Wish I still had mine.
1976 #132 50,000 miles Not restored… more of a rolling restoration. Needed “nothing” when I bought it four years ago. That was my story… several thousand $$$ later it is quite sorted out. A previuos owner added some goodies to the engine. My contribution to the car was gently restoring the suspension. Replaced all rubber throughout and replaced the springs with Euro/Montecarlo springs which lowered the car 1.5 inches. The car handles fantastic and I have yet to see another on the road…

bravenraceA friend of mine had one in high school, circa 1977. Cool car!
SnakedriverWhat kind of engine does it have? Is it RWD? Looks great. Leo
T_RoccoThanks, I think it would be a car you could miss as it is quite unique... The first one I had was owned by someone in high school when it was spun into a pole and left in a field for 15 years... just parts. Sorry, it is a 1.8L DOHC, single Weber 34, 5 speed. All transverse mounted, midships, driving the rear wheels. Rides very much like my friends 308...
racerdave600Very nice looking car! I've always liked them, and had a friend that bought one that was turbocharged by a place in Florida in the early '80's. It was a ballistic fast...until it had a major melt down. It sat in a locked fence area of an apartment complex until the management had it towed to a scrap yard. I wish I had been there to intercept it. Great looking car!
T_RoccoDave, I have yet to hear about a Fiat/Lancia with an aftermarket turbo set up that is anything but "melt down" they aren't built to run those levels of stress. A guy on the west coast has transplanted a Lancia turbo into his Scorpion and has dyno tested 284 bhp at the rear wheels... with that kind of power and a potential to get the car under 2000 pounds it should be wicked fast/quick!
PapaTonyI just gotta give our bigger brother a vote here... nice lookin' survivor here!
