Hey Mike, me too! Big wedding in Big Sur and had to be on the road early on Friday morning as I was picking up a loaner Airstream 30' trailer to...
Mike, I'm impressed that you still have any piggybanks left! When I bought Espada no. 1, #7323, in 1996 for $10k, we had to go to three separate...
Nice video, only a half-dozen mistakes or so, not bad. My favorite is that Lamborghini wanted a a compact engine so he went with a short stroke. Um...
#7210 isn't that late. In fact, it's probably mid-run or earlier for the S1. I used to own #7323 which was the 113th car built, June of '69. Yours...
If the old interior was trash then restoration is called for. I made a mistake with my first car and threw away a decent interior (the driver's...
Sorry to report that they are all that way--at least, all the S1s and S2s. Plastic that looks like it was nibbled by rats, scrap wood from...
Ugh, bet that hood needed work after that. The closure gaps on that side have shrunk to about zero. Wasn't made for that kind of load.
On the Series 3 it should be on top of the air boxes running from the NACA ducts to the firewall, and very easy to find. At least, that's where...
Well I care, a rebuild of an Espada's Koni cost $375 last time I did it. X4. No, it's easier to throw a net over the tire than it is to cinch...
This was a longer tow than I like on a U-Haul, but I figured the shocks were dead anyway... [ATTACH]
Actually, that's incorrect, which is why you see new cars on multi-car transporters secured by the chassis and cinched down to the trailer. If you...
Bravo!
Said rescue squad, last week in San Diego. [ATTACH]
Beautiful car, great find!
Y'all want stability. Here are two facts that will not change anytime soon: they are not making any more Espadas; they are making more rich people...
If you think this was a $50k car then the sale price was not unreasonable. The difference will be a relatively small percentage of the total...
Problem solved: 1972 Lamborghini Espada Series II Project | Bring a Trailer
This is a known problem in Espadas. When you really step on it, the tach can torque-react, the needle staying in place while the whole instrument...
Oh to have such time and patience! I've done 1.5 restorations on an Espada, a full out-of-boxes ground-up that took seven years and a rolling...
Anybody know what's going on here?? Whose car is this? [ATTACH]
