    My friends uncle has a countach that has been sitting for a number of years. He tried to sell it before unsuccesfully for around 90k. I was going to offer to fix it up, get it in good running order then try to sell it for him. I have not seen it in person but from what I hear the body and interior are in perfect shape. I believe its color is black. Anyone know if their is even a market for a salvaged countach like this?

    Everyone is looking for a bargain LP 400, with just a tiny scratch and some plain country farmer who has the title.

    I understood it is a 1978 car, with some bizarre looking telephone style wheels.


    The guy spoke with the farmer on the telephone. - He read 1978 on the title. Are these the stock wheels with this particular car ? Are these aftermarket wheels ?






    I thought you wanted a very rare P200 Uracco or 1984 Countach ?

    i would love to know details about this car as well. hell a beater may be fun as i will take the whole car apart anyway no matter how nice it is, as thats "what i do" . course a C/T is going to be a money pit, but it will be nice to have one to work on. really tired of what i have now. :(

    Yea, the one with the holes in the hood where the front bumper (looks like a wing) was attached to meet the 5mph bumper rule. That one looked to be in horrible condition. I wouldn't waste my time on that particular one.

    I'll start the bidding @ $25,000
     
  22. From what I understand that white one was sold, some one spent a lot of time & money on it. They wanted to bail out, and put it up for sale. Can't remember where I saw that, but I think he wanted 45k for it in its unfinshed condition. Do a search here, I think that is where I saw it.
