Hello
Hello
Hi to all. I recently joined your forum, just found the intro section. I had a '78 spider when I was younger. Unfortunatelly, it was stolen; they trashed first gear. Then a truck ran me down (he didn't see me down there), so I decided to part with it. Now, many years later, I would like to pick up another. If anyone knows of a nything in the NYC area (or surrondings), please, let me know.
They are there if you look closely....
Welcome to the website - a fiat shouldnt be too hard to find near NYC - check ads, maybe even Ebay - they have a lot of cars, some in the NYC, NJ, or LI area.
If you find another, watch out for those trucks!

Yes, I figured you were talking about the car. It sounds nice, although, I guess on this car the color would be Italian racing green? Anyway, "I would like to see it. I live close (Bellmore) and am available during the day. My schedule changes daily, so we will have to play it by ear. Actually, are you available this weekend (mornings 'til 1pm)?

Possibly Saturday morning, Sunday is Mother's Day so that's a definite no-go. Are you able to come out to Patchogue? Suffolk County, Bellmore's in Nassau, isn't it? I'm not sure how far. I could drive it to meet you somewhere, but my husband would have to follow and I'm not sure what his plans are for Saturday.
Yeah, Italian green would be a better description. The original color was blue, you can barely see it when you open the flap on the gas cap.

sorry, nick, we were in Poughkeepsie all day picking up youngest son from college. Yeah, maybe we'd better reschedule, I have to shop tomorrow for groceries for Mother's Day brunch, etc etc, busy day. I think it's supposed to rain too, not a good weekend for driving the little car.
I really don't want to take a day off this week, I took today off to go upstate. I get home from work at 4:00pm. Otherwise, next weekend will have to do it? Let me know...

Hi nickc !
I just joined this site this month too. Sounds like you are trying to get "Spider-ed" again. Mine has been stashed away in the back corner of my workshop for some years. I have a green spider w/tan interior. I started work on it some years ago. Went through and upgraded the suspension, installed a new soft top. Then a new job came along and worked stopped. Trying to get started again if work will leave me alone ! Hope you find a car soon. These cars need to be in the hands of those who will care for them. - Jim DeShon in the S.California desert.
