I purchased this 1972 Fiat 500L when I lived in Italy in 2020 and shipped it to Florida when I moved back stateside in 2022. I began to have engine issues with the original engine in FL so I just had a new 36 HP hand built Abarth engine shipped over from Italy and proffesionally installed. (Only driven about 3 hours since engine install). I also upgraded to a 5 speed trans-axle vs the 4 speed one that originally came with the car.
An italian dealer who specializes in Fiat 500 restorations did all the work himself back in 2020 in Aviano, Italy. I have the original documents from when it left the Factory in Torino.
Car runs and drives great. It is very rare to see this type of fiat in this condition in the United States. I have not seen another one yet, at least in Florida.
