It’s no secret, I like wagons. A lot. So, when I stumbled upon this unique and clean Californian beauty I had no choice but to feature it on Market Meet. It’s highly likely this is the nicest restored 1976 Fiat 128 Wagon you’ll find in the US…perhaps the world. And you can buy it here on Ebay.
The paint is new and was sprayed inside and out with the original factory color Giallo Limone. It looks stock on the outside, but a few tasteful modifications have been made. Fiat X1/9 and custom fabricated components were used to subtly lower it a bit. And, the massive US spec bumpers have been replaced with 1976-78 Fiat X1/9 single bars with ends.
The black vinyl interior is original, complete and looks great.
Though compacted, the engine compartment looks clean and fantastic. The SOHC 1116 cc straight-4 put out approximately 65HP when new. The seller did a complete engine service including a valve job and a new timing belt. Most impressively, it passed California’s infamous smog test.
Who would spend tens of thousands of dollars restoring a two door Fiat grocery getter? A Nor-Cal Fiat specialist – and I’m glad he did. This little box is solid. But I’m not sure about the price. So, what do you think? Is the BIN price of $10,000 too much, or is it absolute bargain?
Winner!!
No sale!
My first car was an Orange 1972 Fiat 128 wagon, way back in 79 in San Diego. The car was tough, I drove it hard,.. real hard. Did Burn outs with front wheel drive to entertain friends, LOL. Anyways, that car taught me all about synchro dogs in the transmission. I went through a few electric fuel pumps, several distributor caps. Great mileage. Wish I had one now.
Thanks, Eric!
