Thatllbe fun. When i moved to our house there were 2 wide bodied x19s rotting away next door to us. I think they got scrapped. I have a very good series of books by Al Cosintion, who was a crazy Abarth Nut. I went out to California in 2004 with a mate and we spent an afternoon with him, his muffler museam , his cars and his dead labrodore who was under a tea towel on a trolly in the dining room. He said that the dog was the prototipo! We sat round a table that had a bowl full of abarth badges in the middle. We had the oportunity to go in to a room and just soak up the vibes. A nice experience. He also had a mazda rx3 race car that he raced at Daytona in the late 70s. He died a few years back and the cars and Faza got sold to an Australian. The rx3 is now in Nz. Wish i had bought that one.

This is the car.
He wrote the Faza x19 , 128 race world manual. Get a copy if you buy the car.

Body was restored over two decades ago, then oxided. Has had the inner wings strengthened to run fibreglass wings. Has the Mk1 uno turbo engine in it as it drops straight in. The car has been in a garage ever since...the garage has heating!!!!
Am still on the lookout for a decent shell to stick my maserati Biturbo engine in. Even have a compact 6 speed gearbox to fit with the bell housing made.
