Hilarious eBay writeup!

You have to read this seller's description! It is a Hemi that makes 155 hp in a 1200 lb car! Better jump on it!

Huh. Ya learn something new every day.

its possible that the heater broke and he re-routed some of the exhaust into the cabin as a fix. It's a good thing he fixed the interior lighting issue because at least now he could find his weed and roll a good joint.

I read about the big 4 banger hemi
Gonna get me one of those

They did a nice job making the hemi look just like a stock Fiat engine.

My car is over 2000 lbs. I had no idea that removing the bumper got rid of so much weight!

Personally, I think he has the decimal point in the wrong location....

Well, it is the one off Pininfarino Edition, so there is that!

God help me for saying this, but in the fellow's insignificant and very minor defense, totally unwarranted, I have read that the head in the Spider is considered to be "semi-hemispherical", although I don't remember the source. I never see this designation used anywhere, for obvious reasons of the imagery association with MOPAR muscle, etc.

124 SPIDER PININFARINO EDITION
That's why it is so expensive. One of the kind.

double overhead cams by nature have hemispherical heads, so from a politician's point of view, he is telling the gospel truth. I suspected he filled the body panels, tubes, trunk and tires with hydrogen to get down to 1200#. I guess he had to do something to justify the asking price.

You guys are all forgetting a significant value add in his description. He replaced all seals so it is basically "a new engine with 2000 miles on it". Now I know why he is asking so much!

[zachmac]

Told ya it was an entertaining read! I sent him an eBay "question" today asking if he wanted help correcting the gross number of factual errors in his ad. Pretty sure I shouldn't hold my breath waiting for a response. On the other hand, assuming it runs it is a pretty amazing thing to make a Fiat a good driver while knowing absolutely nothing about it.

It looks like he has edited it some so it's no longer a special edition 155hp hemi so maybe he is listening to some feedback? Now about that 1200 lb weight?

Honey, where's the dog?...thump, thump...

And for those who weren't aware that Fiat produced the Dino with a hemi engine - here's an "everything is original" Fiat Dino with that the same hemi found in the Ebay ad that started this thread instead of that pesky Ferrari engine.
