You’ve successfully trodden the fine line between a tasteful and innovative restomod, resulting in an amazing car. Sometimes the former suffers for the latter but, in this case, you’ve nailed it.
You did a GREAT job. I love the updating to more modern power as I recall my '75 X1/9 being woefully underpowered. Fiat should bring this beauty back with a slightly larger size and 250 HP.
I had a X1/9. Super fun car, if you were going downhill. 😂 "They light up the road super nicely." In other words, they are bright as hell, blind oncoming drivers, and should be illegal (if they aren't already). 😂
I don't know exactly. It is on coilovers from Vicks, and i set them as low as they would go and i liked the stance. I think it is about 2" in the rear and 2.5" in the front.

nicely executed
Very nice.
Bayless does a great job
I agree... But they did not build this car. It is an owner built, home built, car.
What size tires did you put on there?
185-60R 13
How far down did you lower the car?
I don't know exactly. It is on coilovers from Vicks, and i set them as low as they would go and i liked the stance. I think it is about 2" in the rear and 2.5" in the front.
Where did you get the bumper ?
The bumpers both front and back are from a '67 or '68 Camaro, narrowed to fit.
Are you selling it?
Yes, I put it up for auction on bringing a trailer. bringatrailer.com/listing/1980-fiat-x1-9-12/
if you put ferrari badging on it, at least make it look legit. other than that, good build.
Thanks for the compliment,
Wind up windows?
