Zagato-bodied Abarth 750 Engine and transmission value

What is the approximate value of a 1958 750GT Double Bubble unrestored engine or transmission that is not running due to its sitting in storage? Are either hard to find?

I can see others have chimed in already. I would do a search on classic.com for auction results of prior sales and look for a car that is in a similar condition. You can slo go to our prior auctions/sales page, but it only includes known sales from auctions, etc. The prices for these cars are all over the place. some really run down shells have gone for 18-20K. Some really nice fully restored cars for 85 - 180K.


If your block and transmission can be rebilt there are folks out there. If looking for a correct 747cc engine block, head, air filter, exhaust header, exhaust, etc it will be a big chore. I recently saw one for sale (claiming to be rebuilt) for 14K???? if i remember correctly. It was on instagram and i didnt save the post, so likely wont find it again. Many people use 850cc engines for replacements since 747cc engines are so very difficult to source.


If you wish to share photos and the chassis number please add them to the forum and we can archive the car on our forum image archive.

Thought I'd add this....for color. Haven't had much time to work on/play with my Abarth since I've spent the better part of the summer dealing with my Lotus....(blown head gasket compromising all 4 cylinders...and having to have both DCOE 40 Webers rebuilt and valves shimmed...a pain let me tell you) and now the '57 Triumph TR3, which was running perfectly fine...until it wasn't (while running it sounded like like at least 5 major components were on the virge of falling off and I could never isolate them), I decided to fire up the Abarth...which started up without hesitation and drove it around the neighborhood, frightening dogs, deer and several elderly neighbors out for walks. It's a very tiny....and VERY loud little beast. Will the fun never cease???

Galvanic corrosion

My 1958 DB had a body off restoration in Australia 35 years ago. It is common, I believe, for our cars to experience galvanic corrosion where the alloy body contacts the steel subframe as the material used to separate the two metals ages and degrades.

I am seeing this at the bottom of my doors toward the front.

I am told to totally remove the body and address the underlying steel which is very costly.

Can others with this issue share their solutions? I am told a localized repair can work but will not be as effective longer term.

Thank you.

Would you consider to sell it? I would be a interested buyer as is. My phone number is 203-507-7900.
