Hello...new member from Kentucky/1972 850 Spider

Post by jerrylg2 »

Hello everyone...and thanks for such a nice site! This is my first venture into the world of Fiat - I'm taking delivery of a nice 1972 850 Spider any day now (wiring being repaired). The year 1972 is special as it is the same year as my first car (at age 16 - a Ford). Now, I'm almost 50 and the Spider - which my wife and I discovered at a local garage sale(!) - is red...my wife is starting to worry! :-) I look forward to learning more from this site - and contributing whenever I can, of course. Best wishes...Jerry

Welcome! I had two 850s as my first Fiats. Great little cars, simple as the Wright Brothers' airplane to work on. You're gonna love it.

As mentioned earlier, these are really easy to work on.
