1971 Lancia Fulvia

Description for Lancia Fulvia 1971

For your consideration '71 Lancia Fulvia.Lancia dominated the Italian rally circuit in the late 1960s and early 1970s, and a Fulvia won the FIA International Championship for Manufacturers in 1972 (the predecessor series for the World Rally Championship). It's easy to see the racing heritage when driving one - handling and performance are sprightly, similar to a BMW 2002 from the same era.Paint quality is excellent over a straight and rust-free body. Bumpers, trim, lenses, glass, etc. are all in nice original condition. Original 14-inch Cromodora wheels with newer tires. Interior presents beautifully with classic Italian design - seats are both stylish and comfortable, door panels, headliner, carpet and dash are likewise in great condition. All gauges and lights are working properly.
Mechanically, these cars were ahead of their time - featuring a narrow-angle 1.3 liter V4 with a single cylinder head, the engine architecture is similar to the modern-day Volkswagen VR6 engine (Lancia pioneered this design in the 1920s). Power is transmitted to the front wheels via a five-speed manual transmission with a dogleg shift pattern. Runs and drives well and feels very "put together."Over the last year, major service includes a full gearbox overhaul with new clutch, synchros, bearings and bushings, plus a refurbished front subframe and suspension. Front brake calipers have also been rebuilt with new brake hoses.
