A project well-worth the effort. Once restored, it would undoubtedly be a welcome entrant for driving events.Carlo Abarth took over the .....
famous early post-war Italian manufacturer Cisitalia in 1949, renaming cars in inventory Abarths. He went on to introduce highly tuned and modified Fiats, including the 750, a Fiat 600 with its engine bored and stroked to 747 cc, a modified camshaft and flywheel, and a larger carburetor, good for nearly 40 bhp and a top speed of more than 80 mph. Soon the highly respected coachbuilder Zagato took on production of Abarth?s coupe bodies, turning out a rounded, streamlined design that in its initial sketches had a roof so low that there was scant headroom for a person of normal stature. A solution was found in adding twin bulges to the roof contour, the famous double bubbles that have since become synonymous with sporting Zagato coupes. It did not take long for it to start making news, as it took a 2nd in class at the Mille Miglia. The following year, a total of five cars finished the Mille Miglia, with Alfonso Thiele driving one to a 1st place finish in the 750-cc class. Many a racer felt the sting of being passed and finishing behind a car emblazoned with the Abarth scorpion. Purposeful and Striking Zagato Double-Bubble Design One of Carlo Abarth?s Most Successful Models Rare, desirable, and collectible Ideal entrant for vintage driving events once restoredPrice: $52,500
