X1/9

[J123fs at aol.com]

Mark,
If you ever want to sell the X/1/9 let me know....I too have been  bitten in 
the past with the Fiat bug....or is it disease? And have been looking  for 
decent project here in New England for some time.
I built a 11.5/1bottom end, ported head, Abrath(?)  ported manifold, trick 
carb, cammed motor for once a long time  ago...damm did it wind out! And how! 
Should have never sold my Fiats, or my 69' Buick Riv.....or my.....damm,  I'm 
getting old.
Jack

I still have my first car.... in  pieces!

1987 Bertone (Fiat) X1/9.  I kave a build head and new  transaxle.  I keep
having dreams about making it into a pure race  car.  I doubt it will ever
happen.
