The Interceptor sheet metal was designed and fabricated by Carrozzeria Touring, a famous Italian coach builder known for building beautiful pre-war Alfas and BMWs. The Interceptor doesn't stir the loins like an Alfa Romeo 8C, but it is a handsome alternative to late 1960s American muscle cars.
The Interceptor tends to be categorized as a Grand Tourer, but is more Muscle Car when you pop the forward hinged hood. This one is powered by a 6.3 liter Chrysler B-block that puts out 270 horsepower and gobs of tire roasting torque.
Either the seller is a genius with a camera or this particular car is in very nice condition - the leather, dash and switchgear all look in remarkable shape for a car built in the UK in the early 1970s. This one is equipped with an automatic transmission, which may seem disappointing at first, but the interceptor wasn't a sports car and the auto probably fits its point-and-shoot personality well.
A few more really nice photographs earned this seller DT's coveted Ansel Adams award badge for excellence in photography...which should not be confused with a good car or a good deal. We also want to point out that the under body shots clearly show a recently painted oil pan and transmission pan cover - and we are always suspicious of recently painted parts.

That is a lot of car for the money and I like the idea of a domestic engine in a British wrapper...this is like a hardtop Shelby Cobra!
