Vehicle Description
1964 FIAT 500D This Italian micro-car was originally built for
European markets. While its US entry is unknown, this FIAT recently
underwent a full, comprehensive restoration. The rebuilt 499cc
engine is mated to a rebuilt 4 speed, floor mounted manual
transmission. EXTERIOR: Body work and paint are Top-notch as is the
new or polished original trim and is accented by new chrome bumpers
on each end. The previous owner added the fun "Nuova" emblem, the
Nuova was the previous model manufactured from 1957-1960, and was
replaced by the 500D shown here. The suicide doors and trunk close
with solid, well-built sound due to the new weather-stripping.
Undercarriage is clean, protected and looks factory fresh, as well
as the suspension and drivetrain. Aluminum wheels with FIAT logo
caps are fitted on each corner wrapped in new radial black-walled
tires. INTERIOR: Capable of seating 4 people, the red on white
interior looks new seats, dash and door cards all redone. The
absence of a heater, radio and all gauges except a speedometer (in
km/h) kept the price affordable in 1964's Europe, however, a
cigarette lighter and ashtray were included. Standard equipment
also includes headlamps, signals and wipers. Own a piece of history
in this RARE fully-restored Euro-spec FIAT 500D.
