I don't think it's a kit... look at the dash! I've never seen a Lambo kit car with a real Lambo dash.

OK...I know the car is an 80s icon and all. But honestly....some of the most dated looks in a car I've ever seen. I hate those cars....fugly fugly fugly IMO
Sad....but I wouldn't even let it sit next to my barn....

the only timeless thing i knew about my 911 was the timeless amounts of repairs it needed(it was a 2.7) but that is a real lambo...a us model too as evidenced by the bumper mounts still on the front. I know of one by me like this in sparta nj(it's a jalpa though)

if it was the fr spoiler, it would make it a really late model one...it could be as new as an 86. it is definetly a real one though, get the vin i can tell you by the first 10 numbers what year, where it was made and what market intended

That car makes me sick to see and also makes me want to runaway from it as fast as I can go.
There is a resident of Pelican Bay that once owned a Ford dealership and a Lambo Countach...he got so tired of repairing it that he stuck a Ford 427 Sideoiler in it...I think it was the third time he blew the clutch that did it for him.

Cars are nice but my ideas about them have changed over the years...I have had my share of interesting cars and have truly gotten tired of restoring and repairing them. Thus my little 911S sits in the garage awaiting the day that I will restore it.
If I had unlimited money I would probably have an old front engined V-12 Ferrari.... Realistically with the money I have now I am lucky to own a KIA....not really...if I had my wish I would own in addition to my 69S a 72S and or a 356 Speedster or C Cabriolet. Also I would think very hard about owning a late model read that as used 500SL or 600SL MB....that along with a Ford F150. What I LIKE about my F150 is the fact that I don't have to spend any/much money on repairs or maintenece. That leaves more money for my Spoons. NAW...just the thought of owning 5 cars again makes me cringe...this is a case of less is better....how bout my 69S and Ford F150 and be done with everything else....Yeah I like that idea....

The oil pan on a "real" countach engine was $5000 about 15 years ago. No idea what it would cost today.
Sure it's a work of art, and it also acts as a differential housing, but $5000 for a chunk of aluminium that hangs down exposed with no real protection? I'll never be that rich or that dumb. |

If it's the PB I am thinking of? How did that Lambo owner end up there? Given the era of the car, I guess the owner may have had a more creative way of generating income. sniffffff |
