In the site:
Based on a shortened Berlina chassis, the
Spider body was designed and built by Pininfarina, final assembly being
carried out by Fiat.
These used either the 1592cc (CS) or 1756cc engine (CS1) from the 132 ,
these generating 108bhp and 118bhp respectively, although both were fitted
only with single carburettors and are thus considered by many to be less
desireable than the earlier BS1, despite the slight power increase.

Lovely to drive, refined, rusty very fast! (Nick, UK)
I'm located in Australia and was introduced to Fiat's through my Father who bought a Fiat 132s 1800 in 1973.
could experience serious rust or structural faults if not undercoated at the FIAT dealer at time of inception.
The body was designed in-house by Fiat, using the mechanicals
of the Spider (1438cc 90bhp), but on the 2420mm wheelbase of the saloon.

Other Variants
The 124 was also used by a variety of Italian
coachbuilders as the basis of both one-off show cars and limited production
runs.
Later that year,
at the Turin Motorshow, the 124 Station Wagon was also released (accompanied
by the Sport Spider, see below).
The Fiat 124 still gives me a thrill every time I drive it and always puts a smile on your face when you drive through those fantastic winding roads in the country side.
Most structural problems are a result of the cars not being undercoated by FIAT before shipping to the U.
