My friend had a 850 spyder... fun little car.

This car would be a hoot to have and restore... if you had the time and money.

Wasn't that line in another CL ad a few weeks ago? I seem to remember a red (?) clapped out Jeep Cherokee for sale in New Mexico or AZ... That was another great ad.

The oil pan gasket leaks a little bit, instead of making a one piece oil pan gasket, FIAT thought it would be hilarious to make a FOUR PIECE OIL PAN GASKET. The car comes with 2 new oil pan gasket kits so you can laugh along with them.

I had an 850 Spider in high school, never ran, you could watch it rust away in an afternoon. My parents had the junkyard haul it away when I went to college.
