I already have three cars in my garage.. and one in the drive. Only one is drivable and one is already italian (not the same car) or I WOULD be all over this. I would love a nice 76 Scorpion

No you don't. You get shivers thinking about a Webered Alfa 3L V6 in it...

With a painless wiring harness installed

And a brake kit adapted on from some other car

And a fuel cell and line setup from some circle track stuff

And a decent cooling system fabbed up from scratch

And a good exhaust system fabbed up from scratch

And some handling added on by a bunch of fabrication and parts swappage.

Easy, right? You could apply all of those things to a Pinto and the resulting car would be very similar, all but that exhaust note and body. I guess what I am saying is, build a rolling running chassis first, and then buy the car to put on top. You'll be happier that way.

and my oh my that thing is ugly

HAHA, good one! I shall now be quiet...

Euro version: This may be the car I spent a weekend driving. I don't believe the factory every painted them black for the US market.

I've always wanted one, but they all started out looking like this:

...and they all end up looking like this:

Since I bought the SBC Mercedes, I'm definitely not buying this, so anyone who is interested can contact me for the seller's info. I know he's very motivated...

Want but no money and I am too big.

Yeah... They have way less room than an x1/9. I saw a perfect other than extreme sun damaged one in the junkyard here once, it was before I had heard of them though.
