Talk:Fiat 124 Sport Spider

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I think that merging the Spider with the sedan is a bad idea. The Spider and the Coupe are related to the sedan by 3 digits only. In 1969, the Spider was one of the few affordable cars with 4 wheel disk brakes, double overhead cams, hesitation wipers, steering column mounted lighting controls, radial ply tires and a 5 speed transmission. All this for less than $2500 (a Volvo 122 was $3000 and Barracuda with the 340 was $3200) a with the bonus of great looks and a 7800 rpm red-line. It deserves its own spare. I'll even write it if I can find time. signed : John K.

[edit] The Dino Spider and the 124 are not related at all

"Dino" was a line of cars positioned between Ferrari and FIAT. After the death of Dino Ferrari the 206 (and later 246) Dino were branded as Ferraris, the sedan and convertible as FIATs.
