1996 Ford Indigo
This Ford Indigo is one of three built. It doesn’t come with an engine, but with enough effort, that can be fixed.
The Ford Indigo, introduced in 1996, remains one of the automaker’s most interesting concept cars. It was a two-seat open-wheeler with stunning proportions and a goofy-looking front-mounted wing, packing a 435-horsepower mid-mounted V-12 engine made from two Duratec V-6s.
Obviously, Ford never put the Indigo into production, but three examples were built by Reynard Motorsport: one functional model that could run and drive, and two show cars with no powertrains. The running car is said to be in Jack Roush’s private collection, but the two rollers were sold off to private parties in the early 2000s, a Ford Spokesperson confirmed to Road & Track.
The car you see here is almost certainly one of those rollers. It’s been listed for sale in Detroit, Michigan with an asking price of $195,000. The seller says it’s been used as a display piece since new, and judging by the pictures, the car still looks factory-fresh. The OEM chrome wheels are still in place, as are the original tires and seatbelts. According to the listing, this is the only of the roller cars with functioning doors and a full interior (though we’re not given pictures of either).
