Equipment
Column shift transmission, Motorola underdash AM radio, hubcaps, narrow whitewalls, vinyl upholstery.
Condition
Sound but dull original paint, sound original interior Decent chrome Cracked steering wheel, pitted interior chrome, yellowed gauge face and control knobs Straight body, doors close well An aged but pleasingly original Fiat that needs only attention, polish and lots of elbow grease to be a very cute driver
Market commentary
Cute only goes so far, but the Burbank bidders failed to look deeply at this Fiat and recognize its potential. It would not have been a bargain at the reported high bid, but neither would it have been expensive at a few thousand dollars more as a potentially rewarding project car.
