Hey Folks,
Back in the day I owned a '76 X and am always "sort of" looking to buy another. I'd actually prefer an earlier carb'd model that I could more easily hotrod (again) with dual Webers, stroker, etc. However, the few nice ones I see for sale are usually Bertones. I wouldn't necessarily rule out a FI version and just be satisfied to make a few basic improvements such as a cam, head work, a bump in CR, etc.
How much better is the quality of the later Bertone models compared to the earlier FIAT X's? If they were substantially improved, in what ways? Do they feel like a much more "expensive" car in the way they drive?
Also, A/C and other "luxury" features are not important (or desirable) to me; what model years should I be looking for?
Thanks!
Larry
