1967 Fiat 600D news, pictures, and information

Sedan
Chassis Num: 2303310
 
Sold for $23,100 at 2011 RM Auctions.
The Fiat 600 was the company's first rear-engine car. Production lasted from 1955 until 1969. These were small vehicles having a wheelbase that measures nearly 79 inches. Thanks to the rear-engine placement, there was relatively ample interior seating plus luggage space in the front.

The 600D model was introduced in the fall of 1960 and brought with it an enlarged 767cc engine, swiveling vent windows and additional louvers on the engine-compartment lid.

This 600D is an original, late-production model with just 43,150 kms. The 767cc rear-mounted OHV four-cylinder engine produces 32 SAE horsepower. There is a four-speed manual transmission and four-wheel hydraulic drum brakes.

In 2011, the car was offered for sale at the Amelia Island auction presented by RM Auctions. The car was estimated to sell for $20,000 - $30,000 and offered without reserve. As bidding came to a close, the car had been sold for the sum of $23,100, including buyer's premium.

The Fiat 600 was a small and inexpensive automobile that was easy to produce. It was introduced to the public at the Geneva Motorshow in 1955. The automobile was capable of transporting up to six individuals. During its production lifespan lasting from 1955 through 1969 nearly 2.7 million examples were produced.

The introductory saloon model featured two doors and four seats. The base engine was a 633 cc water-cooled four-cylinder power-plant capable of producing nearly 22 horsepower. The engine was located behind the rear seats and drove the rear wheels. The suspension was independent and featured monocoque construction. A four-speed manual gearbox with cable operated clutch was standard. The combined dry weight of the vehicle was just over 580 kg.

The following year two more versions were introduced, the Multipla and a version with a full-length canvas roof. The Multipla had three rows of seats and could accommodate up to six people. The four back seats could be folded into the floor, exposing a large cargo area.

In 1960 the 600D was introduced and featured a 767 cc engine now rated at nearly 30 horsepower. Various aesthetic and mechanical improvements were added. In 1964 the front doors were now hinged and in 1965 the 600D received a larger fuel tank and new headlights.

The Fiat 600 helped mobilize the entire Italian country and is considered an economical phenomenon.
