Rare Italian beauty seeks loving owner

Description for Fiat Brava 1978

Rare Italian beauty we call Sofie is looking for a new home. She's a real lady! Purrs like a kitten (video available on request). She's had cosmetic work. ..a new paint job that matches her original color as seen in her trunk. NO RUST on this girl. A peek in her trunk tells you she's solid. Her seats have been reupholstered in a luxurious fabric that matches her original color. She has a new headliner as well. The only blemish on her interior is some cracking on the vinyl of the drivers side door panel.
Sofie is not a show car and far from perfect. (She could use new front struts.) She's a unique and beautiful classic that's ready to drive. In fact, we have a big valvehead, performancecams and pulleys that would take this kitten and turn her into a wild cat! If you "Buy it Now" these parts are yours. If you win her in the auction, we can negotiate an additional price for the performance parts. (BTW, these parts alone are worth $1,500.)
Sofie is a five speed that shifts smoothly. Her carburetor has recently been cleaned; clutch, timing belt and water pump replaced. She has new Yokohama tires, her wheels have beenprofessionally refinishedand she hasa new battery. The original rear drum brakes were upgraded to disc brakes that have been serviced all around so she stops when you ask her to. She has a full sized spare in the trunk. Her air conditioning can be recharged and works... but not quite enough for 117 degrees in Phoenix.:)
As for mileage...her odometer reads 69K miles. The State of Arizona wouldn't believe the low mileage on our girlso they made us put "unknown" when we registered her. However, if you look under the hood and hear how good she sounds, I think you'd agree with us that the odometer is most likely correct.
We really love this girl. She's a car you can jump in and go. We just have too many cars and she's spent too many long, lonely months in storage. We'd like to find her a home with someone who will love her and drive her.
Serious inquiries will receive additional photos and videos.
