    That color combination is not difficult to locate. It is a U.S. quattrovalvole Countach. I do not know what is with the extra front wing ?


    Any special reason you want this particular car ?

    Was this the one where some shirt-less guy was auctioning off a ride in his car? He also had some Lambo logo carpets for sale.

    This car was for sale for a pretty reasonable price (under 60K) and it needed some attention.

    The dealer who sold it said that the buyer purchased it even cheaper and planned to bring it up to better standards so I thought he may be an enthusiast that someone would know about...

    Thanks

    I've seen those wings before. I thought the story was that even with the gaudy US bumpers, the car was still too low for federalization so they had to put something there on the car. Just hearsay.

    Jason,

    If you want some details about the car, you can PM me, I know the military guy that owned it before it was sold on EBAY. Just curious, why are you looking for this countach? The car was not abused, just driven and enjoyed quite a bit.

    Usually that was the case with the original European factory front bumper. That bumper looks to be able to meet the U.S. front bumper requirements, at the time of importation. The front wing appears to be a custom aftermarket addition (someone is really into wings).


    ...Notice the Major General stars on the front of the bumper.

    My dad who was also in the miltary knew the owner of that countach, he had pictures of it but unfornately i don't have them today but defnately that is the same countach.

    Black with US style bumper and the front spoiler, thats it alright.

    Didn't the Countach in the movie "The Cannonball Run" have a front spoiler like that?
