Countach, the ultimate supercar

Both up or down are great, prefer them up on mine

 

Thanks all.!Yes the scene is like from 1980 even that houses looks like from 80s.
Now i am preparing Countach for trip to ,,terra dei motori" to do some service and than can wait for spring ride..

 

The life of a Countach ....never a bad pose, some mistreated at times, but never a bad pose.

 

Here's one for Joe. = )


Let's see if you can get the #.

It's #1034, but since I'm not Joe, you'll have to highlight to see it.

BTW, Joe will certainly know the number. He owned the car at one time.

 

I knew that would bring a smile to you that's why I posted it.

What a beauty. Isn't she the 33rd CT built?

 

By the way how did that roof come about? Did the periscope get modified to a "normal roof"?

 

I have just purchased an S2 LP400S. 1121154. Black/black with gold wheels (original)

Looking forward to getting it up to Scotland in early 2014 after a few cosmetic jobs are done. Car had mechnical overhaul in April after previous owner took it to London from France.

I'm making my way through this thread!

Excellent purchase.

 

Thanks for the video!

 

No such thing as perfect, but if you insist take off the front licence plate then and only then it'll be perfect. =)

 

@ Joe. My son and I spent the day with a mutual friend.

I would like your opinion, and maybe take a vote here.

This person has the white 84' Koenig Countach that was in FL.

It's currently going through a full restoration.

He wants to paint it Tahiti Blue without removing the Koenig "kit".

I personally think this a grave mistake and the car should remain white due to the fact it's a rather famous poster car.

Removing the Koenig "kit" in my opinion would require so much body work it would not be worth it financially. Painting it blue in my opinion would simply kill it's future value potential. I just hate to see him be in this car $200k+ and end up with a nightmare at the end of all that hard work.

 

Since you said take a vote: i would paint it the original color.. if that was different than white or if he wants to change the color completely, then the kit should come off. i also believe the interior was originally white on that car and so should be redone. Nobody cares if it was "a poster car".. that doesn't add to its value. Many of our cars were used in ads and on posters and pics with models etc. While i don't mind it, i think the kit alone reduces the value anyway but is loved by a few people. I know a guy here in FL that wanted it badly but i guess it's all about timing.
