This 1979 Fiat 124 Sport Spider sold for $16,800 at an RM Sotheby's auction in 2020.
Per the auction house's lot description, the tan interior of this example features a Koss radio and cassette player; a reminder of the era the car came from.
Behind the front bucket seats are accommodation for two more (very small) people.
The fabric top, unlike many of the period, can be raised or lowered from the driver's seat with just one hand.
This car's 1,995 cc inline-four engine is mated to a five-speed manual transmission.
From 1975 to 1981, the Fiat 124 Sport Spider was built solely for the U.S. market.
Nearly 200,000 examples of the model were made from 1966 to 1985.
Examples of the Fiat 124 Sport Spider that are in good condition can be found for $15,000 or less, while concours-quality ones will cost double that or more.
