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.

Damn... if I had room I'd buy it just to play around with until Lancia is the featured marque at the Watkins Glen vintage festival... but like wc, I already have too many cars living outside.

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...

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.
