Italian car.
Scott,
See if you can find an older Countach or a 512 boxer. You can bring it back here when you return home and clean up on it. Brian. |

Viva La Frogs!
While you're still stateside, grab an old London Fog, and prep to get your Peugeot 403 like Colombo did

Ive owned a few Quattro's including a GT when i was a kid...im 6'1" and 225...well i was...and i really enjoyed the cars...tons of room..4 big adults fit easy....i really liked them, but went thru a time when i refused to drive anything but a traditional US car...so i quit buying them..
they have to be cheap over there....and are well driving, fuel efficient and easy to maintain..i would at least look at them a little before id count one out...some are pretty sexy..some are mundane...but a turbo stick car can be very fun

She seems to think an Italian car would be preferable; I think I can accommodate that -- Fiat Dino Coupe, Alfa Romeo GTV 1750/2000, Lancia Fluvia, etc. If I end up with something modern, the Lancia Delta Integrales are pretty sweet AWD turbo cars with a great racing pedigree. Also looking like I'm bringing the 68 GTO convt over, too. Just a weekend driver. Thanks Scott

Do not take a pontiac. Bring something you can use daily, is marketable and sell it there when you leave. New Dodge hemi pickups are popular there. You probably get detax fuel so fuel economy doesn't matter but I recently rented a new hemi crew 8speed and got 21mpg on a 800 mile trip, driving 70mph. Way more fun than any euro POS grocery getter and you don't need to deal with any local mechanics!

stick with Pontiac
Sorry for beeing a 'party pooper' but , I would advice you to keep your Pontiac and stay away from old Italian exotic cars .
They will turn your car dreams into nightmares and clean out your bank account etc. Have a save tour . Bob. |

What does a DeTomaso Pantera go for over there these days?
I always liked the Fiat Spiders (pre Pininfarina), like the early 70s 124s. Carb and ignition issues are fixed easily and then you have a great little Italian roadster. |

A Dodge Ram 1500 would be a real b*tch to maneuver in Naples on a daily basis. Roads are tight, parking spots tiny, traffic is chaotic, etc. Really need something smaller as a daily driver. Thanks

Appreciate the input. If I bring over my 68 GTO, I'm probably going to end up with something more modern (Lancia Delta Ingegrale?). If I don't bring over the GTO, I'll likely end up with a beater and a nice older Italian car (Alfa Romeo GTV, Dino coupe, etc). Could still be expensive, but I won't be using it for everyday transportation. Thanks

The Lancia Delta Integrale is a cool car no doubt. A road going version of a very successful rally car with plenty of power. I seen a few about these parts years ago but they were as rare as hens teeth. The basic Delta was sold here too and there used to be plenty of them. None left now though. All rotted away and scrapped. They were sold as a small family hatchback but aside from the usual rust problems of the time they were known for being unreliable with very dodgy electrics. Honestly, I would be wary of eighties Fiat based cars.

Whatever you get, buy some extra side view mirrors.......by the case.
Streets are narrow, and no one cares. Plus the swarms of scooters are thicker than the mosquitoes (which are bad as well).
