This 1972 Fiat 850 Sport Spider is said to have spent time in Washington State and Oregon before it was acquired by the seller in 2012. It is finished in orange over black vinyl upholstery and is powered by a rear-mounted 903cc inline-four paired with a four-speed manual transaxle. Equipment includes a black soft top, chrome bumpers, 13″ steel wheels, high-back bucket seats, and a Stebro exhaust system. Work in the past three years is said to have included retrimming the seats, overhauling the oil pump, and replacing the distributor, temperature sending unit, and rear shocks. This 850 Sport Spider is offered at no reserve with service records, spare and removed parts, a removable hard top, and a clean Pennsylvania title in the seller’s name.
The Bertone-designed body was refinished in its current shade of orange in 1997 according to the seller. Exterior details include a driver’s side mirror, a black soft top, and chrome bumpers. The rear bumper overrider has been removed and an earlier front bumper has been added. Close-up photos of the exterior can be seen in the gallery below. A removable hard top and a roll bar are included in the sale.
Silver-finished 13″ steel wheels wear Fiat-branded hubcaps and are wrapped in 175/70 Michelin tires. A spare tire is mounted in the trunk. The car is equipped with four-wheel independent suspension and front disc brakes. The rear shocks are said to have been replaced in 2023.
The cabin features high-back bucket seats trimmed in black vinyl along with a matching dashboard, door panels, and carpets. According to the seller, the right-side dash panel was replaced in 2020 and the seat foam and upholstery was replaced in 2021. Rust is noted in the trunk and the dash is cracked.
A two-spoke steering wheel frames Veglia Borletti instrumentation including a 120-mph speedometer, a tachometer, and gauges for coolant temperature, fuel level, and oil pressure. The five-digit odometer shows 46k miles, approximately 6k of which were added under current ownership. Total mileage is unknown.
The rear-mounted 903cc inline-four is fitted with an aftermarket air cleaner. Output was rated at 48 horsepower when new. The oil pump was overhauled and a rebuilt distributor was installed in 2021 according to the seller, who notes that the temperature sending unit was replaced the following year. An oil change was performed in 2023. The car occasionally stalls under heavy braking and the second-gear synchro is noted to be weak.
Power is sent to the rear wheels through a four-speed manual transaxle. The car is equipped with a Stebro exhaust system.
The vehicle is titled to the VIN 100GBS10113561, which is a combination of the type and VIN on the tag displayed above.
