Intermeccanica Italia Spyder
The late ’60s were interesting times for the car industry. This was especially small companies in northern Italy like Intermeccanica. After years of being involved with restoring and manufacturing cars for other brands, in 1969, the company introduced the Italia, an elegant sports car with Ford or Chevrolet power plants (via Supercars).
Intermeccanica made around 500 Italias, both in convertible and coupe form, and the model lasted until 1975. At that time, the company moved to the USA and entered the replica car business. However, the Italia Spider remains one of the rarest and most elegant Italian cars with American engines.
