From the photos, it appears this little 1958 Fiat 600 Multipla for sale on Hemmings.com has seen little to no use since its restoration, or at least has been treated to extensive cleanings after every outing. Overall, it seems to be a no-issues car ready for shows, tours, or maybe even for starting a tiny-town taxi service. From the seller's description:
Our Fiat Multipla 600 is a station wagon version used exclusively to carry people. It was totally restored by the current owner of 15 years. All of the materials used in the restoration appear to be appropriate and remain in excellent condition. This is the Sport version that does not have jump seats and the seats do fold down. The motor number matches the data plate and performs very nicely, moving the Multipla down the road at close to 60mph!

GM V8 power from several generations dominates the list of vehicles successfully sold on Hemmings Auctions and Hemmings Make Offer this past week that are detailed here. Original condition, low-mile examples included a pair of cars with Corvette-sourced engines: a 1996 Impala SS with LT1 V8 power and a 2006 Pontiac GTO with a 6.0-liter LS2 that made the Australian-built coupe a potent performer. A 1955 Chevy 210 sedan street rod with Bel Air trim looked to have been modified by a builder with an exceptional eye for detail. The latest generation Corvette showed no signs of diminishing in the eyes of collectors, though we do hope everyone is enjoying driving these American-made exotics, like the 2023 Vette that changed hands last week. A ’40 Ford Coupe with a modified flathead V8 had all the old-school, stealth hot rod vibe anyone could ask for. Finally, a Fiat 600 Jolly replica gave off its own old-school vibes, but in more of a Mediterranean beachfront sort of feeling.
For the week of May 5 through May 11, a total of 46 listings crossed the Hemmings Auctions block. Including Make Offer listings of previously ended auctions, a total of 30 cars were sold, resulting in a net 65% sell-through rate. An additional 18 cars were sold via direct Make Offer listings.

2023 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray
Reserve: $76,000
Selling Price: $84,000
Recent Market Range: $70,000-$88,000
Though it’s been on the market for five model years (with a few of those years interrupted by pandemic-era supply-chain issues), the eighth generation Corvette remains popular with collectors. This Red Mist Metallic over Natural leather 2023 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray sold at a market-correct price as a post-auction Make Offer listing amid a strong number of views of the listing. Equipped with the top-end 3LT package, it featured the 495-hp, mid-mounted LT2 V8 and eight-speed automatic of all base Corvettes, though it remains hard to call this American exotic a “base” car of any sort. For all intents and purposes, this C8 was a brand-new car with less than 1,500 miles at the time of submission.
1940 Ford Deluxe Coupe
Reserve: $40,000
Selling Price: $44,100
Recent Market Range: $45,000-$67,000
Plenty of ’40 Ford Coupes have been turned into street rods, an understandable situation for someone enamored with the car’s distinctive look and also desiring a bit more power. This 1940 Ford Deluxe Coupe seemed to bridge the gap between original and street rod, with a ground-up restoration from 20 years ago that included some period speed parts for its 221-cu.in. flathead V8, including Offenhauser cylinder heads and intake topped with a pair of Stromberg 97 carburetors. The body and interior appeared stock and clean, with the seller indicating less than 500 miles since all was completed. Though it sold just below market expectations, it did achieve a net sale price 20% stronger than its reserve.
1969 Fiat 500 Jolly Replica
Reserve: $0
Selling Price: $26,250
Recent Market Range: $24,000-$32,000
With the assistance of Ghia, Fiat made approximately 650 Jolly runabouts based on the Fiat 500 and 600 in the late 1950s and early 1960s. With a fringe-lined fabric roof and wicker seats, the diminutive Jolly proved a perfect beach car, whether in Calais or California. Though no definitive numbers are available, estimates have the remaining original Jolly population in the low triple digits. Given that limited availability and the huge number of Fiat 500s built over the years, more and more replicas are reaching the market. This 1969 Fiat 500 Jolly replica appeared to be a faithful reproduction based on a later car. Offered at no reserve, a single, early knockout bid landed this one squarely in the market range.
1955 Chevrolet 210 Restomod
Reserve: $63,000
Selling Price: $57,750
Recent Market Range: $49,000-$70,000
This 1955 Chevrolet 210 restomod included a lot of conventional features, such as its recently rebuilt 350-cu.in. V8 with Edelbrock four-barrel carb, aluminum intake manifold and aluminum cylinder heads. It was all backed with a TH350 three-speed automatic and Ford 9-inch rear end. What did appear to be unconventional was its exceptional level of detail, such as its smoothed engine bay which looked very tidy in the seller’s photos. There were plenty of other custom touches, too, from the Dakota Digital gauge cluster to the Lexus-sourced leather seats and lots more. A former magazine car that scored well in shows, this 210 two-door sedan sold for a market-correct price as a post-auction Make Offer listing.
2006 Pontiac GTO
Asking Price: $28,750
Selling Price: $28,350
Recent Market Range: $22,000-$32,000
Pontiac did not go out with a whimper at the end of 2009, with GM’s excitement division selling some interesting cars in its final decade. Among those hot cars was this 2006 Pontiac GTO, a two-door coupe sourced from GM’s Holden subsidiary out of Australia. While the car may have been assembled down under, the LS2 6.0-liter V8 under the hood of all ’05 and ’06 GTOs was cribbed directly from the Corvette. This example was equipped with the desirable six-speed manual and featured a relatively rare hue known as Brazen Orange. Most importantly to bidders, this direct Make Offer listing indicated that the car was original and that its odometer reading of 10,667 miles at submission was accurate.
1996 Chevrolet Impala SS
Reserve: $15,400
Selling Price: $20,738
Recent Market Range: $15,000-$24,000
Chevrolet’s swan song in the body-on-frame sedan category included a bona fide muscle car in the form of the 1994-’96 Impala SS. Based on the Caprice 9C1 police package, the Impala SS brought back a storied name and turned the staid sedan into a serious performer. Powered by a 260-hp, all cast-iron LT1 V8 mated to a 4L60-E four-speed automatic and 10-bolt Posi rear end with 3.08 gears, the SS also featured four-wheel disc brakes and 17-inch alloy wheels. For 1996 only, the SS got a floor shifter and analog gauges. This 1996 Chevrolet Impala SS showed less than 39,000 miles on the odometer, with a listing boasting of lots of originality, and easily bested its reserve by a strong 35%.
