Barn Find Zastava 850 – Will It Ever Start? Not a Fiat 600 | Half-Restored Classic Revival!

Welcome back to Old Skull Garage! This time, I’m bringing you an exciting barn find episode, featuring a Zastava 850—a car often mistaken for a Fiat 600. This rare classic has been partially restored, repainted, but sadly left neglected in a storage unit for years. Now, I’ve taken on the challenge of bringing it back to life! After purchasing the car, my first attempt to start it on-site was a complete failure. So, I had no choice but to move it into a garage for a second attempt. Things didn’t get easier—after changing the coil, playing with the points, and troubleshooting ignition issues, the starter motor gave up completely! That meant yet another repair before I could even attempt another start. Will this Zastava 850 ever roar back to life? The only way to find out is to watch the full video! 🔹 This episode is sponsored by FitVille—check out their great footwear!
