Hey, a 1956 Fiat 500 would be it. Just need a shoe horn to get in, ha, ha. Also, make sure it comes from California and never was operated anywhere else.
Seriously,
If the engine wiring harness was replaced, doesn't mean that the Throttle Body wiring is good. Throttle Bodies made before 1996 are most likely equipped with bad wiring and can short out things you rather would not have shorted out. I bought a 95 E320 Sedan, with bare wires, I mean absolutely no insulation at the throttle body. Engine Harness was replaced with a 2002 updated version. The bare wires on the throttle body, actually took out the e-gas computer. To see the extend of the damage, you'll have to cut the sheath from the Throttle boddy and have peek inside. Or, much tougher, if you can see the manufacturing date, you can guess by date. There are other spots in wiring, but the previous are the most important.
