Possibly... but some how I doubt it. The OTS 1000 is extremely rare. There were only 400 made if I'm not mistaken, and one in good condition can sell for over 50k



That white OTS weighed about 1800lbs(with driver + a full tank of gas) and had well over 180hp. Not bad for a little car in the 70's...

In the 60s & 70s Abarth built some really fast little Fiats, real pocket rockets. I knew a guy back in the 70s who used to race them, fast for their size. I also had a Abarth exhaust on a MGA I owned, really put out a nice sound.

Nice pic of that old Abarth.



Most Abarth's SUCK. Of course that's more the fact that they are Fiats then anything else. Abarth did make some nice F1 style race cars back in the 70's. The one car that makes everyone wonder about the guy's sanity is the Fiat 500 conversion...where they had to prop up the deck lid to hold the engine.



Intresting cars in a sick, morbid sort of way. I knew a guy who had a Fiat and an Abarth conversion. Plus Abarth made mufflers for VW's as well.



Plus I like to say it. Cmon try it!



Abarth Abarth Abarth Abarth Abarth!

I believe Abarth went down hill after Fiat bought them out, but don't quote me on that.

That is very true, they started putting the name on everything and the performance image went south.



Carlo Abarth started with Porsches IIRC.
