This 1973 Fiat 500R was refurbished in Sicily in 2022 and subsequently imported to the US. Refinished in blue over replacement tan upholstery, the car is powered by a replacement Fiat 126-sourced 650cc parallel twin that has reportedly been fitted with dual Dell’Orto carburetors, oversized valves, high-compression pistons, stainless-steel exhaust components, and more as detailed below. Additional features include a synchronized four-speed manual transaxle. It also features a front disc brake conversion, a folding canvas roof panel, 12″ steel wheels, auxiliary power outlets and USB ports, and chrome trim.
The body was refinished in blue as part of the refurbishment. Exterior details include a folding canvas roof panel, a 500L decklid badge, dual side mirrors, decklid props, and chrome bumpers.
Silver-finished 12″ steel wheels with polished hubcaps are mounted with 135/80 Debica Passio whitewall tires. The car was fitted with front disc brakes as part of the refurbishment, and it is equipped with drum brakes at the rear.
The cabin was reupholstered in tan as part of the refurbishment, and black piping accents the carpeting and the front bucket seats. Features include a body-color painted dashboard, crank windows, and an auxiliary 12-volt power port along with dual USB charging ports.
A three-spoke steering wheel fronts the 120-km/h speedometer, which houses a quartet of inset warning lamps. The five-digit odometer shows 12k kilometers (~7k miles).
The replacement air-cooled parallel twin was sourced from a Fiat 126 model and displaces approximately 650cc. Power is sent to the rear wheels through a synchronized four-speed manual transaxle. Additional features reportedly include a pair of Dell’Orto 40mm carburetors, a Magneti Marelli distributor, an aftermarket crankshaft, oversized valves, high-compression pistons, and an Abarth-specification valve cover and four-liter oil pan along with a stainless-steel exhaust system. Fluids were changed in preparation for the sale.
