VW Kombi Van Seeing Resurgence in Popularity

The Volkswagen Kombi van reached iconic status, with even a school lunch box fashioned in its image. During those early years, the Volkswagen Microbus morphed into various forms. From a cargo carrier with no windows behind the driver's seat to a windowed passenger van with three rows of seats, the possibilities seemed endless.

Classic Car Overview

FAutohaus of Naples is delighted to present this charismatic and charming 1978 FIAT 124 Spider an Italian roadster that delivers open-air motoring with timeless style, mechanical soul, and just the right amount of vintage flair. Designed by the legendary Pininfarina and engineered with classic European road manners, the 124 Spider remains one of the most enjoyable and accessible vintage convertibles on the road and this example captures everything enthusiasts love about the golden era of Italian sports cars.

Under the hood, youll find a lively 1.8-liter twin-cam inline-4 engine, developed by famed Ferrari engineer Aurelio Lampredi, paired to a 5-speed manual transmission. This free-revving motor delivers both sound and sensation, pulling strong through each gear with classic carbureted character and a wonderfully mechanical driving feel. Weighing in at just over 2,300 lbs, the 124 Spider feels nimble, connected, and eager whether youre carving through corners or cruising the coast with the top down.

The design, penned by Pininfarina, is unmistakably Italian. With its long, sculpted hood, flowing lines, rounded fenders, and compact proportions, the Spider exudes elegance without ever trying too hard. Chrome bumpers, delicate trim, and signature round taillights give it a distinctive and enduring aesthetic the kind of design that looks equally at home at a vintage rally or parked at a caf in Naples.

Inside, the cabin is simple, functional, and full of old-world charm. Wood-rimmed steering wheel, gauges with Italian script, and bucket seats offer a cockpit thats both driver-focused and stylishly minimalist. Everything feels purpose-built yet relaxed exactly what a vintage roadster should be. And with the manual convertible top, open-air freedom is just a few quick steps away.

The 124 Spider was ahead of its time, offering features like four-wheel disc brakes, a five-speed transmission, and a DOHC engine long before many
