What kind of car is this?

At first, I thought it was a Jensen Interceptor until I looked at this picture:

It's nuts! I know it isn't a Vette but to me the flares look like they came from one. Maybe it is just a custom. I wish the guy had front pics. :(
 
Looks to be an Intermeccanica Indra whatever that is :D



http://www.intermeccanica.org/vehicles/indra/Indra.htm



The Indras were produced from approximately early 1971 to mid-1974 with 127 cars completed. Breakdown was approximately 60 convertibles, 40 coupes and 27 two plus twos.



The engine power on most were either 327, 350 V-8 Chevy engines, or straight 6 Opel engines. There are currently six Indras in the United States, five two plus twos and one convertible. Most of the Indras were sold in Germany through Opel Dealers Network. The car was a partial joint venture between Intermeccanica and Opel.



Indras have DeDion rear suspension and ZF recirculating ball power steering. They all had four wheel vented disc brakes.

What do I win???
 
rjstaaf, how did you find that??? Especially when you don't even know what an Indra is? Great find, I'm just curious as to how you found it...I could only search on cars I knew the name of :think:



PS That must be one of the rarest cars ever in the US, with only 6 here and only 127 made. Maybe another Indra owner will see the pic and say "oh yeah, that's Fred's car..."

I did several searches on google but, it turned up on page 16 of a google image search for "fastback -Mustang". I searched for images of fastbacks that were not mustangs.

Wow. Nice job finding that one. I was convinced it was an Espada prototype.



For whoever rebuilds that one.... good luck finding parts! :eek:
 
This thread was interesting because I just read the name to about 5 cars and makers I have NEVER heard of. Not even remotely. Cool.
