The bodies were made and assembled by Pininfarina during the entire model run, from introduction at the November 1966 Turin Auto Show, until production ended in 1985 to build the Cadillac Allante. A majority of the cars were exported to the United States[citation needed]. The car was sold in Europe and the U.S. from its introduction until the 1975 model year when it was modified to comply with new U.S. regulations and no European version was produced. Sales in Europe resumed when Pininfarina took over production in 1982 under the name Pininfarina Europa Spider.[2] Introduced for 1967, the Sports Spider and the Fiat 124 Coupé were related to the 124 sedan in name and through the use of much of the mechanical running gear and, in the case of the Coupé, a shared platform. However, the Sports Spider utilized a shorter platform along with a shorter wheelbase. Fiat designed and manufactured the Coupé in-house while the Spider's monocoque was designed and produced by Italian carozzeria Pininfarina — at the time Pininfarina's most successful commercial venture. There are several very active enthusiast clubs in North America. FiatSpiders Forum is a great source for Spider background, ownership and upkeep along with FIAT America [1], that was established in 1969. Club Fiat Lancia Unlimited was founded in 1983 after Fiat left North America. FLU hosts an annual national convention called 'The Fiat Freak Out' that draws several hundred cars.[3] Contents 1 Engines 2 Suspension 3 Specification 4 Production 5 References 6 External links [edit] Engines The engine used in the Spider and Coupé was a double overhead cam, aluminum crossflow head version of the sedan's pushrod unit. It started in 1966 with a capacity of 1438 cc progressively increasing to 1608 cc in 1970 (although this reduced to 1592 cc in 1973), 1756 cc in 1974 and finally 1995 cc in 1979. Bosch fuel injection replaced the previously used Weber carburetors midway through 1980. In 1981 and 1982, Fiat partnered with Legend Industries to create approximately 700 turbo models. There was also a supercharged model called Volumex offered toward the end of production, and sold only in Europe. This family of engines was designed by ex-Ferrari chief engineer Aurelio Lampredi and in one form or another remained in production into the 1990s giving it one of the longest production runs in history. The double overhead cam (DOHC) version was the first mass manufactured DOHC to utilize reinforced rubber timing belts, an innovation that would come into nearly universal use in the decades after its introduction. Its family, powered race cars such as: FIAT 131 Mirafiori, Special T, Lancia Beta Montecarlo, Delta Integrale and many others. 1400 (1438 cc) - 90 PS (66 kW; 89 hp) 1600 (1608 cc) - 110 PS (81 kW; 108 hp) 1600 (1592 cc) - 106 PS (78 kW; 105 hp) 1800 (1756 cc) - 118 PS (87 kW; 116 hp) 2000 (1995 cc) - 78 PS (57 kW; 77 hp) 2000i (1995 cc) - 100 PS (74 kW; 99 hp) VX (1998 cc) - 135 PS (99 kW; 133 hp) [edit] Suspension Fiat 124 Spider Suspension was conventional by unequal length wishbones and coil over damper at the front and by coil sprung live rear axle at the rear which was located by a transverse link (Panhard rod) and two pairs of forward extending radius rods to react braking and acceleration and to control axle wind-up. [edit] Specification The Coupe and Spider were first sold in the US market in 1968. In 1969, the Spider was one of the few affordable cars with 4 wheel disc brakes, double overhead cams, hesitation wipers, steering column mounted lighting controls, radial ply tires and a 5 speed manual transmission, an optional 3-speed automatic transmission (from General Motors) was available from 1979 through 1985. Its convertible top could be raised and locked in place in 15 seconds. Late in its life, Fiat abandoned production of the Spider as well as the X1/9 — to have their production assumed by their respective carozzeria. An early special version was the 124 Spider Abarth which incorporated such things as an independent rear axle, hardtop, different seats, interior etc. and only came in 3 colours. Notably, the body of the Spider remained almost unchanged for its entire production run, with little modification. When the engine was upgraded to 1995 CC, the model was renamed as the Fiat 2000 Spider. In March 1982, Fiat ceased marketing the car and Pininfarina took over at re-named the car the Pininfarina Spider Azzura.[4] [edit] Production Fiat 124 Sport Spider (North America) The model line ceased in 1985 after almost 200,000 Spiders alone had been built, of which 75% were for the US market.

It was the replacement of the Fiat 1300 and Fiat 1500. Today it is perhaps best known as the car used as the basis for the Russian-built Lada, which continues in production to the present day beyond the 124's discontinuation in 1974. Thanks in part to the ubiquity of the Lada version in Eastern Europe (and also in Latin America and the Caribbean), the 124 has achieved iconic status, and if Lada production is aggregated onto the original Fiat production run, the 124 and its various clones is one of the biggest selling automotive designs of all time - with over 15 million units sold worldwide.

The car was unusual in the extent to which Oscar Montabone, the chief engineer responsible for its development, was able to start with a clean sheet.[6] Only the all-synchromesh gear box came from an existing model, the Fiat 1500.[6] [edit] Engine Power came from a 1.2 L (1197 cc) Fiat OHV straight-4, producing 65 hp (49 kW) and 70 ft.lbf (95 Nm). Also 124S with 1438 cc OHV engine and 124 ST with 1438 cc and 1592 cc Twin Cam with 5 speed gearbox. [edit] Variations A 124 station wagon was introduced in April 1967, featuring most of the same specifications as the saloon but the springs were stiffened and the final drive ratio changed to 4.4:1.[7] A slightly stretched and more luxurious version of the 124 sedan known as the 125 was launched in the early part of 1967. The basic 124 saloon also spawned the Fiat 124 Sport Spider and the Fiat 124 Coupé, both sought after 1970s classic cars. [edit] The end Production of the Fiat 124 ceased in 1974, paving the way for the slightly larger but otherwise in most respects similarly configured Fiat 131 Mirafiori.

The factory produced an adapted version 124R of the 124 known as the Lada ВАЗ-2101 / Zhiguli (sold as the Lada 1200 in export markets). These cars are almost identical to the 124 apart from aluminium drum brakes on the rear wheels in place of disc brakes, modernized engine (an overhead camshaft engine, in place of the original Fiat OHV unit) and thicker steel,[citation needed] and were produced until 1984. The updated versions of the Lada based on the Fiat 124/ВАЗ-2101 design are made to the present day and are known as the ВАЗ-2104/2105/2107 - marketed as the Lada Riva or (Lada Classic) in most Western European markets. Production of this line until 2000 has exceeded 14,000,000 cars,[8] and it continues in 2010. [edit] Indian 1989 Premier 118NE The Fiat 124 was also introduced in India by Premier Automobiles in 1986 as the Premier 118NE. The car was very similar to the 1966 version except for a few cosmetic changes to the front and rear. However, Premier incorporated the Nissan A12 (1171 cc/52 bhp) powertrain instead of the original Fiat engine along with Nissan gearbox. The car got a tremendous response in the beginning. Auto magazines[which?] praised its gearshift as the slickest of all. Rusting was the problem with these cars.[citation needed] At the end of production an improved model called Viceroy was released in collaboration with Peugeot, France. Later on it was outmoded by other modern cars and production was stopped in 2001. A few well maintained versions are still found today. [edit] Spanish SEAT 124 manufactured circa 1970. In the frame of the licence agreement between SEAT and Fiat, it was produced and sold in Spain with the name SEAT 124 from 1968 to 1980. The car was very successful in Spain, and was sold in both the 4-door and station wagon versions. Also Sport versions were made with 1600 cc (1970–72) and 1800 cc (1972–75) [edit] Bulgarian The Fiat 124 was also produced under the name Pirin-Fiat in Lovech, Bulgaria, on the basis of complete knockdown (CKD) kits between 1967 and 1971. [edit] Turkish Tofas Serçe, Turkish version of Fiat 124. The Fiat 124 was also produced under the name Murat 124, aka. Serçe ("sparrow") in Bursa, Turkey by Tofaş. 134,867 Murat 124s were produced between 1971 and 1994. TOFAŞ concurrently produced the Fiat 131 series under the name Murat 131 between 1976 and 2002. Today, the company manufactures bona fide Fiat models. [edit] Korean The Fiat 124 was also produced under the name Fiat-KIA 124 by Asia Motors in South Korea between 1970 and 1975. [edit] Egypt From 2002 to 2007 Lada-Egypt company built at least 9,000 cars in the shell of Lada 2107/Riva(2,200 in 2006), and it continues in 2007. [edit] References ^ "Somaca Casablanca".

The four cylinder, aluminum, twin overhead cam engine was designed by ex-Ferrari engineer Aurelio Lampredi. Originally, the AC or first generation featured an 1,438 cc engine, which grew to 1,608 in the second or BC generation. The third generation, or CC, was first officially offered with the 1,592 cc and then 1,756 cc (some early CC left the factory with left over 1,608 cc engines). Other mechanicals include a 5 speed gearbox (although very early AC models only featured a 4-speed), disc brakes at each wheel, power brakes, double wishbone front suspension, one carburetor per cylinder (2 Dual Weber or Solex carburetors on the BC series 1608 engine - except for the USA version which received mild carburation due to emissions constraints), electric fuel pump (on the CC series), and suspension by coil springs. Contents 1 Design 1.1 Engines 1.2 Chassis numbers 1.2.1 AC 1.2.2 BC 1.2.3 CC 2 Seat 124 Sport 3 References 4 External links [edit] Design The 124 Coupé was designed as a three-box, notchback by Mario Boano, known for designing the bodywork on the Ferrari 250 GT "Boano". He was hired by FIAT and was made responsible for the in-house Fiat Centro Stile, while the softtop Spider was designed by Pininfarina. The Spider and Coupé shared the same basic platform as the 124 Sedan (or Berlina in Italian), but the Spider had a 14 cm shorter wheelbase . There were approx 113,000 AC Coupés, 98,000 BC Coupés 1,438 cc/1,608 cc, and about 75,000 CC Coupés manufactured. There were ongoing changes with all models making them almost individual by year (e.g. lack of rear sway bar on 1969 ACs, etc.) The Fiat 124 Spider Abarth came with dual Weber 44 IDF carburetors unlike the regular 124 coupes and spiders which were equipped with dual Weber 40 IDF carbs. Fiat twincam engines tend to be oversquare in design, that is, big bore and short stroke.The 1608 cc is a perfectly square engine, its bore being 80 mm and its stroke being 80 mm. This gives them the ability, when combined with the camshafts and proper carburetors, to rev to high rpms. The Fiat 2 liter is the final evolution for this engine, and by creating a longer stroke (90 mm), actual capacity came to 1995 cc (the bore had been raised to 84 mm earlier on when the 1592 and 1756 engines first appeared). These were not used in any Coupes, but only on Spiders from 1979 on. This engine can be found, in turbocharged and intercooled form, in the Lancia Delta Integrale rally cars. These cars (in several forms and classes) took the World Rally Championship a total of seven times in the 1980s and 1990s.

It featured a 120 mph speedo , three supplementary gauges, a faux wood steering wheel, a woodgrain dash and console top, as well as tail lights shared with the Lamborghini Espada and Iso Rivolta. 124 Sport Coupes were modern in chassis and engine design. Braking was via four 9" disc brakes with a front/rear weight-sensitive proportioning valve. It also had a sealed cooling system, viscous fan clutch and a toothed timing belt for the twin-cam motor, the first mass-produced engine to feature this instead of the usual chain-drive.[citation needed] The torque-tube rear axle of the A series was replaced by a four-link rear axle with a Panhard rod in mid-'68, and remained the same throughout B and C models.

The BC was available with both the 1438 cc and later (although sooner in Europe) the 1608 cc engine. Other details remained similar to the AC except the interior dash now had a 140 mph or 220 km/h speedo, 9000 rpm tacho in 1608 cc models and a clock. The steering wheel now had black painted spokes and the seats had for the first time cloth inserts in the centre. There was no woodgrain inside like before (all the panels were finished in black vinyl and the gauge rims were matt black to match) and "eyeball" vents were fitted in the centre console where the AC had a decorative panel simply filling in the space for an optional radio. Options included green tinted windows, Cromodora alloy wheels with Chrome centre hub cap (as per AC optional), radio, seat headrests, rear windshield electric defrosting, electronic ignition. At the end of the BC run air conditioning was available as an option as well. The fuel tanks were always around 46 litres (12 US gal; 10 imp gal) and all fasteners used are metric as per European measurement. [edit] CC Fiat 124 Sport Coupe CC. 1971 Chevrolet Vega Sedan (Notchback), styling inspired by the Fiat 124 Coupé.[1][2] 1973 CC 1608 cc - #206905 1973 CC 1592 cc - #213370 1974 CC1 1756 cc - #240100 1975 CC1 1756 cc - #269934 The CC Coupe arrived in 1973 with new front styling and a revised squarer rear tail with a new deeper trunklid. Taillights also changed to a now vertical arrangement and side rear windows were revised. The CC started with a small batch fitted with the 1608 cc engine, soon changing to a revised 1592 cc engine (slightly shorter stroke at 79,2 mm to create a "sub-1600" engine to fit the lower tax bracket in Italy) and an enlarged 84 mm bore creating an engine of 1756 cc. The 1592 cc and 1756 cc (sourced from the new Fiat 132, introduced in 1972) both made use of a single carburetor again (the Weber 34 DMS). In spite of this change the 1756 cc was the most powerful engine produced with 118 hp (88 kW) and 115 mph (185 km/h) top speed. The CC's revised interior featured a new dashboard incorporating a lower panel on the passenger side, an alloy fascia in front of the driver and seats covered completely in cloth. There was a new vinyl-covered steering wheel rim with anodised silver spokes. The optional but not uncommon Cromodora wheels now had a revised design with no chrome centre hubcap, instead having exposed wheelnuts. These were of an 8 slot design, the earlier wheels used coming in 6 slot configuration (an 8-slot design was also current but not original to the 124 range). [edit] Seat 124 Sport The car was also built with 1600 (FC-00) and 1800 (FC-02) engines under license in Spain as the Seat 124 Sport. The first series produced was equivalent to the BC series if Fiat's version, and used 1608 cc engines provided by Fiat itself. The second series was a direct copy of the CC model, with both the 1592 and 1756 cc engines. SEAT later developed facilities for producing its own engines of this family, but it appears that the Sport versions were actually built in Italy. [edit] References ^ Robert Spinello.

Types: Sports,2 doors,2 seats [View Picture Gallery] Classic and Sports Car, UK September 1998, P110 Fiat certainly made the most of its shared platform idea with the 124 based cars. In 1966 a pininfarina 124 Spider appeared with a 1438cc version of the 125's twin cam engine .The 124 Spider replaced the 1200 Cabriolet of 1959-1963 and the 1500 and 1600S built from 1960-1963. Progressively bigger engines were offered 1608cc, 1778cc and eventually 1997cc. Fiat made about 322,500 spiders before giving it to Pininfarina in 1982 who continued production with a PF badge.The 124 Spider featured a good looking two door body styled for Fiat by Pininfarina which needed little improvement throughout its long career. The car was very popular in the US where it competed with other European rivals such as the MG's and Triumphs from Britain. .
