As for the clutch - Disc and pressure plate are new (within the last year or so). No worry about a 25 year old rubber part (at least in the clutch itself)!!
I've had this car for about 5 years now and I've put about $1500 into it overall with a starting investment of $1.00 - It was given to me on the premise that I wouldn't turn it into a racer. The motor is still sound, good compression, doesn't smoke, and will pull all the way through about 7000 - really comes alive about 4500. It's my youngest son's car (19+) and once I get the right rear quarter panel straighten (came that way), we may throw some fresh paint on it and run it until he finishes college (my plans - anyway).
I really enjoy these little cars, and would welcome another one, but I'd have to do something with the two mid 70's fiat 124's I have in my garage as well. They're just a fun  |
