Hello from Washington

[jjmcs1]

While looking for a motorcycle on craigslist, I decided to see what kind of classic I could pic up for a grand.... well, I came across a 78' 124 black on red. Wasn't sure about Fiats, and with a little research, I knew I was on to something. Heck, they've been around a lot longer then most car companies. Anyway, great to see so much interest in these cars. As you all know, one drive and you kinda get hooked.

Yeah.... not sure the best way to respond... edit or make a new post. Good ol Washington state... one of the best places to get lost hiking. I'm up near Everett, and as soon as I figure out how to post pics... I'll do it.

Anyone know if they made a mid 78' with the 79' door handles... I'm thinking my doors are off a 79... but who knows it could be a 79 titled as a 78.

Welcome to the site. Hope you have pics to show. Guys around here get cranky when you don't share. Funny, but I found my 72 while looking for a Chevy truck in the Trading Post. I had owned a Fiat years earlier and it never crossed my mind to buy another one until I saw the ad.

Welcome to the forum. Is it Washington state you're from? If so, what part? There's a pretty active group in the Renton and Kent area, let us know and we can hook you up if you want to join others with similar passions.

I am from the state of insanity, and therefore would really like to know what state you are from as well.

or, is that Washington DC?

and, yup. I am a cranky one.

welcome.

welcome. It sounds like you got a bargain if your car is a good runner for a grand

Hello JJ

I too have just aquired a spider and it's a 82 And might be getting a 80 soon. I find that the cars have not changed much since they were first made so if you are In the state of Washington and close to the Oregon border down by Longview Wa. ,,give me a hollar and we can compare our new toys side by side .. Anyway ,,Welcome to the forum and hope to hear more about your new adventure.. LD
