Selling a 1967 Intermeccanica Italia

 

Frank Reisner had founded Construzione Automobil Intermeccanica eight years earlier when the 1967 Intermeccanica Italia was released. That was the model’s second production year and Reisner had come a good distance from where he began in 1959. What had begun as a simple tuning kit provider (with a few toes dipped in the racing waters), was now making waves in the larger automotive space with a second sports car entry. The 1967 Intermeccanica Italia was the result of industry realities with which Reisner had become acquainted when overseeing production and sales of the Apollo GT between 1961-1965. Reisner having realized that consolidated manufacturing processes were of paramount importance to commercial viability, the 1967 Intermeccanica Italia was produced entirely in Italy. This included the installing of its Ford powertrain, which kept in play the European-American model to which Reisner had committed his operation in 1960.

Always a niche player in relation to the larger European and American automobile manufacturers, Intermeccanica tended to produce and sell in comparatively small numbers, even if the Italia marked a decided increase in volume from where the company had been earlier in the decade. Buyers of the exotic and aesthetically distinctive Italia were attracted to the machine’s sleek elegance and Italian refinement. They were also generally pleased with the engine strength provided by the sports car’s strong, 300 horsepower Ford V-8. In short, the Italia was a combination of sophisticated craftsmanship and tremendous power, all housed within a beautifully designed frame; it was form enriching function. As only around 500 Italias were produced during the model’s run, they remain in demand by collectors and racing enthusiasts the world over. Sellers have that much in their favor when looking for the right buyer, whether a private party or an established dealer.
