This 1966 Vetta Ventura Apollo has received what the seller describes as a no expense spared restoration and looks very good in photos. This car is a rare collaboration between several companies including Italian manufacturer Intermeccanica, though the actual design of the car was done in America. As similar offerings from Iso and De Tomaso have proven, American muscle with an Italian body can make for a very appealing package. Find this one here here on Craigslist in San Diego, California for $200k OBO. Special thanks to BaT reader Kyle K. for this submission.

The cars are known more commonly under their original, shortened name of Apollo. Later models such as this one were built in Texas under the Vetta Ventura after the original, Oakland-based firm ran into financial problems in 1964, two years after first rolling onto the scene. The design is somewhat of a cross between a Ferrari up front and an E-type Jag in the rear–unsurprisingly, the result looks great from just about any angle.

Red leather is very bright, but provides a nice contrast to the relatively subdued exterior. The quality of work seems nonetheless top-notch, though we would like to see some more detailed pictures and information.

Nestled beneath the hood is a Buick V8 mated to a 4-speed manual transmission. The listing does not state this engine’s displacement, though it is known that these were offered either with a 215 or 300. The all-aluminum former was no longer being manufactured by 1966, but considering the nature of small, coachbuilt cars such as these, we can’t rule it out.

While information in this listing is spotty, this is undoubtedly a rare car (claimed to be one of 11 like it). Moreover, the quality of work looks admirable, so long as you can live with the interior color–we think we’d learn to deal with it pretty quickly.
