PROJECT LANCIA



1976 Lancia Scorpion Race Car



This pretty well sums it up: Upon receiving his 'new' car on a transport, Jerry sent out an email with photos to friends and club members stating 'Lancia race car is HERE!'. Our friend Bob Dezzany's response was 'Jerry, yes, the race car is HERE, but are you all THERE??'

This site will document the 'resurrection' of a 1976 Lancia Scorpion recently purchased by Jerry. It was purchased on eBay in September 2006. The car was located in South Carolina and Jerry had it shipped from there to Texas. Some of the parts for the car were located in Arkansas where they had been stored by the previous owner - more on that later.

An old photo of the car when it raced (photo was sourced here):




If anyone has history, photos or info on this car, please email Jerry or Garrick.





Latest Updates or Photos


The car is ready to leave Doug's Auto Craft (via trailer) after media blasting and a protective coat to keep it from rusting. On to some body work....
