BaT Auction: 1977 Lancia Scorpion

This 1977 Lancia Scorpion is finished in gold over beige upholstery, and it is powered by a 1.8-liter inline-four paired with a five-speed manual transaxle. Equipment includes a removable roof panel, air conditioning, an analog clock, and a Marantz cassette radio. The car was refurbished during previous ownership, with work including a repaint and reupholstering the cabin. Other changes include yellow headlight lenses, Hella rally lights, 15″ Ronal wheels, Wilwood front brake calipers, and a MOMO steering wheel. The car was featured on BaT in October 2012, and it was purchased by the seller on BaT in August 2019. This Scorpion is now offered with service records and a clean Tennessee title in the seller’s name.

The car was refinished in gold during previous ownership and features black bumpers, side stripes, and trim. Equipment includes a removable double-bubble roof panel, Hella rally lights, yellow headlight lenses, and dual exhaust outlets.

Silver 15″ Ronal wheels show finish imperfections, while 195/50 Federal Super Steel 535 tires are mounted at all four corners. Stopping power is from four-wheel disc brakes, with black-finished Wilwood calipers up front.

The cabin was reupholstered under prior ownership and features seats trimmed in beige with tan piping, matching door panels, and a tan dashboard and carpets. Equipment includes air conditioning, a lockable glovebox, an analog clock, and a Marantz digital AM/FM/cassette radio.

The aftermarket MOMO steering wheel frames Jaeger instrumentation including a 160-mph speedometer, a tachometer, and auxiliary gauges. The five-digit odometer shows 76k miles, approximately 100 of which were added during current ownership.

The mid-mounted 1.8L twin-cam inline-four is housed under a side-hinged and vented rear hood along with the spare wheel and tire. The seller notes a fuel leak when the fuel tank is more than half full.

Power is sent to the rear wheels through a five-speed manual transaxle.
