P.S. somebody please post a reply
thus my thread will be seen

 

Sgarzi looks very young in that pic.

 

Yes thats before he tried selling Couintachs for 16 years.

Joe

 

yes,
they are silhouette mirrors,
vitaloni california if i remember well

i bet David still has the sebring stored and changed them tryng to see something LOL

 

Oh for the love of leaving these cars alone!.....this was a very cool single-mirror car, and I drove it very comfortably with just just the occasional glance in the mirror. Also the original Sebrings have about the same mirror surface size as the wrong Californias....anyway, its not my car anymore.
But, she still looks great and David's clearly a good home.

A long time ago from the man who "Married the Automobile".

 

I replied in that thread so you better reply back!

 

LOL. Well...his memory...and some of his stories.... ;-)

Joe

 

Cool models!!

Joe

 

I agree 100%

See Joe, your should have sold that car to me

Well if that special car we were talking about ever comes about you know how I'll treat it.

 

Am definately cooking up something for you.....takes a little time.

Joe

 

The best things do....and are worth the wait

 

Better than this???

Ciao!
Walter

 

No, from Tony to Ralph.

Joe

 

...so no Santa?? Ouch....!I thought at first that Roy -of course!- sold the deers for a worldrecord price!!!

Ciao!
Walter

 

A repost, but one that makes me smile.

2 guesses as to what Im going to say??

Get it and bring it to Concorso!

Joe

 

Can't... the owner wont return e-mail at this time.

I'll bring one for sure, I just have to find "THE ONE" before the Concorso.

After the 4 Countachs that I have owned, I know the 3 or 4 that fit the bill, now comes the hard part.

OK: I know the owner of the white one. PM me if you wish to pursue but lets just say its not time well spent...
The Motor Trend car has the 475hp motor (NUTS), but nary a clue as to where it is.
The Cannonball car is the Holy Grail but will need to be restored... but it now seems that the chances of Mr Rice parting with it are about as likely as a Hawaiian Tropic Girl without a tan!
But there are others being sought too, even as we speak, fiendish and cunning plots are being hatched to unearth hidden gems of Bravo-shod Countachs that lie stashed away, far, far away from prying eyes.... ;-)

Joe

 

Didn't you steal Roy's Murcie?

 

I'm trying to convince my wife that we should come to Monterey this summer. It's a long drive though (2-1/2 days) and I'd probably trailer this one down. When I met with Balboni 2 years ago, he remembers my car as, according to the records (suspicious at best), there are only 5 cars like this one ever built and this was the first as it was a custom order from the first owner. It has downdraught carbs and the paint is called Rossa Speciale (Italian for deep burgundy) I am the second owner and the car has 16,000 KM total.

That is a beautiful car. Thanks for posting the picture.

 

Steven,
You have a BEAUTIFUL Countach!
Ive got you covered... send me an e-mail, and I will respond, with a note to your wife giving 5 good reasons why you, her & your Countach NEED to be at the Reunion. Take me up on this.
