Countach, the ultimate supercar

Joe pictures above do not display

 

Did Lambo steal the Porsche 962 Body????

 

I can see them fine, but is there more to the '86 qvx article?

 

That's what I'm talking about, but no one that I know has one. Those things are as rare as hen's teeth these days.

Michael do you own that beauty?

I'll probably address it again in the spring.

 

YES, we just used it to dial in the Bianco Pearlato car. The carbs are half of the battle....Ignition system must be in top shape and properly set up to make it sing.

That's pretty cool. Thanks for sharing! =)

 

Very cool... What cmHg did each carb pull?

Thanks

Joe, is the owner going to use this car? I suspect a lot of its value will be tied up in the low miles.

Best

Nice!

 

Ah oh, you mentioned "repainted" "gold" "wheels" in the same sentence. Hurry, run, hide! Here comes a thousand questions. lol

 

Nice car.
What color brand and color code did you use for your gold OZ wheels?
Since you mention it's the original gold color, did you get the paint from OZ or OZ Racing?

 

hi Jollygood if it helps the gold colour is mentioned here as Glassurit F101 C

Countach - PistonHeads

and the rest of the site is also well worth a good read.

 

I will add this code to the Gold Wheel Paint thread I started. Also, I have been given a gold paint code that has been used on an SV and Countach that I will post there too. Hopefully this help some owners. Comparing might be fun.

 

Most posts of the Countach of late have been related to value, of which I am as guilty as anyone. We must all remember what drew us to these cars in the first place and a rise in value (if any) is lagniappe, while a decrease in value, well just a cost of membership.

I ask that those with special insight, knowledge, and history related to the Countach continue to share their wealth of knowledge to those of us with the desire to learn as much as possible about the car we love. I look at threads like the 930 Turbo Carrera thread as a great example.

Please continue to share!

Thanks!!

+1. As Joe made the point with the 2015 SCM, the issue with collectors is that it seems the price rise has attracted a lot of uniformed people from all sides. Some publication such the SCM adds a lot of confusion as well.
I dont know about auction houses but as professionals, I would hope they promote the right information but that appears wishful thinking too.

At the end we are left on our own here to shre the real truth and even that we have to sort out thru the special interests.

for me, The price rise of Countach is both a source of satisfaction and anxiety.

Satistfaction because one is always happy to realize one made the right call from the heart and see a financial benefit on paper, like buying the right home you liked.

Anxiety because as we are reaching the 700-800K for the late carb car, It is hard to look at the car the same way or use it the same way. it is just the way it is when the value becomes significant for you. You drive it a bit less, a bit less agressvely and you are more paranoid on the road.
For a 5 or 6 digit millionaire or billionaire it would not matter but again with that money we would not talk on these boards. We would pay someone to handle the details.

 

That would be my job... where can I send my application ?
