It would be interesting to see if F.I. cars weigh slightly more and what about Anniv
cars? Probably the same as a 88.5 i would guess. A good friend of mine is just about the only one left with a US DOT bumper on his car.... i will ask him to weigh his.

 

How about posting some dyno sheets from people who have them?

 

It is now officialy for sale..

205/50.....has my heart pounding.

 

They are in actualy pretty good condition, no cracks, not hard etc etc..I drove on them for about 10 miles, no flat spots, no pull etc etc..I am not sure I would do a 100MPH in them..but ???

I did average 50 plus in them for the trip however..

 

old news.....we want to know about the S1 !!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Looking very nice Roy.

Is this the same one from the accepting offers thread?

 

the S1 is stunning and perfect.
This S2 is very nice too.

 

LOL dont recall to many COuntachs I have been doing lately

 

Sorry..in Area 51 LOL not going anywhere for a while...still assesing it for my..YEP I know I say that everytime.........

 

Thanks Nick,
For some reason the louvered intakes had slipped my mind, I do recall the window design....I'm glad it was redesigned.

 

That is amazing!!!

I love the mousehair dash on those.

 

Roy,
PLEASE be very careful. This tire should not be driven on. It will ruin your day and this very special car.
Also, the rear OZ wheels are incorrect for the car. The front are correct Campys.

I'm not sure but the carbs should not have the small 40's but the bigger 45's.
Can someone confirm this?

Regardless, someone buy this great car!!!!

yes, rear OZ are incorrect for a 400S

while the 40's are correct
some S2 had 40's, later cars most
this is a late S2, so 40 are ok for it

agree 100% on the last thing: a car to buy

 

Damn! That tire is dry rotted.

Like Peter said the tire should not be driven on period.

Get them changed as you do not need the liability as a seller either.

 

Thanks Emilo and Joe.

There is dry rotted and then there is those slices. With the front tires doing pretty much all the braking, the corning, the stopping...it is just a matter of time, like very near future, that that tire will fail.

Hey, I have a set of P7's. Rears are from 1978 for which is the year of my car and the fronts 1980.....I have been so tempted to put them on and drive. Just because it would look so right. But I would never.
My plan is to take 4 or my 6 Bravos, mount these tire and hang for display. Regardless of what some say of the replica Bravos, I want a set with new P-Zeros to keep on the car. Only mounting the original set up for shows.

 

Thanks for your comments and concerns everyone. Just a FYI, I of course would not recomend driving the car on these tires. We of COURSE, by law as a Dealer, have a notify and release form signed WHENEVER a tire is date coded over 7 years. These tires are just for the sake of the originalty of the car. A possible buyer will be advised of that and the form will be presented to them and signed prior to a sale of the car.

I DO have a BRAND NEW set of Countach tires, that are with in the Date code...and of course, I am sure for a serious buyer of the car, we can negotiate them in somehow.

As far as the rear wheels, I just looked, correct they are OZ..I will have to check the warehouse, I think we may have accidently switched when it came in. When the car came in, I first had the old tires removed and NEW tires placed on the wheels...as I drove it about a 100 miles plus myself to enjoy it and evaluate it. Then prior to sale placed the old tires back on for the originalty of a possible buyer...so I am sure my "Lot Boy" did not notice the difference in the wheels when mounting dis-mounting etc etc..but that is my fault as he really would not know this small detail.

I will check later today and advise..

Thanks again for pointing this out to me.

Roy

 

Roy I believe your headlights may be inverted on your 400S.
I think the one on the left is low beam light and supposed to be on the right side.
The other one is the high-beam and is supposed to be on the left side of the box.
I may be wrong, maybe someone can confirm if they are indeed reversed.

 

OK, well I am sure we can pick this car apart till the cows come home.....

I will check if the gas cap is screwed on correctly or thread backwards...I think that may be possible... LOL LOL
