DESCRIPTION:
1987 Bertone (Fiat) X1/9 with 45,500 original miles. According to the previous owner, who was the second owner of the car, this car was left in a barn in California for a number of years before he bought it. He bought the car and then restored the mechanical and electrical parts of the car while off and on driving it over his five years of ownership. He put about 14,000 miles on the car over the five years of ownership. His ad read: "1987 Fiat (Bertone) X1/9, under 42k original miles. I got this beauty from the original owner with less than 29k miles on it, I have the original manual with service records. Its all original, fully restored with some extras on it. I will try to list some of them here but it is a long list. I have gone through everything on this car. It gets 32-34 mpg and is a blast to drive. 1500cc motor, which has been detailed and custom painted as you can see in the pics. 5 speeed manual transmission, Targa convertible removable top, the top fits in the front trunk when not in use. Power windows, A/C (works good) new compressor and receiver/drier, tinted windows, all carpet and upholstery like new. Custom stereo, 200w Infinity 5 channel amp in the frunk, 4 infinity kappa speakers (front and rear deck) JBL 10" subwoofer behind passenger seat and a Clarion sirius ready 5 channel head unit with remote. Sounds awesome! All new brake rotors and Ferodo pads. new brake hoses, new brake and clutch master cylinders and reservoirs, clutch slave cylinder, custom blue halo headlights, installed extra headlight and wiper motor relays, also Brown Wire Mod for better electrical power. New thermostat, new water pump, new fuel pump, fuel injectors serviced, new stainless braided fuel lines, stainless coolant expansion tank. All new sensor and F/I parts, K&N air filter. Recent timing belt and all other belts and hoses. Good tires and new custom painted rims. I still have the stock rims, and a bunch of extra parts with it. There is much more than I have listed here, if you are serious I will go through it with you. No rust and the body is almost perfect. There is one scratch on the left side of the front hood that I have touched up (you can see it in the pics), but overall its a beautiful and well maintained dependable car." Some other notes on the car from the second owner: The car was bought from Burns European Motors in Hayward, CA on 5/28/87. The date on the door pillar says 4.86 and the car is titled as a 1987. [This may attend for the original TRON style rims with the Bertone wheel covers, which I have.] The chrome and windshield are original. He stated, "I did remove the trim around the windshield and clean it up and resealed and reinstalled it, so no leaks. Also, I lost one of the rear spoiler wing tips on a bumpy road. I was having a hard time finding a replacement so I just took off the other one and filled the ends with bondo and repainted it. It was always black though, that is the original color." He also stated that the car came from the dealer without side moldings as some of the X 1/9 models had. I purchased the car just over a year and a half ago and had the car shipped to Pennsylvania from California. I have replaced: the hood cable the four tires with GT original size tires that look awesome and continued to use the older custom painted Abarth rims that were on the car. the "custom blue halo headlights" with the brightest Hella H4 7" round US DOT approved headlights that I could find had the gas tank replaced with a used gas tank, straps, floater and a new heat shield from Midwest Bayless I have also: had an easily replaceable fuel filter installed on the outside of the tank had the mirror adjusters filled with silicone grease to stop water from coming in through the mirror adjusters Some things to note about the car: I have taken the car on some longer drives and it drives awesome. The electronics work, including the electric antenna and Vegliaflesh digital clock and timer. About two years ago the car passed CA inspection and smog testing, and recently the car passed PA inspection and emissions testing.
