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.

Little bit confusing between Catalina and Bonneville, they are is different car but styled was similar overall. Only badges can distinguish, however, if no badges you should come closer inspection to find one of them.

This a late of third generation Catalina, but did not rule it is a fourth generation of the Bonneville. Released in 1969 fairly cool in Convertible style, found this one in Craigslist looking for a new owner, asking $15000 located in Vista, California. Unfortunately the restoration outcome not optimal represented by low light photos but anyway its still show a little how that's look in real.

Like a smooth transition or preparation for jump to next generation the factory give a new face for the 1969 with aligned headlights but still retain its beak and followed by the final model a year later with more widely beak were is more similar with the next generation style.

As shown here all look clean and neat inside and outside, the engine bay fitted by its original content without followed by issue as the owner promising. This could be one nicest example of the classic Pontiac restoration outcome. So this Catalina or Bonneville is doesn't matter.
