1953 Abarth 1100 Sport by Ghia, chassis 205-104, 1953 Turin Salon and 1954 New York Auto Show car. "The last of four Abarth 205 competition chassis built, it is the only example to use an engine and transmission developed from the new Fiat 1100-103, as well as the only example bodied by Ghia. ... Abarth sold the car to American Bill Vaughn, who exhibited it at the 1954 New York Auto Show as the Vaughn SS Wildcat, with “the first overhead camshaft V-8 in the USA.” If Vaughn did indeed re-power the car with a V-8, no photos of the installation survive, and the car never saw the limited production run that he envisioned. ...... the Abarth was exhibited at the 2015 Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance, where it won its class and was nominated for Best of Show, a remarkable achievement for a post-war car.". |
