Agostini Auto Junior Countach Go-Kart

Nice condition but totally useless, Even if you have a kid to use it, that excitment will disappear in a few weeks or months then totally out grown.
The only real use for this is for display. Even at that point, because of it's size, will start to get in the way. Seen it before.

I currently was given a new in the box Agostini ride-on from the 90's.....POS quailty.

 

Haha, just read the reat of the ad:

I did not know it would take up so much space that I had to move both of my motorcycles to another location. It weighs about 615 lbs, about 4.5 ft wide and 9.5ft long.

 

Junk.

Why would anyone want it?

 

side by side toys, dad's and boy's... useless !

 

They were $14K, not $50K in 1987 at FAO Schwartz

 

Ya guy is high as a kite... I think he maybe talking to some real Countach sellers to get his prices! lol

 

holy crap...I know the seller...emailing him now

 

Why do you always comment that countachs are not worth what people are buying and selling them for? Just curious. I mean with not many posts on the forum i was wondering if
you are an owner, a dealer, or what lends to your inside understanding of the countach market.....?

 

It doesnt take a rocket scientist to figure out that most countach owners are unrealistic in their own cars value. They look at a particularly high priced sale of a certain example and then expect theirs to meet or exceed that. Plenty of people here agree with me..

As for my credentials... youd be well suprised.

 

Well the go-cart seller has his original numbers more than a bit off, so it was kind of a funny little stretch of a comparison that Brad made.

 

I think it's cool but not at that price.

 

It's certainly VERY cool!! I love it.

If anyone knows of a 308 Agostini Auto Jr for sale, please let me know.

Buy it!

 

Thanks mate, I received a PM from the owner and I saw it but it's not the one I want.

Thanks for sharing though, much appreciated.

 

I realized that those fantastic Agostini Auto Junior Countach Go Karts were recently appreciating seriously in value. At least they were offered much more expensive. Does anybody know what is the background of this?

The pictured car is my one. Are there other owners here?

What I have found is that they are cool for a few years.
The kids grow out of it.
Now you have an almost 9x5 thing sitting in the way.
Over the years, I have seen those who have owned find that it really gets in the way at home or in their shop. I have seen them pushed into a corner and things piled on top of them back in the day.
So, you need a large display area as that F40 and F50 which looks great.
They really are works of art

 

Yes, I agree.

I have restored a fair fee of these and now they go to collectors that pair these scaled cars with their real car.. they look great together.

These cars were a strange build by Agostini... too powerful for your kids, and too small for adults... (although I have driven the countach and f40 after restoring these)
