I bought this car with the intent of getting it back on the road. Unfortunately my plans have changed. The reason I bought the car is due to the low mileage and the fact that it is almost completely rust free. I have included a lot of pictures to try to show this. While on the subject, the rust is a silver dollar sized bubble on the rocker behind the driver side front wheel. The previous owner was in love with the car, but his marriage forced him to store it (inside) for approximately 10 years. The car is not currently running. Before I bought it, I turned the crank only about an eigth inch to make sure it was not locked up. Once home, I used a flashlight to look in each cylinder and all were shiny. I next filled each cylinder with oil and let the car sit for a week. I then changed the oil and filter and turned the car over with the plugs out. Everthing sounded as it should turning over , but there was no fuel pump noise. That was 6 months ago and I haven't touched it since due to some financial problems. The vinyl top was deteriorated and has been removed . The frame is there and good. The seats are leather. The backs are good and the bottoms are useable, but not as nice as the backs. Tires are shot, but hold air. The front valance is missing. All 5 wheels are in nice shape. The spare is in the pictures and has some sort of residue on it. Glass beading should clean it up. The wheels shown on the car are in very respectable condition. As you can see the trunk has no rust through. (rare) It had a radio that was removable, but it was not with the car when I got it. Door panels are partially disconnected, but in good shape. The exhaust system appears to be in very useable condition. In my experience, bodywork and rust are the enemy. Mechanicals are cheaper and easier in the long run. Please ask questions. Thanks

Just 45% of Fiat dealers are profitable, and they're angry about it
Mon, 07 Oct 2013<
On average, Fiat dealers have only been selling about 17 cars a month.
We've been wondering for some time how Fiat dealers in North America have been getting along with just one model range in their showrooms up until recently. Franchisees spent millions building, stocking and manning sleek new 'studio' showrooms, only to have but a single model to sell, the cherubic 500. And even with its many derivatives, the Cinquecento is still an inexpensive model with its attendant lower margins. Perhaps it should come as no surprise then, that just 45 percent of US Fiat dealers are said to be profitable.
Fiat reconsidering Mazda-based Alfa Romeo roadster? [w/poll]
Mon, 03 Mar 2014Alfa giveth and Alfa taketh away. With apologies to Job (he has gone through a lot, after all), that's how things are looking at the Italian automaker - whether it's the promise of new products or its impending return to the North American market. But it's especially true when it comes to new roadsters.
While Alfa Romeo is expected to unveil the 4C Spider at the Geneva Motor Show this week, reports are now suggesting that its other roadster project is being called into question. That project is a joint venture between Fiat and Mazda, which was set to produce a version of its next MX-5 Miata as an Alfa Romeo, and was even changing the design to accommodate Alfa's requirements.
Now it appears, however, that the whole project in doubt. The problem seems to stem from Sergio Marchionne's pronouncements that, as long as he's in charge, there won't be an Alfa Romeo built outside of Italy.
Marchionne threatens to move Alfa production out of Italy
Fri, 12 Jul 2013Fiat CEO Sergio Marchionne was unsurprisingly frank when asked by reporters about potential investments in Italian manufacturing for Alfa Romeo and Maserati, giving the Italian government the ultimatum, "Italy should decide if they want [Alfa Romeo's relaunch] to happen here or not as Fiat and Chrysler have several alternatives." Them's fightin' words.
Fiat's issue with the government stems directly from its courtroom clashes with the Fiom labor union. The two are currently embroiled in proceedings over longer shifts and shorter breaks, as Fiom has so far refused to sign a new contract citing revised labor laws that it says are anti-union.
According to Bloomberg, Fiat will be spending over $2.5 billion on development of eight new Alfas and six new Maseratis, in a bid to wrest some of the luxury pie away from BMW, Mercedes-Benz and Audi. But that's only going to happen if the government is willing to play ball and make life easier on Fiat.
