1972 fiat 600

1972 Fiat Other Description

A head turning car for sure, non rust body, Abarth look alike with insignia and racing stripes. Runs out very strong, I've had 3 of these and this ones undoubtedly gives extra pull at the end of a gear change. White wall tires and wheels look amazing and there is a completely new interior kit that has never been installed. These cars get a lot of attention at a car show. Folks run past a Corvette to see their childhood memory of when they tried to put 8 boys inside. Everyone loves the strange rear engine/radiator placement and fan belt pass along from the generator to the water pump/fan, odd and very reliable,,, some 4.5 million of these cars were built from 1955 to 1974 I believe. In fact the car was so popular it has been built in 6 different countries! Spain even had a 4 door taxi cab version. This car is sure to increase in value as it has become a cultural icon in much of the world, including the UK, Spain, and of course Italy. I have a 2 inch stack of documentation, mostly written in Italian, it shows the consistency of past owners diligence in preserving this little giant cars history and heritage. Have a clean Florida title. A classic car going up in value, with show stopping attributes at 40 mpg, and stores in the smallest of garages, WOW!! and its priced under $20K.
