62-year ownership



1960 Fiat-Abarth 750 GT Zagato Double Bubble



Just out of 62 years of loving enthusiast ownership, this 1960 Fiat Abarth 750 GT Derivazione Coupe Zagato aka "Double Bubble" is a beautiful example that runs and drives fantastic and has many performance upgrades. Bianco with a U.S. racing team blue stripe. The previous owner purchased the car from his boss in 1964 and has owned the car ever since. The car was sitting in a barn in a small rural village in upstate NY when he purchased it. He then towed the car back to his driveway where the work began. He then got the car back on the road and enjoyed it for several years until the mid 1970s when he decided to rebuild the engine.



It was at this time that the original engine and transaxle went missing while they were out of the car awaiting rebuilding and reinstallation. He then made the decision to source the engine from his Fiat-Abarth OT-1000 Spider. Prior to the installation, the OT-1000 engine was refreshed and fitted with new 66 mm Arias forged aluminum pistons. The crank was sent to a balance shop where it was spun balanced to 15,000 RPM.



During the reassembly all moving parts were weighed and matched to .1 gram and the engine runs smooth and strong to this day. The car has seen a few appropriate modifications over the years including a Hewland Mk4 4 speed manual transaxle with quick change gears. True to the Abarth tradition, this car was made stronger and faster using the best technology available at the time. According to the previous owner, he tried to modify the car in a way that the Abarth factory would have done if they had kept producing the vehicle.
