    Looks amazing. Interesting that there’s no price or information on who to contact. Two slightly important details.

    Again, your comment makes no sense, learning is an endless thing, there is no point at which any of us know it all, we are all always learning.

    More comprehensive that most Euro conversions I have seen, this transformation cost a pretty penny.

    There are still a few details to tend to, for example the omission of front fender (small square) turn signal lights, and could use a sport exhaust also.

    That said it looks good wingless and without side skirts, and the ride-height is spot on.

    Beautiful color. They did what i was asking in the Anni section. Color change. As John stated these guys know a few thins in this market/cars will be interesting to see how this will do. Ox blood interior would have been the perfect interior. Very cool car.

    It will be very expensive, but he seems to be able to sell. Bruce didn't get a 917 by accident.

    There must be something absolutely amazing in restoring your favorit car,then to top of the sensation by choosing wich ever color you like,its possibly a risk worth taking, i have done this in other markets,Boats,bikes, with great success, Seems to always be that One person who have to have it. That beeing said,in the world of Italian Exotics,i have no clue.

    This is a color they invented and applied? Or was this a factory color?

    You don’t think there’s a lot to be said for a car wearing it’s original livery? I don’t consider a color change as a positive. The fact that he painted the car a different color is unfortunate, but that’s just me.

    Weather it’s a positive or negative is a matter of taste. As for a positive or negative for value, with vintage Lamborghini’s I’ve never seen a color change hurting value. Many many muira’s have had color change.

    For me, on this car, I would have liked to see it red bc it’s iconic. But it’s an interesting color. Bruce is know for not pulling and punches and this is his signature color

    I’d agree with Joe, that the reversion of the DOT modifications were done more completely than most, but there are a few details that can be corrected for the purest. Also agree about wingless and ride hieght being spot on. Nice car and I suspect not Cheap.

    Crazy someone would put so much effort into a Fuelie when we all know how worthless they are.

    I don’t think anyone is saying they are worthless by any means. Fuelie cosmetic changes to look more like a Countach is supposed to look is a good thing. Still, there is a Countach hierarchy that can’t be denied and fuelies are nowhere near the top (anymore than an anniversary car is). Regardless, they are all Countach’s and they all have great value, though some have much greater value than others. The market speaks for itself.

    Look like the removal of pollution control and painted air intakes.
