Hello ,New to forum old to spiders...
It has been near 30 yrs. since last spider(bite).
Lost it in accident. Then wife and kids came along. etc. etc.
Currently driving and restoring a 68 850, but looking for a 124.Always.
Tony (Grittracing) sold me rims and tires this summer,and told me about this site.
Hope to be of some help in the future.

Thanks,

You had a CSA?? Would love to hear that story! Any pics?

It was titled as a 74, but I always believed it was a 73 csa...was back in 79 I bought it off my brother,who bought it out of PA in 78 after he sold his 850 spider... I drove it a couple years until a Highway Patrolman whipped out infront of me and slammed his brakes. I went under the back of his Crown Vic and his rear bumper was at the winsheild. blew out the front tires and it was toast. I saved and sold all I could from it but it It still hurts to think of . It had all the abarth tags and badges. It even had the yellow fog/racing lights on the front bumper..... Been trying to locate old pics but that was 30 plus ago,moved several times, been through the conflicts, hurricanes /tornados, and recently 2 floods in 5 yrs. up here... I , and my brother drove it like we stole it when we were teens. What I wouldn't give for that time back, (or the spider) .Looked for years to find another , not sure how many came to the U.S. .I saw 1 back in 81or 82 when I was in Germany in the service, almost identical. I have had chevy small blocks, and BB and a couple Mopars, but nothing compares to a tuned dohc 4 with twin webers with a good suspension haulin a$$ around some back roads. I will someday have another or atleast a "Tribute" to one. I bought a 68 850 to bring back "the bite" and to restore for 1 of the grandsons until I can find a CSA or CS1....got the fever now can't stop. I drive the 850 down the interstate at 4500-5000 r.p.m. and she sings that Italian song we all love. Some laugh, lots smile,and wave.... I just remember when I didn't have a care in the world .......

Neeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeat!

FYI, there were never imported. Any of them in the country is a private import.
I think they are worth about $30k now
