The Detomaso Scorpion is not actually a real thing. But the seller of this car calls it "European" style and the crude letters on the back call it a Detomaso Scorpion Jasper 424 V8...but I'm not sure if ANY of those words are even remotely accurate....because as best as I can tell, this is a Pontiac Fiero.

Mitsubishi is the automotive equivalent of colonialism. Chrysler took their often somewhat strange local models and Americanised (or Australianised) them, put their own brands' badges on them, and dragged themselves to revival, just in time to release the Neon. Badge engineering might've saved Chrysler in the dark days of K-Cars, but it did Mitsubishi no favours - they're at death's door. The best forgotten of the lot was the Plymouth Sapporo/Dodge Challenger twins, sold Down Under as a Mitsubishi from 1980.

This next car has many names. During development, it was called the Fiat X1/8, but when production moved to Pininfarina (who also did the styling) it was called the Beta Montecarlo (later just Montecarlo), but GM used the Montecarlo name (for the A-body coupe that is pretty much the polar opposite of the Lancia), so for the US market it was called the Scorpion...fitting because it packs a little stinger in the back. Find this 1976 Lancia Scorpion offered for $4,000 (with a parts car) located in Moores Hill, IN via craigslist. Tip from FuelTruck.
The Beta Montecarlo was initially conceived as a Pininfarina styled V6 powered sports coupe for Fiat's product lineup, but the Bertone designed X1/9 got the gig instead, and the Montecarlo was handed to Lancia, but with a 4-cylinder engine. In the USA, it was badged as the Scorpion because GM had the rights to use the Monte Carlo name, and today's example has quite a large stinger in its tail.

Time to harness your inner Ricky Bobby (I wanna go fast!) with this street legal version of a trike, because not much short of a $100k sports car is going to keep up with this thing anywhere. The Scorpion P6 looks like a Frankenstein experiment involving an FSAE car and a sport bike built on the wheelbase of a mobility scooter. It will probably do the most fantastic donuts and result in instant death to anyone without F1 level reflexes. Looks like a winner. Find this 2013 Scorpion P6

The Scorpion was a mid-engined sports coupe from Lancia Automobiles S.p.A., and known in Europe as the Montecarlo (type 147). The Scorpion/Montecarlo is best known for its questionable handling, dodgy brakes and rust prone chassis. Not exaclty a glowing recommendation, but hey - this one is cheap...Find this 1976 Lancia Scorpion Sypder for sale in West LA, CA for $2000 via craiglist.
