Light Green Fića: 1983 Zastava 750
This next car isn’t a Fiat 600. And the photographs aren’t in Brooklyn. Forgettaboutit. I’ve been to Brooklyn (my Pops grew up playing stickball in the streets of Red Hook) and while the graffiti in the background is not unusual, there is nary a patch of green grass nor a Connecticut style barn for miles around. Maybe the pictures were taken somewhere Upstate (or perhaps in New Jersey) because the seller was certain that the car would be stolen if he stepped far enough away to get a good full frame beauty shot. Anyway, with that out of the way, the car is a Zastava 750, which was a Fiat 600 built under license in Yugoslavia back from 1955 through 1985. Find this 1983 Zastava 750 offered for $14,000 in Brooklyn, NY via craigslist. Tip from Rock On!

Better factor in for shipping, looks like the car is in Kraljevo, Serbia.

That would make sense, probably a lot easier to find in their home country. And it would explain the scenery.
This is the smaller predecessor to the Yugo. I wonder which would have sold better here.
Serbia really looks like CT or Upstate NY to me…but that makes sense. The NY #1 DAD license plate is what tricked me.
3 cylinders ???
Which is why all 4-cylinder cars have more than the average number of cylinders of all small cars. And there’s no way the MX-3 tipped it back over.
