Fiat Jolly Beach Car Full Restored No Reserve! on 2040-cars

Year:1969 Mileage:10
Location:

The Fiat Jolly offered here is a rust free european example (Jollys were made into the early 1970s for European delivery) that was purchased following a comprehensive restoration by its original builder, Ghia, in Turin, Italy. A complete list of the work undertaken included is a full mechanical restoration, updated to top specifications by Ghia. The engine is a correctly numbered 499,5 cc unit, producing about 20 bhp. Other N.O.S. or rebuilt components included the generator, fuel pump, exhaust, shock absorbers, and fuel tank. Cosmetic work included new chrome and brightwork, wiring, instruments, paint, upholstery, wheels and tires. The car was painted using the color light blue, which is correct for the 1968 Jollys. Upon completion, this Jolly was reviewed by the Registro Storico Fiat, and it was recognized as an original restoration by them as well as by the Carrozzeria Ghia Club Italia. From years of exposure to the salty ocean breeze, most of these steel-bodied cars were plagued by corrosion, and as a result, the survivor rate of Jollys is very low..That fact alone makes this rust free example all the more desirable authentic examples, correctly restored both mechanically and cosmetically, are very difficult to find, making this a very nearly unique opportunity! 
JUST THIS PAST WEEKEND IN SCOTTSDALE ARIZONA A LESSER CONDITION JOLLY WAS SOLD FOR $11O,OOO!

Fiat 124 Abarth Spider spied, may get Alfa 4C power

Tue, Jul 14 2015

We've long been excited to see, hear, and drive the car that results from the in-process Fiat-Mazda partnership. The Italian brand has had access to the excellent 2016 Mazda MX-5 Miata on which to base its own roadster, and the fruits of that labor will soon ripen. Spied here is not only the ensuing Fiat 124, but a hotter Abarth tuned version of the spider. At least, that's what we're hoping. Our spy shooters indicated that the car seen here not only sounded more aggressive than 'standard' 124 mules seen previously, but that it also accelerated away from their long lenses with a smartness. The 124 Spider is already rumored to make use of the 1.4-liter turbo I4 that makes 160 horsepower in the Fiat 500 Abarth, and this version may have a still-more-powerful engine. Another tell about the added output are the quad tailpipes in place of the lesser car's set of two. There's no hard evidence to support exactly which engine might be under the 124's hood, however. It's possible that the 1.7-liter turbo from Alfa Romeo 4C could be in play – with its 237-hp output – as the 124 was originally going to wear an Alfa badge. If that were to happen, however, the Fiat would almost certainly get a dual-clutch transmission instead of the purer manual box. In any event, more details about the car will no doubt crop up closer to the expected reveal this fall. Related Video:

Marchionne to take his sweater and go home after 2018

Wed, 08 Oct 2014

The end is in sight for Fiat Chrysler boss Sergio Marchionne, who confirmed in an interview with Bloomberg that once FCA's sweeping five-year plan is completed, he'd be stepping down from his post to "undoubtedly" do something else that didn't involve turning around global corporations. That would mean he should finish up after 2018 if all goes according to plan.
"It's as important to walk away from the table as it is to sit down," Marchionne told Bloomberg.
Marchionne has been at Fiat since June of 2004 and is one of the chief architects behind the Italian company's acquisition of Chrysler. Despite his successes, he does sound quite ready to move beyond the auto industry, rhetorically asking his Bloomberg interviewers if there "are other things I like to do apart from this?"

Six 'shut up and take my money' cars

Tue, 11 Nov 2014

Any time you see this iconic moment in pop culture - Shut up and take my money! - posted in response to a new car reveal, rumor for an upcoming model or even lip-service to a vehicle that should exist, you can bet there's some intrinsic good in the idea. Though depending on the person offering up the cash, that good could take the form of extraordinary form, functionality, weight savings, power, handling, etc. You get the idea.
In fact, when I first proposed this list, I reached out to the Autoblog staff to help me brainstorm. Here are some of the ideas they offered up that I ultimately didn't use: Jaguar XE Coupe, Pagani Huayra Roadster, Mercedes-Benz S-Class "parade car" (cabriolet), Morgan 3-Wheeler with Ducati V-twin, Ford Transit Connectamino (pickup), Mercedes CLA63 AMG, Ford Fusion 5.0, BMW i8 Spyder, Lexus RC-F Shooting Brake, Volvo XC90 Polestar. Oh, and things we collectively wanted to stick Dodge's Hellcat in were almost as numerous as models that Fiat Chrysler Automotive currently makes (though none quite so compelling as the Grand Cherokee you see above.)
Ultimately though, while I used a couple of ideas from my colleagues, the list of cars I'd shell out for unquestionably is very personal. Though it isn't complete, what follows is a selection of cars whose very existence would prompt me - or the trust-fund-baby versions of me - to utter without hesitation: "Shut up and take my money."
