Cool. Looking forward to the pics. A 1972 rust-free anything is worth a look see.

Realist. I saw it today, and we tried to get it running. Think it has a bad ignition switch. Its actually in pretty good shape, minus the front seats anc fabric 4 the top. Its all there. Alll the trim is there, steering wheel is broken and need replacing. Did find one tiny spot of rust under the front bonnet, but het the things nearly 40 years old. The best untouched body on an 850 Ive seen yet. And there are such things as rust free Fiats. My 70 is rust free because it was garage kept.
