1981 Lancia Beta Zagato project car, 2.0L M/T. I bought it as a project and have run out of time, I will try to give full disclosure to what I know. It is currently not running, no ground pulse from the ECU to the fuel injectors, the engine will run for a couple seconds off the cold start injector or with starting fluid. The engine sounds healthy during its brief periods of life, however I am fairly confident that it will need the head gasket replaced. It is a non-original paint color, in OK condition, some cracking and chipping in places but driver level. These cars were known to rapidly corrode, overall this is a very solid car, there are two 2" diameter holes in the rear floor pan and some in the corners of the rocker panels (will not see it at eye level). Interior is in very good shape with a couple of the stitches tearing at the seams. All the lights work, even the power windows work. Rear convertible top will need replacement.
Other known issues:
Starter Motor is tired
Licence plate lights both broken
A/C system removed -- all parts appear to be included
Power steering system removed
Oil leak at the oil pan gasket
Slight amount of play in the front left wheel bearing
Exhaust is complete but catalytic converter needs to be bolted up
Comes with a box of parts and service manual
Could be a very cool car for not much money if you have time on your hands.
