The Italia is one of life's great mysteries; it is an especially beautiful car. It is an Italian chassis with some modified Ford bits and a steel body hand-formed in Turin. The Italia is a descendant of the Griffith GT, and the chief engineer was a young engineering graduate name Mark Donohue. When Donohue and Jack Grifith couldn't make a success of the Griffith, Steve Wilder, Sports Car Illustrated write and an MIT engineering graduate, teamed with Lee Holman, of Holman & Moody fame, to further develop a high performance Italian-American car. The final models were built when Frank Reisner's Carrozzeria IM completely assembled 411 Italias in Turin, with excellent quality control and the benefit of the previous four years' engineering development.Also photographed at :     | Site Map | Contact | About Us | Terms Of Use / Privacy Policy | Links | carAuctionValues |
