VIN: ZFAAS00BXB8181457. First entry 09/2022: Vehicle Title: Clean. Transmission manual. Mileage: 146,686. This 1981 Fiat 2000 Spider is a rust-free California car that has benefitted from a full restoration that was just completed in the Spring of 2022. This Fiat 2000 was purchased new at Massagli Motors in Daly City, CA by John Ray Leland of San Mateo, CA on April 30, 1982. It remained in Northern California until being acquired by its present owner, Michael OConnell in Washington. Mr. OConnell set out to surprise his wife with the gift of this Fiat after having purchased and restored several cars for himself over the years. Basically, he felt a little guilty and wanted to give her something in return! Mr. OConnell set out on a complete restoration of the Fiat, taking the car down to its bare unibody. Between his investment and the investment of its prior, 20-year California owner, this Fiat is now fully restored and in very nice condition throughout. The livery is now finished in its Rosso Cherry (Paint Code 136F) with the upgraded Robbins tan canvas convertible top. Overall, this Spider is in very nice to excellent condition and would be welcomed at any local or regional show. The interior was completely removed during the restoration. The floorpans were all checked for rust, but this example being from California had no rust nor any prior accidents. Everything was stripped and coated and Dynamat installed for insulation from heat and noise. The interior is two-toned in Saddle Tan and Medium Beige vinyl. The look is very elegant and works well with the ample wood trim on the dashboard and the Ferrero steering wheel. The Veglia Borletti instrumentation works well, and the interior overall also looks very good to excellent throughout. The engine compartment is in show condition due to the thoroughness of the restoration. The 2-liter engine and 5-speed transmission were rebuilt by the prior owner and the differential and suspension were rebuilt during the restoration. It is surprisingly tight and free of rattles. For sale: US $22,800.00. Update 02/2023: New owner. Former Arizona car. Found at facebook in 2023.
