New Fiat Owner

[farleypug]

I just want to say hey to everyone. I'm new to this site and Fiats in general. I've restored several cars, but this is the first non American Car I have owned. My boss kept trying to sell it to me and finally I caved to the pressure and handed over the $1,300 bucks. It's a 1976 124 with 85,000 miles and shipped here (Michigan) from Florida. It actually still has the Florida plates. I drove it home 60 miles and it ran perfect. I just rebuilt the carb and am getting it dialed in. It's been repainted at some time and the job done is average in my opinion. It's had body work done but I'm not exactly sure. It is has no rust underneath and is still black. The interior is black and in mint condition other than 1 small crack in the dash. I figured I would post a pic for anyone interested. I'm sure I will be asking for help on something down the road. Thanks

sweet! sound like you got it for a steal.

wow, what a steal. I'm very jealous haha. That's awesome. Congratulations!

I appreciate it guys. It's a 20 footer for sure. But for the price, it was a decent deal. It is a fun car to drive. I have a 1971 K5 Blazer that this car would fit under and they look funny together.

Amazing deal! Beware - these cars are addicting! Welcome to the forum and know that there's no such thing as a dumb question...only dumb answers.
