1988 Countach LP5000QV For Sale $102,900

pretty much a repost

 

Yep, it's been for sale for months (at least).

 

Any particular reason for that?
Its on eBay as well at the moment.It looks great IMO.

 

Nobody bought it.

 

Those bumpers make Baby Jesus cry.

 

dont see why these are $30k more than a good injected car.

 

Rear suspension arms(radius rods) look bent on the Ebay photos ??? Looks like someone tried to lift it incorrectly

 

I agree... they sure look bent to me.

Not just a little bent either.

Otherwise looks pretty clean under there. I wonder if there's any oil in it.

 

Looks to me like the radius rods bend horizontaly, to go around the bulge in the fuel tank, they don't appear bent vertically as if someone put a jack under them.Maybe this model has larger tanks ??

This is an injected car.

 

duh, oops.

but my question remains. i thought it was a carb QV as those ARE worth more.

 

I think it's an optical illusion. They should be straight. The rear wheels are certainly "toed-in" with those bent like that.

 

They are bent like a dog's hind leg. ( from careless jacking )

 

30k-40k$ is a small thing if you think about, Michael...

is a miura SV worth 400k$ over an S?

best versions command a premium, i believe the premium for weber QV over FI QV is not too big

 

If you blow up the pic you will see that the left arm has a little dent at the bend but the right arm is seriously crushed at the bend. Seems to strongly suggest crappy lifting.

I thought I would post this photo here for the folks that are interested in this car. When it first came up for sale last year, folks were interested in the color of the car. I contacted the salesman (Jon Faust) and asked him about the color. He was nice enough to run out to the car and snap a photo of the PPG sticker. Here it is for any that were interested.

Bent from jacking. I almost did the same thing when I first got my car. From what I remember, I think I bent down and looked and thought they were tubes of the frame. I was very careful when I first got the car and double checked everything before I did anything and quickly realized what they were.
Very easy mistake for someone inexperienced with these cars.

 

They are definiely bent but if they were straight they would surely foul on the tanks and not physically fit! Anyone want to post a pic of the underside of anothe countach?

 

Take my word for it, if the tubes were straight they would fit.

 

Everyone is wrong. This is how Pepboys sets the toe (and lets it go) for the unbelievable price of 29.99.(I have a coupon, it says any car!)

 

Straight and clearing the tank with room to spare.
