Performance

[tonysfiat]

carpet is original corn row, steering wheel, radio, and mirrors are stock, top has been replaced, still have the original boot top.
No visible wear and tear on interior except for the aforementioned slight tilting of driver seat.
No rust anywhere, doors open true and shut with the neatest sound.

Price sounded high when my son told me, but heck he got it for his old man.

Paid 8K.

Agian will post pics this weekend

thanks

Flywheel? Really? How so?

The flywheel is a heavy piece of metal that sits between the engine and the transmission. Basically, the heavier this is, the more the engine has to work to turn it at different, thus reducing your acceleration/deceleration response (and various other things), I believe some of the vedors sell new lightened flywheels, and also old ones that have been lightened. You can take yours to a machine shop (preferably one Fiat familiar) and have them shave some of the extra metal. AFAIK, there are no adverse effects to this procedure, unless the shop takes too much off, it which case it could break.

Carpeting is original, corn row style, no wear at all.

My son spent 8k on it.

Will try to straighten the seat this winter when I have it off the road.

I will post pics this weekend

Thanks for all comments,

If I find out the miles are not real I am still having a blast driving the car best time with my wife when we get out of the resturant and take back roads home

thanks again

That is keeping the main thing the main thing.

Miles don't matter. Being in your cool car with the top down, with your sweetie is what it is all about.

there is a purpose for the mass of a flywheel

[mdrburchette]

I know of one good thing the heavy flywheel is good for. It keeps the car coasting down the highway with minimal pressure on the gas pedal. This was the first thing I noticed when I swapped mine out for a lighter flywheel. It revs and picks up speed faster, but it doesn't coast as well.
