This Fulvia Zagato came out of a garage in LA that was filled with old Ferraris. If you wanted one car you had to buy them all. This Zagato was way in the back and hadn't moved in a decade or two. It is a First series car. Actually # 16 of the first 202 cars that were built, with all panels in aluminum. It has the original and desireable 1.2 motor and is as original as one is bound to find. All the upholstery is untouched. Some call it patina, someone else may say it is just old, but remember they can can be original only once. You can restore them many times but they will never be original again. I tried to do what the Italians do: They call it conserving a car, not restoring it.
No longer for sale.

I have owned this Zagato for several years and put about $10,000 of shop time into it. The brakes came apart; master and all calipers. The engine was freshened up with valves and bearings. The transmission came out so I could lubricate the shift & clutch pivots. New lower ball joints, new tie rod ends, new tires, alignment, all lights, gauges taken apart and the glass cleaned from the inside out so they glisten. The rear hatch motor was repaired, 4 new exhaust systems to get one that doesn't leak in the cabin with that hatch open. A new handmade radiator with the original header tanks, a new hand built heater core, (real heat in the winter...) Heck, I even had the original clock taken apart and repaired instead of substituting a quartz replica. It ticks when you sit in the car and listen to it at night. It's just not the same to hear a hum..
