    Late carb cars are reaching 700-800k? Really?

    Wow, I've not even heard of one getting close to that. Mind you, I have not seen an FI Anni car for sale at the 500 mark suggested earlier either.
    From a driving standpoint, if early LP400 cars are close to 2 M then 700-800 for a DDQV is good value...from a driving perspective. I say all this with slight tongue in cheek.

    I agree, Ive never seen the elusive $500k 25th, and if an actual sale exists, perhaps someone can post an actual chassis number and means by which the number can be independently corroborated. Truth be told, I haven't seen the $400k one either, with corresponding chassis number.

    As regards the LP400, if ever the expression "one sale does not a market make" applied it would be with 0010 which sold at Pebble Beach to people connected with the car's original ownership. Unfortunately, wind of the interest of the parties occurred before the auction, and you can draw your own conclusions as to what happened next. The previous $1.2m sale for 0066 at Amelia was in my opinion the benchmark, but even that number is high and it remains to be seen if it will hold up.

    Agreed. I have never seen a FI 25th for 500 but I thought you had eluded to it.
    With asking prices of the current cars for sale as they are, the price of admission is at least consistent among them for new buyers. In this case the sellers have some control as they all seem to support a new level.

    The past 30 days has brought some interesting sales numbers for Countachs across the board, and the next 30 days will do the same.

    I'm interested in actual selling prices that can be corroborated to a specific chassis number.

    Yes, exactly like this! Thanks for sharing. I have just begun the restoration of a Series 3 400s and will share some pictures as well. That will give us all 3 of the 400s cars of which to follow the restoration.

    Is that a correct front bumper lip for a S2? Also the fog lights?

    Does anybody have a historical overview of what shocks were on the Countach at different points?

    Early cars had Ariston and Way assado, later they had adjustable Koni? At what point were the changes made?

    Its a USA DOT compliance agent application, same as on the ex-Malcolm Forbes LP400S S2. So, to answer your question, the bumper bar & larger fog-lights are not correct as per factory production, its a post-production modification.

    That is correct #042 & #232

    And if anyone has early 80's photos of # 042, I would be most greatfull. There appears to be some discrepency between factory records and finds on the car when I stripped it. Specifically interior colour.

    Hans all I can tell you is that my factory records say "Senape" for the interior, hope this helps.

    Thx Joe, I have those records too...

    In the spirit of preserving originality, much care and time is spent on dismantling any project.

    This piece of original trim was removed from the base of the steering column aswell as 4 other small pieces in the same colour. All discovered under the newer retrimmed interior. Judging by how well glued these were in the car, I can only assume they have some connection to the car from back then.

    Regardless, the owner wants the interior redone in this colour, just trying to determine the most likely CORRECT name for colour. My guess is tobacco or cognac.

    All input on this matter most welcome....

    Joe - looking through the history of this thread - on page 37 is that a picture of a young Joe Nastasi?
