This 1963 Fiat 1200 Cabriolet Vetture Speciali was purchased as a project out of California by the seller in 2018. A refurbishment carried out by the seller is said to have included a repaint in red, the installation of a replacement interior, and overhauls of the engine and brakes. Power is from a 1.2-liter inline-four paired with a four-speed manual transmission.
Previously white, the car was repainted red under current ownership, at which time repair work was reportedly performed to the left rocker panel. Equipment includes a tan soft top, Vetture Speciali badging, and chrome bumpers and body trim.
Steel 14″ wheels are powder-coated silver and wear chrome-finished Fiat-branded hubcaps and Coker whitewall tires. An overhaul of the braking system is said to have been completed in 2019 and included the installation of replacement wheel cylinders, brake lines, pad springs, and a master cylinder, along with the resurfacing of the brake drums. The rear end was reportedly serviced with replacement seals and oil.
The cabin features bucket seats upholstered in replacement tan vinyl, along with matching door panels and brown carpets. Equipment includes a center console and brown piping on the seats and carpets.
The steel dashboard is finished in the color of the body and houses a 100-mph speedometer, an analog clock, and gauges for coolant temperature and fuel level. The seller states that the electrical wiring, switches, lights, and gauges were repaired in 2019. The five-digit odometer shows 42k miles.
An overhaul of the 1.2-liter inline-four that was completed in 2019 is said to have included replacing the carburetor, water pump, pressure switches, distributor cap and rotor, points, oil filter, gaskets, and starter motor brushes.
Power is sent to the rear wheels through a four-speed manual transmission.
