Countach, the ultimate supercar

I know the owner of 1121030 quite well, that's not about the price, he doesn't need the money, we talked a long time about a possible sale, he had offers before, one from M.B.
But the point is, you have then the money you got for one of the most seldom Countach now what to buy next, there is nothing around he could replace his unique car with a similar Lambo.
Conclusion of our discussion was that we both have unique cars which are very hard to replace, so we keep them.

 

One of the nicest s1s in the country just sold for 185K. It was on sale for a while with no takers at 200K

 

what VIN?

 

Identity of car confidential

 

Anybody know if this was a modded LP400 or one of those rare periscope early S cars I took this at the race track at the 40th party

Why? Did the car say that? It's just a VIN.

 

Many Countach cars were still painted in house, this was the QV production

Thank you for the encouragement Joe. As I have mentionned in the past my not being able to swing the Countach of my dreams is hardly a tradgedy so maybe it will take a little longer thats all. I would prefer to steer clear of the super special Countaches because I drive my cars a lot and I'd prefer to restore and wear out a non original car rather than burn up an original example. I'll leave that luxury to the super wealthy enthusiast. The blue/white S1 at Gary's place looked like a good car for me. A solid driver that can be restored as it is enjoyed. I like cars where you can do projects here and there with minimum time off the road. Extensive tear down restorations are not my bag at this stage of my life.

 

That price seems more realistic in todays market and sounds like a recent "comp". Any chance you have pictures ? For $200K-$300K I don't think so.

 

A couple more .... It was great, in those years if you drove up un a Lamborghini, they would open the gates ....

Is that Blue/wht/wht, that Gary worked on in the video, for sale? Someone had just bought it and brought to him.

 

Black/Black and White/White

I am referring to the sale of the car before Gary got started with it. I'm not sure what the current status of the car is.

On the other hand here is one right in my price range:

Then again it may be a bit too much of a fixer upper even for me

 

Yes, it was extremely nice..I as you was kind of suprised we could not get $200K plus for the seller...

 

this is 1121030 LP400S with periscopa roof and yes... i still want it...

 

That's battles me. Was it ordered with the roof? Because I have the earliest Series One (on the road) and I WISH I had that roof.

 

40th anniversary? It's early but is there any plans/gathering/reunion? US or Italy? based on 1971 or 1973?

 

Evans said something to me about a Countach reunion at his car show
later this year. I guess I missed the stereo talk a few days ago but I have the
same question. What original radio for a 1988? I don't think it matters as far as the
radio but it is a Euro car. (A picture would be great)

 

what year?

are you sure it was an S1? this looks like a low price for a perfect S1 car to me...more likely S2 price range

 

yes, we all want it!

 

you have 2 awesome machines!!!

 

+1 they look fantastic!

 

After thinking about it and being a Series One owner, that price is not believable unless there was something wrong with it. There is no proof that it sold for that amount. Or, it was a desperation sale. Joe and others have verified sales numbers and IF this is the NICEST, it wasn't advertised properly. ALOT of people want Series Ones. I was offered double that (as is condition) in 2009, so it doesn't make sense. And if it doesn't make sense, pretty much bet it's not true. Sounds like it's being talked down for someone looking to buy?
I do remember the red ebay car but there was something not right about it.
Who's saying it's a secret? The owner, yes, that's ok but the car??? Why even come on here, amongst Countach owners who, are graciously very open, and say the car is a secret. I call bullsh**.
