1960 Fiat 600D Convertible (Almost as rare as a Fiat Jolly!)

This is a very. very rare rust free 1960 Fiat 600D convertible. This car was found in the dry Arizona environment and a subsequent ground up restoration three years ago by well known Fiat restorer Theo's Microcar Motors in Costa Mesa. CA has brought new life to this rust free beauty. Painted in a factory correct sea foam green color. this particular car is the more desirable U. S. version with oversized “bug eye” or “frog eye” headlights mandatory to meet U. S. requirements back in the day. The equally rare and highly desirable suicide doors make this car a standout for the Fiat or Italian car collector. What was considered a “convertible” top on this car is really more like a huge sunroof that opens the full length of the passenger compartment. Brakes. 4 speed transmission and the 4 cylinder water cooled engine have all been redone along with upholstery. convertible top and floor covering. The 29 hp factory engine was bored and rebuilt with oversized pistons and given a mild cam along with an ultra rare Abarth header increasing output to around 45-50 hp. That extra horsepower makes a difference in this little car yet the engine retains the original factory look. No detail has been overlooked and even includes a hard to find jack/tire changing kit. This model served as the base for the now infamous and highly coveted Fiat Jolly 600 beach car. one of which sold for $110. 00 this year at the Amelia Island RM Auction. But if you can't get your hands on a Jolly. this is the next best thing and perhaps as equally unique with its full roof length “convertible” top. I have owned a variety of cars over the years from luxury. muscle. sports and high performance and can tell you that this car has gotten more attention than any of those. Therefore be prepared to turn a lot of heads. receive a lot of thumbs up. be paid a lot of compliments and have pictures taken of it. With Fiat's recent reintroduction success in the U. S. . this car should only go up in value.
