1976 Fiat 128 Wagon. I talked to the guy it is running and he wants $900 for it.

Pretty much any vintage Fiat sedan or wagon is very high on my want list.

It isn't far anyway from you at all.

If it was a sedan, I'd be all over it.

Ooooh, questionable italian hardware half a country away. That sounds like a BABE rally in itself.

I say, suspension, wheels, R compounds, box flares = cool wagon!

That + F2T + RX7 bellhousing + B2200 trans = hoon of the year award.

I know where I can get the bellhousing right this very second, and there's plenty of rotten b2200's in the JY around here......

The 128 is FWD, so all you need is the complete FWD F2T drivetrain to drop in the front...or back .

I definitely don't have one of those sitting in a black mx6 on purple steelies and winter tires in my posession right now.... Damn, how much are plane tickets to ATL?

If I was buying a 128, I think my models of choice would be the 128 Coupe (2 door or 3 door) followed by the wagon...which is really a 3 door hatchback, not a wagon, and a 2 door sedan.

If a car needs a distributor cap and/or alternator...it runs, but i would think not too well?

I am guessing not. I am trying to decide if this vehicle would hold me over until I bought a truck... I mean I could fit parts in the back.

I used to race a 1972 128 Sedan. Fun little car, great handling when set up properly (cheap to do). Check to make sure that it's not rusty where the front sway bar and control arms attach to the front frame. It's the kiss of death if bad. Most parts easy to find and cheap as shares a lot of drivetrain parts with Yugos and the Fiat X1/9. Easy to do bolt-on hop up with X1/9 parts. Pitch the stock carb and bolt on a Weber 32/36. If someone here buys this, drop me a line and I would be happy to help with technical advice.

Just buy it lol, the wagon is way more rare than a sedan anyway.
