WWJSD? I would totally take it to LeMons if there was one close to me. Fiats do have an extensive racing history, why wouldn’t I want to Hoon the hell out of it?
I wouldn’t even paint it. That patina is exquisite! And the seller only wants $600 for it.
Ok so there are a few minor issues, such as lack of an engine but somebody out there probably has an engine they could donate to the cause.
What say you fellow Hoons? Who wants to form a Hooniversal LeMons Team?

i say park it in your livingroom.
Yes, do it Eike style.
Ha! I had a conversation not long ago about parking Eleanor in my dining room. It would be a perfect fit. I think the Fiat would go well in the kids room and they could sleep in it. That reminds me, I need to make sure they are up to date on their tetanus shots.
That's delicious. I would totally leave it as is, drop in a suitable engine — maybe even a 1098cc Fiat unit for that extra bit of
reliabilityperiod correctness and drive it around town.The LeMons alternative is interesting, too. Maybe a mafia theme? No, too easy. Maybe a Federal Reserve Bank theme. Hmmm…that has promise. Talk the seller down to $400, throw in any old $100 junkyard engine, and go racing!
1098cc… $100 Junkyard engine… hmm.
This could work.

Ohhhh, this is nice. Look at that patina. I bet you could get the seller down to $400. Just remark about the grass growing, er, everywhere. And the spare hanging out in the center stack.
the patina is superb. looks race ready to me! sell the glass to a collector to buy an engine??
I especially like the pile of poo next to the passenger door. (in the foreground)
