1968 OTAS 820

THIS CAR WAS ORIGINALLY IMPORTED BY RICH MOTORS (1 OF 65). LOMBARDI BUILT THE CAR TO USA SPECIFICATIONS ON A FIAT 850 SPECIAL CHASSIS. WHEN RICH MOTORS GOT THE CAR THEY PULLED THE MOTOR and SLEEVED IT TO 64 MM BORE, INSTALLED THEIR OWN HIGH COMPRESSION PISTONS, A MILD CAMSHAFT, A SOLEX CARBURETOR WITH FREE FLOW AIR CLEANER, AND THEIR OWN ALLOY OIL PAN SO IT COULD BE SOLD IN NORTH AMERICA WITHOUT NEEDING TO PASS EMISSIONS RULES.

THIS CAR IS MISSING THE ENGINE LID, REAR BUMPER, AND REAR EMBLEM. EVERYTHING ELSE SEEMS TO BE THERE, EXCEPT WHAT THE RUST MONSTER HAS EATEN. THE CAR NEEDS COMPLETE RESTORATION. IT WILL NEED TO BE COMPLETELY DISASEMBLED, ALL THE RUST REPAIRED, THE MECHANICALS REBUILT, AND THEN LOVINGLY REASSEMBLED. THIS IS NOT A JOB FOR THE PERSON THAT THINKS IT WILL BE QUICK AND EASY, IT WILL BE NIETHER. IF YOU HIRE A PROFESSIONAL, IT WILL BE EXPENSIVE. THIS CAR IS TOO RARE TO PART OUT. MOST OF THE BODY PANELS ARE AVALIABLE IN EUROPE.

THE CAR IS CURRENTLY LEGALLY TITLED IN CHRIS OBERT's NAME IN THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA, SO EXPORTING AND CHANGING TO YOUR NAME WILL BE EASY.
