Italian manufacturer Officine Stampaggi Industriali or OSI for short, was a coachbuilding company closely related to Ghia and well known for its custom built cars based on Alfa Romeo, Fiat, and Ford models.
One of its better known models was the OSI-Ford 20M TS. This beautifully designed sports coupe featured a V6 engine, a well appointed interior, and a fairly lightweight construction. Between 1967 and 1968, less than 2,000 examples were made, 409 of which featured the larger 2.3-liter V6 engine. By 1968, OSI was out of the car manufacturing business altogether and remained open as a producer of steel pressings and industrial equipment.
Today, it is believed that less than 200 of these stunning OSI-Ford 20M TS models still exist making them one of the rarest cars to come out of Italy. This 1967 example being offered by Lucky Collector Car Auctions is a highly desirable example. While it does not appear to have been the recipient of a rotisserie restoration, its shiny green finish shows well and the undercarriage is largely free of rust.
Inside is a mostly complete interior finished with a black dash and a tan leather upholstery. The two-tone interior is accented by wood grain and polished trim and a 3-spoke sport steering wheel. Under the hood is a 2.3-liter V6 engine paired with a manual transmission. This car is riding on a set of wire knock-off wheels and comes complete with a spare, an owners manual, and a folder of information. This car is available at Lucky Old Car Auction on June 12-13.
