Oooh. That's a cool one.

1966 Fiat 1500 Coupe Ghia GT with a 289.

I absolutely know I don't need a project, but if I did, I'd be calling. Why do they look so simple when they're not in your garage?

Definitely not under $2013

In reply to Sine_Qua_Non:

Probably not. But, really, how much can it be worth? Or, if you have to ask...

Absolutely "Say What?"-worthy...

I'm going to guess the seller is looking for something like $25k, but who knows.

Is this "Denver" place anywhere near Connecticut?

I did just a minute of poking around on google - looks like these cares are really rare. You could be right. But, really, with the motor gone and lots of "wrong" stuff, doesn't that kill the value a good bit?

I don't get why someone would go through all the trouble to put a 289 in there, but go with an auto trans.

He wants 10k for it

I got the same reply

He can keep it for $10k.

Because clutch pedals are hard.

Yeah, I agree. It's cool, but not that cool.

The 289 looks small in the engine bay of a Fiat???? How big are these cars?

Why does the wiring on these sort of cars with this sort of swap always look like the most inept E36 M3 on the face of the planet?

289s are just that small.

That's why the SBF has been a staple of engine swaps, they fit almost anywhere.

that fan sure looks effective back there

Hmm... I don't know... they look kinda odd from some angles:

Nice, classic Euro interior, tho...

Driving gloves or for fixing something that fell off on route to the show?.
