1959 Lancia Flaminia Berlina |
Beautiful local (PA) car with full history dating back to 1959. Purchased from the original owner. Full restoration was started by the previous owner; stacks of receipts for tens of thousands of dollars came with the car. A rare and beautiful example of Italy's best that was the car Nanci and I were proud to ride in on our wedding day. |

1970 Fiat 500L |
Every respectable Italian car collection has to have one of these, right? Great little car that was quite a hit at our wedding, and everywhere we go with it. Recently repainted white over a nice original black interior. |

1972 Fiat 124 Familiare (Wagon) |
This car was the parts-runner/beater of Vick Autosports in Ft. Worth, Texas. I purchased it from Robert Vick through good friend Csaba Vandor, who also graciously conducted and oversaw the partial restoration of the car. Nanci and I flew to DFW and drove it home, entering it in a major car show on the way home. Has the original automatic transmission, but at least it's mated to a twin-cam engine with electronic ignition. |

1974 Fiat X1/9 |
What started life as an 'ordinary' 1974 X1/9 has become a pretty special car. Built by famous Fiat-racer Steve Hoelscher of northern Alabama, I purchased this car in 2002 from Mark Frost (who also races Fiats) in Indianapolis, IN. It's built with all the right stuff: 1500 block, big-valve head, cams, dual 40 DCNF Webers, race springs, Konis, ATS wheels, custom exhaust, electronic ignition, etc. A car that is a tremendous amount of fun to both drive and show. |

1978 Fiat 131 |
Purchased from the original owner in Austin Texas in 2002. Its rust-free original condition was amazing - even the air conditioning and smog systems worked perfectly. With friend Csaba Vandor's help, it was treated to a fresh respray before appearing at MOFLO 2003 and then being driven home to PA. I have also installed new wheels and tires, an electronic ignition, a Brava grille, and trunk spoiler. Has been personally invited to, and has attended, many car shows and driving events. One of our favorites. |

1979 Fiat Brava Wagon |
A really nice Brava Wagon discovered by Bay-area friends in California to replace Rich Stephens' totalled 131 Wagon. Once Rich was done with it, it became the "family truckster" of the Anderson Family in Boise, ID. Nanci and I drove this car to Oregon 2006 and then home on her first-ever cross-country trip. |
 |
1979 Fiat Strada |
A restoration project I purchased from friend Dave N. in eastern PA. A 1500cc carbureted 5-speed 3-door. It received new original-color paint at the same time I bolted on the Abarth Ritmo 125TC front and rear fascia. 1987 X1/9 wheels, a CD player, sheepskin seat covers, halogen headlamps, and an ANSA exhaust make this a practical, great little car. Nanci's favorite car to ride in, actually! |

1982 Fiat Spider 2000 |
Purchased in Seattle, Washington in 2003. Partially restored there and driven across the United States for my "IronButt 2004" adventure. With two grown men and all their gear. Oh, and towing another Fiat (1977 3P) loaded with the remains of yet another Fiat INSIDE., no less. Made appearances at Oregon '04 and FFO '04 as well as other shows and events, including our wedding. |

1985 Bitter SC |
Amazing car with a fascinating history. Sold new in California, allegedly to Wilt Chamberlain (according to previous owner). At some time, it moved to Colorado for a few years. I purchased it in a two-Bitter deal from a guy in Birmingham, Alabama. Car has a 350 Chevy bored out to 409cc's built with all the best stuff on the market (Brodix, Edelbrock, Holley) which, together, rumble the whole garage! |
 |
1985 1/2 Pininfarina Spider |
The 1985.5 model is the very last Fiat spider variant and very few were manufactured. I've owned this car since 1996. It has tasteful and reversible modifications. I've driven it from California to the Florida Keys to New England and everywhere inbetween. One of my favorites in the garage. |
