Vehicle Description
2016 Fiat Topolino Coupe. #5615
This wonderful creation was produced and manufactured by Fiat from
1936 to 1955. The name Topolino is Italian and translates literally
as "little mouse". It is also the Italian name for Mickey Mouse.
The Topolino was one of the smallest cars in the world at the time
of its production. Launched in 1936, three models were produced
until 1955, all with only minor mechanical and cosmetic changes. It
was equipped with a 569 cc four-cylinder, side-valve, water-cooled
engine mounted in front of the front axle.
For consignment, under what I would call "special construction", we
have a hot little fuchsia fiberglass rod resembling the Fiat
Topolino. It was custom constructed on a special frame and packs a
walloping dyno proven 4 barreled supercharged 549 horsepower. The
interior is simply abbondanza, and it is a truly unique ass kicker
car.It's weight to power ratio is off the charts as it steps on the
scale at a mere 2100 lbs!
Note: This vehicle is titled as Special Construction for the make
and does not list a model year. Please consult with your local,
county, state, country, or provincial DMV for proper titling
procedures
Exterior
In keeping with its original design which went virtually changed
throughout its Topolino run. We lead the way with a fine mesh
stainless shield style pointed bottom grille flanked by a single
chromed bullet encased headlight hanging off of either side. The
fenders have been left out and now we can look at the gleaming
front suspension, braking,15-inch chromed front wheels, and chromed
axle beam. As we move back, the car harkens back to the classic
stock dirt track cars of yore with an open cowl sideless hood and a
chopped roofline which makes a beautiful curve to form the rear of
the car. The roof and rear glass have been cut out and now a roll
cage and rear wing are added in. On the curved down rear deck is an
embossed spare tire insert sans the tire. The rear fenders are also
gone and now massive 33x21.50-15 tires are wrapping deep 15-inch ET
wheels. Massive side pipes hold steady against the rockers on
either side, and all fiberglass is bathed in fuchsia, which is
miles deep. I can see Toby Tobias flying around turn 4 at the
Fairgrounds kicking up dirt with the ass end hanging out as those
front wheels go side to side keeping it sideways. Muah!
Interior
In the roll cage surrounded cockpit we see plenty of fabricated
aluminum with dual bomber style racing bucket seats that are
covered in charcoal vinyl. There is a B&M shifter rising up
from the rolled over aluminum hump covering, and in front a custom
flat front swirl pattern aluminum dash. It is peppered with
AutoMeter gauges in black face and the speedo has a digital
odometer readout. A rally wheel makes the turns, and some other
performance enhancing boxes are scattered about within reach of the
driver. Black carpeting is covering the aluminum floors and the
door panels are covered in black simple smooth pattern vinyl. 5
point Simpson racing belts are on each seat, and a fire
extinguisher hangs in the center of the back panel between the
seats. All in a solid roll cage, also you can look above and see
the aluminum wide rear tail spoiler.
Drivetrain
You'll get a hint of what you're in for by peering at the opening
in the hood where it simply gleams with the large supercharger
scoop looking like two aerodynamic eyes peering forward at you
shiny chrome. Underneath is a BDS 671 supercharger being fed by an
Edelbrock 4-barrel carburetor. This feeds fuel and air to a 355ci
V8. On back is a TH350 3-speed automatic trans feeding power to
those big rear rubbers with a Ford 9 inch rear axle. 549 horses
folks and that is not fooling around. Headers and side-pipes are
there for the exhale.
Undercarriage
Bolted to a custom tubular frame is a transverse leaf spring front
suspension and rear 4 link with coil overs for the back. Disc
braking is all around. All rust free and even dirt free, solid as a
rock.
Drive-Ability
My partner in crime drove this speed racer and said it was
exhilarating! Massive power, great handling, bias free good
braking, and easy steering. All functions were working including
his heart monitor which registered off the charts whilst
driving!
A uniquely wonderful custom build with shades of some Italian
history. Just beautiful Limoges, awesome fuchsia paint, fiberglass
and plenty of noise and speed. If that doesn't float your boat, you
may be a Mickey Mouse operation!
