Abarth/Faza/Cosentino

Was trying to find some info to see if Abarth exhausts are still made when I came along to the Faza/Cosentino site. I remember him from the 70s as having some great stuff advertised but seeming a bit 'eccentric' back then.

Well, the new FAZA/Abarth website takes eccentric to an entirely new level. I'll leave it at that, and he doesn't seem to be selling anything anymore.

Does anyone know if Abarth stuff is still available?

thanks

Any site with a Drawing of Enzo directly over a photo of 002C can't be all bad...

 

There are plenty of info on this website, but the web designer should be shot!
I got a headache trying to read the stuff.
No, I don't think that Abarth stuff is still available these days.

When Abarth closed its doors, the name was carried on by FIAT, but the sportscars racing team was bought by Osella (still exists), and some of the kits for small FIATs were acquired by Giannini at the time.

 

Carlo Abarth was always amazing to me - too bad his stuff is not around so much anymore. Thanks.

I guess anyone with Enzo and 002C can't be all bad indeed!

 

Al is a nut! <grin> I think he's still around. You really need to go there if you're going to buy something, but he's still got a bunch of stuff in Thousand Oaks, IIRC.

 

Al is still around. I am sure he sends stuff out UPS or US Mail. If you are local, he'll meet you at a gas station near his house. If you are lucky, he'll invite you to follow him to his house and take a million roads that will confuse you so you can't find it on your own again. Once you're there, you won't believe what's in his garage.

 

i agree with peter on this. in fact, i think one of the more interesting conversations i have ever had was with al. it began w/ me looking for a pipe for an alfa and ended w/ al telling me i should buy his business! he is one of a kind...i hope he is still well?

Try Berni Motori in Maleo, Italy:

Although his website used to have some stuff, it's best to get your hands on his "2 Mila" cataloge and current supplement and order by fax/mail (FYI, I haven't dealt with him).

Also Guy Moerenhout in Belgium:

http://www.abarth-gmr.be/

Have spoken with him a while back (about his 308 GT4... ), seems like a good guy and his site certainly lists lost of stuff for sale.

 

I would like to meet Al but I dont know if I can make it through all the Racist rantings.. JJ

 

Many thanks - will try to contact. I believe Marmitte Abarth was still active in the 70's when the 308 Dinos were introduced, and was wondering if they ever did a real Abarth exhaust for the Ferrari transverse V-8.

 

In all of those period advertisements I have seen, I never saw a system listed for the 308. It appears to me, that ANSA was the only one supplying systems for Ferrari during that period.
