1970 ABARTH 1300 Scorpione SS | Vintage Underground Profiles

This is the first video in a new series - The Motorist Experience! Different customers of ours have agreed to take us on a driving tour with some of their rare, classic cars. They will talk a little about what about makes these cars so special to them, including the quirks but also what makes them so appealing.
Episode One is a 1970 Abarth 1300 Scorpione SS, and owner Alex Haugland will take us for a spin on the back roads of Oregon. Alex is a firm believer in driving his eclectic collection, and has a weakness for this head turning Abarth.
Please subscribe to the Vintage Underground so that you don’t miss out on any future experiences.

Oh wow, there's a Lombardi in Oregon. I fell in love with this car in High School, when I checked out the 1969 World Car Catalog at the library. Any tours of your car collection? I must see one before I die.

I briefly owned an OTAS 1000 back in the 1970s. Answer a question for me, your video states that the Abarth Scorpione was "the last car independently designed by Abarth". However, it has always been my understanding that my OTAS sat upon a Fiat 850 spider chassis. Have I thought wrong all these years?

Love the intro!

Had a couple of fiats, a 1300/124 Abarth, OTAS 820 and a 1000. Beautiful cars. Only saw one Scorpione 1300 at Quail Lodge when Abarth was featured marque. Don’t think they made many. Always wanted a 2000!

Its really amazing how low to the ground this car is in person!

There was one of these that ran around the South End of Boston during the 70's. I'd see it from time to time and have absolute spasms of car-lust!

If you are in Eugene, stop by.

Is this an S or an SS?
