Fiat FIAT 126 P, (1979)
for sale

Price: US $3,500.00

Description:

IT IS AN 1989 FIAT 126 P, BUT I HAD TO LIST AS 1979 BECAUSE EBAY SYSTEM DID NOT RECOGNIZE THE VIN.
RECENTLY IMPORTED FROM EUROPE. ALL THE DUTIES ARE PAID AND HAS CLEAR SC TITLE. NICE ORIGINAL CONDITION, INTERIOR LOOKS NEW.
After close inspection I found some paint job on the car (front fenders, hood looks original ). Runs and dives smoothly. Nothing wrong, everything works. Needs nothing just a new home.
If you see my other listing (the Lada) which is flawless show car quality (10 on scale of 10), this one is an 8 on scale of 10.
Located in central Florida.
The 126 used much of the same mechanical underpinnings and layout as its Fiat 500 rear-engined predecessor with which it shared its wheelbase, but featured an all new bodyshell closely resembling a scaled-down Fiat 127.
Engine capacity was increased from 594 cc to 652 cc at the end of 1977 when the cylinder bore was increased from 73.5 to 77 mm.[3] Claimed power output was unchanged at 23 PS (17 kW), but torque was increased from 39 N·m (29 lb·ft) to 43 newton metres (32 lb·ft).[3] The 594 cc engines were still available in early 1983 production.
A subsequent increase took the engine size to 704 cc in new restyling model Fiat 126 Bis (1987–1991), with 26 PS (19 kW) of motive power.
In Italy, the car was produced in the plants of Cassino and Termini Imerese until 1979. By this time 1, 352, 912 of the cars had been produced in Italy.
The car continued however to be manufactured by FSM in Poland, where it was produced from 1973 to 2000 as the Polski Fiat 126p. Even after the introduction of the 126 Bis (a 126p with water-cooled 704 cc engine of indigenous Polish construction), the original model continued to be produced for the Polish market. The car was also produced under licence by Zastava in Yugoslavia. In 1984, the 126 received a facelift, giving it plastic bumpers (for all versions) and a new dashboard. This model named Fiat 126p FL. In 1994, the 126p received another facelift, and some parts from the Fiat Cinquecento, this version was named 126 EL. The 126 ELX introduced a catalytic converter.
