I had a ‘57 as a project car when I was in high school in ‘72. Got it running, drove it once and parked in my grandmothers garage. Went off to college, came back in ‘79, it was gone.😮

[@lordofrims]

That's sad... did you at least get another one years later or managed to track whether your car went to a yard or got stolen?

[@ersikillian]

I kept wanting the cameraman to look down into the engine compartment. I want to see if the two sheet metal "shrouds" are still in place. One fits around the engine and has a rubber gasket which which fits snugly around the motor itself; the other, closes off the space between the radiator and the back valance. Together, they seal the engine compartment from the underside of the car, preventing the hot air from the vent from recirculating back through the radiator. Over the years, a lot of owners remove them, thinking it will make the car run cooler. It doesn't.

This was my first car, a 1963, and an MOT failure for body work bought for £10 in 1969. Welded up and repainted. It was a great little runner.

[@mystisith3984]

Cute 🥜 is beautiful. Thanks for restoring one. 💙

[@pablomaranon774]

Este coche en España lo fabricó SEAT , SEAT 600, y es probablemente el mayor mito entre los coches clásicos españoles. Hace 20 años se empezaron a restaurar montones de ellos y ahora te lo puedes comprar desde 3000 euros en buen estado y por 5000 restaurado de 10, así que no sé qué margen le podrían sacar. Por otro lado, los recambios de este coche son abundantes y no caros Saludos

I really like Elvis. Pleasure to watch and reminds me of the Edd days.

[@keithbarclay528]

My Mum had one in the 60's and I remember it had a hand throttle ( in addition to the accelerator pedal). Unlike modern cars, it was wired to the accelerator like an old style choke so was pretty dangerous if you used it, as it did not default to off....! Add to that the suicide doors, I don't know how I survived!

[@jaygoldstein5449]

I owned a 1961 600D. The absence of seatbelts and a gas tank that was almost in the driver’s lap didn’t help on the safety front.

[@capitan280]

I had got any model1961 during 6 years I run two rallys with this car AND was it fun.

[@allans7281]

Fun episode I love these simplistic cars

[@moltedo37]

Let the flap always fully open. Saves you a lot of problems.

[@rorygallagher5316]

Unbelievable ! complete restoration... under 9 minutes !

[@silvierousso3995]

Bravo Elvis !

[@sorenandersen2159]

The expense report is a bunch of BS.

[@peterhandke3936]

a fairy tale.

[@bent540]

funfact: you can fit 4 of these in 1 american parkingspot

[@bent540]

@@sweetsunnyvibes yes, but thats a "sadfact"

[@nallo69]

Or put 4 of them on a 1969 Cadillac de Ville

[@TheTruth-dy8ze]

Owned one of these. Worst car I ever owned. Had suicide doors on mine. Ever time you closed the door you’d deposit some item on the road. Would never buy another fiat. Fix It Again Tony. Absolute junk.

[@epiccarguy892]

because parking spots in America are designed for F150s and RAMs gian ass trucks

[@epiccarguy892]

@@TheTruth-dy8ze maybe you should have got a 72 Civic

[@paulorth2251]

Fun little car, looks really nice also.

[@mirkononnis7815]

Non ho visto la prova su strada dopo il restauro. Il motore l'avete riparato?

[@uksupporter8867]

Worst thing about wheeler dealers is the presenter and it’s not the mechanic

[@palracz6179]

I have question to the cooling radiator. Which tool did you use to remove the the thermostatic valve? ( 2:15 )

[@Rolf2014]

Schöne Arbeit , habe selbst ein Fiat 600 d Baujahr 63 .😊Top in Schuss 19000 km ,Neu Restauriert .

[@andrea.picard]

Lavoro meraviglioso.... A quando una NSU RO80???????

[@oliverpetroski4205]

The same car was also produced in Yugoslavia under license. It was called Zastava 750 "Fikjo". Later the car got few centimetres longer (there is actually funny story behind that) and the suicide doors were replaced with regular ones. Also other features were added and some removed on later models.

[@MIWESTI]

Es una pena no poder ver más de la restauración es muy poco explicita.

[@joeverywhere6927]

Love is absolutely 💯

[@Salomonevo]

Where can i buy the roof rack? been looking everywhere but found nothing.

[@JasonFrost-pm1lp]

So, great car, but it looks like the back passenger “oh, shit!” Leatherette handle straps on the inside B pillar are missing… there are 3 mounting holes strategically hidden behind Mike and Elvis’s head. As I remember my parents 128 wagon and 124 sport coup had some sort of looped strap to aid the back seat occupants to extricate.

[@jokokosak2192]

why can't we see the full eoisode???

[@guzmangil5476]

I know it's a 500, older and more classic, but where I live, you can find lots of 600 with the 850 cc (70's) engine, in decent shape, for about 3500... dollars

[@JodyOwen-we6oo]

Yeah…. Since I started driving 35 years ago I usually have a FIAT of some kind for fun and Ford truck for day to day use. (1972 128SL, 1985 X/19. 1980 Spider 2000 at present.) A cheap classic FIAT is almost always going to cost more than a well kept one at market pricing. The two important things are that they need to be driven occasionally to stay in good shape .So a really low mile example isn’t usually a good thing for anyone wanting to drive it regularly. And they were prone to rust so checking out the weak spots on that model is critical before purchase.

[@eliottsan4155]

Me gustaría saber cuánto le lleva hacer una restauración como esta en tiempo real (calculo unos 2meses abocandose de lleno a eso🤔

[@natasastanojevic]

Or Zastava 750 in former Yugoslavia, most iconic car in Balkans.

[@Debbyiliad]

Alla fine quanto ha speso per restaurarla e a quanto l' ha venduta???

[@andydawe6279]

Hi my first car had it two years

[@sumitdasjoy]

I need some parts for fiat 600

a dynamo? spoiler alert: it's 2023

About three rattle cans should do to paint that roller skate.

There was a Yugoslav beast with 903cc engine from Yugo. It could do 145km/h

6:22, it got baked? Life must’ve took a turn for the worse for the Fiat😂

[@alfonsoortizavila4373]

5:51 cutting costs by not using proper breating mask for painting xD

[@sunsetgarage755]

You obviously don’t know much about automotive refinishing. This is a full face mask with its own clean air supply line & positive pressure which makes it impossible to breathe in fumes. It quite literally does not get any better than this.

[@miguelangelfernandezcortes2494]

FIAT not,SEAT.

[@805gregg]

That car needs a Hayabusa engine transplant

[@JodyOwen-we6oo]

Blasphemer! There is literally no joy like a free revving small displacement Italian engine singing it’s song. Getting into any of the FIATs I’ve owned and hitting that accelerator makes me grin like a 13 year old boy with his first crush.

[@peterhandke3936]

Another wheeler dealer fairytale. For this kind of money you can't even start a restoration, not finish one.

[@denniss770]

And the Russians stole this model and called it ZAZ-965, there was a big scandal then.
