Good morning all, as my friend Alan Merklin posted this am, I have my pan based 1984 IM speedster up for sale. I was in the process of a complete tear down and restoration on the car and I am about 90% of the way through it but an unfortunate family emergency with my father is forcing the sale of my beloved speedster. I have owned this car now going on six years I will do my very best to give you a list of what has been done and the new parts that come with this car. The car was originally taken apart about a year ago brought to my friends body shop here in key west Florida where it was taken down to just the fiberglass body and pan all bodywork was completely done on the car and the car is color was change from faded red to beautiful black. Three coats of primer three coats of black and three coats of clear later as you can see in my pictures this car is a mirror.

Many people have asked me how I know that it is an original IM car. I spoke at length with Alan about this, apparently the previous owner that I bought the car from in West Virginia also had the car painted and when they did they stripped off every single solitary tag and everything. But I have stamped on the rear deck lid hinges is inter-mechanical and I have all of the old gauges and switches and all of them are engraved with the letters IM and a number on it showing that they were all original intermeccanica.
