Here we have a 1984 Bertone X1/9 with a custom rear deck. The X1/9 is an Italian 2-seater mid-engined sports car designed by Bertone. It was manufactured by Fiat from 1972-1982 before Gruppo Bertone took over from 1982-1989 once Fiat exited the US market. The X1/9 was sold for 3 generations in the United States; the 1st for 1974, the 2nd lasting 3 years from 1975-1978 while the 3rd & final spanned a decade until 1989. In 1984, the year of this example here, the main update was to the electrical system with new fuses. The X1/9 has a transverse engine & gearbox in a mid-mounted, rear-wheel drive setup. It is best known for its handling capabilities & retractable headlights.
The seller acquired this Bertone from the original owner in 2014 when it showed roughly 37,000 miles / 59,545 km on the odometer; adding just over 3000 miles / 5,500 km since. The vehicle's original colour was said to be navy blue before it was professionally repainted under prior ownership in its current shade of metallic black. It was reportedly entirely stripped down for the repaint in early 2014. The previous owner lowered the vehicle 2" & also added a custom touch to the vehicle, replacing the rear deck overhang of the X1/9 with a roll-bar. In turn, the vehicle has no roof or cover; the seller only drives the vehicle on clear summer days. The roll-bar is said to be directly connected to the frame. This Bertone features an aftermarket push-button start, adding a modern touch to it. The key must still be inserted for the push-start function.
It is powered by a mid-mounted 1.5L Inline-4 engine equipped with Bosch L-Jetronic fuel injection linked to a 5-speed manual transmission spinning the rear wheels. The seller states the vehicle is in proper working condition with no issues or leaks.
