Its been a while since I posted. Been a while since I got the car out and got some of the dust off. Snapped a few pics so I thought I would share.

Is that Alex's old car?

 

Yep. Has been an incredible car. I think I have had it about 9 years now.

Thanks for all the nice comments everyone!

Besides obvious cosmetics, how does this differ from the car that was recently for sale? Is it caged? I suppose the GT v. GTR specification?

Man, that is a special car and what a cool build! Glad you still have it and will be very hard to sell at this time...I think you will always have it! They did such a good job on that build! I wish I bought it when it was for sale. If we only knew where the market was going with the Diablos back then!

Mechanically the car is a 6.0. It does have the full Kreissig exhaust including headers. Does have the proper GT seats and steering wheel. No cage. Other than the obvious external GT cosmetics, its a 6.0.

I have always wondered where it ended up. That is one of the most amazing cars ever. I remember when Alex got pulled over in front of me speeding through the Army base on the Giro the first year. It was everything they could do to keep him out of jail. I used to have pictures of the radar gun from the MP's car. The orange car is super special, I think there are only 3-4 US cars left (I think there were 5 originally in the US, but I know that one for sure got totalled, and possibly another one.)

 

Enjoy that car in good heath man, you have a wonderful piece of history there.

Funny how things change over the years.

I almost bought one identical to that in 02, the one that got away. I wish I had one, it's the best Diablo there is. And that's my favorite color. Enjoy!!!

That's awesome. Great color on an amazing car.

 

I love the Diablo. Keep all of these homogenized plasticky-shit modern cars. This is the REAL BULL.
