The Fiat X1/9 was built and manufactured by Fiat and Bertone from 1972-1989. They had a transverse engine and gear box mid-mounted in a rear-wheel drive configuration. They had retractable headlights, lightweight removable targa top with front and rear cargo areas. The 1980 version is fitted with a 1498 CC engine and was knows for there agility and handling. This particular X1/9 is somewhat of a project, however most is complete if you just want a driver. The mechanics of the car are great and a full engine re-build just happened not to long ago at over $3,000 plus odds and ends. This is the 5-speed manual variant. The car starts, runs, shifts and brakes and could be used as is. There are a few electrical demons that pose some attention as some cosmetics if you want to make it perfect. We are listing this as a drivable project with good tires and brakes and a cool amateur retro paint job. This is a nice entry level Italian car at this price with a lot already done. Receipts and service paperwork are available.
