Piccolo Truck – 1976 Fiat 128 Pickup

October 16, 2014

So if the Ford Squire from the other day is just too confining, a Subaru BRAT has too many seats in the bed, and a VW pickup is just too big, there’s really not much out there for you. Fortunately, you’re not the only one who felt that way, and that’s why one man, no, one visionary grabbed a Sawzall, did some surgery on a 128 wagon, and presto! Those of you complaining about the lack of available small pickups should be thanking this person. Check out this 1976 Fiat 128 Pickup for sale for $1800 in Washougal, WA.

Dwindling Species – 1974 Fiat 124 Spider

September 16, 2014

These pages have previously espoused the perspective that cheap Alfa and Fiat spiders are disappearing due to attrition, that they’re a sportscar bargain hidden in plain view, and more. But they’re also part of another disappearing breed – the affordable classic sports car. As cars from the 1970s move solidly into the domain of the collector, so they get restored, prices go up, and the cheap older car category loses carburetors, wing windows, and other bits that make vintage motoring what it is. Not that there’s anything wrong with the 1980s BMWs, Mercedes, and Renaults that have moved into their place, but they lack a certain purity and rawness. Check out this 1974 Fiat 124 Spider for sale for $1000 in Carlsbad, CA.

Sabrinas – 1974 Fiat 124 Spider

July 14, 2014

It’s been said before, but for reasons that are becoming less and less valid as time goes by and these are no longer just used cars, the latest Italian spiders (forgetting the most depreciated F-elephants in the room) are still under-appreciated classics. Parts are easy to get locally or online, their performance is still competitive among modern cars, and their styling is iconic and critically acclaimed. Thanks to the rising tide in collector car values, or perhaps some increase in recognition, their obscurity can’t last forever. If you’ve ever thought of picking up one of these budget-friendly, shade-tree-friendly classics, you might want to act soon – what better reason to take a look at this 1974 Fiat 124 spider for sale for $2950 in Portland, OR?
