Equipment
302ci Ford V8 linked with a four-speed manual transmission, and equipment includes an aluminum radiator, twin electric cooling fans, and power-assisted four-wheel disc brakes with Wilwood rear calipers as well as 15? chrome wire wheels, a tan soft top, power windows, a Custom Autosound stereo, AutoMeter gauges, and a MOMO Indy wood-rimmed steering wheel.
Condition
Reportedly spent 37 years with a previous owner, and it received a restoration in the 2000s before strutting its stuff at the 2010 Meadow Brook Concours d’Elegance. The seller this week purchased it in 2016. Details like the AutoMeter gauges, Borla mufflers, Wilwood rear calipers, and aftermarket radio reveal the car’s mixed heritage, but it looks very clean.
Market commentary
It sold for $181,500 in Amelia Island in 2015 and in Scottsdale the following year for $121,000. That 2015 result was the most anyone had paid for an Intermeccanica Italia at public auction until 2022, when a 1969 convertible sold for $212,000. The condition #1 (concours) value in the Hagerty Price Guide has never been higher than $181,000, but now that this car has broken the record, it may just move the needle. With such a rare automobile, standout results like this can change our price guide values more dramatically than something more mainstream.
