But still no test drive or even a ride cause I am a BAD driver.

In mixed city stop & go and freeway speeds with a little bit of hooligan driving (it's hard not to in this car) I get 14 ~ 15 MPG .

You'll prolly get a buncha tickets in it .

There's lots of Euro Spec. cars in Fla , most are either super $pendy or rusted beyond repair .

Here , I am offering a nice daily driver for the price of a parts car....

Heater works great , I like to drive with windows down and that baby cranked all the way up...

Man, I want it, but can't swing it. Thats real cool. Want a non-running Lancia scorpion, with most of the parts to convert to EFI for it? A recent one just sold for 7600 on ebay..

The first MB I wanted was an SLC. & Your offer is attractive
I am working on some new business in bay area & possibly so California & may be back there in a week or 2. The good heater does me like no good, since we have it here 360 days / year
The better q is how is the A/C ? I know its gotta be strong , but is it cold and in good condition?

Do you have any more pic's ? interior - seats - dash....?


Thanks,
AA

Austin, did you get those Lancia parts from the people who were retaining them out here?

The AC was O.K. (passable in the Mojave Desert) but not really -cold- per se
It has an upgraded compressor , it's aluminum so maybe a Sankyo or Nissin , I dunno . the last boob who got into the car twisted the cold control too far so now it's not always engaugung the compressor , a common failure of the pre-'77 AC controls.it's the same control switch as W-115's so I'll find a good used one soon I expect .

I'll try to post up some interior pix next week as I'm leaving town to-day .

Don't forget to remind me ! .

For the price it's hard to beat as I keep right on top of the oil changes and other stuff , valve adjust recently , fixed the seat belt retractors and washed the webbing so they're clean and roll up right now , nt laying on the floor like most cars .

Dash has the usual cracks and the PO installed a fabric dashmat to cover them , looks O.K. to me .

I have no idea why some of these pix only come up as thumbnails , I know you guys can expand them.
