    Speed Channel has a program called American Truckers that's about, you guessed it, American semi trucks. I just caught a few minutes while channel surfing and in one scene, the host is in a junkyard in what looks like the southwest, and there's a 5 second shot of a bare CT body sitting in a tumbleweed pile. Its white and appears to be have a QV front bumper. The rest is just a bare shell with no wheels, radiator intakes, interior, etc.

    The host runs over and yells "oh, cool, a Pantera. I always wanted one of these!" Uh huh...

    Probably a kit car body, but did anyone catch this? Hulu has some episodes but not this one yet. If you want to look it up later, the subject of the show is restoring the semi from the 80's show "BJ and the Bear". It will probably be re-run later this week.

    Watched it once, great show. My wife, surprisingly, liked it even more.
    That dude is silly!
    Did not set this episode though.

    DOT side markers?
    IMHO I think that was the real deal

    That was my thought too.. Many of the replica bodies were one piece and with zero visible framework it's all just sitting there on uneven ground in the wind and sun with front bumper, headlight doors, flares, etc all in place and not distorted
    To me it just looks to be a fiberglass body in white gelcoat that someone had done a lot of blocksanding trying to make it straight..

    Especially the euro front bumper... the holes for the fog/driving lights are blanked out. A real Euro bumper has them cut out. Unless it's just the way the photo is taken....

    What I'm saying is I did not know the Countach could stay intact if there is no frame..............in other words...it can't. Correct me if I'm wrong but the body panals are riveted onto the tubes indivually.
