I had a 124 sedan with the 1600 twin cam. Body was a bit of a tin can but the mechanicals (engine, transmission, brakes etc) were pretty sweet for their time.

Interesting! Not many in these parts that would know about that stuff. The 1600 must have really made it go and been fun to wind the sn*t out of. The bodies on the Fiats of that era were def. not a strong point. My Abarth 1300 has a factory modified 124 pushrod engine and am building a custom 1600cc engine for it (c/w dual Webers). The Fiat engines & mechanicals of the 60s were pretty interesting & unique.
