    Thanks for that information. I have heard of some horror stories about Feds grabbing non compliant cars and I am considering buying a car that's out of the country right now.

    Took me a couple seconds but I found what you're referring to...

    ...yep, that's it.

    Sorry, I didn't realize there was a separate thread for the 25th Anniversario model; I'll post the pics there too...free post! :D

    it looks a 5000s and not a 400S from the interior
    it is missing the window handle as well as the air pipes that go on the airboxes. minor things

    worth to take a good look
    the wheels are not all the same brand (rear looks a Campagnolo with an OZ sticker)

    Correct Emilio, the Ad specifies "5000S", my notes said LP400S S3, so, duly corrected.

    That's Michael R who manufactures CF components and uses his car to showcase what can be done.

    Generally speaking, the Feds are interested if you break the law and simply don't care about bringing the vehicle into conformity. Just don't break the law! Clearly, its not too difficult to establish what the rules are if you are prepared to make the effort. At this point, ANY variant of Countach is old enough to come into the USA via the proper channels.

    I still think Leo's best roll was in What's Eating Gilbert Grape.
    He generally was unknown and I thought he was actually retarded...and I was very close with the mental health field. Incredibly convincing.

    Does anyone know if there is a paint code for the pearlescent white used on various Lamborghinis?

    Is there an easy way of determining whether a (rear wheel) rim is Campagnolo or OZ? I've seen different valve placements, but is this a give-away? Any tips appreciated.

    I think you'll find there are several different codes, but I don't have them to hand. Sorry I cant be more helpful.

    The portholes in the Campagnolos are bigger. I think someone needs to post comparo images - not me :)

    Doesn't the Campagnolo have more magnesium in it, and the rear side of the mounting face should be more 'flat' as well?

    I have been told yours is a Compagnolo wheel, with the above mentioned things...

    LamboPAINT - Lamborghini paint codes at LamboCARS.com mentions:
    White Pearl Years used : 1988-2004 : Paint code on car : LAMBOR-224009 - PPG code : 224009

    Can anyone shed more light on this particular Countach, in particular its interior?

    EDIT: Sorry, it's RE: the metallic gold coloured LP400 that crashed back in the 70's on its way to a motor show.
