Interesting car on craigslist

Not mine, looks cool but I know nothing about it....

I don't think I've ever seen one that wasn't black and gold.

In reply to Woody:

A friend's father from Jr High School had one of those. That color too. The moved to Florida a long time ago. I wonder if that is the same car

Someone has a little bit of an inflated sense of the cars value - there are two in apparently similar condition for sale out here for about half that and they've been for sale for most of the year.

They're pretty cool cars though.

In reply to BoxheadTim:

I agree with all of that.

I hear they're so light, you can push it with one finger..

My step mother had a Lancia of a vintage just a couple years older than that one. She sold it after one year when it failed to start for the zillionth time and replaced it with a turtleback Celica.

Whats the deal with people covering their license plates for CL pics? They do realize that every person who has ever been behind them in traffic has seen it, right? Its not exactly privileged information.

Haha

Saw one parked at a golf course last summer. Later that day while cruising CL, I punched in Lancia just to see if there were actually any around for sale, and lo and behold the car I had seen earlier in the day was on CL for $9.5K. It spent the whole summer there getting posted every few days.

Not bad looking but rust out and are sloooooow.

I keep forgetting that the US got the neutered versions of them (again). Back in the early nineties I owned a couple of 2L HPEs and they weren't exactly slow cars. Rusting well, yes, but not slow.
