vintage classic FIAT 500 "The Purple Plum" for sale

Current customer rating: current rating for this car(2.1) based on 439 votes
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.
