Rare RIDES - Lancia has always held a unique place in automotive history, celebrated for its innovation and relentless pursuit of performance. This Italian brand, established over a century ago, has produced numerous remarkable cars that not only thrived on the racetrack but also left a lasting impact on automotive design. Among Lancia's iconic vehicles, the Lancia Stratos HF remains a revered symbol of the brand's golden era in motorsport during the 1970s and 1980s. The Stratos HF’s dominance in rally racing established Lancia as a formidable force, setting a high standard for performance and engineering.

The story of the Lancia Scorpion begins in the early 1970s when it was initially envisioned as a sophisticated version of the Fiat X1/9. Fiat’s ambitious X1/20 project aimed to create a compact, mid-engined sports car that would appeal to drivers seeking performance and style. Under the hood, the car was originally planned to house the powerful 3.2-liter V-6 engine from the Fiat 130, providing a significant boost in performance.

However, the project soon took a different direction, with Abarth, Fiat’s performance division, refining the car for motorsport purposes. This prototype, known as the Abarth SE030, had a promising debut, securing second place in the 1974 Giro d'Italia—a testament to its racing potential. Yet, as the oil crisis loomed and market demand for powerful sports cars waned, Fiat re-evaluated the project, leading to a shift in focus from outright performance to a more balanced, marketable sports car that could thrive in a new era of motoring.

With economic constraints and changing consumer priorities, the Lancia Scorpion emerged as a refined version of the X1/20 project. Pininfarina, the legendary Italian design house, subtly reimagined the car, giving it a unique aesthetic that stood out while aligning it with the Lancia Beta series. The Scorpion incorporated the reliable Fiat Lampredi twin-cam, four-cylinder engine, offering a spirited yet efficient performance that matched the era's needs.

The car's final iteration debuted at the 1975 Geneva Auto Show, showcasing a sleek, mid-engined design that reflected Lancia’s passion for innovation. Named the Montecarlo in European markets in honor of Lancia’s rally success, the car was branded as the Scorpion in the United States to avoid conflict with Chevrolet’s Monte Carlo. This name choice was perhaps a subtle nod to its Abarth heritage, linking it to the fierce scorpion emblem synonymous with Abarth’s performance legacy.

As the Lancia Scorpion made its way to American shores, it encountered the challenges of stringent U.S. regulations, which significantly altered the car’s performance and appearance. Unlike its European counterpart, which boasted a 2.0-liter engine delivering around 120 horsepower, the American-spec Scorpion was fitted with a 1.8-liter variant, choked by emissions controls that reduced its output to a modest 81 horsepower. These changes, coupled with mandatory 5-mph impact bumpers, added extra weight, diminishing the Scorpion’s agility and slightly marring its sleek European design.

Additionally, flip-up headlights were modified to comply with U.S. standards, giving the car a distinctive, albeit slightly awkward, look. Despite these compromises, the Scorpion retained an allure with its open-top Spider configuration, a unique offering that distinguished it from the Montecarlo coupe available in Europe.

Driving the Lancia Scorpion was an experience that blended exhilaration with a sense of delicacy. While not as powerful as some of its contemporaries, the Scorpion's mid-engine layout and rear-wheel-drive configuration offered balanced handling, making it a joy to navigate winding roads. Period journalists often compared the Scorpion’s driving dynamics to the revered Ferrari Dino, highlighting its precise steering and responsiveness.

However, the car’s braking system, which only applied the booster to the front disc brakes, was occasionally problematic, particularly in wet conditions, where front wheels were prone to locking. This quirk added a layer of excitement, requiring drivers to maintain a steady hand and an acute awareness of the car’s behavior under various conditions.

The Lancia Scorpion, despite its limitations, holds a special place in the hearts of automotive enthusiasts and collectors. It represents an era when Lancia, under the Fiat umbrella, was willing to push boundaries and embrace daring designs that challenged conventional norms. Today, the Scorpion remains a symbol of Lancia’s spirit, embodying both the ambition and the creativity that characterized the brand during the 1970s.

⚠️Grandpa Masterpiece💣 - Creativity in the automotive world knows no age limits. Even an elderly grandfather can succeed in making his dream car. Kristi D. Johnson's grandpa, Wes, went viral on TikTok with his inspiring journey. He didn't attend college until his 30s, graduating from medical school at 41. Despite the challenges, in his retirement, he built the Creager Hybrid—a crowning achievement of ingenuity, passion, and determination.

Wes proudly introduced the Creager Hybrid, a custom-built red Cadillac Eldorado made from at least ten different cars, all sourced from junkyards. The idea for this unique creation began 30 years ago when a race car driver friend offered him a Cadillac Eldorado with the biggest engine Cadillac made. Although it was front-wheel drive, Wes envisioned a rear-driven sports car, so he started planning his build, storing the car at an airport. Starting the build in 1996 and finishing around 2000, the Creager Hybrid highlights Wes Johnson's dedication and skill.
He found a frame in a junkyard that matched the Cadillac's width, welded it together, and slowly pieced together his masterpiece. The Creager Hybrid truly lives up to its name. The grill is from a modified GMC pickup, the front suspension from a Mustang, and the headlights from a Mazda. The front features an old Cadillac hood with custom-shaped fenders. The windshield is from a Ford pickup, and the doors are from a Chevy Camaro. The hubcaps come from a Lincoln Continental, and the rear is a modified Cadillac with shortened fenders and a custom trunk lid.

Inside the Creager Hybrid, Wes’s craftsmanship shines. He meticulously shaped and laminated wood for the interior, covered with vinyl for a polished look. The original Cadillac hood mechanism was preserved for functionality, and the metal fenders were skillfully welded to create perfect curves.
The front end of the Creager Hybrid, the only part not made of metal, is entirely fiberglass. Wes constructed forms from wood, covered them with styrofoam, and shaped them to fit, adding a heavy rope for extra strength. The headlights, which lift with a spring-loaded window raiser from a Ford, automatically turn on when raised.
Wes designed the gas tank to serve a dual purpose:holding gas and channeling air to the rear engine for cooling. Furthermore, he customized each part of the Creager Hybrid, meticulously cutting, bending, and welding the fenders to achieve the perfect shape. He then encountered another challenge when the carburetor protruded through the trunk lid. To address this, he created a wooden mold, covered it with fiberglass, and fashioned a Continental kit to conceal it.
To address engine cooling challenges, Wes installed three radiators—one in the front, one for the hydraulic fluid, and the original radiator near the engine. With its 8.2-liter engine, racing cam, high-performance carburetor, and competition torque converter, the Creager Hybrid is a powerful machine. Despite its impressive capabilities, Wes drives it with great care.
Uniquely, the car is insured and registered as a 1970 Cadillac Eldorado, ensuring it’s road-legal. The Creager Hybrid is more than just a custom car—it’s a story of resilience, creativity, and passion. Wes Johnson’s meticulous craftsmanship and innovative problem-solving have resulted in a unique masterpiece. |

Despite the projected price tag of over $2 million, the F250 has already attracted significant interest from potential buyers. Ferrari has invited select clients to private previews of the car, and it is widely believed that all available units already have buyers lined up, with several alternates waiting in the wings. This demand reflects the high esteem in which Ferrari is held by its loyal customer base. Owning a Ferrari hypercar is more than just owning a vehicle—it is about becoming part of an elite community that values performance, innovation, and exclusivity.
