    Yep, you're quite the Herbie buff. I had to google it, but it was a Scorpion.

    Oh, man. I have a friend who keeps trying to convince me to come look at one that he wants to sell cheap. It has been sitting in a barn for a few years.

    So sexy, but I'm scared.

    Aren't these the FWD model? Or is that the same chassis as the Beta coupe

    Wiki says the Scorpion/MonteCarlo are rear wheel mid-engine layout. The Beta is fwd. All per Wiki.

    Delusions of grandeur in an Ebay car listing. Odd.

    Odd, I remember the Beta downunder as RWD, maybe they used different names in different countries.

    A bit of research reveals they were all Betas downunder with subcategories for the Coupe, HPE, Scorpion etc

    The Beta was the name of the platform. All Beta cars except the Scorpion/Montecarlo were FWD.

    In reference to aussie's post, I though he was asking if the Zagato Spyder was FWD or the same chassis as the Beta, which is it both.

    Wasn't this the Jeremy Clarkson Africa car as well as the Chevy Chase Modern Problems car?

    Not sure about the Chevy Chase one, Clarkson's car was the same platform (Beta) but his was a Beta coupe not a Zagato.
