Morgan, That 500 is HOT!
My Dad had one of the original ones back in the 1960's. We live in Brooklyn, it was stolen one night right in front of the house.
They probably just carried it away....
I think it was like a 2 cylinder, not sure. But it had the cool canvas sunroof.
Expect that Fiat to be in MiniCooper range $ wise. I doubt you'll touch one at $14k...

The old Fiat 500's weighed about 1100 pounds, so having yours literally carried away was very possible!

It was a 499cc 2-cylinder engine making around 17HP, although the later models had the "huge" 594cc 23HP engine (a big block, I suppose).

They are cool cars and I have come close to buying one on many occasions.....I will eventually own a classic 500.

As for the new 500......I will trade in my Yaris and cut off my left arm (don't need it to shift!) for an Abarth model!!! As long as they don't "Americanize" it and rebadge it as a Chrysler I'm getting one when they arrive on our shores.

They are going to "Americanize" it some in order to meet US regulations and to meet the wants of US buyers but this will be the one initial Fiat model brought to the states as a Fiat and not a Chrysler.
