1967 Fiat 600 Sedan

This 1967 Fiat Abarth 1000 TC Berlina Corsa is said to have undergone a two-year refurbishment starting in 1997 under the guidance of Albert Cosentino. It was subsequently campaigned in Vintage Auto Racing Association (VARA), Historic Sportscar Racing (HSR), and Sports Car Club of America (SCCA) Solo events under previous ownership. The car wears flared bodywork that is is finished in white with yellow graphics and features a front-mounted radiator as well as an open decklid cover. Power is provided by a replacement 1050cc Abarth inline-four linked with a five-speed manual transaxle and a limited-slip differential. The race-prepped interior is fitted with a single low-back bucket seat accompanied by a multi-point harness and a roll cage. Further equipment includes a Lifeline fire suppression system, a Fuel Safe fuel cell, Koni shocks, Girling disc brakes, and 13″ Campagnolo wheels. Work following the selling dealer’s March 2023 acquisition is said to have involved adjusting the Weber dual-throat carburetor and changing the oil. This 1000TC Berlina Corsa is now offered by the selling dealer with an Abarth reference book, a poster, and a clean Florida title. Based on the contemporary Fiat 600D, the 850 and 1000 TC were developed by Abarth for Group 2 and later Group 5 touring car competition and built in varying specifications from 1961 to 1970. This example features a front-mounted radiator shroud secured by dzus fasteners, flared fenders, and an open decklid cover that doubles as a rear wing. It is finished in white with yellow graphics and black 7 numbering on the hood and doors along with various decals. Additional exterior details include an emergency electrical cut-off switch, a left mirror, windshield wipers, and polycarbonate side and rear windows as well as a single exhaust outlet with an oval finisher. Close-up photos show wear in the paint around the car and cracks near the right-rear quarter window vent hole. Staggered-width 13″ Campagnolo wheels are finished in gold and mounted with 185/60 Toyo Proxes R888 front and 205/60 MRF Legends rear tires. The suspension features Koni shocks, and braking is handled by Girling discs at all four corners. The stripped cockpit houses a roll cage as well as a single low-back bucket seat joined by a G-Force multi-point harness and window net. A tank for the Lifeline Zero 360 fire suppression system is mounted to the floor to the right of the central chassis tunnel. The leather-wrapped Abarth steering wheel frames Jaeger instrumentation consisting of a 10,600-rpm tachometer, a 105-mph speedometer, and a combination gauge. A separate water temperature gauge is centrally mounted atop the body-color dash. The five-digit odometer shows just under 2k miles, and total mileage is unknown. A Fuel Safe fuel cell is installed in the front trunk along with the battery. The replacement 1050cc Abarth inline-four was reportedly installed in 2012. It is fitted with a Weber 36 DCD 7 dual-throat carburetor as well as an external oil cooler. Work in preparation for the sale included adjusting the carburetor and changing the oil. Power is sent to the rear wheels through a close-ratio five-speed manual transaxle and a limited-slip differential.
