3k: Needs Mohr LS1: 1955 Fiat 1100 Trasformabile

 In 1955 Fiat released a convertible (Italian Trasformabile) version of their 1100 series compact family car.  Styling was done in house by Fiat's design director Fabio Luigi Rapi and coachwork was done by the in house special bodies division (Sezione Carrozzerie Speciali).  This was the first post-war small drop top from Fiat (it could be considered the grandpappy to the 850 Spider) and a limited 471 examples were built during the first year of production.  Why is this important?  Because you don't need to be Wayne Carini to understand the supply/demand aspect of classic car collecting and you won't need his deep pockets for today's rare pile of parts.  Find this 1955 Fiat 1100 Trasformabile offered for $3,000 in Oakland, CA via craigslist.
