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. |

Marchionne to take his sweater and go home after 2018
Wed, 08 Oct 2014The 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?"
Record for tightest parallel parking job provisionally broken again
Sat, Jan 17 2015When you're the best at something, well, you want to keep being the best at something, even if that something is setting world records in parallel parking. Or, based on how often and quickly this record changes hands, perhaps that's especially when it's setting world records in parallel parking. Alastair Moffatt has held the record twice, his reign broken twice by Han Yue, who did it last time in November 2014. That effort reduced the distance between cars to a eight centimeters (3.15 inches). Moffatt was double-dog dared to take his crown back in front of a crowd at the Autosport International Show in Birmingham, England, and he accepted the challenge. Then he beat the challenge, using a 2015 Fiat 500C to shrink the record-setting gap to 7.5 centimeters (2.95 inches). The folks at Guinness are waiting on a few more scraps of documentation from Moffatt's team to make it official, but we figure he knows what he's doing by this point. Once it's been given the stamp, we have a feeling we'll be getting a call from China. Until then, there's video of the new record being set above, and a behind-the-scenes video below.

Fiat seeking $10B in financing to buy Chrysler
Thu, 30 May 2013As Fiat looks to become the full owner of Chrysler, all it has standing in its way is the retiree trust of the United Auto Workers, which currently holds the remaining 41.5 percent of the company as the result of the Pentastar's bankruptcy deal. The Detroit News is reporting that that Fiat is currently talking to numerous banks in an attempt to raise around $10 billion to fund the purchase of Chrysler's remaining stake with enough left over to refinance the debt of both companies. We've known that Fiat has been working to obtain the capital to buy out Chrysler for some time now, but this is the first time we've seen Fiat tip its hand about how much cash it thinks it will need to close the deal.
The first order of business is a legal dispute over the value of the UAW's stake in Chrysler, which the report indicates could cost Fiat around $3.5 billion. The acquisition of remaining shares could happen by this summer, but it sounds like CEO Sergio Marchionne (above) might not be ready for a full merger until next year.
