Well, we moved and now have a house that needs as much work as the Fiat. So the Fiat needs to go away. We've got enough projects and I've got an antique car already to keep me happy and the Fiat simply is not something that I am familiar with and want to learn about. Sorry.

So what's it worth? It starts, drives, stops.

It creaks, shakes through 1st gear (auto trans), needs new floor pans front and back, needs a new interior to be nice and the paint looks like someone either brushed it on, or tried to sand some off. But frankly on the body panels, there is rust, but no perforations. And the engine sounds pretty okay and it did have some serious bushing replacements in 2013 to pass inspection.

For a diehard Fiat restoration fan, it's a labor of love, for a cynic its a money pit, and for the practical man its probably a parts car. Your choice.

Where would you price it to ensure it goes away in the next month or two?

thanks

Somewhere over 800 and less than 1500. Really, anything over 500 is a bonus.

So it's listed up on Craigslist: http://nh.craigslist.org/cto/4544797439.html

Let me know via mikeshums at the gmail mail system if you want more information. The price is negotiable obviously.
