GTP Cool Wall: 1975-1978 & 1980-1981 Lancia Montecarlo

I voted seriously uncool.

Much like other Italian brands, I just do not see nor comprehend the fuss.

It's a Lancia. It's a mid-engined sports car. And unlike many mid-engined sports cars of the time, it's actually pretty.

Super-cool. Not quite as sub-zero as the Integrale, but still deserving of much more than a simple cool.

Not minding the rust, the stupid brakes (honestly... brake proportioning, Lancia?) or the rust... they make very pretty rusting shells.

Nobody has ever said, "you know what's cool about my car? It hardly ever works".

I'll have you know I say exactly that.

Sub zero. Probably the second cheapest Italian mid-engined classic you can buy, the cheapest being the Fiat 1/9X.

Lancia. Real Lancia. Come on, it cannot be anything but Sub-Zero.

Lancia. Real Lancia. Come on, it cannot be anything but Sub-Zero.

Please don't antagonize people in a thread that doesn't involve that kind of car, I've removed the offending part of your post and I'd like for you to do the same.

Lovely little cars.

Unfortunately ruined by 70's talian build quality - electrics are garbage and then there's the obvious rust, rust and more rust.

Still very cool.

It'll probably kill you, and most of them will probably have rusted away to nothing by now, but none of that affects its coolness.

SUB zero.

I was blessed to see one in a golden-ish colour in my own street right outside my house.

Was going to go with Uncool. But seeing as though it spawned the Group 5 and the 037.

Meh.

 

[synchromesh]

Sub zero, it's amazing.

Although Lancia now makes this:

Granted, it tarnishes memories of the brand, but they don't 'make' it. They scrape off the Chrysler stickers and slap on a Lancia badge for the European market.

As far as I was aware, Chrysler were withdrawing Lancia anyway.
