Ah, memories. Had a '69 124 Sport Coupe. Closest thing I ever owned to a sports car and first new car buy. Source of tons of war stories. Remember going to a service adviser at an add-on to a Buick dealership in Milwaukee. Something horrible (there were a lot of 'em) occurred at about 25,000 miles. Asked him "is this normal at 25K?" to which he replied, "Don't know anyone who's kept one that long."
When it ran it was a fun car for the times however.
Memories for sure!... I had a 1972 Fiat 124 Sport Coupe. Great driving car. Only issue was a head gasket @ 79,000 miles. Well, there was rust creeping inwards towards me after 6 years, but Houston does not salt roads. Must have been a real issue up north.
