Now, with a full wash and a bit of TLC, this once-gross Fiat has transformed into a gorgeous classic that’s sure to turn heads.

Taken to the folks over at “AMMO NYC,” the dusty and smelly 124 Sport Spider got an impressive makeover. The silver paint shines again and the brown and red stripes that adorn the beltline are still in one piece, which is surprising after almost four decades of storage.

And not only does this Fiat come in a cool color combo, but it also appears to be a relatively low-mileage example because the odometer shows only 34,590 miles (55,667 km). There’s no confirmation that this is the car’s actual mileage, but it makes sense given that the Fiat was driven for only five years or so before it went into storage.

So it’s pretty much ready to find a new home and hit public roads again except for the engine, which no longer runs. But now that it’s clean, it sure looks like it could be revived without a full rebuild. All told, this 124 Sport Spider looks like a genuine survivor that could be driven for several years without a restoration.

The Sport Spider gained several minor upgrades over the years and used a variety of four-cylinder engines. Originally launched with a 1.4-liter unit rated at 90 horsepower, the Sport Spider gained a 2.0-liter powerplant with more than 100 horses in the late 1970s.

Get ready to witness a breathtakQing transformation as this Fiat 124 Spider emerges from decades of neglect to become a stunning showstopper. It’s a truly satisfying sight to see. Hit play below and see for yourself!
