This '76 Scorpion was purchased out of Arizona as an in-house restoration project. It currently runs and yard drives, but water pump required replacement and the brake hydraulics require repair. The body is straight and rust-free, but it certainly requires a strip and paint. The interior is in very nice shape with freshly reupholstered seats.
Our intent is to upgrade/modify it to the European specifications of the Lancia Montecarlo. Since we have a third Scorpion that we bought as a parts car - specifically so that we could transplant its 2-liter HPE engine into this car. We also bought a 1985 Fiat 2000 Spider (with a blown rod) so that we could cannibalize it for its EFI. According to the Scorpion forums, a 2-liter engine with EFI will crank out about 135 HP and get about 35 mpg. With the rally cams that we're told are in the donor Scorpion's engine, we should see somewhere in the 250 HP range with this car when it's finished.
