Hello to all. My first was a '79 I bought within the first two weeks I was stationed in Northern Italy. I had it for all 4 years I was there. This 2nd one is an '84 Paninfarina and I bought from a co-worker in June '05. She had brought it from Dallas to El Paso about 11 years ago and put a whole 1,100 miles on it during that time. It now has just over 51,300 miles. I've removed the original cocoa carpeting and replaced with a heavy, deep black. I am also replaceing the tan vinyl top w/new deep black Hartz cloth. Just dropped it off yesterday for new Paint. Though it was always kept in a garage, burlap sacks were placed on it for protection and her cats often used it as a bed. So, much of the coat was rubbed off on the high spots. I just received new suspension parts for all the bushing and such and will soon have that all ready also. Putting the less than 200 miles on it since I bought has brought back many pleasant memories of it's homeland.

Thanks for reading,

Robert Davidson

welcome, sounds like it'll be a great car. If it has the original timing belt on it, you may want to replace it before you put many miles on it
