Countach, the ultimate supercar

Just a gorgeous car. Lowbody? Looks like it's sitting nice and low.

I guess I like the 205-50-15's up front better than the 225-50-15's of the later cars. Doesn't look so "jacked up".

 

yes, a lowbody with a DD engine
i know a pair at least ...they must be fun!

 

Is there a big weight difference between a 4 litri and a QV?

 

it's 1121208, the engine was for sale, the gearbox is still

exactly that car
S2 with a DD engine

 

Clutch Release Bearing

On ebay, used. I suggest someone make an offer on this. Just because every once in a while someone winds up asking for one.
If not, make note of the seller for future reference.

Wow I had no idea that even used ones fetched such insane money. Although I am not in the market for one, if I were I would contact F-Chat sponsor Hill Engineering. They make some fantastic replacements for the expensive Ferrari units and I am sure that they could make something for the Countach. Oh and just to put to rest the minds of those who want to stick with Lamborghini 'originality and quality', the stuff that comes out of Hill Engineering is used in everything from Aerospace to F1. Without a doubt it would be the best manufactured part on the whole car.

 

a french fellow of mine replaced his CC 5000 S clutch by a factory one recently, insane price was applied : 6.250 € + Taxes/VAT just for the kit, no labor.

does someone has another cheaper/less expensive source for that replacement part ?
which quotation is it ?
which material use ? carbon or regular friction ?

 

Gt parts rebuilds the throw out bearing, as well as a few others. You can get the pressure plate & clutch disc rebuilt. It can be done for something near or under $500 if you go this route (parts only).

 

Thanks for that clarification Raymond.

I love Blu Tahiti on a Countach.

 

...a bodyshop in Italy
a menacing creature is getting ready to hit italian roads after over 25 years

5000S weber car

Joe, quite interesting this car coming from US has 40 mm weber
first 5000s i see with the smaller carbs, did you saw others?

 

Totally agree. Here's one of my former QV's and an old pic of the green 400s (complete with pin stripes!!!)

Yes, in fact I have driven some small-carb Countach here that can only be described as SLOW.

 

With a white interior at this point (originally it was Testa Di Moro/dark brown).

 

Some pictures of last weekend with the Lamborghini Classic Club Germany.

Boy, that Countach finds its way into a lot of weddings.

 

Here are some more pictures I took Raymond.
It was nice meeting you!

Ciao!
