Hot Rods 1937 Fiat Topolino barn find

I have found a 1937 Fiat Topolino (all original) barn find and was wondering what might be a fair purchase price?

The floor under the seats are rusted out in spots, and will need to be replaced. The engine is out of the car and needs a new piston and a complete rebuild. However, the rest of the car is extremely solid throughout.

This is basically an original, untouched, and un-restored car.

Any help would be appreciated.

Jealous!

 

Great find, hope there are some people here that know about them.

Send me the address for the car; I'll check it out and get back to you with an appraisal!

Here's a couple of pre-war Topolinos for sale, that may give you some guidance. In my uneducated opinion, I don't think there worth half that. I have seen properly restored cars advertised for as much as $20,000.

Sorry, I don't know how to make these into "links". If you can't get to the second one, just go to classiccars,com and do a search.

Nice find. Is it a hardtop coupe or a convertible ? Coupe is a little harder to find and might be a Simca. Restored they do get high asking prices. Over here unrestored solid projects go between 3000 to 6000 euros. The fanatic restorers would pay the 6000.

 

The owner is asking $4000 U.S. for this Topolino.

It’s a convertible and still has the original fold back top on it, plus (to my knowledge) most if not ALL of the original parts for this car.

I will not be purchasing the car because I simply have to many other projects that need to be completed first.

If anyone may be interested, contact me and I can get you in touch with the guy who owns it.

It resides here in mid- Michigan.
