Bill>>> just found out that my Italia and all others  are listed in a new book on Intermeccanica Italia's etc, that released,  engine information, colors, production dates, build changes, Holman & Moody's parts with pictures etc.
I did give you one showing 65 fastbacks, fairlaines, ? 67 TA, 427 boats, hipo engines sitting in shops of H/M.
Even though not proper to some now, never over until the fat lady gets on stage and sings

Let me know when you get it, I'd love to see the tech sheet for your car.

Instead of being part of the problem, be part of a successful solution.

Shelbyman,
You may have known John Cooper from Mi. He owned the largest privatly held conveyor/line assenbly plants in N America. Whe I refer to the 45-50 collection, it is John's.
He was a real focus in the Bird Clubs for many years.
Supercharged F birds and more.
It sounds like you have a difficult to spell last name, so do I, why Big Jim Cowles penned me " John From Utah, which stuck.
As I mentioned, Louis was a fine lady, right place at the right time too.

Bill, I have not ordered the book. A historian from Italy, of which assisted in the books writing, contacted me after a post I did on a Intermeccanica that was being publicly sold. Bid to about 125K. as I recall, no sale, but next day was announced it roughly sold at 185K. Which sellers thought was still to cheap, but finished deal anyway. Seller wanted over 200K . Its color highly resembles the Calypso red used by ford, drop dead stunning color.

Reisner family, which built the cars in Italy back in the 60's-70's,  restored the Italia for him. My opinion is it had many faults as far as being a Concour example for points showing.
Show the pic if you want of the H/M facility.
Respectfully,
John



Is this the first futuristic exotic in the world?
Size of an ac cobra, but built in 1935 !

I did not know John Cooper. Could have crossed paths many years ago at a Mi car show? possibly but my focus has always been on 69-70 Mustangs and not other Fords. Gary

Ford Customer Service offers 999 reports for free. I got mine for my 68 KR in 2001 and it appears to be easier on-line now. It is basically a standard Marti report with the information based on the buck tag from what I can tell. Nice because it is on Ford letterhead.

Ford reports are notoriously inaccurate because they have junior employees looking up 60 year old codes. You get what you pay for in this case.
