This is not a fiat, Facebook would not allow me to list this as what it truly is. You are looking at a 1964 Talbot Simca 1000. A rear engined vintage rally car sporting a mean 45 horsepower of pure performance.. there is a lot of racing history behind it believe it or not. This is your opportunity to own one of what I believe is the last in America. >it could run but does not currently >fresh rebuilt carburetor >solid frames, but needs body work (and floors) >front passenger side wheel is locked up Feel free to message me with any other questions or if you’d like more photos, just testing the waters, shoot me an offer, I am open to trades as well. Thank you!

I thought they were brought in by Chrysler.

This isn't the first time this car has been up for sale. It would be quite the project to resuscitate it, but you would be the only one at your local "Cars &Coffee".

In reply to 914Driver :

Yes they were imported by Chrysler, who had a majority stake in Simca at the time. They were never called Talbot in the USA, and I am pretty sure the 1000 was not called Talbot anywhere during its production.

In reply to TurnerX19 :

They were only labeled as Simca's here if I remember correctly, so it would officially be a Simca 1000.

More inspiration from right here in the USA. Ed Stinsman in an Abarth upgraded one 50 years ago. He was near 80 at the time. Hershey Hillclimb
