After close inspection I found some paint job on the car (front fenders, ood looks original ). Runs and dives smoothly. Nothing wrong, verything 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), his 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, ut featured an all new bodyshell closely resembling a scaled-down Fiat 127.
Engine capacity was increased from 594cc to 652cc at the end of 1977 when the cylinder bore was increased from 73.5 to 77mm.[3] Claimed power output was unchanged at 23PS (17kW), ut torque was increased from 39N·m (29lb·ft) to 43 newton metres (32lb·ft).[3] The 594cc engines were still available in early 1983 production.
A subsequent increase took the engine size to 704cc in new "restyling" model Fiat 126 Bis (1987–1991), ith 26PS (19kW) of motive power.
In Italy, he 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 704cc engine of indigenous Polish construction), he original model continued to be produced for the Polish market. The car was also produced under licence by Zastava in Yugoslavia. In 1984, he 126 received a facelift, iving it plastic bumpers (for all versions) and a new dashboard. This model named Fiat 126p FL. In 1994, he 126p received another facelift, nd some parts from the Fiat Cinquecento, his version was named 126 EL. The 126 ELX introduced a catalytic converter.
