Maserati Indy
The 'Indy' name is in celebration of Maserati victories at the Indianapolis 500 in 1939 and 1940. This US market version was called the Indy America, and has a 4.7l V8 and 5-speed. 0-60 in 7.5 seconds and a top speed over 155mph.
Just over 1100 Indys were produced from 1969 to 1975. Initially it had a 4.2l engine. Later versions had a 4.7l and then 4.9l engine. The 4.9l model can be distinguished by an extra bonnet grille in front of the wipers. Surprisingly, the rear suspension uses a live axle and leaf springs.
The Indy is a proper 4 seater. There looked to be plenty of leg room in the back seat, plus room for luggage.

Actually the 4.9 engine was offered earlier. I have a '71 4.9 "America". The earlier cars do not have the 3rd grille in the hood.
