This 1981 Fiat Spider 2000 Turbo is one of approximately 700 examples produced for the United States in partnership with Legend Industries in New York. The car is powered by a turbocharged 2.0-liter inline-four paired with a five-speed manual transmission and is finished in blue over a blue interior. Additional equipment includes a white convertible top, an aftermarket stereo, an aluminum radiator, an electric puller fan, disc brakes, Koni shocks, and 14″ Cromodora wheels. The seller acquired the car in 1997 from its reported original owner, and recent maintenance included a timing belt replacement.
The seller reports that corrosion repair and bodywork were performed in 1997 prior to a repaint of the body in its factory blue finish. Additional exterior features include Turbo lettering on the front of the hood, a white convertible top, a chrome luggage rack, a driver-side mirror, and a wind deflector.
Silver-finished 14″ Cromodora alloy wheels wear red Fiat center caps and are mounted with 185/65 Michelin Defender tires. A spare 13″ steel wheel mounted with a Dunlop tire is stored in the trunk. Koni shocks with aftermarket springs are installed at all four corners, and braking is handled by four-wheel discs with steel braided lines up front. The seller notes that the master cylinder reservoir leaks in cold temperatures.
The cabin is upholstered in blue vinyl with matching door panels, seatbelts, and carpets. Additional equipment includes an aftermarket stereo with Bluetooth functionality, wind wings, and manual crank windows. The seller reports that the lower seat cushions have been replaced along with sections of the carpet and padding around the footwells. The dash is covered by a vinyl dash cap, and the two round vents on top of the dash are reportedly sourced from a later model Alfa Romeo Spider.
A three-spoke steering wheel fronts a woodgrain dash featuring a Veglia Borletti 85-mph speedometer and 8k-rpm tachometer along with a Legend Industries turbo boost gauge. The six-digit odometer shows 46k miles.
The twin-cam fuel-injected 2.0L inline-four was modified for Fiat North America by Legend Industries with a turbo setup, which provides up to 6 psi of boost. Naturally aspirated Spiders were rated at 102 horsepower and 110 lb-ft of torque in 1981, while turbocharged models increased output to 120 horsepower and 130 lb-ft. Additional modifications include an aluminum radiator and an electric puller fan. The seller reports that the cylinder head and turbocharger were rebuilt under current ownership, and the timing belt was replaced in March 2021.
Power is sent to the rear wheels through a five-speed manual transmission.
