1969 Intermeccanica Italia Spyder Has Been Restored

A rare 1969 Intermeccanica Italia Spyder with an American drivetrain is being offered for sale on Craigslist in California for $129999. The Intermeccanica Italia Spyder is a classic Italian sports car that was manufactured by a private automotive industry founded by Frank Reisner in 1959. This particular model is a fully restored version, retaining its original engine, transmission, body, and chassis. It is a perfect example of the Intermeccanica Spyder that still exists today and is looking for a new home.

The Intermeccanica Italia Spyder was a dream come true for Frank Reisner and his wife Paula, who were passionate car enthusiasts. Established in 1959, the Intermeccanica cars combined Italian artistry with an American powertrain. After a series of name, ownership, and engineering changes within the company, they began production of the Italia Spyder in 1967. The first Italians were exported to the United States in 1968. These cars were unlike anything else on the market and quickly gained the attention of discerning American car lovers. However, with limited production and a hefty price tag of $8,500, only the well-off could afford them. To many aficionados, the Intermeccanica Italia Spyder was an automotive masterpiece.

Details by owner
This FACEL-VEGA Facellia is a sports car that combines the elegance of Parisian coachbuilding art and impressive American V8 performance with a high quality, professionally-built Buick all-aluminum 215 V8 and Rover 5-speed overdrive transmission. The engine looks perfectly at home as if factory-installed in Paris and the acceleration is all one could want and more. The strong mechanicals provide a sportier driving feel than an HK500, feels faster than an HK500 below highway speeds while retaining nimble and balanced sports car handling as the aluminum V8 weighs less than the original Pont-a-Mousson 4-cylinder engine. The livery is a charismatic and sporty white with a red stripe over a red interior. This Facellia offers fun, camaraderie, and exclusive classic European sports car ownership. You can expect that when arriving in this Facellia at a car show or cars and coffee you will have one of the rarest and most interesting of vehicles.
