The Abarth 1000 GT Coupé is a 2-door coupé from Abarth, built from 1958, at the height of the post-war boom. Under the bonnet: 998 . Franco Scaglione at Bertone drew it.
The background
The Abarth 1000 GT Coupé or Alfa Romeo 1000 Abarth GT Bertone Coupé is a prototype car made by the Italian car producer Abarth in collaboration with Alfa Romeo, and designed by Franco Scaglione for Bertone. Three cars were built; one example survives, rebodied by Luigi Colani.
The engineering
Power comes from 998 . It weighs 640 kg. It shifts through a 5-speed manual. The wheelbase is 2160 mm. These are manufacturer figures carried by Wikipedia and Wikidata, not road-test measurements.
Where it sits
Its contemporaries in the catalogue — the Mini Mini, the Dodge Challenger, the Nissan Skyline — show what else the money bought that year. Its Abarth stablemates include the Abarth 124 Rally and the Abarth 124 Spider.
What it costs now
There is no federal ownership record for the Abarth 1000 GT Coupé — it predates the complaint database or was never sold in the United States — so MotorJury publishes no running-cost figure for it. For a car of this age the price is set by the collector market and the condition of the individual example, not by a formula.
