There's always Lisp500:

    http://www.modeemi.fi/~chery/lisp500/

Of course, it's slow, has rather opaque source, and is missing a few bits
[though has quite a lot, for its size!], but it's a single source file
of only ~500 lines [plus a 5.8 K line init file in Lisp, which could
presumably be hacked into the source as a string]. And its GC is at
least stable enough to handle (ACKERMANN 3 9)!  ;-}
