1984 Fiat Pininfarina Spider rare only 50K miles light restoration mint warranty

Description

Overview

Roadster Salon is the largest restorer of Italian Spiders in North America, and likely the world. Currently we have over 100 chassis in stock. Select one for us to build to your exact specifications, or choose one of our completed cars. As seen on Ebay and on our website, we offer different levels of trim and price points, intended to appeal to a wide range of customer expectations. Lead times for full builds are 6-9 months. However, the 1984 Pininfarina featured in this ad is ready for near immediate delivery.

This particular spider is one of the last few thousand ever produced. Only the 84-85 versions have the sought after "rectangle Pininfarina-Ferrari badge" on the hood. It features very low original miles, fresh leather interior, five-speed and factory A/C. It has been lightly refreshed, rust free, and features our exclusive warranty. Since it is an "Originale" level restoration, this spider is also affordably priced and a terrific value--likely to satisfy even the most descriminating buyers.

Cosmetic Impressions

The exterior paint was refinished several years ago, and still looks excellent. No door dings, dents or significant scratches. Body lines are tight. Paint work was a high-end effort, as the car was fully disassembled and media blasted prior to paint being applied. Proper final result with plus time spent on wet sand and buffing process, which is critical on a black car. Well done.

The interior has been recently freshened by our staff. Leather surfaces and carpets have been re-done. New convertible top is included, in choice of cloth or vinyl per request. Wood Luisi wheel is a nice touch. Car has stereo upgrade. Grade A.

Mechanical and Driving Impressions

The key with all our "Originale" spider versions is to make them as reliable as possible. While budgetary constraints prevent us from doing a full tear down and rebuild--care is taken to assure the engine, transmission, braking and suspension are all functioning properly. Timing belt and any leaking gaskets or seals are always addressed prior to shipment.

This lovely spider runs like you would expect a near original, well sorted version to drive. It starts without complaint, accelerates well and stops with conviction. Car feels tight, and has no rough edges. Overall fit and finish is quite good--much better than you might envision from a 30+ year old vintage convertible. Very solid.

Market Price

Roadster Salon currently has three "Originale" level spiders offered on Ebay, complementing several Lusso S2 models also available.

The 43K mile red/tan 1982 is offered at $25k. This price is more a reflection of the lesser value of the 1982 Fiat Spider versus the more rare Pininfarina Imports than a commentary on its condition. Our ultra-low mile black/tan 1983 is offered at $30K. We have priced this prized 84 at $27,995 reflecting its slightly higher miles versus the 83.

All of these cars are available for near immediate delivery, and less than half the price of a comparable Lusso S2.
