Countach, the ultimate supercar

Oh Geno, didn't you know......our Countachs are lowered at speed. The areodynamics pushes the car to the ground the faster you go

 

Thanks Joe, I am a big fan of this thread. The shared information is priceless for a Countach enthusiast.

Here's a couple pics of a carburated QV that drives around Atlanta pretty regular. I know you must know about this car as well.

Was that red ATL DD the one that used to be white? anyone know.....maybe about 8years ago? The other car appears to be an 88.5 with anniv rims and little mirror extensions that don't look right imo, but at least he is out on the road!

 

Makes sense! Got my car back minus one DOT bumper. Looks so much better. However now with bumper gone the Quicksilver exhaust tips look like they are sticking too far out. Peter, Joe, thoughts?
Excuse the grainy pics...

note that the 1984 5000S have the bull emblem in the rear body panel: that's correct.
This not happens on 1982 ones, i'm not sure for 1983 cars.

I like this car and looks to be a very good car too.

Yes, you are right: you need another exhaust, hopefully an Ansa Sport. That Quicksilver is shaped for the USA bumper car.

Very good car indeed, congrats.

ciao

 

Agreed. If you keep that thing, very simple to heat and bend but make sure it's done correctly.
Then, also, Albert sugggestion of an Ansa is a good idea if you.....................................

But I think I know which one you're keeping

 

BETTER IDEA......we can use a hack saw and just slice the tips back an inch or 2! Ten minutes tops.

 

I am doing the euro rear look this winter. I also have the quick silver. I was going to shorten the four pipes that connect to the header and then remodify the hangers. You cant take much off of the tips on a quick silver. They welded these spacer caps in there which would effect the appearance.

 

Yes the red DD used to be white. I believe the Atlanta owner sold it a couple years ago and it ended up for resale again out in California. As far as the FI car, yes it is an 88.5 with the anniversary rims. I have met the owner several times over the years, he added the side mirror extension to aid with overcoming blind spots. Vail drives the car often enough and his wife owns a silver Espada since it was new.

 

Thanks Vic... i thought you might know. Very cool about the wife with the Espada,
Keep in touch.

 

That wing and the wing support is to die for

 

Judging by the dark colour of this car this might be 40066 marone/naturale delivered 04/78. Did anyone notice there is a second Silhouette at the other end of the line?

 

Thanks Joe for the information. Sad to hear that it left Atlanta, it was cool that it was driven on a regular basis.


I hope you don't mind me posting up a few more pics. This Countach is one of my favorites.

Yes the car I offered $280K for and the seller passed...

 

That used to be/might still be one of Jeffs cars... imported from France.
Looks like the pictures you took were from Celebration. If that's the case then you should have seen your old friend from Atlanta
