This is mine...bought it a couple of years ago planning to use it for the engine for my fiat 500. I am a ways off before getting to the 500 and thinking I want to go a different route anyway. Rather than just storing this I am going to see if there is any interest. Need to downsize a little bit as I don't really have the space for what I have. These pictures are from when I bought it. It looks about the same now...maybe a little dirtier...from being in storage for about a year.

It is complete... floors are really rusty (need complete replacement) I have not had it running but the seller said it did run..engine rolls over, throttle cable is broken. Brakes do work as does the clutch (at least the hydro part of it)

Looking for $500. Located in Bay City, MI 48706. It is in storage so if you are interested or want more pictures I can get them. Contact me through the link in my profile.

I am also willing to part it out if people are interested in the bigger bits..engine, trans, etc and I can get the same money out of it.

A few pictures

Its not that far.........its only 2hrs to indy, 2.5 to mighigan line, and about another 3 to bay city(if my assumption as to where bay city is is accurate)

In reply to yamaha: it's 465 miles one way from bay city to new albany, IN. that type of distance with my f350 crew cab turns a $500 car into a 1k car pretty quickly.

I think the post office gives out boxes in the lobby big enough to pack that in.

I'm talking with the wife about it now... How soon does it need to leave? Like everyone else, it'd be quite a haul for me to come get it.

It doesn't need to leave anytime soon but I do have a few people interested already locally. One of those people being the person who is storing it for me. He has until tonight to say yes or no.....
