This 1969 Fiat 500 is a fixed-roof My Car example built by
Carrozzeria Francis Lombardi in conjunction with Fiat. It is
powered by a 650cc inline twin equipped with twin carburetors and
linked with a four-speed manual transaxle. The car is finished in
silver over red leather and underwent an interior refurbishment in
2023 that included retrimming the seats, door panels, and
headliner. Equipment includes a raised hardtop, a revised front
fascia, side mirror, pop-out quarter windows, 12? steel wheels, a
lowered suspension, a wood shift knob, and a wood-rimmed steering
wheel.
A 120-km/h speedometer and warning lights are integrated into the
dash. The five-digit odometer shows 52k kilometers.
An air-cooled 650cc inline twin with a side-draft Weber carburetor
has been installed in place of the 499cc unit. Power is sent to the
rear wheels via a four-speed manual transaxle. An oil change was
performed and the battery was replaced in 2024. An Abarth alloy
valve cover is included in the sale. It is also fitted with a sport
exhaust system.
Here are the consignor's comments: "This 1969 Fiat 500 Francis
Lombardi my car was acquired by the previous owner in 2019 and
brought to the US from Palermo, Sicily. The engine had been
modified in Italy to a 650cc twin featuring a Weber 40DCO
carburetor and reportedly rebuilt approximately 5k miles ago.
Previous owner also put in a new complete interior.
Under current ownership the engine and transmission was completely
removed to effectively address oil leaks in September, 2024.
This car currently has 52k kilometers ( approximately 32k miles )
and drives beautifully!"
