1970 FIAT ABARTH 500

About Liberty Motorsports

With the talented help of Theo Sahli from "Theo's Exotic Auto" here in Orange County, we are restoring a Fiat 500 Abarth.

Theo is the "go to" guy, for early Ferrari, Alfa, and Fiat cars. He has sourced all correct NOS Abarth items for the car, including his built up 700cc, 75 HP motor. These parts are sourced in Italy from a very small community of Abarth aficionados. Theo knows them all, like we all know the 356 Pre - A guys world wide.

We have entered this car in the "Italiano Concourso" in Monterey in August 2018.

2018 "Corporate Award Winner"

1959 Meissen Blue "A" Cabriolet

VIN #15186

SOLD

This numbers, date matching Cabriolet in correct factory Meissen Blue over Red full leather was delivered with a factory steel hard top, and full split tonneau. The body and paint are complete, and the balance of the restoration is underway. This will be a Liberty Motorsports "Signature" restoration to factory specifications. Original tools, and jack are included of course, presented as new.

Every system will be refurbished as new. New wiring harness, and converted to 12 volt, as with all my cars. Panel fit and gaps are factory or better. A stunning example of the last, and in my opinion the best "A" car produced.

1963 VW Type II Transporter

SOLD

This will be the Liberty Motorsport's shop truck and car hauler when complete. We will letter it in the livery of a Porsche race support vehicle, as seen at many European tracks in the 60s. Note: Pre - A dash, Speedster seats, Safari windows, 2.5 Type IV mill, Eberspatcher heater, Hurst shifter, etc.

CUSTOMER CAR

1970 VW Type Transporter Single Cab.

This truck was prepared for the President, CEO of Porsche Motorsports North America. It debuted at the Porsche Werks Reunion in Monterey CA. in August 2014. It was also present at the Pit Garages at Laguna Seca Raceway the same weekend. The paint and livery are as close to original using a fuel door from the Brumos Porsche, M/B '70s race support truck, and photos from both the Porsche and VW archives. There are no add-ons, it is just as delivered to Porsche from Volkswagen when new. It will be housed at the LA Experience Center in Carson, CA.

This two owner California car came to me from a friend who owned it for 42 years. If you saw earlier pictures, you saw a "California Custom" finished by him to his taste. There are complete service records going back to the early 60s. from some of the most well known CA. shops active at that time.

As seen in the pictures, the body and paint were completed by the second owner, and the car is in near perfect condition, attesting to the quality of his work. We have completed a 9 month refurbishment of everything non factory on this car. It is now as it was, except for a color change, and a 12 volt conversion.

This is a numbers and date matching car with what we believe to be all original panels. One of the "Pretty Ones" available for inspection, appointment please. Boot, split tonneau, tools, and jack included of course.

1960 Austin Healey Bug Eye Sprite

This was my first sports car in 1963, or one like it, also my first restoration. This example is a numbers matching show quality restoration I purchased for a Summer driver. It is a delight, just like it was fifty years ago. I would NOT tour Europe in it however. Lucas Electrics and all.
