For sale: 1990 Fiat Panda 4x4 Sisley edition
This is a 1990 Fiat Panda 4x4 with ~180k km that I've owned in the USA for a couple years. It’s been an incredibly capable car off-road and an absolute riot to drive around town, but sadly It's time to move on. This one is a 1.0 FIRE motor, 5 speed, carb'd, and LHD car so nothing too complicated to deal with like the later EFI cars.
This particular car was Imported from Spain some time around 2022. Since buying it from the importing dealer I’ve put a couple thousand kms on it and worked through just about the entire car. Just about every wear item or worn out part has been replaced or refurbished, so this car is absolutely ready to go. As it spent most of its life in a hot, dry climate there’s no real rust either, except for a small patch on the bottom of the passenger door. The biggest downsides are that the plastics are quite brittle, and the bottom of the car is beat up after its life driving through Spanish fields. That being said, you’d be hard pressed to find one in better working shape in the USA.
Here’s the list of stuff I’ve fixed or replaced since buying the car:
New front control arms
New wheel bearings
New inner/outer tie rod ends
New timing belt and water pump
New alternator
New radiator and all hoses
New fuel pump, all rubber lines, and filter
New ignition system (distributor cap, rotor, wires, and plugs)
New steering column stalk assy
New motor mounts
Fixed 5th gear selector fork
Modified ignition system due to crappy non-oem parts availability (happy to explain in detail)
Cleaned out fuel tank, pickup, and vent lines
Replaced rear brake shoes and hardware
Rebuilt front calipers
Installed rear seat belts (safety first!)
Fixed both doors window regulators
And probably a bunch more I’ve forgotten about...
Overall, the car is in fantastic functional shape, and, surprisingly, cruises at 65mph perfectly happily. Feel free to contact me with any questions, I’m more than happy to answer any of them! Open to reasonable offers and possibly trades for other interesting Italian cars, classic minis, or a 2019 or newer Miata.
