Vespa 600 (maybe) car "body only"?
So finally got this tenant out and he left one of these behind! No bottom but not in bad shape. Just get rid of or might there be some value to it? Can't find much on the internet. Thanks

I know that a Vespa is far from a car

asop, my Vespa was a two cly air cooled 2 stroke. There was an small (maybe 4 qt) oil tank in the engine compartment. There was a hand pump and a measuring device on the oil tank. The oil was pumped into the fuel tank and was mixed by the movement of the car after each fill up, 4 wheel hydraulic brakes, the soft top could be manually retracted somewhat like a window curtain. It was light enough that one day after work 4 of my pals had picked it up and moved it so it was straddled the 4x4 parking space dividers when I got there.
Fun times!

Grasshopper, yes there is a Vespa scooter but I think the largest engine is/was just 300CC.

yonson, mine was a 1960. I don't remember where and just when I bought it but sold it in '66. I had my Vette in the Chevy dealer for a little work and the body shop mgr offered to buy it from me.

Jeff, your pals who moved your car must have been strong boys as the car weighed some 800#. (Bet they moved one end at a time.....). Info I cited came from "Standard Catalog of Imported Cars", no mention of the car in annual publications of "Cars Of The World" from 1958-1961.

A few "jocks" back in high school did the same thing with a VW Beetle placing it tightly between 2 trees. The teacher that owned the car was pretty enough to be a model.
Today they would have arrested those boys for stalking! 😁

In the early 60s my cousin Don stopped by with a new Renault 4CV he had just bought. Being a farm boy, he lifted the front end by himself (engine was in the rear).
