Hi not a car yet but looking

Post by nasachris »

Still doing research on them. Thanks for this forum! Is there a sticky that is a buyers guide of some sort?

Thanks!

Welcome to the forum!

A "buyer's guide" is a matter of opinion. It really depends on what you want - restoration candidate, driver, show piece, auto-cross, "investment," etc. Some folks don't like the tube-bumper cars and prefer the pre-'75 series. Others recommend the reliability of fuel injection (although it can be finicky, too). As for price, you'll see a wide range on that, too. Again it depends on what you want to do with the car (restore, drive, show,...).

Here's a couple of sites you can check out that may help:

http://www.mirafiori.com/124index/tableof.htm (a bit dated but still good info)

Other forum members may have some ideas and links, too. Hopefully they'll add their 2-cents! :)

Good luck!
