1971 Fiat 124 Racer

Purchased by me in the summer of 2010 the car support a full interior (done by ASM Auto upholstery – from the show Fast and Loud) Previous owner did not want just a racecar but a show car that just made a wrong turn and got on the track. It is factory correct Just move the center bar and have the kids in the back seat to go to your next car and coffee.
Under previous ownership the following work (over $80k worth) was completed:
1. Stirp car completely
2. Body and paint job ($15k worth)
3. Full Roll Cage
4. 11 to 1 compression
5. Custom built headers
6. Dual weber 40 IDF’s on a waffleback manifold
7. Abarth ignition controller with MSD rev limiter and shift light
8. 131 transmission
9. Stock brakes, as required, with stainless lines, carbon pads, new booster and a front/rear bias controller
10. ATL fuel cell mounted on diamond plate aluminum
11. Race seat and steering wheel – race seat with bracket goes with the car
12. All the suspension components were removed stripped and painted with all new bushings and joints. A-arms were stiffened.
13. Lowering springs were installed along with a solid panhard rod.
14. All hoses, weather-stripping and other expendables were replaced.
15. Complete new interior. All of the original insulation was removed and replaced with a lighter variety for weight savings.
16. As opposed to fitting the 131 remote mechanism this piece offers Steve the added bonus of conserving his mint lower console. No cutting up required. Function is very good with short, direct and precise gear insertion. Really nice work Steve!

• 2000cc motor is a strong, high revving unit and produces very good power .
• Chassis is strong and well balanced .
• Performance parts are still available.
• Pound for pound, the 124 Coupe is as strong a competitor as any other car in B-Sedan. It has adapted well to GT and Production classes as well.
• Very few good examples remain on the road today. Fewer still on the track. This particular one can be enjoyed on both!!!
