1959 Fiat Bianchina 500 Auto Bianchi
Transformable Parts Offered here is a Bianchina 500 microcar for parts
or project. Auto-Bianchi built the Bianchina based around a
Fiat 500 chassis. The Bianchina used the same Fiat 500 running gear with
the 497cc air cooled twin 2-cylinder engine. 4-speed gearbox. This Bianchina is mostly complete and would be
great for parts or a fun custom project. The car has rusty floors
and rust in some of the body. There has been tree damage done to
the passenger side roof and passenger door section. So it's a good
parts car, but, It could be made into a convertible? Electric?
Volkswagon power? or custom project. Please take a good look at the photos and you can
see all the trim, switches, front seat frames, rear seat cushions and assorted
goodies that are there. I also have parts I will include that are not shown
in the photos, such as, Transaxle, Top bows, Seat upholstery (for
patterns), Horn button, Original matching number engine (dis-assembled, may not
be complete or have all usable parts but I know the nice original crankcase
assembly with matching numbers to the body tag is in nice usable condition.
The lower end crankcase is all assembled and looks good. The cylinders,
pistons, head ??? not so sure of condition, but new replacements for these
parts are available. I should have all the cooling tin, splash pans,
generator and that sort of stuff.) Please remember this car is not 100%
complete, but pretty close. There is some small missing parts, including
mechanical, fasteners and trim stuff. Windshield and passenger door glass were broken
from the tree damage and I do not have replacements for these but the
windshield aluminum trim is there and can be seen in the photo sitting on the
back seat. All 5 tires are old, rotted and flat, includes spare
tire. Bianchina comes with clear California
title (pink slip) in my name, with matching numbers to chassis and engine,
car does not have current registration. A little history on this ’59 Bianchina:
My dad purchased this Bianchina in the early 1960’s for my mom when they were
dating. I rode around in the back of this car when I was
little. My dad installed the shift knob, radio, and tinted visors,
and current tires when he owned it 50 years ago. My folks sold the
Bianchina to a local fellow here in town. He used the car for a few
years then parked it out behind his home in the weeds for the next 17 years
where it acquired most of it’s rust after the top failed. I
purchased the Bianchina from him in the early 1980’s, gave it a spray can paint
job, and used the car here and there over the next few years. It
suffered the tree damage about 10 years ago while being stored up at my parents
house. I am selling this 1959 Bianchina as-is for parts. It
will include signed title and bill of sale. Full payment due within
2-days of end of auction. Payment can be made via Paypal. Buyer to arrange and pay for all
shipping, transporting and handling of this vehicle. Vehicle needs
to be removed within 7-days of end of auction unless other arraingments have
been made with me, and everything must be removed at same time. Thanks so much for bidding on this neat little microcar. |

FCA's new Heritage HUB showcases 250 rare Fiats, Lancias and Alfa Romeos
Fri, Apr 5 2019Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA) has opened a new facility near Turin, Italy, dedicated to preserving and celebrating the company's Italian brands, as well as the historic cars each has created. It's bigger than the average Costco, and it houses more than 250 pieces of automotive art, some of which have never been publicly displayed. It's called the FCA Heritage HUB. The HUB building is itself a piece of history. FCA restored the old Officina 81 in Via Plava of the historic Mirafiori industrial district on the south side of Turin. At 161,459 sqare feet (the average Costco is 145,000 sq ft), it's a massive open space that allows for both business and pleasure. In the rafters, photos and text tell the timeline of Mirafiori, but the floor focuses on Fiat, Lancia, Abarth, and Alfa Romeo. Although part of the space is dedicated to the "Reloaded by Creators" vintage restoration sales department, the portion we're interested in is shown in the massive gallery above. FCA says it has more than 250 vehicles on display, and some have never been shown. The "central area," which explores cars from 1908 to 2008, is separated into eight themes, each of which has eight cars. The eight areas include Archistars, Concept and Personalized Cars, Eco and Sustainable, Epic Journeys, Records and Races, Small and Safe, Style Marks, and The Rally Era. Some of the cars featured at the new shop include the Lancia Lambda, the Fiat 500 Topolino A, the Fiat 130 Familiar, the Fiat X1/23, the Fiat Ecobasic, the Fiat Campagnola AR 51, the Fiat 1100 E, the Fiat 124S, the Lancia Delta HF Integral Group A, the Fiat S61, the Lancia Alfa Sport, the Lancia D50, the Lancia Beta Montecarlo Turbo, the Lancia LC2, the Lancia Augusta, the Lancia Ardea, the Fiat ESV 1500 and 2000, the Fiat Barchetta, the Lancia Aurelia B20, the Lancia Fulvia HF 1600, and the Lancia Stratos HF. Check out the gallery and below videos to see the full extent of what the HUB has to offer.

Ram pickups to keep it steel through 2020
Fri, 22 Aug 2014One of the hottest topics in the industry these days is automakers' expanding use of aluminum, especially for vehicle bodies and platforms. While the lightweight metal has historically been the preserve of premium brands and sports cars, Ford shocked the industry when it announced that its 2015 F-150 would go aluminum-intensive for its new generation. As it turns out, the material change doesn't even mean a big jump in the prices for most of its trims. Possibly in reaction to the big change, General Motors is said to be using the lightweight metal in its next-gen trucks, too. That only leaves Ram as an open question among the domestics, and at least for now, the company is apparently in no hurry to push tin.
According to Reuters speaking with two, unnamed insiders, the Ram 1500 isn't getting an aluminum infusion until sometime after 2020. That's not to say the truck is going to be stagnant for the next half-decade or more, of course. According to Ram's five-year plan, there's a refresh for the 1500 coming in 2015 and much bigger changes on the way in 2017. Those same sources tell Reuters that further revisions aren't expected until at least 2021, which is when the aluminum could be added.
Fiat Chrysler Automobiles CEO Sergio Marchionne hasn't minced words about his thoughts on using the lightweight metal in pickups. "I have better use of aluminum in this house than a pickup truck," he said in May. Having said that, Marchionne was clear that if the material turns out to be revolutionary in the segment, the company would be willing to follow.
Chrysler readying 20 Moparized vehicles for SEMA
Tue, 08 Oct 2013The Las Vegas Convention Center has plenty of space for aftermarket companies and automakers to show off their wares, and it looks like Chrysler is taking advantage of the spacious floor plan. At next month's SEMA Show, Chrysler will have a full 20 cars from its six brands decked out with Mopar gear.
As a hint of what is to come, Chrysler released a handful of teaser sketches showing glimpses of modified Jeep Cherokee, Ram 1500, Fiat 500L and Chrysler 300 concept vehicles. The automaker will also use the venue to show off a new line of Jeep Performance Parts offered by the all-new Mopar Off-Road Division. In addition to the images, Chrysler also issued a brief press release - posted below - breaking down some of the "industry-first features" that Mopar has offered in recent years.
