Not often seen, and even more rarely offered for sale, this 1974 Intermeccanica Indra 2+2 is one of those Italian–German–American hybrids that never quite became mainstream, but today stands out precisely for its rarity, style, and curious engineering history. Presented here in a striking blue exterior with a tan interior, this example appears to be in overall solid condition, though it clearly invites a degree of cosmetic and mechanical attention to return it to its best.
Designed by Franco Scaglione—the same mind behind the Alfa Romeo BAT and 33 Stradale cars—the Indra was built by Carrozzeria Intermeccanica in Turin. It blended Italian styling with German and American engineering: a Chevrolet V8 engine, Opel-derived suspension and running gear, and General Motors components throughout. The result was a sleek grand tourer with dramatic proportions and surprising drivability. This particular car is equipped with an automatic transmission, a feature that reflects the Indra’s appeal to the U.S. market at the time but which, in retrospect, does little to enhance the driving experience. While it suits the car’s touring character, purists may miss the engagement of a manual gearbox, especially given the V8 under the hood. The 2+2 body style offered additional practicality compared to the convertible and coupe versions, and remains the rarest of the three. With just over a hundred Indras built in total between 1971 and 1975, all versions are collectible, but the 2+2 models add exclusivity to their already exotic mix.
Though no detailed description accompanies this listing, the photos suggest a largely complete and honest example. The blue paint retains much of its charm, while the tan interior, featuring period instrumentation and trim, seems mostly intact but would benefit from restoration. The exterior chrome and glass appear well-preserved and correctly fitted—an encouraging sign given the bespoke nature of the car’s construction and the scarcity of replacement parts. One feature worth mentioning is the set of five-spoke alloy wheels fitted to this car. We must admit our ignorance regarding their originality—they may or may not be factory-correct—but they certainly suit the Indra’s aggressive stance and overall design. Whether period accessories or later additions, they contribute to the car’s visual appeal. Find it for sale at €89.950 (today $104,600) here in Aalter, Belgium.
