$11,000 1967 Fiat 850 Spider Project Car
$11,000 1967 Fiat 850 Spider Project Car-August 2024

For today's you'll need to start dressing right, because we've got an almost-there, '67 for 11 grand, and they don't afford you much left-side legroom.

Last time, 67% of you arm chair Andrettis thought the was Nice Price worthy. Today, we've got a petite, topless-loving italian to test your automotive pricing BS meters. It's a '67 Fiat 850 Spider with a Buy-It-Now price of 11,000. That's dollars, not lira.

Do you like the look of vintage Can-Am cars? Got 40 grand to drop so you can fulfill your track…

That's a lot of chianti and pizza for a Fiat with an engine smaller than most Harleys. But these are cars that engender a lot of love from their owners, and the current title holder does seem to have a soft spot in his head heart for the cars. That's not to say he's not taking a hardline on the price. The seller threatens to part it out if he doesn't get his price - selling it off piece by piece - much as a mobster might do seeking ransom for a captured adversary.

The description of this red, rear-engine roadster claims many a new part, and not only a bored 965cc engine, but twin solex 40mm side draughts. That may seem like a lot of carburetor for such a little engine, but those velocity stacks sure look nice.

Now, you should note that this 850 is not a runner- it is a Fiat after all. The seller says it's 85% done, and has 99% of the parts necessary for completion, including $8,000 in NOS parts on or about the car. So keep that in mind as you judge it.

So what will it be with this espresso-sized two seater? Is $11,000 a nice price for this Italian-red roadster, or is the seller 85% of the way to crack pipe, with 99% chance he's not going to get that price for it?

You decide!

Could This 1983 Toyota Celica Supra Be Worth $5,500?
Toyota’s given up on both the Celica and Supra these days. The used market means you can still have them, and in fact today’s contender is both! Let’s see if its two-models-for-one-price makes it the ultimate single-car package-deal. I used to like to read my kids this book—If You Give...

The 2017 Jaguar XE Is Good But Definitely Not The Best
“You’re going to love it, it’s pretty much an with four doors,” a Jaguar rep told me on the eve of my drive in the all-new . I think he oversold it a bit. The XE is a competent and sophisticated sporty-ish sedan with some of the best technology in...

The Jaguar F-Type SVR Is A 575 Horsepower Screaming Track Day Lunatic
Jaguar wants you to think it just loves to be bad. It even on that notion. So really, the biggest surprise about the new is not its bewildering aggression, or its newly sharpened handling. The real shock is that it took Jaguar Land Rover Special Vehicle Operations two years to...

Do Not Trust Dealers That Guarantee A Minimum Price For Your Trade
You’ve heard the commercials: “We will give you a minimum of $500 for your trade no matter the condition!” This is usually just a shell game to get you to pay more for the car you are buying, and dealers that advertise this way should probably be avoided. According to...
