I never saw one that lasted more than 3 or 4 years in the rust belt. Not enough time for the de contented Fiat 128 to show the effects of sunlight exposure on the interior parts. Interesting that adjusted for inflation it sold for just slightly under its list price of $3995.00 in 1988. Adjusted for inflation it would have listed for around $10,000 today. It sold for $9001.00
Are there no bounds around money-laundering anymore? Or maybe the buyer figured that he was saving nine grand on future safety and emissions inspections otherwise levied on technically-complicated brand new vehicles? He might have a F.I.A.T. wreck ready for donating a 1500 cc version of that single cammer with vintage Bosch fuel injection to drop in, though
There's often even an @$$ cheek for every seat. I wonder, if money laundering played a role, in this one
