That is one of our friends'....
...beater Scorpions. That is what he calls it, at least. He just uses it as a beater. He owns a high end restoration/service business in Springfield, Ohio called Sporty's. He also has an E-Type V12 2+2, a few Zagatos, and a couple of other Scorpions, including an 037 re-creation he is currently working on. Great guy!

'Beater' huh? 
What's in a name anyway...
I have ALWAYS wanted a Scorpion. I had a chance to get one about 16 years ago but a friend talked me out of it. He claimed that particular car had made its way into the SF bay. I don't recall the story exactly but at the time it was enough to scare me away from it.
They are such good looking cars.

The only car with a smaller interior than a X (that I have seen first hand) is the 1956 Bandini Barchetta on the poster I gave you.
You would have to be the size of a large house cat to fit inside.

Both the 128 2 door and the wagon...
...belong to the same customer of ours. The wagon was a total restoration, all of the way down to the metal. The sedan has the original patina and twin DCNFs. Very cool! Both are currently living at Midwest-Bayless. We also have a 2 door sitting in waiting to become a rally car platform. (same owner)

Small world Ron...
I grew up in Yonkers and went to the Catholic grammer school Assumption in Tuckahoe which I believe is now the police station or town offices (big brick bldg), graduated 8th grade there in 71 and yes the sisters kicked my butt!
It's funny, just joined xweb last week and have been going through pages and pages. Saw the post of u picking up the X in the Bronx back in March and said to myself that I was a few months too late with this bug that I now have. Anyway came accross the pics of your X in this thread and said wow, really nice X and from NY. I never put the two threads together as they look like two totally different cars.
The wheels have made all the difference in the world and it looks like you had the pinstriping removed or did you have it painted? Nice work on the engine as well.
My father used to take his Alfa's and Fiats to Tavolilla Bros in Tuckahoe (no longer there) I dont think.
Anyway, I'm maybe 20 miles north of you and we can definitely hook up one evening at Marcus etc. My Biturbo has an 8am appt tomorrow for an inspection (only 2 yrs left) so I'll be getting up at 7 to get her ready...she'll need some redline blasts to ensure her passing.
Here's a couple of pics of my current Alfa and Maser, hope this is allowed

Should have mentioned, name is Matt, and if u ever get tired of her give me a shout. Not that I'm in any position to do anything with college coming up in 3yrs and the job scene with IBM very interesting lately (seems like they want all the new MBA's and none of the over 50 crowd), BUT I'm always interested .

Rosehill shopping center I know well. Have taken my Vette there numerous times. Silvio's has some of the best pizza around as well.
Mostly Muscle Cars but sometimes you do see a few foreign. I'll make a point of going July 10 if we dont have anything else going on. Usually we just get a slice and a beer and walk around. Actually was thinking of going tonight but looks like rain is in the forecast.
