Selling a 1973 Intermeccanica Indra

 

Whatever can be rightly said about Frank Reisner’s company, Construzione Automobili Intermeccanica, it should certainly be acknowledged as having been a significant player in the sports car scene from early in its existence. With comparatively modest origins as a tuning kit provider, the company moved quickly into the full-on sports car designing, manufacturing, and selling arenas. The Apollo GT would lead things off, followed by the popular and well-conceptualized Italia. These models, particularly the Italia, had elevated their manufacturer’s profile to respectable heights, and created a favorable climate for a polished follow-up. When the 1973 Intermeccanica Indra, third iteration of its model, was made available to the buying public, its ’71 and ‘72 precursors had already established it as a stylistic step up from the previous decade’s Intermeccanica models. It was the very epitome of a top-notch performance coupled with breathtaking form.

When partnering with American Milt Brown, a California-based engineer, beginning in 1960, Reisner had laid the groundwork for a business model that would largely survive well into the next decade. Their Apollo GT was a blend of Italian design aesthetics and American motor engineering. The format would continue with their Italia and was alive and well in the 1973 Intermeccanica Indra, which had been designed by the great Franco Scaglione but was powered by either a Chevrolet V-8 or an Opel straight-6, the latter of which tied in well with Reisner’s German marketplace ambitions. Available in either a convertible form or as a coupe, the 1973 Intermeccanica Indra was a design marvel which combined class, power, and elegance in ways which were the envy of car manufacturers on both sides of the Atlantic, at least until its discontinuation one year later.
