The Purple Plum is a charming Fiat 500 weighing about 1100 pounds. It seats four (no rear seat belts) and have four gears. This car is different than many classic Fiat 500s in that it has a 650 engine. This allows the little guy to achieve speeds of 65 mph (unlike the others which are going to be slower). It is peppy and fun to drive! It has 5000 kilometers on the speedometer right now, but obviously it has gone much farther than that. No body rust! There are two dents which I need to point out. The previous owner put these little decorative things on the side of the doors, just in front of the upper hinge. When the door would open, it would press these things and soon enough they pushed into the surface. The dents are pretty hard to see. You've got to be just at the right angle. If you look closely at the last picture, you'll see it. Again, very tiny and mostly invisible. But I want to tell you everything.

Ok, so what works and what doesn't? Well, the great news is that everything serious works. The car starts, runs, shifts, stops, and the lights/horn work. I tightened up the electrics so no flukes there. New coil, spark plugs, oil. Windshield wipers work as does the fluid. Heater works. The roof opens (very easily) as do the windows--except for the triangular window on the passenger side. It has a radio/CD player and four speakers which work except sometimes when one hits a bump (which jars the control panel) but usually it will just kick back in. Otherwise you jiggle it and it plays again.

What doesn't work?

The one triangular window doesn't open.

Both the triangular windows show rust on their lower side (not leaking now).

The oil gauge isn't hooked up.

The fuel gauge does work but it reads full as 3/4 full.

It has a 4 gallon tank and does very well on fuel. Everyone loves this car! You will be very popular on the road. I am selling it with the shop manual for the Fiat 500 and the Fiat 127 (which covers the engine).

The paint is very new and really well done. People think it is a new car. They always say, "What kind of car is this?" Because it looks brand-new. The wheels are 13" and don't hit the wheel wells. They are in excellent condition and almost new.

Fiat 500 Abarth to get automatic transmission option

Wed, 10 Apr 2013

Boo and hiss all you want, but the truth is that manual transmissions aren't for everybody. When Fiat launched the hot little 500 Abarth last year, it did so with a five-speed manual as the only transmission available, but according to Ward's Auto, that might change.
"We're not opposed to doing it. We just didn't think there would be consumer requests for it, and there is," Fiat's North American president, Tim Kuniskis, told Ward's in regards to an automatic-equipped Abarth.
With the launch of the upcoming droptop 500C Abarth, Kuniskis says that the company is expecting a few more women buyers to opt for the more potent version of the pint-sized cabriolet. "I think when we'll see more women is when we have the automatic, and we're planning to add the automatic in the Abarth at some point, only because we're getting that feedback from customers."

Alfa Romeo to launch eight new products by 2018, increase sales to 400K units

Tue, 06 May 2014

After a few streams of news on the various brands in the Fiat Chrysler family, here's the deluge we've been waiting for - Alfa Romeo. The legendary Italian brand is being pointed towards a renaissance, as shown by the brand's five-year plan.

Godzilla stops off for a little Italian in new Fiat ad

Tue, 06 May 2014

Fiat is really trying to push its five-door 500L, which has gotten off to a rather disappointing first year of sales. The Italian brand's first big-name effort involved rapper P. Diddy and a pair of very unfortunate desert pedestrians. Now, it's gone even bigger (quite literally), teaming up with everyone's favorite, city destroying, radiation-breathing green lizard monster - Godzilla.
Yes, the Japanese monster icon is getting rebooted in a new film starring Breaking Bad's Bryan Cranston, as well as Ken Watanabe and Elizabeth Olsen. With the iconic kaiju hitting US theaters on May 16, the release of the Fiat/Godzilla ad is well timed.
In the ad, Godzilla is doing what he does best, all while devouring standard-sized 500s in the same way that you or I might eat a few grapes. This is working out quite nicely, until the big lizard bites off more than he can chew with the 500L.
