The 600 was the first rear-engined car produced by Fiat, and it was an important affordable commuter car for much of Europe, with over two million of them being produced in total. In 1964 a number of performance and safety improvements were made to the design, including an increase in displacement to 767cc and a whopping 4hp increase in power.
This particular example is from the final year of Italian production, and has been restored in this striking color combination. It turns heads, slowly, whenever it's on the road, and it gets more attention than a Lamborghini with far less maintenance. Well, a little bit less maintenance, it's still a Fiat. In all seriousness, it starts right up every time, and I run ethanol-free pure gasoline in it to insure that it will keep starting even after periods of storage.
The previous owner was legendary Porsche dealer and collector Chuck Stoddard, and this vehicle was purchased out of his collection in 2023. It was serviced by King's Auto Service to address some drivability issues and it drives, shifts, and stops great. The paint and interior are in beautiful condition. It needs a couple little things - the driver's window crank handle needs to be reattached and the wing vent windows do not have the handles on the glass to open and close them.
Current, clear Ohio title shows 20,655 actual miles, but the odometer is in kms so it should have been around 12,900. Either way, I'm pretty sure that's the total miles since the restoration, not since new, so consider this TMU.
