Up for auction is a head turning 1965 Fiat 500 F for you to enjoy this summer!  This is a running car and is ready to be driven.

This has an upgraded engine, 650cc.  This gives it plenty of power to cruise the back roads at 55 mph with ease and enjoyment.  Has front seat belts, aftermarket steering wheel, and a sharp looking interior.

History.  I bought this 4 years ago from a man in Texas who bought it in Italy while stationed there .  I am unsure if he had the engine upgrade, interior, and paint done at his request or if it was like that when he purchased it.  The only thing I have done is cleaned the carb/replaced float and put a new starter on it over the last 4 years.  I am selling the car because I am moving out of the country and am cannot take the car with me.  I bought this car on eBay after searching literally for years to find the "right one", so here is your chance to purchase a nice example of a classic 500.

This is a solid car.  Mechanically the car is great, fires right up, and handles well.  Paint is older and has some chips, scratches and some spidering.  However from pictures you can see overall looks great (won best Fiat at the 2011 and 2012 "Italian Gathering" car show in Ohio).  Interior condition is pictured.  There is some wear on carpet in particular near top of gas pedal.  Keys for doors and ignition, no key for engine lid lock.  Some scratches on glass.  I got caught in the rain once on way to a car show and realized it could use some new door seals; but since this is a nice weather car for me, I never bothered replacing.  Turn signal relay works intermittently and you may want to swap it out.  Note, odometer states 74966 km, title lists mileage as "exempt"; I am unsure of mileage since rebuild.

Car is located about 30 min outside Dayton, Ohio.  Car is available for inspection by you or your mechanic.  This car is sold as is with no warranty expressed or implied.  I have a clear title in hand.

$1000 nonrefundable deposit due via paypal within 24 hrs of auction close.  Full payment due within 3 days.  The price of shipping of the car and all the shipment planning/details are the full responsibility of the buyer.

If you have any questions, you can contact me by phone, evenings no later than 10 pm eastern please, 937.319.6129.

Fiat celebrates 30 years of Panda 4x4 with Antartica edition [w/poll]

Wed, 04 Sep 2013

Typically, 4x4s are rather large affairs, but the Fiat Panda stands resolutely against the trend. And what's more, it's done just that for 30 years now, over the course of which Fiat has rolled out three successive generations and sold over 400,000 examples of the little off-roader that could. So to celebrate three decades of the Panda 4x4, Fiat is rolling out this special edition.
Called the Fiat Panda 4x4 Antartica, it's set to debut next week at the Frankfurt Motor Show alongside a new Black Code trim for the Freemont (known to us as the Dodge Journey) and an anniversary edition Abarth 595. Fiat has based this special edition on the Panda 4x4 Rock and upgraded it with two-tone paint, 15-inch diamond-finish alloys, orange trim, fog lights, tinted glass and special badging. Inside, it's got gray and orange upholstery, and European buyers can order it up with either the 85-horsepower 900cc TwinAir engine or the 75hp 1.3-liter diesel.
A limited run will reach European showrooms by the end of the year. But we wonder... should Fiat consider bringing the Panda Stateside to share floor space with the diminutive 500? Have your say in our informal poll below, and feel free to read through the press release, too.

Dodge, Jeep and Ram could soon be owned by Chinese automakers

Mon, Aug 14 2017

For the past several years, Fiat Chrysler CEO Sergio Marchionne has made it widely known that the automaker he helms is up for grabs. First, he sent an email to GM CEO Mary Barra, who immediately refused to even discuss a merger. Later, Marchionne set his sights on Volkswagen. That too was swiftly rebuffed. It seemed like no global automaker was remotely interested in a partnership. Now, Automotive News reports that several Chinese automakers have come calling, only FCA isn't ready to answer. At least not yet. The news broke this morning that a major Chinese automaker had made an offer to purchase FCA for slightly above market value. FCA refused, saying the offer wasn't quite generous enough. It's unclear which automaker made the offer, but Automotive News says there's more than one interested party. FCA representatives have recently traveled to China to meet with Great Wall Motors, while Chinese representatives were seen at FCA corporate headquarters in Auburn Hills, Mich. The Chinese government has a lot of money invested in local automakers. It's putting pressure on these automakers to expand globally, including to the United States. As it stands, it's a matter of when a Chinese automaker will start selling cars here, not if. Purchasing an established automaker with a wide range of products and a huge dealer network would do wonders in giving the Chinese a foothold here. Sure, Geely owns Volvo, but a luxury automaker doesn't have nearly as much reach as a more mainstream company like FCA. This seems like the best case scenario for both a Chinese automaker looking to move into the U.S. and for FCA, at least from a business standpoint. The latter doesn't seem to have any other interested parties. It will be interesting to see how FCA would sell a deal like this to the public. We're not sure everyone will be happy with Dodge, Jeep and Ram falling under Chinese ownership. FCA didn't turn down the Chinese because they didn't like the idea. It turned down the offer because there wasn't enough money on the table. Related Video: News Source: Automotive News Earnings/Financials Alfa Romeo Chrysler Dodge Fiat Jeep RAM

Fiat 500 least safe vehicle to drive according to insurance website [w/video]

Wed, 30 Jan 2013

When the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety crashed a 2012 Fiat 500, the little car got the best scores in all categories. It's a safe car, then, right?
"If safety is a priority, you should avoid the smallest cars," advises Russ Rader, spokesperson for IIHS. "Weight counts. Smaller, lighter cars are safer than they used to be, but all things being equal, people riding in bigger, heavier vehicles get more protection in crashes."
That's why, despite its near-perfect crash-test score, the Fiat 500 is No. 1 on Insure.com's list of worst vehicles for protecting passengers from injuries. In an accident with a larger object, the Fiat's safety cage and array of air bags do what they can to protect passenges, but like eggs in a coffee can, the passengers get thrown about and smashed up.
