1972 Fiat 850

Vehicle Description

This 1972 Fiat 850 Sport Spider is finished in red with a tan soft-top and a tan interior. Power comes from a rear-mounted 903cc inline-four mated to a 4-speed manual transaxle. Service completed in September 2018 included a rebuilt cylinder head, new exhaust header and muffler, and a tune-up. The body was painted green before undergoing a color change to the current red under previous ownership. Evidence of green paint can be seen in the engine bay and other areas, and overspray can be seen in the door jambs and on the underside of the car. Rust is noted in the front trunk and is shown in the photo gallery. Photos also show the tan soft-top both raised and stowed. 13″ wheels wear chrome Fiat-branded hubcaps. The interior is finished in tan with two-tone beige cloth and tan vinyl seats. Veglia gauges include a 5-digit odometer indicating 64k miles. The 903cc inline-four was rated at 48 horsepower when new and is linked to the rear wheels via a 4-speed manual transaxle.
