Me too!
It was in 1980, bought the 1969 Fiat 124 Sport Coupe for $400 and it came with a second 124 for parts. The car was all kinds of rusty and I worked all summer with a body guy. We riveted sheet metal over the rust holes, the chrome headlight rings were trashed so he just bondo'd over the recess.
I sandblasted the rims and painted them silver.
Painted it GM Midnight Blue and it looked fine to me. Monza exhaust, Alpine stereo, DOHC, twin webers, 5 speed...car ran like stink. Actually, it was fairly slowish, but sounded awesome.
So much fun.
Traded it to a buddy for 2 cars. A '68 Mustang coupe and a '73 Gran Torino.
'Stang was a solid car, Torino had a trashed 351 Cleveland. Pulled that and installed a 302 Boss.
