Go for it
Driving a slow car is its own fun

 

Buy the damn thing before i fly to Miami and do it! That's the perfect drive to Sunday morning breakfast ride.

 

There is one in CA for $18K, same year.
I grew up driving this things and wouldn't mind having one but it would have to be with suicide doors.

 

This.

Gives you a week to get it running again before the next Sunday breakfast trip.

 

Just buy a toilet.
That way you get to take a dump instead of the car.

 

'busa motor

 

My pops has a silver 500 just like that but a few years older. We took it out to the local autocross about 10 years ago. Hilarity ensued.

 

I always wanted a fix it again tony 500, but the 'busa motor idea has merit

 

Friend imported the Polish licence built fiat 126. They’re the replacement for the fiat 500. Same slow ass engine in the back. He’s sunk so much $$ into it.

 

You want someone to talk you out of?

just making sure before I do it.

 

I had one of those, it was little faster and better handling than 500. We called it Pegla (clothes iron)

We also called it Peka (bell shaped metal lid to cover food, food goes under and burning wood on top of it).
Here is my

 

The speedometer goes up to 120 kph? Uh huh… tell me more…

Less power than a Jr Cup bike with some sort of of thin casket surrounding you? No thanks. Maybe rent one for a weekend and get it out your system, but that thing is for weekend car shows and that’s about it.

You need to get back to finding a good RS660 to put the Kings Kamp logo on.

 

It will reach 80 kph if straight is long enough and downhill

 

Its mostly as fast as a golf cart and waaayyy cooler. Buy it.

But just remember that's like 8 or 10 oz of gold you cant buy. Will your union file a grievance against you?
