Yea, I remember that. I worked for a Fiat Dealer for a couple of weeks.
There was a fenced in area behind the dealer where they dumped the 850's that
had literally rusted in half. The X-19 was a real b*^%h to work on, but boy
would the 2000 haul a**!

Hi Joe,
I almost bought a Fiat 850 Spyder in great shape for $1900 last fall. In
researching it I found that dealers had to buy back many of them because they
rusted so bad in the Midwest. I bought 4 Mk1 Spitfires instead for the same
price.
