The Fiat X1/9 is one of those quirky Italian sports cars that comes with a stylish Bertone-designed body, a lightweight persona and of course, two seats. It’s known for its nimble handling, fizzy naturally aspirated four-cylinder engine and of course, targa-topped nature. Today, we have a 1979 Fiat X1/9 Bertone for sale from Atascadero, California. This car packs a manual transmission and a re-upholstered interior too. Plus, it’s got less than 42,000 miles on the clock and was repainted three years ago. So, if you want a lively Italian classic that’s not a fussy supercar, this is your best choice.
Exterior and Interior
Wearing a Verde Mela paint job, this 1979 Fiat X1/9 Bertone will definitely turn heads as it spears past like a neon green streak. The car comes with a black removable targa top for a nice open-air driving experience, and features a lovely set of silver wheels with the iconic Abarth scorpion on the center caps. These wheels are just 13-inches, highlighting how compact the entire car is, and they’re shod with Hercules tires. Oh, and before we move on to the interior, it’s got pop-up headlamps! Who doesn’t love pop-up headlamps? The tan interior of this 1979 Fiat X1/9 Bertone features two well-bolstered sports seats that are reportedly replaced units. You’ve got a nice and comprehensive gauge cluster with speedometer, rev counter, fuel gauge, coolant temperature and battery voltage. The center console contains a Blaupunkt radio with cassette tape player, and the heater controls. There’s also a digital clock. Yes, you’ve got the basics and some nice comfort features, but nothing too much. The windows are wind-up, the mirrors are manually adjusted, and the transmission is gloriously, old-school manual with a metal gear knob.
Engine
The engine of this 1979 Fiat X1/9 Bertone lives directly behind the passenger cabin, in a rear-mid layout. It’s a 1.5-liter naturally aspirated unit with a single Weber carburetor. It’s paired with a 5-speed manual transmission and drives the rear axle. You’ve also got 4-wheel disc brakes and we’re informed that the clutch has been replaced too. So, this pint-sized sports car is ready to show you a good time!
