Here's mine.
Last year of registration was 1987!
It's a '75 California spec 1800cc with the 5 speed. 45000 original miles.
It had changed hands between three friends with none of them getting it to run in the last 12 years.
It arrived on a trailer and once I started tinkering I had it running well enough to test drive it within one hour of starting.
Had to replace the rubber coupler between the filler neck and tank due to rot.
Clean corrosion from the white three wire connector at the starter. Was smoking the black wire.
I've installed a new gasket on the intake and carb due to induction leaks.
Cleaned and adjusted connections on various exterior lamps.
Wiper motor is at a friends shop for IRAN, inspect and repair as needed.
She will need a new top. The one on it is "new" from 11 years ago and time has taken it's toll.
I am going to try and connect the heater lines to the heater core for a test. The core was bypassed on arrival.
I acquired this gem as a trade for labor doing an annual inspection on a plane for a friend
I think I came out on top in this deal.
Once up and running with fresh lube in all the right places, I am going to be using her to commute 90 miles round trip to work and back home on a daily basis. Good thing I'm a mechanic I guess.
I had to hand my Honda Civic over to my 17 yr old so he could get himself to school and home from football practice.
Catch you all around these forums.
The aviation enthusiast side of me like to keep in mind that Ferrari never built a fighter.....
But, Fiat DID!
