Description

1978 Fiat X1/9 - Completely running 4 speed 1300 engine White interior Brown trim Putting this out as a feeler. Much work done since I've owned it, including brakes, headlight motors, updated fuse box, repaired all corroded wiring, replaced missing or cracked parts, repaired dashboard, new audio components etc... I also removed the ugly ladder style bumpers and made my own. (last pic) I can keep it, or let someone else enjoy it. New tires just purchased. The previous owner coated everything...

Our Take:
  • Quirky Mid-Engine Marvel: The 1978 Fiat X1/9 is a gem from Italy's era of nimble sports cars. Designed by Bertone, this model boasts a mid-engine layout—a rarity for the time—which gives it a unique weight balance and driving experience. Carving through corners in this car feels like dancing on a twisty Italian road.
  • Retro Style and Custom Touches: The previous owner's creative liberties, like removing those polarizing ladder-style bumpers, add a personal flair. While purists might raise an eyebrow at the modified paint and trim, the hand-crafted touches make it a one-of-a-kind specimen. It’s like a rolling canvas, blending original charm with a bit of owner artistry.
  • Survivor with Updated Vital Signs: This X1/9 isn’t just about the looks; it's had substantial mechanical TLC. With new brakes, headlight motors, and an updated fuse box, it's clear the owner has cared for its core organs. Not to mention, the dashboard repairs and new audio bits hint at a focus on both aesthetics and driving comfort.
  • Aural and Visual Joy: Though its original paint job might have been lost to time, the car's soul remains vibrant. And let's not forget the sonorous pleasure of that 1300cc engine paired with a manual transmission—some say that's the language of true driving enthusiasts. This car isn't just a vehicle; it's an experience.
