Just in... 1973 124 Spider

[hayesbd]

Hello!

After a 20 year hiatus, I once again own a Fiat! This is my fifth one; prior to this, I have owned a 1973 124 Special (my Dad's), a 1974 124 Special TC, a 1970 850 Racer, and a 1961 600D. While no creampuff, it's in reasonably good condition (especially for Ohio) and seems to be mostly original. Here's a shot:



Looking forward to learning from an obviously great bunch.

Regards,
Brian

Very nice, I like the original wheel and hub cap set up, they look sweet with the early chrome bumpers

Thanks. A quick question...

I used to have the large blue paperback official shop manual and found it invaluable. Are there any pdf sources for that or do I have to go ahead and buy one when I can find a good deal on it?

that you should have kept, they are the best, I remember seeing somebody do reproduction prints of them but can't recall who it was, as for pdf might have to see of google can help?
Alway worth keeping an eye out for an original Fiat one.

Was this it?

Yes, that's it. I saw that site and another somewhere for $50. I guess I'll just have to bite the bullet.

Thanks,

Nice looking spider. I'd like to have an early one too but am glad I'm allowed to have the one I do.
Where in Ohio are you?
