Description:

1970 Fiat 500L Coupe It was originally produced as a "people's car.". The original Fiat500 was designed to be an affordable car for the masses. It wasdesigned to be cheap to produce and cheap to run, making itaccessible to a wider range of people. Did you know the Fiat 500was used by the royal family to get around the city when they wentfor groceries or errands? It was produced for over 18 years. Theclassic Fiat 500 was in production for an impressive 18 years, from1957 to 1975, making it one of the longest-running models inautomotive history. During its 18 years of production, over 4million classic Fiat 500s were produced, making it one of the mostpopular and successful city cars of all time. A boy went back to Napoli, because he missed the scenery, thenative dances and the charming songs, but wait a minute,something's wrong...'Cause now it's......Hey, mambo, mamboitaliano! For consignment, a 1970 version of the Fiat 500 namedafter the Cinquecento. The name "Fiat 500" was inspired by theItalian word "Cinquecento," which means "five hundred". This refersto the original engine size of 500cc, which was the maximum allowedby Italian law to be classified as a "small car" and avoid hightaxes. Our version is in restored excellent condition, is carinocome un bottone. Awwww ExteriorOur bambino piccolo is bathed in Bianca, (white), and saved for afew of the usual stone chips and very minor faults, the car isshiny and brite, and has very well minded gaps. This Italian minihas a nicely rounded noise with a single bezeled headlight oneither corner, another circular signal light a little lower, and acurved around shiny chromed bumper below. A nice wide front hingeddoor allows access for those of even a larger frame, and for theback a lift gate if you will for access to the engine. All yourstuff can be stored inside as the front bonnet space is somewhattaken up by the fuel tank and spare tire. The rounded roof line hasa canvas foldable top which allows plenty of air inside and awonderful view of the cumuli-nimbus' above in the blue sky. 12-inchsteel wheels in gray are wrapped by 145/70R12's all around all withplenty of tread. Abbondanza! InteriorSwinging either off the wide doors reveals vertical ribbed blackstitched panels providing a background for the actuators andcranks. On the bottom is a long storage "bin" if you will. Insidewe are greeted by dual low back black vinyl tuck and rolled bomberstyled buckets, in fine condition.In the back is a long bench for 2or 3 if one is a smaller individual. A center console races betweenthe buckets and to the dash. It's black and houses the verticalshift lever and a storage bin. The dash is all very simple, butstill effective with all black molded vinyl, and a geometricallyshaped speedo and a few simple warning lights just below. Just asmattering of toggles are seen in the dash central and hangingbelow is an open storage bin. Oh, and lest I forget an ashreceptacle is on top of the dash in the center. Carpeting is blackand gray with a small checked pattern and is very clean and tidy.Just enough to be simple yet effective and all ergonomic. Loss inminiatura DrivetrainThis version came across the pond with just a bit more cc's thanthe usual 500, as it sports a 595cc 4 popper. It is fed by a Weber261MB4 single 1-barrel carburetor, and has a 4 speed manualtransmission driving the rear wheels through a 5.125 axle. Theengine exhales through a stock exhaust, and shows with slightcorrosion and just a smattering of surface rust, but runs like aSwiss watch as it too has been restored by a professional. Potenzacompatta. UndercarriageUnderneath I see a bit of invasive rust on various areas of thefloor pans particularly near the aft sections of the front wheelwells. On the drivers side there is some invasive rust on the framecreating a small hole. Undercoating is patinaed, and other surfacesshow some surface rust, however the car remains structurally sound.For the front suspension we can note transverse leaf springs, andon back an independent swing arm with coil springs. Drum brakes areon all four corners. Drive-AbilityMy first time behind the wheel of one of these cinquecentos and itwas a quick fire up and smooth idle before heading off to the testtrack. Here it performed with nice acceleration, bias free brakingfor the panic stop and all functions were in working order. Ireally wanted to slide it through the turns but refrained as it'sthe perfect car to do so, as its not mine. A very nice example which for the consignor has lots-of-memories:used in his wedding, some small, (sic), family trails and a realeye catcher being featured in some local commercials. So star ofstage and screen and life, this mini has class, spunk and comfortall wrapped up into a small but mighty package. Come in and scoopit up and give it AMORE! ...When the moon hits your eye...
