2002 Intermeccanica Roadster For Sale

Jimmy, make a deal with Will and drive that IM out to Carlisle 2013!

I've ridden in that car, and it's a very nice one.

Bumping this up the food chain. I'm out of town for about 10 days, but got my phone with me. 561 301 7885

Willy are you in Fl.?

He's normally in San Diego.

The car is in California and I am in Florida or California, depending on the day.  I'll be on the road for the next 10 days.  Call me 561 301 7885

Oh Noooo!

Willy - I'll give you buzz tomorrow.  I'd love to see a shifter and engine shot.

Hey Will, I just saw this post today, don't tell me that you are selling your IM. I hope you are not getting away from us. 

Gotta clean out the garage! Someone needs real windows and heat! I've got this thing priced about where a new Vintage would be with out the 2110 CB motor. $28,000 out the door!

Is it registered in CA?

No, it has been registered in Oregon for the last 5 years.

Just in case there are some newbies out there wondering if this is a good price or not.  A new air-cooled Intermeccanica will set you back 50K with no options.

I agree this is a killer deal.  Great color combo and it's an IM.... Good Luck Will.

HEY THIS CAR IS AWESOME

Here on the West coast, we are fimiliar with Will's tub, it's bitchen, & i'm sure worth the asking price,

but personally I hope he can't sell it, which will mean he continues to cruise with us...

 

Did this car ever sell?

I'm pretty sure he still has the Roadster! Its a beautiful car and well cared for! I'm not sure how often Will checks this SOC site but he's often on FaceBook!

 

Will is located in Oceanside, SoCal.

Thanks, I have decided to go in a different direction.

Is she gone yet??

Well the IM is gone. Russ from Dana Point is the new caretaker, and I hope that he has as much fun with it as I did. I'm going to miss it.

Will, glad to see you sold the IM, but at the same time a little bummed that you no longer have the car.  I gotta be honest and say that I never understood how you fit in the car to begin with.  You're a big dude and getting in an out must have been a biotch with the top up. 

where in oregon?  I am in Bend.

Yup - I bought it. Now it's a wait for legal registration. I must say that it's pretty nice to look at! Here's what I've done so far...

 

1. Took it to Rowland for a full service - Valves, oil, cap & rotor, plugs. It's running pretty good now.

 

2. Fixed the lights and horn - has to pass CA. B.A.R. soon.

 

3. Took off the IM emblems and put on the Porsche badges.

 

4. Detailed it.

 

Been doing a lot of reading on this site and others. If the State allows me to register the car here then my intensions are to go with a five speed conversion on the Rancho Transmission and have the motor refreshed. If all goes well and I have the $$$ I'll also do the wide 5 conversion from the 4 lug that's currently on it. Should be a pretty solid replica after all that.

 

Thank you Max H. for all of the good info on IM and your help on the registration side.

 

Hope to see and meet you all on a run sometime.

Sounds like this car needed some work.... I almost bought it so  based o,n what you are saying, I Am glad I didn't.... I am sure you got it all squared away, but also I am glad I dodged a bullet Here....  Its a great looking ride.... enjoy !!

Was he hunting pigs?

 

FWIW, I don't think changing badges, detailing, and a tune-up means a car "needs work". The car was a screamin' deal as it sat.

ooops...Good catch Bob!

 

Let's go with "BOER WAR" instead.

I believe Stan is correct, based on knowing Will....

Sounds like mostly preventive maintanance, & some cosmetic stuff, except for registration issues..

still a good deal for an IM.....

I guess I was reading into "now it is running pretty good". That's all.

I had removed the Porsche script from the rear of the car and put the Intermeccanica script on because I grew weary of the constant references to Intermeccanica owners being Porsche Posers. I gave Russ 2 Porsche scripts to install on the car if he wanted to. The horns weren't working and he knew this when he bought the car. I offered to fix them. Also the fogs were not hooked up to a switch, also known at sale. The car started running rough the day after Russ bought it and I offered to come to his house and fix it, or that Roland would be a good man to see. I was leaving town the next day, but offered to fix rough running issue. Russ took it to Roland and after some diagnostic work found that the ignition module was malfunctioning. Anyone who knows about electronic ignitions will understand that these things go unexpectedly. That was the case here. I had done an oil change and valve adjustment about 1,500 miles before selling the car. I told Russ that he should get the oil changed and valves checked so that he knew where the engine stood on basic service. These are the issues that I know about with this car.

So what's next Will?  you sold the 911 & now the tub.....

Well now that I have gotten some room in the garage I'm working with GERD on a project called "Dream Cars of the Cheerleaders". He's got a Miata and I'll drive Debbie's 79 VW Convertible.......

The "madness" is  the car will never be perfect or done.  Part of joy is the uniqueness and customization of each car ---- otherwise we'd all be driving 370Zs.  If you aren't welling to fiddle around on a Speedster - don't buy one.  

Especially if your active on this forum, you'll see "must haves" for your car. I remember being into the madness of Marchal fog lamps, then the proper 'period' installation.  It was always seeking the next great addition to a truly fun car.

Will,  sounds like you two are ready for the "gay pride" parade.
