SoCal Skorpion For Sale!

 

Well, this doesn't happy every day: Got a call this morning from a guy looking to sell a Skorpion.

Skorpions are real rarities, with legit 'star' status - the only Crosley-powered car ever to land on the cover of Motor Trend! 

Since almost all of them were homebuilts they vary widely, from boulevard cruisers to outright race cars.

The owner wasn't sure what the story is with this one: at some point it acquired Ford running gear, and comes with a V860 topped with dual carbs. He believes that the car is all there, but it's been sitting for quite a while.

The car is located in Joshua Tree, California, and the owner, Rick Brain, would like to get $800 for it. Give him a call at 928 699 3395 if interested.
