Todays next Italian go-kart is a tip from MB who writes: Here’s just about the cheapest way to get some Italian style in your garage. In honor of the Olympics I give you . . . Abarth. Find this 2013 Fiat 500 Abarth offered for $6850 in Minneapolis, MN via facefaceface italianbook. From the seller: […]
The Ford Torino 500 sat right in the middle of Ford’s early 1970s muscle car strategy, bridging the gap between family-sized intermediates and full-on performance machines with a pony badge on the side. Introduced as Ford pivoted away from the Fairlane name, the Torino grew larger, heavier, and more aggressive, reflecting both NASCAR influence and […]
This isn’t your average Fiat 500E with curb rashed wheelz and driven to a big box mall on the weekend by your dentist. This is a 200-horsepower, GSX-R1000-powered, front-wheel-drive chain-driven lunatic hatchback that revs to 13,000 RPM and sounds like a MotoGP bike trapped in a washing machine. The original EV guts were yanked out […]
The Fiat Nuova 500 was launched in 1957 as the Italian peoples car replacement for the aging pre-war Fiat 500 Topolino. This Nuova 500 used a rear mounted air-cooled two-cylinder engine and a city sized body that could be described as making a Beetle look large. Production continued through the mid 1970s and they are […]
The Fiat 500 name was revived in 2007 as a Polish, Mexican, or Algerian-built city car in hatchback and convertible trim. The convertible was a strange mullet top that folded back but kept the B-pillars and C-pillars intact, technically known as a fixed profile convertible..however…that isn’t what you are looking at. This is a custom […]
The 2012 debut of the Fiat 500 in the US was surprising sales success for a compact front-drive hot hatch when everyone was transitioning to CUV/SUV/UtilityBlah. But here’s the twist: despite its Eye-tal-yon roots, this little fella was put together in Meh-he-co. That’s not a bad thing, though; Mexican craftsmanship probably said, “Hold my tequila!” […]
I really hate it when I see someone give up on his dreams. And this next seller had a dream of creating the best fleet of SEAT 600s (the Spanish built version of the Fiat 500) around. Not sure if he was going to start a food delivery business for the local paella joints, or […]
I don’t know what to say about this next car, other than to offer it up to crowd as a Loony Labor Day sacrifice to the loonies. The photos show a car that looks like it was salvaged from a lake, but the description is pure pandemonium. It might be a Fiat 500 Topolino that […]
In 2007 Fiat re-introduced a city car to their lineup using the 500 name and even imported it into the United States, at least until 2019 when Fiat-Chrysler-Stellantis-BorgCube canceled the little city car. But that’s okay, because it was made in Mexico, so if you want a REAL Fiat 500, you need to get something […]
I know it would be a bad idea to buy a Fiat 500 Abarth. There must be a reason these things are so cheap. Right? Even in the middle of the biggest stupid used car inflation period in the history of wheels, the Fiat 500 is still one of the cheapest cars you can get […]
