Nice Lancia Beta, $1500, Pittsburgh

Not mine...

Even with the rust, it could be one of the best ones in the country.

That's a cool little car for the price. I may have to make the trip to go look at it!

For some reason I keep finding myself attracted to Lancia Betas but that one is too nice for me.

Those are cool, but they kind of remind me of the old Celica coupes, with maybe a dash of old Prelude. Not that that's a bad thing.

Wasn't the rust a no charge factory option on those?

Not an option at all. It was standard and did not have a delete option.

In reply to 16vCorey:

I happen to painfully know precisely where a sweet white '79 Celica is. With a $3800obo for sale sign in the window taunting me every morning. Neighbor's selling it. With more garage space and a shorter backlog of projects it would be mine.

I know the car you speak of, and it's pretty damn sweet.

I know OF the car you guys are speaking of, and it sounds pretty damn sweet.

Dang, only the 2nd one I've seen in yellow. For a minute there I thought it was my old beta

I still prefer Oliver... but the Beta is pretty kewl :)... would love to own a lancia at some point... suppose I better hurry up before they all rust out

Must be trickeration! A car that comes factory equipped with rust, in the rust belt, with minimal rust? It just can't be.

It must be Lancia liquidation week; http://knoxville.craigslist.org/cto/3364296386.html

Seems pricey compared to the Pittsburgh car too.

the one in Knoxville is a 2.0 model and a lot more desirable if a Beta can be

Prolly owned by a wierd old nuclear scientist.

These cars, like the Biturbo, rarely seem to exceed 100k miles.
