After some research, and contact with the Fiat Cabrio Yahoo group we found that the car was a 1962 Fiat 1200 Cabriolet. The car itself is not
very rare, although you do not see them all that often. It is one 11,851 made between 1959 and 1963. The rare part turned out to be the
factory hard top. It is thought to be one of less than 300 in the WORLD and may be one of the only ones found on a 1200. At that point it was
decided that the top would stay with the car instead of being sold. According to the experts on the Fiat board "You could spend $20,000 to
restore the car and have something worth maybe $7,200 with a $2,000 hard top. Or, you could spent $2,005 and mark a race car that would
be worth $10,000 with a $2,000 hard top. The car does not have much value, but the top does."
We began to strip everything from the body, evaluate the cars condition, and remove the old paint and rust.
Look how small that engine bay is.
Whatever will we do..........
