Our Take:
- Timeless Italian Design: The Fiat 128, introduced in 1969, marked a revolution in small car design with its transversely mounted engine and front-wheel-drive layout. By 1977, this model was not just a sensible choice but also a symbol of Italian flair—compact yet full of personality, much like a classic Vespa but with four wheels.
- 24,000 Original Miles: With just 24k miles, this 1977 Fiat 128 is quite the time capsule. It's rare to find a car this age in such low mileage, making it almost like stepping back in time to when disco was king and "Star Wars" first rolled into theaters.
- Automatic Transmission Rarity: The automatic transmission in this Fiat is a unique find, as the majority of 128s imported into America were manual. Imagine the smooth cruise you could enjoy without the footwork of a third pedal—perfect for leisurely Sunday drives through Pennsylvania's rolling hills.
- Historical Impact: The Fiat 128 was one of the first to employ the "engine-in-front" configuration that set the standard for small cars around the world. In fact, its design principles influenced many future models, including the original VW Golf. This little Italian is more than just a car; it’s a piece of engineering history.
