This Fiat Nuova 500 (1957-1975) got away, but there are more like it here.

Abarth-Style 1969 Fiat 500

Sold for $10,250 on 5/4/23

This 1969 Fiat 500 was modified in the style of an Abarth 595 SS in Italy under previous ownership. Bodywork was performed before the car was repainted in white, and the interior was also refreshed during the refurbishment. The 499cc inline-twin has been overbored to 650cc displacement and is paired with a four-speed manual transaxle. Additional equipment includes a sliding fabric sunroof, 12″ Abarth-style wheels, a Vitaloni Californian left mirror, Abarth badging, a Jamex steering wheel and bucket seats, and an electric push-button starter. This Abarth-style 500 is now offered by the selling dealer in Piacenza, Italy, with refurbishment photos and Italian registration.

The body was removed from the chassis and portions of the floor, fenders, and rocker panels were repaired with replacement sheet metal prior to a repaint in white as part of the aforementioned refurbishment performed in the mid-2010s. Exterior details include a sliding fabric sunroof, chrome bumpers and trim, a Vitaloni Californian left mirror, and Abarth badging. Imperfections are noted on the right rocker panel.

Silver-finished 12″ alloy wheels wear Abarth center caps and are mounted with 145/70 LingLong GREEN-max tires, while a full-size spare is housed in the front trunk compartment. The suspension is said to have been overhauled, and stopping power is provided by drum brakes at each corner.

The cabin houses Jamex front bucket seats and a rear bench trimmed in black upholstery with red piping. Additional appointments include a replacement dashboard with Fiat Abarth badging along with an electric push-button starter, quarter vent windows, and map pockets.

A Jamex three-spoke steering wheel fronts a 180-km/h speedometer and a tachometer, while gauges for coolant temperature, oil pressure, and fuel level are mounted centrally in the dashboard. The five-digit odometer reads 1,300 kilometers (~807 miles), and total mileage is unknown.

The 499cc inline-twin is said to have been overbored to displace 650cc. A replacement carburetor and aftermarket exhaust components are fitted.

Power is sent to the rear wheels via a four-speed manual transaxle. Additional underside photos are provided in the gallery.
