So my sister found Negative Film of the Countach and digitized them, oh what a joy to see these pics for the first time.

 

My mother had some great photography skills :D!

 

I am still hunting down the actual car. I have narrowed it down to 3 possible cars, but my bet is that it is DLA12560 - a Member of another board named James V. Diment (JVD) owns DLA12560 and says on the forums he owned it since new and was wanting to sell it in 2010-2013. Anyone know of him or of his car? He resides in New York according to what he said.

 

Cheers and enjoy! We apparently have a bucket of film to develop!

 

1983~ Lebanon

Stunning photos, and always love to see period correct ones too when these things were new.

 

LP5000 and LP400S are my favorite looking Countach variants.

Thanks everybody!! I am glad you are enjoying them. I will keep updating this thread with more pics.

Haha That would be a dream! Growing up I dreamed of finding the owner and buying it back for my dad... even back when I was 10 years old!

Something about Period photos right? Takes you back to a time you weren't even born, as if you are seeing ht car for the first time on release!

 

I too love the LP400s-LP500S variants the most!

 

As for finding the car, anyone with any info on a black on black NY car being sold around 2010-2013 PM me :)

Awesome pics. Thanks for sharing. Love the family pics too. Your dad was a baller !

Thanks man, haha My thoughts exactly!! He was so bad ass, you should see the other photos :P Rocking the long wavy hair in the 70s with his Maserati Indy, or the car he hand built, or even the turtle neck and vest and sunnies in the 60s! :D

Please elaborate. There was a member from NY that had two black ct's around that time, he sold one of them.

Well I narrowed down that only 3 Black on Black Countachs were made in 1982-1983. One of them that was made early 83 has a Vin number of DLA12560. If you google "DLA12560" you will see a person of the name James V. Diment from New York that was writing about his "DLA12560" and how he owned it from new since 83 and wanted to sell it around that time. He even writes of a guy with a pristine Black on Black Countach in New York that was going over to look at his Countach, perhaps he bought it of him?

 

That's the most info I can get on DLA12560.

Got any more info on that owner?

 

 

Rockin a Countach in Lebanon takes some balls. fcuking awesome.

 

IT does, My uncles used to escort him with AK 47s at times, anyone could have car jacked him during a full fledged war. One of the reasons he sold it!

That's the guy I'm talking about. He ended up buying the car then he had one of the two he owned for sale.

Awesome! Are you in contact with him by any chance? I would LOVE to check out if it is indeed my dads ex CT. Thing is, JVD would most likely know about the early history of the car, however, i'm sure that history is shared with the new owner. :) It would be easy to identify it, missing bull at the back, small indicator at the front, no reflector at the rear/sides unless they were forced on to get it registered in the US. and unless added on/repaired by either my dad or newer owners, missing reflector on the left taillight as per last attached image.

 

Cheers!

So your Dad bought a Countach during the civil war, kudos to him. I love the old pics of Lebanon, was that in Rabiya, Bikfaya, Broumana maybe ? I hope you find the car, that would be really cool.

That's in Douma mount Lebanon. My favorite place in the world!

The round building in the background is Hotel Douma attached now colored Purple.
