Intermeccanica dealership

Fellas, a dealership just opened 3 miles from my home. The guy is bringing fully restored IMs and offering them for sell at $40,000 - $50,000 depending on options. The one I saw had electric windows, air-conditioning, cd player, and keyless entry. It was incredible, but pricey. Apparently, it was sold to someone in Chicago. They paid a lot, but someone has a nice car coming to them. He has some other ones for sale, and used ones, but wants an arm and a leg.

They are expensive, but if you've driven an IM, I am sure you would agree that the extra cost of the beatifully finished, and engineered examples are worth it.

David; if you're saying restored IM's, that means they're not new?...

I wonder if Henry is aware of this or does this dealer have any affilation with IM?

Dan, those are mighty nice white walls you have there.....

Closer dealership makes sense along with purchasing.

Where is it? "Three miles" from David's house is not helpful -- because most of us probably don't know where David lives.

I wonder if it is near Hickory, NC.

Look at the IM site linked from this page. As you will see, this is very much an IM dealership, taking custom orders. They can cut shipping and titling, plus the travel distance for potential customers on the east coast is shorter. I'd like to visit it sometime just to check things out and meet the owners. I am sure Henry has 110% confidence in this operation.

JStefano in Hickory, NC, which is about 1.5 hours from Charlotte, to the northwest of Charlotte. They just had their grand opening the day after Carlisle was done. They were displaying a car or two for Henry at Carlisle.

I don't know, I kind of think Dan's car would look better without the whitewalls!

David, I absolutely agree....makes the car look like a "roger Rabbit"
cartoon car.....I think he should sell them to someone ( I could take them off his hands for a fee) and be done with it.....

Sorry guys, 3 miles from my home does not help much. I live in Hickory NC which is 45 minutes - 1 hour from Charlotte, NC depending on traffic. I also used the wrong word. Not "restored", just "built". They are new, and when I went, I was told henry was there a few hours earlier. Now, everyone knows where David's house is. Come by for some lunch one day. We'll take a ride. Oh, it is J Stefano's. His name is Jerry Steven McNeely or something like that. I was told they went with the italian version for the dealership name.

Well, it's 6:00 am Saturday morning and I have been up for 4.5 hours sick. Could not sleep, could not breathe, about to puke. Blaaaa! Sorry about that. So I have been reading the forum for hours. What else can we talk about? Anybody up???

How's the weather in Hickory?

Maybe we do need a live chat room. At least we could keep tabs on Dave's condition. Hope you feel better soon buddy. I know that feeling and it ain't fun.

I'm hobbling around my house after spraining my ankle while playing soccer with my grade six class (tried to 'deek out' a future David Beckam, and down I went).....hobble to my reading chair....hobble to the computer chair....and later, hobble to the TV couch. 25 years of playing soccer with my students and this is my first sprain....must be old age! Thankfully my darling wife got me a pair of crutches...now I can take the dog for a hobble.

Still feel like crap. By the way, the weather in Hickory is descent. Overcast, but nice. Alright, I am out of ocnversation. Going to get some rest.
Good night fellas.
Take care of that ankle. (gas pedal ankle or clutch ankle? Makes a difference on this site for some reason.)

RonO, perhaps now is the time to write an addendum to the "how to exit your Speedster" post. You have added a further degree of difficulty to the process. Heal quickly, my friend.
