Looks like it got jaundice with the headlamps, and I don't care for the side pipes. What was wrong with the Ford 289 engine?

Complimenti alla driver che guida con cambio manuale, FIAT 128 versione USA! 😝 comunque guidare un auto senza targhe in California é possibile? In Italia ti arrestano subito😂 Ciao bellissimo restauro

In the early 80's I had a 1978 128 4 door. My father painted it red on the top and beige on the lower half. It looked great. New York City roads took a toll on the suspension and I lost my front control arm during a turn right in the middle of an intersection. The car was so light I got a couple of neighborhood guys to just pick it up and park it. I wish i never got rid of it. So much fun.

That is a great looking original car, I would love to have it. I had a 1973 128 2 door in 1977 when I was 16. My brother purchased it new and drove it to college. I still have the window sticker. Great little car, handled great. Not a rocket ship which may have been a good thing for a 16 year old. Sold it a year later for a 72 Nova with a V8

Good thing it is in California, because they were rusting on the way over, I think. You hardly ever saw a Fiat with a good body where I live. Seemed that nothing could save them.

When these were being sold in the US, I loved the look of them This one the 124, the little rear engine one the 650 coupe and spyder, the Strada. I bought a 124 in 1974, but it was not a good car at all. By the time it had 28,000 miles on it I had replaced the high/low beam switch. It had a two- piece driveshaft with a center carrier bearing that needed to be replaced and at that 28,000 mile mark, it blew a head gasket. so, I sold it. What was once the local Fiat dealer is now a hearing center.

5:44 That suspension works amazingly! I still drive the copy of this car - Zastava Skala 55, which is the last production year, 2008 and i assure you the suspension is great, but not this great. Those Zastava "copies" had Fiat engine in the beginning, when it was called Zastava 101 and those Fiat engines are know to be the best by far, it could push the car over 160 kmh (100 mph) and later models with Zastava 55 engines could only do 135 kmh (84 mph). Fiat engine was also had higher quality and lower fuel consumption. What i didnt expect is that exhaust sound that is known with Zastava model, i dinnt know its also with the original Fiat (that buzzing sound above 2500 rpm like there is a crack in the exhaust).

I would love to buy a gorgeous old car, that had completely modernized engine, transmission, steering, suspension, and safety. I'd love to own a replica, esthetically, but a nice reliable Lexus underneath because that thing, is a POS. A Very pretty POS, but there ain't nothing worth keeping under that hood. That being said, Richard Carpenter is a god damn musical genius. While I think his love of cars is misguided, the man is on musical Mt Rushmore alongside Brain Wilson, Marvin Gaye, the Beatles, Hendrix and Jimmy Page.

I had a 79 short box W150 Power Wagon, 4x4 360 4sp NP 435 transmission NP 203 full time four wheel drive. When off road you would lock the transfer case and the truck was unstoppable by far the best off road truck I've ever owned. I used it to explore the Upper Peninsula of Michigan and the Arrowhead of Minnesota year round as long as the tires had traction it would go anywhere.

My dad’s dad had the 65 long bed, he couldn’t wear it out nor could my grandma by repeatedly backing into it when leaving the house in her Vega, so gave it to my dad, who also couldn’t wear it out so handed it to me. We dropped an overhauled straight 6 in it though it still could have kept going. The tranny and everything else stayed original. Snuck my girlfriend out of her mom’s house one night and ended up being chased out in the desert and had to slide down a 20+ foot loose embankment on its belly. Truck didn’t even blink. We took the old gas line road which was more a rocky channel for rain runoff than it was a road and hauled ass outta there while there little cars weren’t up to the challenge. By hauled ass I mean 8000 rpm at 75 mph because of the low gear ratios 😂. I learned from my dad how to pack bearings, do brakes etc on that truck.
