FIAT Accompli

I spotted this 1973 (CC Coupe) on Ebay out of Italy.  It's $8,800 (buy it now) or make an offer and as of the time of this writing it looks like there's been at least one offer.  The text of the ad reads like this:

Fiat 124 sport coupè 1600 series III, 1973 / rare colour beige Kensa / factory options: 5 speed box, Cromodora alloys, tinted windows, headrests / excellent mechanic /original interior /
rust-free bodywork / professionally resprayed 10 years ago / tool set / owner's handbook
period brochure / ASI passport / location Italy

can arrange shipping / please contact me for further infos and pics

so, i guess that translates to.....well, who knows?  It has those nice looking European market wheels and marker lights.  Not sure what shipping to the US would be, but outside of a lousy economy, this could be a nice find.   For now, I'll keep an eye on it and if you are reading this and you've bought the car, drop me a line!

 

The vultures have descended on the 535i, but there is a LOT left.   Pretty much all of the under-the-dash and engine bay parts are about to be up for grab.   Here's what the drivers seat looks like these days....
and, in case you are interested in body parts, it was recently repainted with the factory color, but here is the factory tag:

A nice M30 valve cover (and oil cap) from the '85 535i....

In case anyone needs E28 (US spec) grilles, I have 2 or 3sets of these.....

I had a request for some plastic track & cable parts for an E28, so....
....and....

I have the corner trim, center filler section and the "bump strip" for any 1982-1988 BMW 5-Series (E28).  This can be sold as a set or as individual pieces.  They are in good, not "show" condition.

This is the OEM stereo amp that was located under the parcel shelf (inside the trunk) in cars equipped with the premium stereo option.

Left & right  heated, power rear view mirrors.  These are tested and work well.  The outer face has some weathering and could use a light respray, but the lenses are both excellent. 

Left:

Working, tested, correct key, etc....

Seems like it's pretty common for these to be rusty as heck on E28 BMWs.   This is a spare set i had, but don't need since my '87 has European lights (which use different mounts).   US/DOT beams included.

Empty, no tools in it, but possibly useful for a repair or restoration.

I was late on the draw posting anything about this coupe, but this was a 1969 124 Coupe with an odometer reading 40-something thousand miles, and apparently very little rust on Ebay out of Albuquerque New Mexico.  The seller offered a lot of text and some detailed description of the car's condition as well as some decent photos to show what it looks like underneath (which, of course is what really mattters!).  The interior looks like most - especially southwestern examples - of these do in this condition....like a bomb went off inside.  Luckily, all of that except maybe the dash pad, is fairly easy to source or reproduce.  Hopefully we'll see this one brought back to life!

 

The auction is closed at $1,125 on February 3, 2009. 

Front turn signals/parking lights...

Complete, as pulled from a 1985 BMW 535i (E28).  Throttle housing + position switch.

Looks like a GPS receiver, but actually it's a cleanable performance air filter that I ran for a short time on one of my FIAT 124 Coupes.   It's got a crack in the lower casing & the element should probably be cleaned, but this thing is basically bomb-proof & with it you'll never need to buy an air filter again.

These are slightly better photos of the E28 bumpers & related trim that is for sale.
 

For sale:  1974 124 Spider Cylinder Head (1756cc, aka "1800"...original to 1974-1978 124 Spiders) - Complete head pulled from a running car....probably 25 years ago & shelved by a series of Fiat fanatics (including myself) since then.  Come to think of it, I think I have two of these, complete & the other still has the '74 EPA smog pump attached!  woohoo!   $60 + shipping.

I've decided instead of finding a loving home for the car, I'm going to find likable homes for all of its parts...so, here's a look at some of the first to go:
   
  
I'm going to keep it movable/drivable as long as possible, so trim pieces and easy to remove items will go first.   Email me for questions  or pricing.
