Hello everyone, and thank you for letting me join this site!
I recently returned to the United States after being stationed (Navy) in Sicily for three years. Surprise surprise, I saw several Fiats there and knew I had to get one for myself. I went to a local Italian used car dealer and he had three 126s, two from the 70's and my white '83. I picked it up, spent a few thousand Euro on brand new interior and enough engine parts to make her run smoothly, especially a brand new transmission and the Monza exhaust. The Americans were more excited about 500's and had a 500 club that I ran with a little bit around Catania and Mt. Etna.
Upon returning to America, I immediately noticed how small this car is in comparison to the American cars and trucks. It receives multiple stares, honks, and questions wherever I go
, and it's not even show-ready! Like any older car, she needs work, mostly body. Hopefully some of the stores in Europe will be willing to ship to America!
