Just got an '85 Pininfarina Azzurra, 77K miles. Traded my Swedish gal in for a new Italian sweetheart. Actually, straight traded a nice running '99 Saab 93 convertible (187K miles) for my non running project. It was sitting at a small dealership here in Houston for over 7 YEARS! Not running, just rotting. Shame!
After changing out the fuel filter, a couple of fuel hoses and plug wires plus a couple of necessary electrical repairs, it started right up! I then took it out of commission to do a functional restoration. It's currently on jack stands waiting for brakes, shocks, bushings, tires, timing belt, water pump, radiator flush, sprucing up, etc.
It's Corsa Red, Tan interior. Over time, I'm hoping to get it looking like the red Azzurra on this website's site logo. It looks to be the exact same model even down to the wheels.
Can anybody recommend a couple of really good, dependable, not so pricy websites for mechanical and cosmetic parts? I don't mind spending the money so long as I'm not getting ripped off.
Nice to join y'all's club! Below is a photo of it the day I bought it.
