Fiat 128 Submodels
The Fiat 128 was a revolutionary car when it launched in 1969. It pioneered a front-engine, front-wheel-drive layout with a transverse engine and unequal-length driveshafts, a setup that became the standard for small cars globally. Designed by Dante Giacosa, its brilliant packaging created a spacious interior within a compact footprint. It was so influential that it won the European Car of the Year award in 1970 and inspired a generation of competitors.
Collectors appreciate the 128 for its historical significance and its nimble, engaging driving dynamics. It's a simple, lightweight car that delivers a pure driving experience. While the standard sedan and wagon are charming, enthusiasts often seek out the sportier models like the Rally, Sport Coupé, and the 3P Berlinetta hatchback. These cars are quite rare in the US, especially in rust-free condition, which drives their appeal.
Buying Tips
- Rust is the primary concern. Check the floors, sills, wheel arches, shock towers, and the areas around the front and rear glass for corrosion.
- The SOHC engine is robust, but verify the timing belt has been changed recently. Head gasket failures can occur, so check for oil and coolant mixing.
- On a test drive, listen for clicking from the front wheels during tight turns, which indicates worn CV joints. Check for weak synchros in the gearbox, particularly on the 1st to 2nd shift.
- Mechanical parts are available from specialists, but trim, interior pieces, and specific body panels for models like the Sport Coupé are very difficult to source. Prioritize finding a complete, solid car.
