I am looking at a couple of fiat 124 spiders to purchase. 1980 that need body work, interior work, new top and don't know for sure how it runs. $1550.00. Also 1982 that looks in good shape body interior and top. Also don't know how it runs. This one has a gold grill. $5000.00. Any idea on what the best value would be???? Also what do I need to watch out for if I want to purchase one or the other. Thanks, Eric

I worked for Fiat North america For 25 Years. They stopped importing in 1992 and now they have just come back with chrysler/ what you need to look for is the Timing belt could be old and maybe even broken and damaged engine bent valves and Busted pistons plus aven Block damaged. also electrical shorts very possible. also the top condition and water leaks very common.

I have a 1978 that runs great that you should buy instead. Its the 124, top is in good condition. Needs a little body work and interior love, mechanically road worthy and looks good. Contact me here https://www.facebook.com/aprilbrandon.benkoyl and you can see pics too.

1976 fiat spider with I believe a 1800 cc engine. when I start the car there isd a small amount of blue smoke from exhaust as car runs or a few minutes it gets worse. Oil fill cap is on right cam tower. with it running if I try to remove filler cap oil sprays out under high pressure such as oil pump press. Previous owner had cam towers off and used silicone to re-install. I started engine with right cam cover off and oil immediately filled tower around cam, after I shut it down oil took 30 min + - to drain. Could it be silicone in oil return or tower gasket installed improperly? Also the right cam cover with new gasket will not seal..... when pressure builds up oil seeps out from gasket and into spark plug wells?? tks for listening... 5 answers
