I just picked up my first Fiat. I would tell you what I paid but you would all storm my house and burn it down in jealousy. Anyhow. I had a guy call me to pick up a car for scrap and asked what I would give him. I gave him a price and he agreed. When I got there I was dumbfounded when I saw what it was. He said he was moving due to his job and had to be out of the house the next day and the car had to go.
It is a downright adorable 72 Fiat 850 Sport. It came with a new top and good seats that need to be installed. I drained the old coffee colored gas yesterday and filled it with fresh, tossed in my Optima yellow top and it fired right up. It needs to be tuned up and is in desperate need of a bath and a wax but it is a nice little car.
I haven’t decided if I am going to keep it or sell it yet. Since I am 6’3” and 275 pounds it doesn’t exactly fit me. But for now it is fun to play with.
Here are some pice of the day I brought it home. I was in a hurry to get it covered up because it was threatening to rain and the car has no top.

 

drop a ls1 with a turbo!

lol cute car

 

HA the little 4 banger barely fits in it.

 

turbo v6? lol

 

That might fit. Would be fun to drive.

 

hell yeah. ****, a forged 4banger with a turbo would be fun

 

the little bugger only weighs 1600 pounds like it sits. It moves fairly well with its 52hp engine. I think addine another 100 or so horses would be a good thing. Although it woudl definately need a tire upgrade. Those skinny little things on it now would shred.

 

FWD or RWD?

hate to say it.....FWD get a b18 with a turbo or convert it to rwd and vortec v6

 

rear engine rwd.

 

b18 turbo or v6!
