The 1971 Fiat 850 Sport Spider was renowned for being cheap and fun to drive. Affordable and good-looking, this Fiat coupe with a rear engine and rear wheel drive system paved its way as the Porsche for much less. The initial iteration is reported to have not met great success when it was first introduced in 1965, but Fiat saw potential. In 1968, their engineers turned things around. The initial 843 cc 4-cylinder engine was enlarged to 903 cc, producing 52 horsepower. While the 850 Sport Spider may not be the fastest sports car, it's known for its excellent handling. Its RR layout enables light and responsive steering, with the independent suspension benefitted road-holding thanks to its modest power. This particular model we have today shares the same story; having clocked a mere 8,055 miles, the current owner has taken good care of this tiny roadster with new parts and upholstery. It is up to date on servicing and is included with the original manual.
This 1971 Fiat 850 Sport Spider looks fresh out of the factory, with the owner reporting that the car has been repainted in the blue shade you see here. The enhancements for the model introduced in 1968 included a chrome bumper and relocated turn signals to make the design more appealing. The new interior of this 850 Sport Spider comes in gray and black, with a stunning white headliner when you put the hardtop on. You’ve got a new dash, new seats, new carpeting, and a brand-new wood steering wheel, presenting you with a pleasant experience inside the small and fun sporty cockpit.
In the rear of this 1971 Fiat 850 Sport Spider is a tiny yet potent 4-cylinder 903 cc Italian engine. Mated to a 4-speed manual transmission with rear-wheel drive, this little roadster was capable of producing 52 horses and 48 lb-ft of torque in the late ‘60s. This particular car has been kept in stellar condition and has been treated to a new alternator, a new OEM fuel pump, new speedometer cables, and a new battery. While the initial Fiat 850 Spider completed 0-60 mph in 18.2 seconds, this newer Sport model was reportedly capable of covering it in 15.6 seconds and on to a reported top speed of 91 mph.

European sports cars are very different from their American counterparts, especially those from Italy. Diminutive size, dinky engines, light weight, and a simple spirit are their key attributes. Take the Fiat 850 for example, a small rear-engined convertible sports car that could be had as a saloon, coupe, minivan, roadster (Spider) or van. Can you imagine that it weighed less than 1500lbs? What’s better, we’ve got one for sale in the shape of this 1969 Fiat 850 Spider that’s undergone a full restoration on its unibody construction. It’s the perfect anti-modern car for when you want to get away from large, hulking vehicles with their gas guzzling V8 engines and plethora of tech toys. Call it a digital detox if you will.

Here's a curio and something that's totally un-American! Check out this 1959 Autobianchi Bianchina, also known as the Fiat Bianchina, here. That's because this eye-catching, pint-sized automobile is based on the Fiat 500 of the time. The Fiat 500 was a tiny city car that redefined motoring in the crowded cities of Italy post-World War 2. These little cars, with their plucky air-cooled engines, helped the Italian public move with ease and quickly became cutesy curios across the world. This particular car bears just 20,000 original miles and comes to you with quite a few refurbishments and new parts. Why not buy it and make it your weekend de-stress tool? It's also a proper classic and will only appreciate in value over time. Finally, its simplicity means that keeping it in great nick won't cost you an arm and a leg. Let's learn more about this Kentucky-registered car.
One of the most popular nameplates to come from the Bowtie brand, the Chevrolet Delray debuted for the 1950 model year, as the automaker’s flagship full-size offering. It would run for thirty years, and eight generations. The nameplate wasn’t only seen in the United States, but saw prominence in Canada and Australia too. Of course, the most desirable of the Delrays are the earlier ones, particularly those from the fifties. That makes this 1958 Chevrolet Delray 2-Door Sedan an excellent classic car to experience what American motoring from was like.
Chevy released the third-generation (or C3) Corvette in 1968, and the public lost their minds. Here was a car that was basically 80% concept, its lines lifted straight from Larry Shinoda’s Mako Shark II of 1965. Interestingly, the C3 Corvette was released in Hot Wheels form a few weeks before its official release by GM – in a GM-authorized move with Mattel, owners of the Hot Wheels brand. That’s why getting your hands on this 1968 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible is a smart move since less than 29,000 units were made that year. This car comes to you from Florida with a fully rebuilt engine and is reportedly an example with all numbers matching.
Late 50s Chevys and mid 60s Cadillacs have always been popular candidates for restomod projects. However, not all of them are tastefully done like this fully restored 1965 Cadillac de Ville convertible restomod. 1965 was the first model year for the 3rd generation De Ville. It retained the same wheelbase as its predecessor, but the frame was a new perimeter frame (rather than the old X frame). The horizontal headlamp arrangement that had been standard since the late 50s was dropped in favor of a vertical arrangement, which also resulted in a wider grille. Gone were the softer lines of the old car, replaced by a sharper, more boxy design. The tailfins that had started shrinking since 1960 were now lower and slanted slightly downwards rather than slightly upwards. The new straight lines in its design make this car just as good looking with the top down as it does with the top up.
