There was a Fiat dealer across the street from my high school. They had 128 sedans and wagons, 124 two door, four door and wagons, as well as the popular spiders. Just before bailing on the US, they had the 131 sedans as well and a couple of ones I can't remember the designations of. Cool cars, but with shim type valve adjusting, not something for the average garage mechanic to tackle. Jeff '67 Sqbk, who wanted a Sqbk first, but settled for the 128 two door, until a 'mechanic' "fixed" with the transmission and it had to go. I lucked into my Sqbk at a dealer. It was a trade-in with popping heads, they didn't really want to mess with it, so I got it for $550, in 1978. -----Original Message----- > Fiat 128s were sold here in the US, in at least 2 different forms.

I thought only the "plentiful" spyder 124 and the 131 sedan sold in the US. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org
