1979 Abarth Formula 2000

Serial Number: SE033-0054 Engine Number: tbd Gearbox Number: 00074 15/51 Logbooks: none Condition: Very Good to Excellent Price: $18,000 US Location: Central California US

Description A runner, the car is something of a mystery, apparently being produced for an Italian spec series by the venerable tuning concern Abarth. Full of lovely alloy castings ranging from the suspension rockers to the engine and even the pedals it would be a fascinating addition to any Abarth collection, or perhaps still has opportunities for competition in Italy. We would appreciate information about the car and series from one of our Italian viewers or anyone else who might have more information on what is for us an intriguing oddity.
