The Story
This is my 1976 Fiat 124 Spider which was born out of tragedy. I had a 1977 Fiat spider in the same dark Red which met with an untimely demise... After receiving the bad news that repairing the car was not economical, i was on the hunt for a replacement when i received a message from a Vic club member who was about to advertise his Spider for sale. I made the trip down to Melbourne and did a deal on a car that had a good body, no rust and ok paint but was mechanically.... well ... stuffed. After about 2 months of swapping the drivetrain out as well as making a few(a lot) of improvements, i now have a much better car.

About the 1976 Fiat 124 Spider
The Fiat 124 Sport Spider is a rear-wheel-drive convertible sports car designed by Tom Tjaarda at Pininfarina. Produced from 1966 to 1985, it became one of the best-selling Italian sports cars of its era. The 1976 model features a twin-cam inline-four engine, five-speed manual gearbox, and four-wheel disc brakes — advanced specifications for an affordable roadster. In Australia, the 124 Spider was sold through Fiat dealers from the late 1960s through the 1970s. Its combination of open-air motoring, reliable mechanicals, and classic Italian styling has ensured a loyal following. Today these cars are eligible for historic vehicle registration in most Australian states and are well supported by a strong parts and enthusiast network.
