The car culture in California is so extreme that it has become challenging to acquire a vehicle that truly stands out at car exhibitions. Even high-performance cars are no longer deemed impressive enough. Nevertheless, we believe we have stumbled upon an unusual vehicle that will capture the attention of crowds at Cars & Coffee without costing a fortune.
Once again, Bring a Trailer presents this 1958 Fiat Abarth 750 GT Zagato for sale, boasting its unique and captivating appearance. The quirky design of the 750 GT, with its peculiar “double-bubble” rear end and roof, is the creation of Zagato, who aimed to enhance the sporty and aesthetic appeal beyond that of the Fiat 600 hatchback on which it is based.
Originally used for racing in Europe, it underwent a meticulous restoration in the 1980s after which the previous owner, a rally enthusiast, took it to various rallies across the U.K. before settling in Southern California.
Equipped with a restored 903cc four-cylinder engine from a Fiat 850 paired with a four-speed manual gearbox, this car also features smaller General Electric headlights, a period-correct roll cage, racing lap belts, aftermarket trim components, and removable Monza tribute decals. Other than some paintwork modifications, the vehicle remains largely original and displays 13,000 miles on the odometer.

The seller highlights that despite its compact dimensions, this Fiat provides ample space—featuring small 12-inch wheels—and can comfortably accommodate individuals over six feet tall. It serves as an ideal addition for vintage car enthusiasts seeking a vehicle that differs from the standard ’70s classics and can fit alongside their daily driver in the garage.
With the purchase, buyers will also receive the original 747cc engine, a leather-wrapped Abarth steering wheel, and action photos of this Abarth during its participation in numerous rallies.
