For some reason, American car shoppers in 1980 mostly chose Corollas, 810s, and RX-7s over Stradas, Bravas, and X1/9s, in spite of Fiat offering up to 400 bucks off the sticker price! More »

Amid the souped-up Subarus and maxed-out Mitsubishis one of the fastest street-legal cars in Israel is actually a 10-second Fiat X1/9 powered by a heavily modified 2.0-liter Lancia Integrale motor. The Middle East is crazier than you thought. More »

When you're in Tennessee and you have a Fiat X-1/9 parked next to a Ford F350, what do you do? Why, you combine them, of course! This 351M-powered creation needs some work to be a reliable daily driver (the brakes don't work, the fuel is kept in an old air tank, the engine runs badly because it's "cold natured" and so on), but the seller makes it clear that this Monster X-1/350 is a "real head turner." We'd have to agree with that statement, and (given that $1,001 didn't meet the reserve price) we think it should be possible to make an offer this guy won't refuse.
