The Fiat 124 Sport Coupe series is similar to the Alfa Romeo GTV in that it is mechanically similar to its convertible platform mate, yet wholly more appealing. Both the Fiat 124 Sport Coupe and 124 Sport Spider ride on similar unibody platforms with a double wishbone front and a 4-link rear suspension. And, power for both comes from some form of iron block, aluminum head twin cam Lampredi four cylinder engine.
This being a CC model, power comes from the destroked 1592cc engine, revised from the 1608cc engine in the BC to qualify for Italy's sub-1600cc class. And, since the car was imported from Italy, it lacks the emissions equipment of a US model, breathing freely through its single Weber carb.

This is a turn key and go car no issues.
The car is said to be turn key with no issues, and we hope that the claim holds to be true. These cars deserve the level of attention that this example seems to have received. From the clean engine bay with intact hood insulation to the tidy interior, this car shows very well.
We recommend these 124 Sport Coupes to those who can't stomach the recent prices on a comparable Alfa Romeo 1750 GTV. Parts support is similar, and the performance is comparable. We even prefer the design of the Fiat, though ours would be an early AC model with single round headlights. Depending on where this auction ends up, this could be a great opportunity to pick of an Italian sports coupe at a fraction of the price of an Alfa GTV.

Hmmm…it says 1972 in the body of the sellers ad. That aside, I bought one of these, a ’73, I think, it didn’t have the 5 mph crash bumpers, off a dealers lot in New Orleans in 1975. It was tan and I drove it up and down the East Coast as I was in college. Enjoyed the heck out of it maybe even more than the Spider I owned later.
What I remember about it was the tinniness of the interior. But it drove like a bat out of hell.
