    Unfortunately they have managed to trash, quite a few nice L cars.


    Some of the customization, is a little over the top.


    That car is a museum piece. A modified early (clean) LP 400.

    Me too. this is the real deal.
    A shame really. I have a pic somewhere of a Japanese Diablo with 8 exhaust pipes...

    Japan is the country for this kind of crap.

    I would guess it sounded pretty wild. In all fairness, I have seen some butchered up Corvettes, from 1963 to 67, that are now worth a pretty penny.

    The pipes look pretty dorky (there are only 4 pipes before the muffler).


    Look carefully at the trunk lid. Are those "hardware store" latches holding it closed?

    why would anyone photoshop the door ?

    besides havent you read the thread, Joe has confirmed it isnt a photoshop - and he is the person most likely to know.

    The highlighted area shows discrepancies in the colours, also near the door sill that gray spot. I would like to see more images of this car, if this really is true. In that case I will withdraw my statement, also I respect joe's opinion, but untill he backs his up, mine is as valuable as his
