1959 Fiat Abarth 750 Zagato

1959 Fiat Abarth 750 Zagato \"Double Bubble\" CoupeThis barn-find 1959 Fiat Abarth 750 Zagato \"Double Bubble\" Coupe is a special and rare car that\'s been patiently awaiting a much deserved restoration. It has a period-correct engine that\'s dismantled but complete. All the trims around the nice aluminum Zagato body are present, in good shape, and nicely aligned. The dashboard is complete with its Abarth Gauges and all the badges are with the car. The car is mainly complete and intact. A project well-worth the effort. The main items missing are the Zagato seats. Once restored, it would undoubtedly be a welcome entrant for driving events. One of Carlo Abarth\'s most successful series of GT cars was based on the FIAT 600, the first of these handsome little Zagato-bodied coup?s - the 750 - appearing in 1956. 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. Celebrated Double-Bubble?
