    How on earth do you get all these pics of the CT's? That is at least the second one you have posted of my car, which I have not seen! That was taken at Knockhill racing circuit possibly two years ago.

    He has done the same thing to me in the past. Sometimes just hours / days after I had the car out. It is a strange feeling at first until you learn how he does it.

    "2)87 5000qv(fi) 1200miles does $200.000 asap!"

    that must be a typo!!! or it sold for $200 and 000 1000/cent.

    no one will convince me that a 87 injected, even being the 1200 mile, that probably was being sold by MMC and we saw at Marios reunion, fetched $200K!!!

    Surely some offshore guy with fast money must have bought it.

    Denmark... humm... Is it where car cost like $300K there? that would explain. That was the car from NY right? I recall the guy would trail it anywhere because he was afraid to put mileage on it. Low mileage can be a curse sometimes. A museum is probably the best place for that particular car.

    Actually I wonder what is the lowest mileage recorded on a Countach non anniversary over the past couple of years. If i recall there was another 800-900 miles. I am sure someone has got a brand new Countach tucked away with 10 miles on it.. Please come out ! :)

    This 1200 mile car was owned by Joe Nastasi, it was part of his own private collection.

    Tony, was this Joe's red 25th CT? I saw most of his collection including Miura, and others when he was closing up shop. I bought a lot of parts from his shelves. Great guy.

    David,

    I think both you and I bought a lot parts from Joe when he closed up shop. Remember "MiamiMellisa"? I think she was the person selling all the parts on eBay for Joe. I bought SOOOOO many spare parts for my Jalpa, I could have opened my own parts store! LOL!!

    From what I understand, after the factory test driver had finished with the car it would show about 135km and most wrere delivered that way. So a a brand new Countach will show this mileage.

    I know of 2 Annivesarios with this mileage, one is Bianco Perlato/Blu with white piping.

    Mike, Peter,

    Yes that was her, him. Not sure if you ever made it into Long Island City (part of NYC) to Joe's shop. He had a huge supply of everything, including an amazing amount of LM 002 stuff. He was there walking around and I asked the woman showing me around if I could talk to him. We starting talking and he started showing me cars and parts even he had forgotten about. A really good time.

    Mike, do you still have Jalpa stuff?
    If you are looking to sell anything PM me.

    Thanks.
    David
    (I just got back from a 2,400 mile weekend road trip from Jersey, to Clovis, NM to Denver, CO)... what a weekend.

    Sorry Dave, I sold everything that I had shortly after I sold the car. I just wish I had enough foresight (and common sense) to have bought all of their Countach stuff as well (knowing that I would eventually own one!!! LOL!!!)

    Mike,


    I hear you. I debated whether I should stock pile parts for a CT. I still do not have mine yet, but one day soon rather than later it wil happen.
