. This is a 1935 Fiat Ardita 2500 project I picked up recently in Oregon.. It has been sitting forever .Since like the 70s 80's .Many many years sitting in a barn in Pennsylvania . Then brought out to Oregon where it again sat forever. It needs everything, top to bottom. In and out..I do not think it has been washed in decades and decades. And I am going to leave it that way. It is mostly complete. I know it is missing front bumper, driveshaft, running boards and I imagine other stuff. Looks like the interior was recovered a long, long time ago. And looks like the whole exterior was primed brown a long,long time ago also,The rust looks manageable. The spare tire bottoms,battery box, have rust thru but frame should clean up. It rolls and steers fine. The engine is stuck and I do not want to force it. The wood of course needs work.These are very neat cars. Very low number built. Keep it stock and restore it. Or go hot rod and have one neat ride..It has paperwork from USA Fiat, pictures from when it was picked up in Pennsylvania and a 1976 Pennsyvania title. Which has the vin number as 62700580. The vin tag shows it to be 52700580. Though the 5 could easily be mistaken for a 6. Guess the Pennsyvania DMV inspectors back then were not equipped with magnifying glasses,reading glasses or even a flashlight. Should be an easy fix at your DMV. I travel around mostly the west Coast and might be able to get it to you or close for reasonable money. I can arrange shipping to Long Beach California shippers for export for $300 no problem. .
