Converse Engineering conversion - the same guy who did the Newman/Letterman builds.
The current $4k bid wouldn't buy the motor.

Serious kit under there. Too bad two extra doors. That's a complete sleeper.
Way back in Seattle, my old mechanic Oddvar built himself a used-parts-on-the-shelf 242 with a 302 manual. Put 240 front diesel springs in to hold it up. Went like stink.
Maybe I shoulda bought that 122 wagon for 13k...? I don't see rebuilding this local one with rust and no interior for that.

Mine was grey, with the same interior.

The Lancia radio delete plate alone must be worth a few € I normally ignore dealer listings, but this is a right tasty example.
Tanta bellezza !
