Countach, the ultimate supercar

for these i lost hope

Pirelli made 205 in PzeroC (corsa) till 4-5 years ago or so
i bought a set for my old LP400S at around 450 euro for 2

then they went out of production to

P7 are around 25 years old...at least!
so they could look good or as new, but they are not safe for anything more than show and display

 

If only they were new........
I also have a set from 1978 (r) & 80 (f)......wrapped in plastic in a dark cool place....as you know, show only.

 

After reading all the tyre discussions above (and also everywhere else on the net), it seems like Pirelli does not have any clue regarding the market.
They could produce the 345 and 205 tyres and sell them like cupcakes, yet they didn't.
Maybe they don't even have any clue about what the internet is

This does not make business sense.

I guess they perfectly know where their break-even is.

[@Joe : nice Wolf placement - was looking for a joke that would echo it, but fell short :-/ ]

 

Thank you, Joe, I remember this item, but unfortunately the only part I am searching is an additional kph speedometer (the item suggested by you has a mph speedo). Anyway it is a very nice item. I have all other instruments, even the mph speedometer and a spare parts original gauge pod, but still miss the kph speedo.

 

Thank you.

 

does anone know the VIN or history of this Countach?

I would like to find out the first owner.

 

ARRRRG! Man, do you know how difficult it was to forget I had seen that abomination? I pray that someone rescued it and put it back the way it should be...

 

Was that Roy's old QV ?

 

VIN: ZA9CA05A9JLA12300

I don't know about the owners details.

 

Woooooooow, i want one. regards.

 

I believe the first owner lived in Ohio.
George and Mike with Evan Automotive know of this original owner.
I was told by them that the car was pristine and stored in a climate controlled garage.

The car was purchased in 2004 by AJ in Atlanta GA., he used to participate in this forum.
He chose to do many of the changes seen in the photos at the hands of the now bankrupt Robert Ball owner of Supercar's International Inc.

I still have a photo somewhere of the fuel injection lines installed backwards on the engine after Robert was finished going through it. If someone was considering this car for purchase I would strongly encourage a thorough PPI by a qualified and competent shop.

The car is in Switzerland, the current owner had to redo the engine completely.

 

Nope, never owned this one.

 

Here is a 1984 colour chart for Countach S and Jalpa. I found it some years ago somewhere in the web.

I have two of the chip displays and they have a different red from early and late. I will have to go grab them and see what they other red was rosso corsa.
