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.

Maserati and Lamborghini pull out of Iran

Wed, 16 Jan 2013

Daimler is out, Toyota is out, Porsche is out, Hyundai, PSA Peugeot-Citroën are out and when it comes to selling cars in Iran, now Maserati and Lamborghini are out, too. The definitive pullouts of those last two automakers are said to be reactions to a press conference held by a group called United Against Nuclear Iran (UANI). The group highlights businesses that sell in both the US market and Iran, and works to get those businesses to choose one market or the other.
UANI said it had sent letters to Maserati and Lamborghini about their dealings in Iran, but that the letters went unanswered. Mark Wallace, head of UANI and a former US ambassador to the United Nations, held a press conference in October of last year that referenced the two companies. Apparently Lamborghini contacted Wallace just after the press conference and told him "they were out, they weren't doing any business in Iran anymore."
Discussions with Maserati then took place, and the Italian automaker said it had been out of Iran ever since Fiat announced it was leaving the country in May 2011. UANI said Maserati had been in talks with an Iranian distributor, however, and that distributor was continuing to use the Maserati name. The carmaker has since cut all ties with Iranian interests and has prevented its name from being used, adding that its new models will not be able to be sold there because they won't pass regulations the country's regulations.

Jeep Cherokee faces on-sale delay

Sat, 23 Mar 2013

A report in The Wall Street Journal looks at some of the obstacles to the 2014 Jeep Cherokee that go beyond its mootable yet "very contemporary" looks, almost all of them based on Fiat's financial position. Starting with that sheetmetal, in defense of it SRT president Ralph Gilles and Jeep design head Mark Allen said they wanted to "make sure the design still looks modern five years from now."
The WSJ piece doesn't cite longevity as a factor, instead saying that its features originated in a design for an Alfa Romeo, the transformation into a Jeep design meant allowing Chrysler get it to market more quickly and save "hundreds of millions of dollars" in engineering.
The need for Fiat to save money while it weathers the European situation has cut budgets for development, engineering and the pace of retooling the Toledo, Ohio plant to build the Cherokee. In a familiar case of snowballing at work, among the effects will be pushing back the Cherokee's volume sales date and delaying updates to some of Chrysler's other products.

For some, getting a Fiat 500e last week was almost free

Sun, Mar 22 2015

Auto-racing clubs know a thing or two about moving fast. And a couple of them out in California appeared to do just that when a bunch of incentives for the Fiat 500e electric vehicle added up to a pretty sweet deal. Actually, a borderline free one. Green Car Reports was kind enough to do the math on the calculation of an $83-a-month, three-year lease deal on that included a $2,100 perk and required an $11,000 downpayment on the $32,000 car. California and federal government incentives for EVs cut that downpayment down to $1,000 out of pocket once the incentives ($7,500 from the feds, $2,500 from the state) were factored in by the leasing company. Then, Fiat-Chrysler was throwing in another $1,000 for folks who were leasing a car from another car company, hence the freebie. That means some lucky people, at least temporarily, were able to work basically a zero-downpayment agreement for a three-year lease on a car whose monthly payment is the equivalent of about two full tanks of gas. Once word of those perks got around to some California racing clubs, about 100 500e vehicles to be moved off of California lots during the past week or so. Plugged in, indeed.
