#787 Of 1,806/1.8L DOHC I4/5-Speed Manual/Roll Back Roof/Groovy Tweed Seating

1976 Lancia Scorpion Additional Info:

1976 Lancia Scorpion For consignment, #787 of 1806 total Scorpions built. This is a solid buttress version only offered the first year of production, making it even more desirable. It has the factory Lampredi 4 cylinder mid engine and 5-speed transmission along with a roll up cloth roof. It also has a re-upholstered tweed interior that is just a fab 70's color combo. Low miles and lots of handling and acceleration for this not oft seen version, and we are just like kids in an Italian candy store! Exterior The 70's gave us the square and rectangle designs I often talk about, and this car uses it to a sporty advantage. It starts with a blunt thin nose that sports hidden headlights that actually pop up to meet federal height standards, but you can still see them through the grille when down. A Lancia badge is boldly in the center, and there is a charcoal Camaro type stripe encircling the front edge. Below is a crash chrome bumper sticking out forward of the grille. A sporty long pony car hood and we have arrived at the canvas roll up topped cockpit. This is just a 2 door sports car that has some nice glass on the sides and flying large buttresses mounted into the flat aft section of the back of the car. A vertical rear glass is between the large buttresses, and the back of the car boot lid is hinged, lifting to the drivers side to reveal the engine and spare tire. A vertical rear roll pan houses the horizontal tail lighting, also square and rectangle in nature. The entire car is bathed in white with some black accenting on the front stripe, roof edging and rear tail light area. White X styled wheels are wrapped in like new rubber all around. Interior Like a nicely preserved 70's kitchen with Avocado appliances, this car takes up to the designers edge with an interesting use of color combo. It uses burnt orange tweed for the seats which are newly recovered, and these sit within a sea of red vinyl and molded plastic. High back buckets with headrests rest on red carpeting which is near perfect. Door panels are also red vinyl as is the square and rectangle designed dash. Here we see a rectangle speedo and instrument cluster, red padded rounded over dash top, a center pillar housing the radio, and open space and clock and button controls. T his central section melts into a center console that has the shifter and handbrake. A black rally steering wheel is fronting the dash and above if you roll the black canvas top backs you can view the clouds and sun above. Gotta love it all, even those burnt orange tweeds. Drivetrain Under that side hinged rear deck lid sits a mid-mounted Lampredi 1.8L DOHC mill. It has a Weber carburetor and a 5-speed synchromesh manual tranny. The exhaust is the only non original feature in this car, as it is now quad tipped which makes it more menacing. All is looking good under this rear mounted hood. Undercarriage Up in the air we are greeted with fully independent suspension, and 4 wheel disc braking. Some floor pan repairs are noted and some invasive rust is still seen at the edged of the repairs. Overall things remain intact, but with surface rust on the usual suspects. Drive-Ability She fired right up and idled smoothly. On the test track it ran like it was on rails and had more acceleration than one would think dude to such light weight. Very aero, very cutting like a knife through air with its wedged design. Open the top and enjoy the ride, which I did! I noted the driver's power window was inoperable, the heater blower didn't blow, and the turn signals wouldn't flash. A nice example, somewhat rare and a nifty little not exotic but not ordinary sports car from Lancia. All working and owned by a collector who would take it out on occasions and stretch its legs, but it was mostly for show, so it shows with low miles. Snap this one up and own a rare Italian bird. Classic Auto Mall is a 336,000-square foot classic and special interest automobile showroom, featuring over 850 vehicles for sale with showroom space for up to 1,000 vehicles.
