1977 Lancia Scorpion Montecarlo

This 1977 Lancia Scorpion is in the hands of its third enthusiast owner from new, with just under 77,000 documented original miles. The original owner kept it until 1981 when it went to its second caretaker. I purchased it from him in July, 2011. It is completely original- and that is rare for these cars.

I am an automotive historian, appraiser, writer and Lancia enthusiast who looked for the right Scorpion for many years before finding this one.

The more desirable ‘flying buttress roof’ model, it has never been neglected or left parked in a barn. The original paint shows a few signs of aging but is very presentable. It features the original vinyl interior, which shows minor signs of wear and aging, as does some rubber trim. It has its working original cassette radio and speakers, the power windows operate perfectly as do the seat backrest wand adjusters.

The top functions correctly and the 1800cc single carb engine runs beautifully. The factory A/C blows strong and cold and recent work has included shift linkage bushings and an emissions system overhaul.

This Scorpion is a blast to drive, with superb handling balance, excellent visibility and stunning looks. The large front trunk holds sufficient luggage for a weekend or week on the road, which this car encourages you to take. This is a rare opportunity to find an unmolested, always cared for and driven Lancia Scorpion.

This car is in amazing, original condition - however this is a 39 year old automobile. I have done my best to represent it accurately.
