WTB: Fiat 130 Coupe

Anybody know of any for sale, looking for 100% original complete. Will be doing a ground up restoration so actual condition is irrelevant, but must be complete as parts for these cars are about as rare as it gets.

US based 1st choice, but will be more than happy to purchase from Europe.

Auto or 5 speed is fine and LHD or RHD is ok too.

This will be a long term project that will involve my 2 boys 6 & under and myself and will be a learning project for them.

Ive restored a few cars so i'm u p for a new challenge.

Whats out there!?

 

One of the best aggregator sites I've found is Le Parking - Recherche de voitures d'occasion partout en Europe. It covers some US sites, such as Hemmings. They also keep lots of older listings, so you can also get an idea of prices in different markets and price trends in general. Good luck with your search...

 

Peter,

thanks for the reply, found a nice car in Norway, so reached out to the "seller" and then a day or so later got a response from a site KIJI, what is this site that you provided the link to, do you have to pay to get in contact with the buyer?

 

LeParking is an aggregator presenting ads from other sites, so clicking on 'VOIR L'ANNONCE' should have taken you to the direct listing.

Was it a 'Kijiji' site? That's eBay's classified ad channel, and like eBay itself only advertisers pay to list. The same should apply to any legitimate site. If it looks dodgy, you should just pass and look for another car.

FWIW, I'd really recommend looking for one of these exceptionally elegant cars with leather rather than velour interior, for reasons of comfort, durability, replaceability, aesthetics, etc.

Good luck!

 

That side provided a really nice Aubergine 130 Coupe, looks lovely in the pictures and low miles too. Sent them an email, if it checks out, that's the one for me.

Thanks for the link.

 

Are these all Mickey Mouse sites or what?

Two requests for info to 2 different dealers, one intl phone call with my butchered Italian/French thrown in and not a single response.

The search goes on.

Par for the course for European dealers, IMO. Hope my mail helped though. Be persistent, it'll happen. I do this semi-professionally, and while it may sometimes feel like you're baging your head against a wall, you will break through.

 

DO WANT!

Can anyone track this car down?

Secondly, thoughts on this?

No feedback on these last 2?

 

Neither of those 2 interested me, one was in Australia, so unless 100% exact to what i want i wouldn't buy in Australia due to many logistics etc.

I still want that Silver/Orange car, PERFECT in ever way.

 

Ok, so condition no longer "irrelevant" as originally requested. Got it.

How is Australia much harder the Europe?

Good luck.

Auto, but right condition and colors?

 

Put my bid in and was able to negotiate a decent price i think for this lovely example (Based on pictures anyway)

Will head on down in the next week or so to pick it up. Loved these cars since i was 16 and silver was always my favourite colour, blue interior too, Orange was my 1st choice, but nigh on impossible to find.

best part about the whole deal, guy is 4 hours drive from me, so no customs to deal with or taxes, just hand over the cash and be done.

Probably one of 10 in the country, Ill get some pictures posted of it next to my Diablos next week and see just how different 2 cars can be.

I'm excited!

 

Wow, congratulations to you on your find. Beautiful car and such a fine example too.

 

Congratulations, the car looks great.

What a wonderful car and composition! I feel the blue interior suits the car best. And no automatic! Enjoy and congratulation! I met in early summer 1971 - probably one of the very first cars - in Firenze parked along the Arno. Let us know how the drive was and please send pictures about the details.

 

I'm getting excited, cars getting picked up tomorrow on its way to me Tuesday. Now i'll have to head on over to eBay and purchase some Abba 8 track music tapes.

 

Had the 130 Coupe for the past 2 months and what a pleasure to drive. Im so happy that ive had not a single issue, the car rides and runs perfect, Sitting in almost 90 degree Florida traffic, no cooling problems and everything works on the car as it should., even the A/C works somewhat and a token shot of cool air to "help"
cool the interior.

I couldn't have been more pleased and wish i could thank the previous owner that took care of the car when it resided in Italy as clearly this is the key to this cars condition and amazing driveability.

All in all, one of the best motor cars i have ever owned.

 

Great to hear you are enjoying it. Such a cool car.

 

hey! How os it going? Still having the Fiat 130 Coupe? I am a bit interested in these cars and could well have one in addition to my 550 Maranello for letting he V12 not be driven too much.. I live in south of France and that car here would be beyond cool. Let me know your experiences from the last years and post some more pictures. I can imagine that car is super rare in Florida!!
Thanks
