Get one with as little rust as possible!
What is a emb mech?

Always nice to have a new member from Washington! There are a lot of events in the area!

Thanks for the warm welcome. Still looking for the right Spider.

I trust you have looked at CL Seattle. Prices all over the map including one with around 29,000 miles on the od.

There is a 70 in CL that I would like, it is old enough to make into a track car for the vintage races! It is in index .....I am just to deep into my custom Spider that I don't have the time...or more important the money for another project!

[Grumpyembmech]

Have looked on CL; there is one in Vancouver, Washington I have emailed on several times but no response, a 1980. Would like to find one around Portland since it would be local to me. http://portland.craigslist.org/clk/cto/4666110351.html

Welcome!, theres a powder blue 74 on Portland CL that Ive found intriguing. low miles, maybe one owner, the ad says garage kept. Could be a very clean example if that is all true.

Best of luck in your search. Once you find one maybe you can join me and a few other Fiat locals at PIR next year for their Weds evening cruise in "beaches" event.
