In fact, Lee Iaccocca was dragged into a lawsuit over Carlini's favorable allocation of Countach 25ths, including Iaccocca's own cars. Speaking of lawsuits, Joe, that is quite a suit against you. I did not know you were a licensed financial planner, where did you get you license? Did you have a license to sell product like that? You do have to be licensed by the NASD, SEC and I am sure the state. If those people win, you might end up having to sell your cars to pay for that.

Why is the frame black in the front and silver by the engine? Is this for aesthetics or does it serve a purpose?
That pic looks like the gearbox primary and secondary shafts. Are you saying all 5/10 gearbox gears are different and/or the final? Do you have a part number of any gear in the 25th that does not match a QV part number? -mick
2011 Make A Wish event. Picking up the kids for the parade/cruise. Many happy owners sharing thier cars with the kids. http://ferrarichat.com/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=1345772&d=1308700676 (I need help. Is there an easy way to post existing pic's, from your own control panel attachments, to a thread here?)
Only the final ratio which is on that shaft, you can find the parts in the official parts manuals. I think I posted them on lambo-talk in the thread "Countach QV projects: Engine remove, gearbox, dashboard etc." in the countach section.
Let me try this a different way. It has been my understanding that the gearbox gears and final/differential of the 25th is unchanged from the QV. This comes from a number of factors - practical, parts manual and press releases. So to be specific, some key relevant parts are: 1st primary 002421346 (included with shaft) 2nd primary 002420384 3rd primary 002420385 4th primary 002425289 5th primary 002425290 (Obviously the secondary's must match the primary's) Main diff crown (final) 002308009 These are part numbers listed for both a 25th and a QV. If I'm missing something or not understanding something it would not be a surprise to me. But I'm looking for some hard facts that support the notion that the ratios of the 25th and QV are different. -mick
That's funny Joe! That station is exactly 1.3 km from my home and I will go there to "put gas in the car" just to hear it pop and crackle down the neighbourhood.
Don't worry about ancient history, suits & licensing, I certainly am not, and I dont lose a wink of sleep over it. Regarding Iaccocca, his car was 12648. At first when I saw it, I doubted it was originally silver with the one-off interior, but Valentino checked his records ad it was made this way specially for him. The leather in the interior is actually silver, these images are not very good I'm afraid.

Someone from the Lamborghini factory familiar with these cars has just told me in the last 24 hrs that same part number does not necessarily mean same parts in the variant range from LP400S to Anniversario (even though technically, it is supposed to). Does anyone have any familiarity with this issue?
Yes definitely agreed, I was speaking of Fuel-injected cars, should have clarified that. Speaking of DD 25ths, here is one stashed away in the far east, and evil twin of another car. Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
Don't know but clearly they finished the front frame in satin black early in the process Image Unavailable, Please Login
It appears to be owned by a Far East dealer and only emerges at shows etc Image Unavailable, Please Login
Bleu Speciale, cream leather with blue piping/dash/carpets, quite nice Image Unavailable, Please Login
That seems a bit of a strech if you limit things to QVs vs 25ths - and the issue is not bounded by part numbers. -mick
Another Far East DD 25th is this Viola liveried car (cream leather). I dont know what the color is called as I haven't seen the PPG paint tag Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login

TAV 019: Part #30 till VIN 12534 002421348, from 12535 002427488 The ratio was changed from 28/29 to 35/34. The opposite gear is 2419496 vs. 2427487 (new) to be found on TAV 20. The shaft I had to replace was #31 on TAV 019.
