judging by the seams on the seat, looks like a factory leather interior with sport seats.


the center arm rest section is probably Leatherette, and the camera has picked up the slight color difference.


they usually only put leather on the seating surfaces only, the rest being leatherette / vinyl unless specified.

Dude... First thing that shows up when you click that link:

That 911 is 1985. 11 years outside of eligibility.

:facepalm:

Yup. So happy I can mod my 71 and still get collectors. I want to enjoy the car, not be a curator.

Yah that just changed last year... it was 1950-something before that... was waiting forever to get mod collectors status for my 1968 Mustang...

That's quite the jump, is it based on the vehicles age or is it fixed at 1974 now for some reason?

Looks like a cheap way to get into a newer car, and potentially slap on a big turbo LOL. Go kart anyone?

2011 Nissan 370Z Roadster - $24500

Fixed at 1974, it was at 1958 a while before. A lot of the collector car rules are pretty arbitrary, clearly based on lobbying by the hot rod and muscle car groups.

You are still allowed some basic mods on any 25+ but a lot of the allowable modifications really only apply to carburated vehicles despite 1993 vehicle being eligible now. It would be nice if the rules were updated to reflect the newer FI vehicles that are becoming eligible.

I'm a little salty just cause someone could be cruising in a 200k pro touring muscle car with collectors and be fine but if I wanted to get an FD or z32 and do a few reliability/driveability mods I'd be screwed

woot. can "era correct mod" 240z ! ZG front end and flares + collector plate !

Craigslist bad buys*, guy's insane to ask for 75 racks for an auto

So racks is what the kids are saying these days....

I wouldn't say he's completely out to lunch. If it's as clean as it looks and his paperwork matches up from day one, it'll be worth that to someone I think.

One look and you should be able to tell its fake...

Baggy interior and No low bowlers lol.

Fiat 500s came turbocharged from factory (Abarth and 500 turbo)

For all you guys arguing about what classic is the better buy lol cool vid

... Or, just get both (sort of).

:fullofwin:

Uh... he knows. He’s saying put a big turbo on there, like, uh, upgrade

idk about the various differences between the 500, 500 turbo, and abarth. But assuming that you'd put on a BIG turbo on it, that cost of the turbo itself would be the same regardless of which starting point you chose. That said, the internal reinforcement might be different across all 3 trims, but IF you were to put a BIG turbo on it, you'd have to reinforce it even further anyway.

The cheapest Abarth you can find is:2013 Fiat 500 Abarth - 5MT - 95xxx km - $10K

The cheapest 500 turbo you can find is:
2013 Fiat 500 Sport Turbo - $8900 - 74,xxx km (shady used car lot looking place)
https://images.craigslist.org/00w0w_...rt_600x450.jpg

So depending on the internal reinforcements you needed to make, you'd choose one whichever one of these makes it cheaper. If you had to overhaul everything on the Abarth to make it decently reliable with a BIG turbo, you might as well had just started with the initial option posted. Upgrades are usually the same cost afaik (ie. coilovers for the 330ci and the M3 cost roughly the same)

IIRC,


the abarth and the turbos were the same physical motor, with the exception of the Abarth's Brap brap brap factory straight pipe exhaust.

software slightly different as well. but otherwise same.

Abarths get bigger brakes in the front with different pads, lighter wheels (17" are forged) and of course sway bar/ suspension stuff too.


interior you get different seats and a thicker rimmed steering wheel. the red pull fabric for accessing the rear seats is a nice touch, very porsche GT3. you also get a large roof spoiler on the abarth coupes !

Here's one already done up ... not just a big turbo, this must be a HUGE turbo, is there a misprint? 280hp? Does he mean 180hp?

It would take a certain type of person to risk buying a heavily modded car like that from a Kingsway dealer

Was also previously listed at $26,900 by "Ash" here

Appears to be this one in The Smoking Tire One Take.

This guy is the previous owner

280hp on that Fiat 500 turbo is accurate - big turbo upgrade, intercooler, tune, water meth injection and so much more.

Lol somebody should email him and offer $8k to see if he'll take it.
