| An original, well maintained 1971 Intermeccanica Italia is on eBay with a buy-it-now price of $129,900. The gorgeous two-seater with only 23,300 miles on it is being offered by a private seller in Montana.Intermeccanica was founded in Turin, Italy in 1959 by Canadian Frank Reisner. He hoped to blend reliable American powertrains with Italian coachwork—a formula that worked for , , and other manufacturers of the era. In the Italia's case, a 351-cubic-inch Ford V8 and Hurst 4-speed transmission are integrated seamlessly into a hand-formed steel body. Naught to 60 takes a little over 6 seconds and the car will keep going past 150. Disc brakes at all four corners rein things in. The Italia was designed by , who'd penned earlier Intermeccanicas, as well as the drool-inducing Alfa Romeo 33 Stradale. Fewer than 400 Italias were built from 1967 to 1973 in coupe and convertible form, though Intermeccanica also sold a handful of very similar cars as the Griffith and Omega.Founder Frank Reisner passed away in 2001, but his son Henry still operates from Vancouver, British Columbia. The company stopped producing supercars in the 1970s and now builds modernized replicas of the Porsche 356 Speedster and Volkswagen Kübelwagen. The company is also at work on an electric roadster called the . This car was purchased by a local attorney in 1978 to add to his car collection, which included a Ferrari and a Maserati. Because of his love for the vehicle, it was the only one he kept when he sold off his collection. The vehicle has been kept to stock with the exception of the intake manifold and seat padding. The manifold increased the air intake from over 650ci to about 900ci. With that, the car has more horsepower than it's stock 310. The seats are the original leather, however, the sawdust filling was removed and replaced with a much more comfortable padding. The car is finished in brilliant red with a black leather interior and cloth top. It is well maintained with a beautifully detailed engine bay. The seller describes the car as one of best examples of elegance and splendor in the world.*There are minor interior flaws due to the fact the vehicle has never been restored*ALL REASONABLE OFFERS WILL BE CONSIDERED! | |
