True Classic
Wow, this car is a blast!
After trying to sell it for parts, then spending the winter / summer rebuilding it I have finally got it on the road. The car is an absolute hoot to drive... revs easy, handles great, and has to be driven around at 3-4K rpm in todays environment to stay "in the power" (but loves it). suspension is soft over bumps but handles wonderfully.. now I know what you guys are talking about.
I never got this enjoyment from our lemons car because the race-environment doesn't allow the same pleasures
After driving several other cars from the 70's era I must admit it is the easiest to drive and best overall handling car I have driven from that generation. US cars are too soft, Porsche's have weird ergonomic quirks, fiat really nailed it with the x.
