The first of the links I posted still goes to a pictue of a yellow roadster with Cromodora wheels
the second show a red hatch/shooting brake.
 
Since we're on the subject was there any difference between the Italia and the Torino?

You know Andy, even car nuts like me find that question quite esoteric. I dunno, really. We'd have to dig that info out. On a somewhat related subject, I did meet the designer of the Apollo (built by Intermeccanica as you know)---Milt Brown I believe was his name. Really gracious older gentleman, smart as a whip. He lives in the Bay Area. I think the Apollo is one of the nicest looking cars of all times.

I share your appreciation for the Apollo, a great-looking car whose appeal stands the test of time IMO. Apparently the Torino and the Italia were the same car and are sometimes referred to as Torino/Italias...

The Intermeccanica bodied Griffith was no doubt related but was Plymouth-powered (not to be confused with the TVR-based Griffith w Ford power).
 
Now if you want to get really esoteric we can talk about the Indra....:^P

but edmunds doesn't know what to do with those Ebay links. Try copying and pasting the whole thing into the address bar.

you just have to paste in the whole link. For some reason, Edmunds chops ebay links when you paste them into a message. Anyway, starting price is $35,000.
 
If you still have problems viewing it, just go to www.ebaymotors.com and then paste 4531743378 into the search box.

a 68 or 69 Corvair coupe on the side of the road. Sidemarker lights were amber--can't remember which year had them, but those 68-69 fenders and quarters must be $$$ to replace.

Side marker lights... by andre1969

were first required in 1968, although I think the rules may have been laxed a bit for 1969 to allow for lights or reflectors. At least, my '68 Dart had round marker lights on the sides (amber up front, red in back) while my '69 just had rectangular reflectors (again, amber up front, red in back)
 
I just looked at a few Corvair pics on the web, and it looks like the front side marker might've been amber on the '69 and more clear on the '68. It's hard to tell in pictures sometimes, as lighting can make colors look different.
 
Oh yeah, I found this...twisted, but interesting!
