New toy or should I say project

Postby Gage » Fri Aug 08, 2008 5:43 pm

Fiat 600D with an 850 engine and disc breaks up front and other things. Guess I need to talk to Roly about his Stacker. :thinking:

Fix It Again Tony. :lol:

I'm partial to the 500, myself, but the 600 is cool, too.

You can always pull the engine and put in a Hyabusa engine (plenty of wrecked Hyabusas in Cali) and go race musclecars. :o

I heard that Fiat was thinking about bringing the 500 back to the United States.

Yep, here's the 08 500 & Abarth. Like all new small cars, the engine is up front. :thinking:

The new 500 is a huge sales success in Europe. There is a big nostalgia thing involved, plus, it's really good car, from what I hear.

All they lack in the US is a dealer and service network. Um, that's a big problem. Hello, Roger Penske, do you have room for the 500 next to the SMART?

Now that's an interesting little car. You should be able to get that in the back of the '56, use it for campground cruising. :lol: :lol:
