The Siata Spring was a 2-seater roadster built by Italian car builder Siata as a spin-off of the Fiat 850. Introduced in 1967, it featured retro styling with a mock upright radiator grille, separate wings, and headlights, and running boards. It could reach at least 78 mph. This 1970 edition wears an older restoration, runs great, and the seller says it’s ready for you to drive it home. From Avondale, Arizona, the little car is available here on craigslist for $6,000. Thanks, SG, for this sweet tip!

Siata (Società Italiana Auto Trasformazioni Accessori aka Italian Car Transformation Accessories Company in English) was an Italian car tuning shop and manufacturer founded by race car driver Giorgio Ambrosini in 1926. Produced for eight years until the company’s demise in 1975, the Spring was based on a modified Fiat 850 floor pan and used that car’s mechanical components. The Spring would become Siata’s best-selling model with about 3,500 units built in total.

This 1970 model’s great condition is a testament to the care its previous owners gave it, according to the seller. Even though the producing company left it an orphan 46 years ago, parts are not difficult to come by because of its Fiat lineage. The Siata’s engine resides in the back and the 853cc motor is rated at producing 53 hp with a 2-barrel carburetor and headers. We’re told the engine has just received a tune-up and other new installed parts include the muffler, aluminum radiator, fuel pump, master brake cylinder, and tires. The gas tank and fuel lines have also all been cleaned.

Although refreshed some years ago, the red paint may be ready for another go-round, depending on the pickiness of the next owner. It has a new canvas convertible top and center caps for the snazzy wire wheels. The car is said to have less than 45,000 miles on it in total. The seller has one interesting request for those wishing to take a test drive: they need to wear very thin pointed shoes because the operating pedals are in very close proximity to one another. The seller is willing to consider a trade and provides a list of acceptable candidates that’s as long as your arm.
