This 1982 Fiat Spider 2000 was purchased by the seller in 2016, and subsequent work and modifications included the installation of a rebuilt and modified 2.0-liter inline-four, custom grille inserts, driving lights, early-style chrome bumpers, 15″ alloy wheels, progressive lowering springs, sport shocks, revised exhaust components, rack-and-pinion steering, and more. Finished in red over tan leather upholstery, the car is equipped with a five-speed manual transmission, a tan soft top, four-wheel disc brakes, a wood-rimmed Nardi steering wheel, a retro-style Bluetooth stereo, and a heater. This Spider 2000 is now offered with an accident-free Carfax report and an Ohio title in the seller’s name.

The car is finished in red with a tan soft top, and the seller tells us that it was modified by Roadster Salon in Palatine, Illinois, with custom upper and lower grille inserts as well as driving lights and early-style chrome bumpers. Replacement LED headlights are said to have been fitted in 2021, and factory taillight assemblies were sourced and installed by Midwest-124 of Gahanna, Ohio, in 2024. Additional details include dual-side mirrors, a “2000” badge, and Pininfarina badging. Photos of the paint and trim condition are viewable in the gallery below.

The 15″ alloy wheels are mounted with 195/50 Dunlop Direzza tires. The seller notes that the suspension was modified with progressive lowering springs and sport shocks by the Roadster Salon, along with a rear anti-sway bar. Coil spring isolators are said to have been installed by Midwest-124 in 2024, and the car has been retrofitted with a rack-and-pinion setup.

The cabin features front bucket seats and a rear bench upholstered in tan leather, and interior appointments include woodgrain dashboard trim, Pininfarina-branded floor mats, a wooden shift knob and handbrake handle, a clock, a heater, and a retro-style stereo head unit with Bluetooth connectivity.

The wood-rimmed Nardi steering wheel fronts Veglia Borletti instrumentation with brushed-finish bezels consisting of a 140-mph speedometer, a tachometer, and gauges for fuel level and coolant temperature. The five-digit odometer shows 16k miles, approximately 1,00 of which were added under current ownership. The Carfax report indicates the car was issued a “not actual mileage title” in 2016, and the total mileage is unknown. The seller tells us that a replacement factory coolant temperature gauge and ignition switch were installed, along with a wiper motor relay kit. An auxiliary oil pressure gauge is mounted to the right of the steering column.

The 2.0-liter inline-four was rebuilt, modified, and balanced by Midwest-124 in 2024, according to the seller, with work reportedly including porting and polishing the cylinder head, and installing 10:1-compression pistons, 43mm intake and 37.5mm exhaust valves, bronze valve guides, high-performance camshafts, a lightweight flywheel, aluminum crankshaft and water pump pulleys, and a GMB water pump. The fuel rail was overhauled with replacement injectors, injector seals, Gates Barricade fuel injection hose, and a replacement fuel pressure regulator was installed that year, along with a high-output cooling fan, a low-temperature fan switch, and replacement ignition components, per the seller.

The seller-provided summary above highlights work and modifications performed on the car.

Power is sent to the rear wheels through a five-speed manual transmission that was reportedly rebuilt by Midwest-124 in 2023, and the seller notes that the clutch was replaced. The differential is said to have been rebuilt in 2020 with replacement bearings, seals, seal retainers, O-rings, and gaskets, and additional work at that time included overhauling the driveshaft with a replacement center support bearing, bearing support block, and universal joints. The firewall was reinforced for the clutch cable in 2024, and an Ansa sport muffler and a replacement exhaust downpipe have been installed, per the seller.

The Carfax report lists the aforementioned “not actual mileage title issued” entry, and it shows no accidents or other reported damage from an initial update in 1992.

The Ohio title for the car lists a “Not Actual: Warning Odometer Discrepancy” brand.
