Italian drop-top sports cars are one of the purest ways to experience the thrills of driving in a raw, unfiltered manner. These cars are meant to dart about narrow streets and windy roads, using their light weight and small but eager engines to provide endless excitement. They are the antithesis of the large, hulking American automobile with its large V8 but lumbering progress. This is particularly so in the ’70s, when the Malaise Era meant that many of those V8s were strangled to under 200 horsepower but still tasked with moving 4,000-plus pound beasts. So, why not go for something that tips the scales at a little over 2,000 pounds (without driver)? Check out this reported 77,581-mile 1978 Fiat 124 Sport Spider that’s up for sale in Washington with a zesty four-cylinder engine and a manual gearbox. It’s your ideal weekend toy.
This 1978 Fiat 124 Sport Spider comes in a beautiful hue of purple, and showcases its gorgeous Italian looks no matter where you choose to drive and park it. The car’s lines are the work of renowned Italian design house Pininfarina, after all. Furthermore, the car is a smidge over 156 inches long and 63.5 inches wide, making it supremely easy to place on the road. The car has got a tan convertible top that is easy to raise and lower, making it a convenient driver even if the weather looks a bit dicey. This particular car also rides on a set of aftermarket alloy wheels that look surprisingly fetching. The tan passenger cabin of this 1978 Fiat 124 Sport Spider offers leather upholstery on its front individual seats and rear bench. That rear bench is really suitable for kids, as adults won’t be too comfortable there, but be glad that you’ve got a rear seat – many period sports cars simply didn’t have one. The dashboard sports wood trim, and there’s a push-button radio but nothing else to distract you.
This 1978 Fiat 124 Sport Spider comes with a 1.8-liter carbureted 4-cylinder engine under the hood, with electronic ignition, an electric fuel pump and an electric cooling fan. Power goes to the rear wheels through a synchronized 5-speed manual gearbox. Meanwhile, four wheel disc brakes ensure that stopping power is superb.

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 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.
