  4. Fortis - congrats to you and your brother! Your car is positively sinister in the best way! And I love the purple! I hope you both enjoy for many kilometers in the best of health! Looking forward to more pics when it comes home!
  5. Doesn’t suicide also generally preclude one from collecting on most types of insurance? If that’s true - then whatever insurance is in place for the surviving family is null/void - further adding to the difficulty of what has been thrust upon the family. I’m not sure suicide = insanity but I agree it’s selfish when there are dependent minors involved. I never watched Bourdain. Knew who he was.
  6. I don’t think so. The comments seem genuine. My assumption is that he felt that was a reasonable price and obviously was willing to pay it, and rather than go up in small increments he just put it on the table. Of course I’m guessing, but since he references having owned one, and regretting selling it seems like he’s the “real deal”. He also says he’ll keep folks informed on the restoration. I have no idea what a good value is but thought it was an interesting car to see on BaT.
  7. Sold for 100,000 to Anthony Moody (the bidder’s user name) Only five bids and it went from $38,000 to $100,000 with no additional bids. One of Moody’s (buyer’s) comments: Anthony_Moody 54 Thank you for all the kind and informative comments, and I will keep everyone informed from hereon. Interestingly, this replaces the Espada Series One that I regret selling 33 years ago. At the time, then living in Chicago, I was also fortunate to have a Ferrari 330 GTC in the garage and, to the surprise of many, the Espada was clearly my favourite.
  8. I see your web site references “LAMB0STUFF” which was autocorrected by this site to “please check with our franchised Lamborghini dealer sponsors” IIRC Lamb0stuff used to be owned by MAG and was their in-house parts distributor. Are you affiliated with a dealer or with Lamborghini NA? Are you independent? There was no info on your web site “about us” other than FAQ which only explain policies - but nothing about bullstuff as an organization (the people, any affiliations, the story...) To mods: if this crosses a line into the “what-do-you-do-for-a-living” territory then disregard/delete. I figure since Audrey is putting the link in the signature - the question is fair game.
  9. Excited for you!!! Looking forward to pics!
  10. I'd imagine tufted velvet (or velour) would wear very poorly if it really got driven.
  11. Bid went from $38000 to $100,000 in one step. Just after bidding opened there was a bid of $1974 lol. Be interesting to see where it ends up.
  12. No connection to this sale. Stumbled across this while on BaT. Bidding is open but nothing yet... https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1974-lamborghini-espada-2/ BaT Essentials: Lot #9922 Seller: Denase Location: Broomfield, Colorado 80021 Chassis: 9808 Series III Example 26k Miles Shown, TMU 3.9-Liter DOHC V12 5-Speed Manual Gearbox Black Cherry over Maroon Leather/Velour Six Weber Carburetors Electronic Ignition Transmission Work in 2017 New Valve Cover Gasket in 2018 Partial Records Private Party or Dealer: Private Party Category: Italian This 1974 Lamborghini Espada is a Series III example that was purchased new by its current owner for use as a personal driver and has since become part of his hangar collection in Colorado. The car is powered by a 3.9-liter DOHC V12 equipped with six carburetors and mated to a 5-speed manual gearbox. A variety of exterior and interior cosmetic modifications are described below, and the most recent service consisted of transmission work in early 2017 along with replacement of a valve cover gasket in spring 2018. This Espada is offered on behalf of the current owner by a collection staff member with partial records and a clean Colorado title. The Espada was penned by Marcello Gandini for Bertone, and this example is believed by collection personnel to have originally been finished in tan, though it currently wears a repaint in black cherry. The older finish is shown under bright sun and indoor lighting, and several blemishes are photographed up close in the gallery below.
  13. Bella! Would love to see a photo of the glovebox signature please!
  14. SWEET!!! (of course I'm biased) Sharkwerks is a great addition. We did the TPC exhaust and are very happy with the sound. Stock setup was too quiet, but we didn't want super-loud either. Now it has a really nice growl, and sounds "appropriate" to the car. And we can turn off sport exhaust if we want a little bit quieter (although not a huge difference). Congrats and enjoy in good health!! I am still in luv with the UV paint.
  15. Diablo SV wheels. I agree with the previous statements. The OEM wheels have a visual “heft” in keeping with the look and size of the car. The see-through styles don’t have presence to compliment THAT car.
  16. I was simply providing info. It's not pertinent. Sad but not relevant.
