Countach, the ultimate supercar

Awesome find! Thanks for posting! I get a kick out of watching those old clips

 

Thanks everyone for the kind words! I really like digging into those old footages... The rest of it is really nice too. And yes, I was also surprised that they call the Khamsin (a very early one without the front vents) a Merak!

 

I sure like the Countach in yellow. I know its not for everybody, but I think yellow really makes the lines of the Countach "pop".

I agree although I also believe it depends on the interior color, as I was not a fan of dark brown however the lighter white, beige or tan looks pretty good IMO.

 

Is that recent? I looked at that car four years ago when I was in the market for one. I would be curious to see what he is asking.

 

I guess I should have hit the link and I would have figured it out, yes recent

 

Says its "Museum ready"
Would you devaule it too much if you used it? Seems a shame not to drive her and let her breathe . . . .

Guys
Are the hand brake pads for the QV a cross ref for any other part from another supplier? Apparently N/A from factory.
Also, does anyone have a cross reference for the diff seals going to the half shafts? there are two one with a part number on the catalogue and one without. I don't want to strip them to take them to get cross matched unless I have to.
Appreciate any help
Paul

 

Paul:

Are you talking about item #4 in this diagram? If so, the part number I used when I replaced mine was #002506601. I got them from Bill @ GT Car Parts in Arizona (623) 780-2200 . Very cheap. I think they were like $4 a piece.

As to the hand brake pads, I have no idea.... Are you sure they need replacing? Or, could they just need re-adjusting? I thought that I read somewhere (either on this site, or one of the other sites), that someone found out they could just send in the old pads to a brake shop and they would fit new pads (just like they do with drum brakes). I'll see if I can dig around and find that thread......

You can also check with Chad here also... he might have some laying around in his collection of parts!

The drive shaft are almost the same as Porsche 930 Turbo, you should be able to use those.

 

Raymond/ Mike
I have found a shop in the UK who will resurface the pads for £8 each so sending tonight and will be sending off my clutch kit as well for a refurb. Raymond I know you got yours done years ago in Germany? Any specific instructions I should give?

Part number is off the diff

008615008 is a crappy oil seal and o ring 008607501; other side is 008615007

Anyone got a cross ref for these?

Raymond are you sure the 930 is a straight swap? I need the cage of one driveshaft refured although not essential. I could send it to a Porsche specialist if is the same or similar

thanks guys

Stars as always on here

It's similar but not same, you can send it to this specialist.

Been discussed. 2nd or 3rd times on there. Tony I in Fla selling it.
It is interesting be cause I I have seen maybe 2 79s with it's original radios ans it was not that alpine.

Btw I think 1038 has the cm630.....yes?

 

1038 is radio delete ATM.

 

Did it have a CM-630 in it?
I have a photo somewhere of a CM-630 in what I thought was that car...but I could be mistaken 1038 for another.

 

I haven't a clue, it was restored radio-delete, and I only know of its life post-restoration. Please post the pic you have.
