I am Mark
Hello Everyone...
I just bought my first Fiat, a 1977 124 1800 last week. It was restored and rebuilt by a mechanic from the Boston Area who sadly died in a motorcycle crash two years ago. It was sitting in his father's garage for the last two years before I bought it.
I had a mgb in high school and I have a porsche 814 until about six years ago. I don't understand why I didn't look at these cars when they are new. I really just discovered them two weeks ago. The 124 is already my favorite of the sports cars that I have owned.
The previous owner removed the back seat and put in a bench and had way too much audio gear installed. I already removed it and replaced the seat from Danny at F.I.A.T in Vernon CT.
My car seems to have some upgrades like electronic ignition, custom air filter setup. I am not sure it is the original engine either, I will look in to that a little later when I store it away for the winter. I am trying to enjoy the last few weeks before the weather here in New England forces me to put it away for the winter.
I am looking forward into attending some Fiat Events next year with the car....
Mark
