this is so the opposite of a cadillac, but I love it! I would totally buy it if it was more like $6000.

Rare 1976 Lancia Scorpion, in the UK and Continent called a Monte Carlo: Mid engine 1800cc Twin Cam, 5 Speed, all Disc brakes, original paint, runs like a watch, passes SMOG, and is very original. Only some 1700 of 7000 produced were imported to the US over a two year span, and many sadly have died a rusty death.
This little Lancia screams Italian all the way, Pininfarina (of Ferrari) design, retro color, funky roll up top ala a Topolino, classic arms extended Alfa Romeo driving position and all the right sounds from the Fiat derived overhead cam 4 cylinder with headers. Try to find another non-rusty Scorpion, much less one with 53k miles that is mechanically excellent. This litle car drives perfectly. Recently SMOGed, passed perfectly.
By the way, new brake calipers, rotors, pads, master cylinder, soft brake lines, new tires, new clutch master cylinder, new throttle cable, rebuilt front struts, new shift bushings, new hoses radiator, heater et all, re-core radiator, new fan sender switch, new shift bushings, new belts, re-built air pump, new Cat, new battery, new plugs, points, oil changed with filter.
Everything works except the old AC. Top, top straps, top hinged panel, latches all work smoothly, interior all superb, no cracks or tears in dash or door panels, carpet in car the trunk mat superb and original, no stains tears wear spots. Seats recovered.
Engine bay and engine are tidy and very correct: no leaks. It runs beautifully, idles nicely, pulls strong to 6500RPM, no smoke on acceleration or deceleration and 55 LBS of oil pressure. Trans and linkage shifts smoothly. So. Cal and AZ car.
