Mine has always been the 037, but the cartoonishly wild styling of the Stratos has been gaining ground.
What is your favorite (non-X1/9) FIAT vehicle?

I have a few!
Fiat Abarth 105TC (I like the look of the bumpers/headlights the best - or a 130TC because - more power!)
Fiat Dino Coupe
Fiat Dino Spider
Fiat 8V
Fiat 128 Sport
Fiat 128 Wagon
Oh and yeah - Fiat Brava 2dr
I did have a 2013 Abarth 500 - I didn't really love it to be honest.
If I had to choose just one? - maybe a Fiat 128 Wagon - there's a member here who has a green one, I think it's nicknamed Split Pea or Green Pea - love that thing!

I was thinking similar to #2 ("SB4"), but a little more like this:
I'm partial to some of the early small sedans and hot hatches, none of which we ever got and are now difficult to find sadly.

I wonder what they do when the ground wire contact gets corroded and the controls start working really slow? Has a pilot ever fallen through the rusted out floor during a high G maneuver? But these aren't real problems because it won't start anyway.

I always liked the 124 sport coupe (late 60's) as a kid in England, however, I've not driven any Fiats besides my Fiat 500 and 850 coupe (as a teen) and my wife's 500 sport. I really have no favorite, although I would like the 500 Abarth. I would base my opinion on how they drive.
Favorites that I own are my ‘78 124 spider. Smoothest, responsive engine ever with 4-2-1 exhaust, performance intake cam and dual IDFs. And, my 128sl ex hill climb racer.
Cars I lust after would be a 750 Zagato and just about any other “thoroughbred” vintage, out of financial reach Fiat.
I would settle for Courtney’s Rally.

Ok, since this is a fun thread it won’t seem like we’re going astray.
This is a car that was pictured in Courtney Waters’ page on mirafiori.com in a section highlighting 128s from around the world.
I only know the history of the car based on info from the seller. Apparently, it was used for hill climb out west (I’m in Alabama) during the ‘80s and ‘90s. There are some campaign badges on the dash with places and dates. I brought the car down from Watkins Glen, NY.
This is a ‘75 128sl, painted red over the original white. It has a 1300 engine with an 1100 head, 34DMTR, header, full roll cage, Corbeau seats, 5-point harnesses. Suspension is stiff. Extra leaf spring and anti-roll bar in the rear. I haven’t checked, but strut inserts were advertised as koni.
The car is a blast to drive. Almost no braking for corners. I went to a performance driving school before doing auto cross the first year I owned it. The instructors kept telling me I had a lot of traction left, basically telling me the car could give a hell of a lot more than I could.
Autocross was fun, but by the next season I was on our farm full time in another county, so the the little red car just sits in a garage waiting for an occasional blast up and down the county roads. It has been a hit at North Alabama car events.
Here’s a photo taken at a Cars and Coffee event I’ve hosted for a local charity since August 2011.
