1962 Simca Bertone 1000 - were they ever rally cars ?

[DaveA]

Hi

I was talking to my friend today and he has one in his garage with no motor ,

I found these  pictures on the web,
http://www.highwayone.com/Classifieds/Simca/99laae.html
its this style , but this is NOT the car ,

His is a 1962 , sitting for over 20 years,

were these ever rallye cars ?
is there a  better motor to put it in ?

Any photos , of one in rallye trim ?

Thanks for the info

Dave

  anyone want to trade it for some  600 based Abarth parts ?

Its in California

These cars are very rare. The 1000 Simca was used as a basis for all of the Abarth 1300-2000 Simca motors. My guess is these are expensive options to modify this car with. Gordini also made some parts and motors for these.

The problem is that right now there is NO motor ,

He threw it away 20 years ago, was planning on putting a VW motor in it ,

He never did , and its been sitting ever  20 years
