1970 Fiat 500 Abarth 695 ss Gruppo 5 Race Street Car Project Classic Muscle

Description

I have a 1970 Fiat 500 Gruppo 5/Abarth 696ss Corsa race car. It is a project car withmost of the hard work done. It does not look like it, but this car is street legal in Oregon and I have a current Oregon title and current plates. I have done everything I can to make this car light weight - I estimate it weighs about a thousand pounds while the brand new racing motor has about twice the HP of the stock motor. It is a hair over 4' tall and is about 10' long.
These little "monsters" are very quick and are raced extensively in the radically modified "Gruppo 5" class in Italy. I have owned many of these tiny Fiats - the last one was a 5 year restoration project. I have attached a couple of pictures of artist conceptions of how I envision this car to look when finished - two possible paint schemes. Of course, you may have your own ideas.
I have spent alot of time and a ton of money on this little Fiat and have purchased virtually every new part available. The few remaining parts needed can be purchased at a reasonable price. Most of the pieces/components have been pre-fitted and are ready to be bolted on once the car is painted, but there is still more fitting/tinkering to be done. I have installed the racing exhaust, gear shift mechanism and other components including cables. I put fluids in the motor and transmission and have had it running on a temporary gas tank. The fuel cellis now powder coated, so the car could be run on the cell when ready - the fuel lines are plumbed and ready to be attached to the fuel cell. The new brakes have been bled. Iinstalled a new battery. With some minor tweaking, the car could be driven.

Sorry that the ad was deleted and reposted. There was a problem with my "key words" not showing the auction in searches such as "Fiat", which is of course one of the categories I wanted it to show up in!The only way Ebay couldfix the problemwas to delete the ad and repost it. This has helped (As my ad now shows up in Fiat), but not sureallmy key words show up - i.e. Project Car!Hopefully, it is fixed now? Thanks Bill
