Looking for info on a 91 diablo going thrugh a toronto auction

Richies? Really?

Which city is this one running? I get the flyers often but toss them all the time. I don't buy heavy equipment. But do you have any info on this car? As you can imagine there are a million things to find out about an old diablo that is selling along with dozens of tractor trailers, fork lifts and such. Any servicing needed, how's the clutch?

Wierd..........I was surprised when you said Richie Bros....as they are a heavy equipment auction.........tractors, construction, etc.

I don't know this car but I do know a local Diablo owner (red) - and I myself work 5 mins from this auction yard.

I must say though, she looks good against the backdrop of heavy equipment!!!

Bolton, Vasco, Bolton. Where you need to come visit Thomas @ Toyota and myself....

I would guess most of the guys there wouldn't be looking at exotics.......might be a steal of a deal.......

Thanks. I just logged in and found it. I'm still registered! There are also 4 Lamborghini tractors listed in Europe too!!!

I definitely have seen this car before. The guys at Forza might know this car.

This car may sell cheap. But be prepared for other stuff...

 

welcome, interesting first post. do I know this mark??? friend of marioz?

Not the same Mark, Chris (more Bull in his user name)

I don't think that's a Lambo--it's a Cat in disguise

Yes a closer look proved to be a spammer, Vasco and Rob Lay booted him!!!

 

Vasco, this car looks familiar to me also. IIRC, I've seen this car many times driving around Kleinburg/Woodbridge area a few years ago.

According to the VIN plates on the car, it was imported by MCL Motorcars...which is in Vancouver. It must have made its way east sometime ago....

 

I bought a 91 diablo cheap 5 yrs ago. After I bought it I found out it needed the chain tensioners updated and a new clutch. It cost me an extra 40k by the time everything was completed. With out any service history on a 91-93 Diablo I wouldn't do it again. 1 clutch is to stiff. You can't see out of the front window with that pod in the way. No power steering. I am looking around for a 94 and up if anyone know of any.

Just my 2 cents.

 

There was a yellow Diablo seized in Alberta last year. I had a picture of it as it was going from Calgary north (somewhere) on a flatbed. I will look to see if that's the same one.

 

Yes, it was seized around Christmas as we were heading to Edmonton when we saw it on the QEII.

 

I think the one seized had a rear wing though.

 

The car seized in Calgary is not the same car posted by the OP

 

So you had one and now looking for another? I guess you regreted selling the last one?

Anyway, good luck with this. Assuming that the car needs a clutch (again, just assuming) and some other work. I wouldnt pay more than 35K.

 

The car from Calgary had quite a few issues that needed attention... As long as you're prepared for a project, it could make a fine car one day.

 

Just found it on the site and I notice in the Notes section it says the car has had rear end damage.

 

I am pretty familiar with Ontario auction and dealer sales rules and all I can tell you is that you should already know if it's a salvage tittle and the amount of the "hit" well in advance of bidding. Or on the day of auction at the latest. So, I hope you've done your due diligence. Legally according to OMVIC, these things should be stipulated!

P.s for the record, I ain't affiliated or against this car or seller. Just stating whatever little facts I know.

P.s.s. , a carproof.com report will be your friend.

 

He has a point you know!

 

Looks like it sold for 76k... to someone on the east coast...
