A 1972 Intermeccanica Italia Spyder, one of roughly 500 produced between 1967 and 1972, this U.S.-specification example left the Intermeccanica factory on 5 August 1970. Built to the Italian-American hybrid formula pioneered by founder Frank Reisner, it combines coachbuilt Italian bodywork with a Ford 351 Windsor V-8 and four-speed manual gearbox. Finished in red over black with period Cromadora alloy wheels and Jaeger instrumentation, the car retains its original cockpit specification with some minor cosmetic modifications.

This car's public record is built from its auction and competition history. Register your ownership and privately add your own records to make it a verified Legacy Metrics passport — provenance that backs your car's value at sale and gives your insurer evidence to price against. Roy reviews and verifies every registration personally.

Each chassis record is compiled from public auction archives and links to its source material. Ownership, competition and maintenance entries are extracted from those catalogue listings by an LLM, which can make mistakes — please contact us with any corrections. The summary is Legacy Metrics’ own writing; we do not reproduce catalogue text.

“Full” and “partial” documentation labels indicate how well each entry is corroborated in the underlying sources, not an audit of the car’s physical paperwork. Names of recent or living owners are withheld for privacy.
