OK, I'm seriously thinking of pulling the trigger on this baby, but I have no experience with Fiat. I can tell you everything you want to know about a VW Bus though. :/
There are a number of these available in the souther NY area and all for about the same price. Many ads claiming "restored in Italy" and I'm sure that's where this one came from.
Supposedly the engine was redone and enlarged though no details on what work was done. No details on what body or restoration work either, but as you can see, it looks rather nice.
So I'm looking for clues. I notice the doors don't shut smooth. They latch well, but they pop open when unlocked. This is either a misalignment or bent frame. How to tell is what I need to know.
There is a crack next to the lip of the soft top. (sun roof? What do you call that section)
The only other clue I see is that when I use the directionals, you don't or barely see the blinker light on the dash and when you do, you can see the red battery light lighting up too. The lights work on the exterior, but the dash lights seem weak.
Just for reference - The asking price for this vehicle is $13k US
