lp400s? Thought was suppose to go across last night?

 

I was wondering the same thing. I see on RM’s site that the SE30 didn’t sell and is still open to offers. RM’s webite is always nice when it comes to photos and descriptions, but really lacking on posting results. When you log into Mecum, you can see the selling prices almost instantly.

I plan on watching it live via the web tonight because I’m interested to see what my buddies 250 GTO will sell for and the 1988 5000QV comes up a few cars after his.

What was the high bid of SE 30?

Yes it did, $516,500 all-in with fees.

I don't expect great things from the yellow Fuelie.

 

LM002 at RM, no sale with high bid of $300,000.00

 

That is a great price, unless your the seller. Well bought.

 

Anyone know what the Fuelie sold for?

 

Honestly, when I was looking for a Diablo Roadster 4-5 years ago, I was surprised by the high number of neglected garbage quality cars. So maybe this was like that, compounded with trying to get a good price at Mecum....not a good venue for exotics from what I've seen. Still bet the seller needed to pound a fifth of something to get over the shock.

1988 Countach 5000QV hammered at $260,000.00

 

There’s still hope of me getting a fuelie, lol.

 

I'm curious about the carfax. Sometime ago, I knew a guy that had a yellow 97 Roadster. I don't remember the engine being painted yellow, so it might not be the same car, but if the fax mentions Indiana, it could be the same car. The car I mention had accident damage from clipping a mini van, and was fixed nicely. It was not major, but the mileage, an accident, and being generally not cleaned up/presented well could explain the results. Mecum is not (nor is BJ) the venue to sell an exotic, imo of course.

 

That was high bid. It was a no sale.

 

Thanks for the clarification, Chris. Wonder what the reserve was? With the fee’s added in, that would have been just under $290K (had it sold for $250k).

You are on the right track, the Fuelie variant is the most affordable variant of Countach.

ZA9CA05A2JLA12218 has been for sale for a while.

I note it was for sale on EBay with 8,475 miles in April 2011.

It was auctioned @ Barret Jackson in 2017 where it did not sell https://www.barrett-jackson.com/Events/Event/Details/1988-LAMBORGHINI-COUNTACH-5000-QUATTROVALVOLE-207841

It was auctioned @ RM Sothebys in 2017where it did not sell https://rmsothebys.com/en/auctions/FL17/Fort-Lauderdale/lots/r0253-1988-lamborghini-countach-5000-quattrovalvole/559933

It was then for sale @ Prestige Imports in Miami in 2018 where it was on Ebay and did not sell https://www.ebay.com/itm/1988-Lamborghini-Other-/392024295521?

The reason I said I did not expect great things from it's most recent sale is, IME, when a car has been offered for sale for a long period of time, or has failed to sell @ multiple venues, it's desirability somehow becomes significantly compromised.

Add that to the fact that this car features side-markers, DOT bumpers, side-skirts, wing, and many of the things Countach buyers today tell me they don't want, and so perhaps one can be forgiven for describing the car as sale-proof.

Buyers today have access to a lot of infirmation such as everything I've posted above, and they sometimes feel their intelligence is being insulted when a vendor offers a car again & again without even bothering to add value by correcting some of it's flaws to present it in a better standing. When this happens, long story short, potential Countach buyers are turned off the car and it gains a negative reputation.

This weekend we saw the tried & true formula, when a great car is presented for sale it's best light, it sells and sells well, clearly, that wasn't the case here.

I was there and saw that car, unless there was any story not told, it looked a great buy, I only quickly looked over it. An early Diablo is still the runt of the litter, and strangely I bought one last year on impulse. May even have bought this one at the price (too many projects right now). Many are missing the original wheels, have had awful maintenance, and had interior instrument binnacle updated. For a cheap V12 old style Lambo, its not a lot of money. It has a certain purity about it. It's day will come.

 

Lamborghini 400GT 2+2 01054 Worldwide Pacific Grove 35 $475,000 $550,000 €408,500 €473,000


i cant find any info on this one. anyone know the final bid?

 

We recently sold a restored P400 @ $1.45m as a reference, so this one is a strong number for a restoration candidate

Again, I think this was a strong number for this car given that it appears destined fir a restoration back to it's original livery
