Later ones were badged Bertone. U may want to try searching under that name. OR if that's the style of car you want, follow your screen name and get yourself a Porsche 914. A '73 2.0 is the best of the 4 bangers. the 914-6 of 70-71s are much harder to find and more $$ for sure.

x 1/9 suck, too much understeer. if you want a fiat get a late 84 or 85 124 spider sold under the pina farina badge or find a early 80's turbo spider.

Remember to fill it with gas when you get it...that will make it double in value

Rot, Rot, be prepared to replace all rotten metal with bondo. Trouble is, it will then weigh more than a caddy and the rotten frame will break in half. <gg> Too bad, they were cool little cars.

I had a Turbo Espirit...it will be much faster than the Fiat, about as reliable, and worth almost as little.

Like a lot of italian imports.... they rotted away quickly... coupled with NO Factory support.... That is why you may only find one in Southern California, and even here.... they are rare. You might try searching for a club and seeing if anyone has one for sale. They are about as desirable as a Lancia Scorpion ( Monte Carlo in europe), or a Lancia Beta... another joke Italian car.
