The owner told me that only 350 Italias were built. And only 17 shipped to the U.S.. And only one like this in the world.
They look like a million-dollar car. They are as fast as most anything of their period. This opportunity won't last long.The hybrid Italia had more displacement than a Cobra and just a little more weight. This car is truly one of a kind.
