Countach, the ultimate supercar

Hi dear Countach enthusiasts,

I'm currently trying to list all the Countach LP400 that have spent some time in the USA.
By "spent some time" I mean cars that have been registered at some point in their lives, from the 70s 'til now.
Not the ones discreetly imported from Middle-Eastern countries or else, and being restored for the past decades...

So far I have:
1120004
1120008
1120010
1120024
1120026
1120028
1120030
1120036
1120040
1120052
1120056
1120058
1120066
1120078
1120086
1120088
1120090
1120098
1120104
1120110
1120116
1120126
1120134
1120136
1120142
1120152
1120154
1120156
1120158
1120160
1120162
1120166
1120170
1120172
1120178
1120184
1120188
1120192
1120194
1120196
1120204
1120218
1120222
1120234
1120238
1120262
1120266
1120268
1120280
1120284
1120286
1120290
1120298
1120300

I'm pretty sure I'm still missing a couple more cars here!
Is there anybody to add more?
To remove some?

 

Thanks Jim

 

1120007 Walter Wolf car missing

Are you sure?

Your source says:

"Information on this car was sourced from Registry.
The data on this specific vehicle was last updated 12-Mar-2001."

 

The best shop that everybody seems to outsource stuff to is FJB LTD in Arizona.

Jeff LeBlond is a guy whose skill set is beyond words in the area of shocks, suspensions, and so on...

 

Exactly.

To be even more specific: Walter Wolf owned 1120006 - the mysterious 1120007 (strange chassis number!) has already been discussed here, too.

 

Possibly. IIRC someone posted an old Japanese import document where "1120007" was listed. And the Japanese model manufacturer Eidolon Make Up made a model of the white/red "1120007".

Eidolon Make Up produces great models in 1/43 scale, by the way - I have both versions of 1121002 and two LP400 of them, but I still am searching for the LP400 in giallo/tabacco (they made it).

 

thanks guys, I stand corrected

Nice! I remember both the white Jalpa and the white Countach 5000S (and a girl dressed in white at Lamborghini's place) but I don't remember any of the other cars (this may speak for itself).

 

Wonderful!
Thank you for this link!

 

S1 jalpa with urraco tail lights : also nice and rare!

 

Love seeing the Aston Martin V8 Vantage too! What a firebreathing monster that was back in the day!

My first Countach drive was a white on white mod year 83. In Munich. Non functional speedo. But did 6500 rpm in 5 th. whatever speed that transelates to. Att getter does not cover it. It was like landing a space shuttle. Belonged to a gupsey. Had tiny persian rug/floormats.

 

Gypsy that is.

 

Hmmm.. my '82 LP5000S was delivered new to Germany some time in late 1982.

White over white. No wing.

Never seen a photo of it before it found its way to me.

Hmmm....

 

Have you done any work on a QV engine? does it suffer from any particular restrictions? I would love to know what the ideal size ITB would be, I had to guess...

 

Most of the gold Countach were either painted 'Oro Metallizzato Longchamp' or 'Oro Sahara'.
But this Countach LP400 was ordered in a very rare color named 'Oro Vecchio'... meaning "Old Gold".
I have never seen this shade of gold. Does anybody here have a photo of any Lamborghini (or any other classic car) wearing this unusual color?

Victor - which car is this? 1120228?

 

1120244

 

which was then painted Red, and sent to Australia where it was being restored I believe.
