Hello!

The first car is a 1960 Fiat 600. Allow me to point out that I have already violated the rules as set forth on the introductory page. I bought this car just as you see it. The car is not stock. It is not an original Abarth. It is a car that has been modified by the owner previous to the seller. I took a chance on this car. It is basically a well constructed car. The Fiat 600 is a 600 cc rear engine water cooled, manual gear box, rear wheel drive car. This vehicle has some Abarth parts. The Abarth cars used an 850 cc engine and used rear deck lid supports to hold the lid open. The deck lid will not close properly because of the size of the engine. The early Fiats have suicide doors. This is one of those. The standard Fiat 600 has the radiator in the rear with the engine. This car has two of the standard radiators mounted in the front. Water has to travel under the car to the front for cooling and then all the way back to the engine. The car has no gages. This is really risky! I have driven this car. I full well expected it to be a driver. There is no oil pressure gage and I suspect that there is an oiling problem that needs to be addressed before the car is driven a great deal. It is really a fun car to drive. I will produce more photos, but it is the first day of spring. When it warms a bit, I will produce more photos.
