The Fiat 130, average big 4 door executive saloon. But give it to Pininfarina for a re-design into a coupe and the result is amazing
The badge that says a lot about a car! Pininfarina are also coachbuilders and built these cars too
Very obvious this is a car from the 1970's,loads of wood panelling, plush velour seats,right down to the 8 track player
The engine is a 3.2 litre V6, exactly the same engine as found in the Lancia Stratos and Ferrari Dino

A common misconception. It is actually a totally different engine to the one used in the Ferrari/Fiat Dino and Lancia Stratos.
Very true Troy, but there is a relationship & some shared componentry - Aurelio Lampredi, the FIAT engine designer who came up with that lovely twin cam 4 cylinder in the 60s, was given the task of designing a 2.8 (later 3.2) litre V6 for the 130 at the same time he was working on an iron blocked 2.4 litre version of the (previously) all alloy 2 litre Dino V6...hmm, long explanation.
