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

Fiat set to invest $12B on new models, stop Euro losses in 3 years
Mon, 09 Dec 2013Naturally, you'd expect a massive automaker like Fiat to have an in-depth plan to exit the current European-market doldrums, and you'd expect that plan to include plenty of new vehicles to attract those precious buyers that still remain despite the financial downturn. And you'd be right, though Fiat does seem to have a few unexpected twists up its corporate sleeve.
Perhaps the biggest shocker is a report that Fiat will completely drop the Punto, a car with mass-market appeal aimed at small-car buyers cross-shopping the popular Volkswagen Polo. Its replacement will be a five-door Fiat 500 aimed at upmarket buyers (sounds awfully similar to the 500L) that will be built in Poland. Lower-end customers will reportedly be served by variants of the Fiat Panda.
Borrowing a page from the BMW, Daimler and Volkswagen playbook, reports Automotive News, Fiat is said to have plans to reignite production at its Italian factories by retooling them to build high-end vehicles from Maserati and Alfa Romeo. These will be marketed as premium products, built by skilled Italian workers (who are paid wages that are 75-percent higher than those building Fiats in Poland), and will be sold around the world.
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.
