1970 Fiat 124 Description:

Here's a super-rare, fully-running, 100% awesome 1970 Fiat 124 Family Wagon. Fiat sold a few different configurations of the 124 in America, including the popular 124 Spider convertible. But the 124 Familiare is the rarest 124 in the US. Auto Week estimates that there are less than 20 of these left on the road in North America.
This is a base-model Familiare, with a 4-speed manual transmission, and a 1.2 liter 4-cylinder engine pushing 65 horsepower of vintage Italian muscle. It is rear-wheel drive and features 4-wheel disc brakes.
The interior features two generously-sized bucket seats in the front, and a bench seat in the back that folds down for additional cargo space. We also have an extra set of front and rear seats that we will include with the car. It's actually quite spacious for its size.
The car has been incredibly reliable, only needing regular oil changes. We garage parked it during the Michigan winters for as long as we've owned it. And even though this vehicle is a rarity in North America, it was quite popular in Europe, and parts are relatively easy to source. We will include service manuals.
This is a 1970 car, but the engine is out of a 1969. There are some minor rust spots, as shown in the photos. There is one small hole in the floor (as pictured). The headliner has several holes. The car has been refinished twice (by a previous owner). I do not have an accurate mileage reading, as the engine is not original to the car, and the odometer only has five digits. I know that the odometer has rolled over at least once.
This is really a super-fun car to drive, and a head-turner everywhere we go in it. It pains me to sell; but I hope that it will bring you as much joy as it has brought us. Feel free to ask any questions. Thanks for looking.
(10/23/19) Here are some answers to questions that I've been getting, and a couple of other things I remembered after the original listing: The fuel gauge works, but within a limited range. For example, a full tank of gas shows as 3/4 on the gauge, and an empty tank shows 1/4. The gauge works, but you have to be aware of the range it's working at. The heat works, but there is an aftermarket valve under the dash that you need to open for it to run. I forgot to mention it because I only drive the car in the summer, and never needed the heater. Every couple of oil changes, I'll adjust the tension of the v-belt at the alternator. Also, somebody asked about the passenger side windshield wiper. I've never had a wiper installed on the passenger side, but the shaft turns when the wipers are turned on. Someone also asked me for pictures of the spare tire compartment, so I'm adding one to the listing as well. Thanks again for looking!
