Riding on distinctive FPS Lancia wheels, this example is noted for its lack of corrosion issues and its overall good structural integrity. While the fabric soft top is due for replacement, it remains usable, and the car comes with a desirable Snugtop hardtop for all-weather enjoyment. The interior, though showing some sun-bleaching on the seats, retains soft and pliable upholstery, and a chrome luggage rack adorns the trunk lid, ready for weekend getaways. This is an opportunity to acquire a robust example of a classic Italian roadster, ready for continued enjoyment and personalization.
