As one of the original "city cars" the Fiat 500 began production in 1957 as the Nuova 500.  It had a 479cc engine, rear-hinged doors, and produced 13 horse power.  As a way to show their pride in this original model, the modern Fiat 500 can now be purchased as a retro-styled model known as the "1957".  

The Nuova changed to the "D" model in 1960 and the engine size increased to 499cc and a whopping 17 horse power.  The "L" or Lusso model began production in 1968 and is the luxury model of all Fiat 500s. 

This vehicle is a 1972 model year, was imported from Italy, and has 88,000 Kilometers on the odometer.  It is a dark orange in color with a black interior.  The paint is new and the interior is in excellent condition with one tear in the lower dashboard vinyl.  It was mechanically gone through before being shipped and runs very well with no mechanical problems.  The tires are also new, and all electrics function as they should. 

It is a fun car to drive and starts a conversation everywhere you go.  I imported this vehicle and another with the idea of keeping and driving them, but now I need to move this 500L along. 

It does not have a US title, but has all of the paperwork needed to obtain one if desired including the importation documents, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) form, and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) declaration. 

Purchasing and shipping:  Shipping for this vehicle is the sole responsibility of the purchaser.  If you purchase this vehicle, please don't interpret that as the opportunity to negotiate for a lower price.  That being said, I realize that purchasing any vehicle online can be nerve-wracking, therefore; if you arrive to take ownership of this 500L and are not happy in any way, just pay my listing fees (about $150), we'll part as friends, and I'll contact the next bidder or re-list it.

The vehicle is for sale locally, so I may end this listing early.    

Thanks for the interest, and email mail me with any questions.

Ram boss says not to expect midsize pickup in America

Mon, Apr 6 2015

Remember that mysterious midsize four-door pickup FCA was spotted testing recently? It may be sold as a Fiat in markets overseas, but don't expect it to join the Ram lineup in North America. At least not according to the latest word from the truck brand's new boss. Speaking with Automotive News at the New York Auto Show, Ram CEO Bob Hegbloom outlined four criteria for a successful midsize pickup, particularly in the North American marketplace: they have less capability than a fullsize truck, but return with a more compact form, lower price and considerably higher fuel economy. "I've been able to develop a strategy to come up with three of the four," said Hegbloom, but "I haven't seen anyone who can deliver on all four." Smaller and less capable are easy, but getting both the price and the fuel consumption down at the same time is where it gets tricky. As it is, a Ram 1500 with the diesel engine and rear-wheel drive delivers 29 miles per gallon on the highway, which is already more than the 27-mpg rating on the midsize Chevy Colorado and GMC Canyon. But Hegbloom figures that in order to justify a midsize pickup, American buyers would expect at least 35 mpg on the highway, and in order to do so, FCA would have to employ some trick tech, which would in turn raise the price beyond an attractive level. The last time Chrysler offered a midsize truck in America was with the Dakota that was discontinued in 2011. Ford similarly ceased offering the Ranger in North America in 2012, leaving the new Colorado and Canyon to take on the Toyota Tacoma and Nissan Frontier in the compact/midsize pickup market in the US. With the prospect of a Ram version apparently off the table, then, Fiat's midsize four-door pickup is likely take on the likes of the Volkswagen Amarok, Mitsubishi Triton and Toyota Hilux in markets like Europe and South America. But like those trucks, it will likely never see the inside of an American showroom.

Marchionne assures Fiat jobs will stay in Italy, amid Chrysler merger talks

Sat, 01 Jun 2013

Even though Fiat CEO Sergio Marchionne has repeatedly said he won't pick up, leave Italy and take his Fiat factories with him, his occasional pointed comments about the challenges of running operations in that country has worried Italian politicians dealing with government, economic and labor-force seizures the past few years. After Fiat Industrial announced it was moving its headquarters to London and it was rumored that the car division's HQ would move to Auburn Hills, MI after the merger with Chrysler, it was worried that more Italian jobs would disappear.
Industry Ministry Flavio Zanonato sought assurances from both Marchionne and Fiat chairman John Elkann that they would "commit to the country," and it appears those assurances have been given. Unemployment in Italy is at 20-year-highs and car sales are at 20-year-lows, but Marchionne said "We have confirmed our commitments for Italy" and the company will hold steady on employment. The nation and the corporation said they would work together to "relaunch Italy's car market," although it's not clear what either of them will be able to do beyond wait it out. At the very least, Fiat's stance means there's one less ball the country's politicians have to juggle.

Fiat brings raft of special-edition hatchbacks to Geneva

Wed, Feb 25 2015

The annual Geneva Motor Show presents a prime opportunity for any automaker – European ones especially – to show off new metal. You'd figure that would include the sprawling Fiat Chrysler Automobiles group, but instead, one of Europe's largest automakers will be presenting a series of special-edition hatchbacks for the European market. Yeah, we're as disappointed as you are. First up is the Fiat division itself, which will be showcasing the Vintage '57 edition of the 500 and the Panda K-Way. The former puts an even more retro spin on the already-retro hatchback, with a two-tone pastel blue-and-white exterior, 16-inch white-and-chrome wheels and a tobacco-leather interior. The latter was designed in collaboration with the famous rainwear label, K-Way, and features mix-and-match exterior color combinations, titanium-finish trim and a specially crafted interior. Alfa Romeo will be celebrating the European debut of the 4C Spider we already saw in Detroit. In terms of new debuts, Alfa also has the elegant Collezione edition of the Giuletta and the MiTo Racer edition with gray and brown trim that looks, at first blush at least, much more subtle than the name would convey. Though no longer a major player in the Fiat portfolio, Lancia is showcasing the 30th Anniversary and Elle editions of the Ypsilon – the car that in its own words, "Italian women love more than any other." Jeep is showing the Renegade with new powertrain options, and Abarth has updated its range of 500-based hot hatches, but for something new and exciting, it looks like we'll be passing right by the Fiat section at the Geneva Palexpo this year.
