1963 Fiat 1200 Cabriolet - Barn Find for Restoration

Description for Fiat Other 1963

Increasingly rare - Dry Climate Survivor- In storage since 1979 A true survivor car whose storage prevented the typical rust issues. It's not cosmetically pretty in its current state. but is a great starting point with terrific restoration potential - solid body and undercarriage. Major comments are all there - nice body and drive-train. Most of the exterior strainless trim is included with the car but not perfect. Originally ivory white now metallic orange/red color (poor paint). Not running. original engine was separated from the car at some point and a replacement 1200 was procured. Status of engine was unknown so. it will need to be refreshed/rebuilt. As you can see from the photos there is some minor surface rust in some areas. but the body is in great shape. Take a look at the trunk. spare tire holder. battery box. foot wells and engine bay - they are super nice. The interior has a number of good parts. The seat frames are solid - will need new covers. dash is nice. door panels need new board backing. and instruments are nice. Mileage: 62. 71 Original Color: Originally Ivory/Cream White. Now Orange/Dk red (Poor paint) Engine: 1200 In tact. but in need of a refresh/rebuild Trans: 4 spd manual installed in car Condition: Very good body/unibody condition.
