topcabron Report post Posted November 30, 2007 It must be this time of year. I cant remember the last time a CT was offered for less than $80K. This Ebay auction has a BIN of $75K. This wont last long. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1987-Lambor...1QQcmdZViewItem If that doesnt work its item # 120191123879 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
abolfaz Report post Posted November 30, 2007 Maybe just a bad time of year to sell a car or just a very realistic price to move inventory. Did you see the 512BB with the Twin Turbo TR Motec Norwood motor that sold for $80k a couple of weeks ago? Explain that?!

If you want a hot-rod, don't modify a Boxer. In addition, what is the mechanical condition of that car ? _____________________________ Jason With the Countach, don't become emotional. If you want it, ask to buy it under the assumption, that it passes your mechanical inspection. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
IsleroMan Report post Posted December 1, 2007 Hate those sills (makes the 1988.5 sills look good ), but you can't beat the price if its not a leaking, smoking wreck. I think right now is a bad time to sell a car. It's coming into winter, so in 3/4 of the country you can't drive collector cars now, and I think people are still taking a wait and see attitude because of the housing market crash. I took it in the shorts on my 911 I just sold, but I needed to liquidate. If I had to sell the CT right now, which fortunately I don't, I'd probably be taking another big loss. The CTs Roy practically gave away at Monterey didn't help values right now. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

emilio Report post Posted December 1, 2007 Simply modified too much for a semi-classic. If you want a hot-rod, don't modify a Boxer. In addition, what is the mechanical condition of that car ? true, from a value point of view these mods don't help the car if it runs well otherwise it should be a great FUN car though and i'd like to own it Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earlycat Report post Posted December 1, 2007 I don't like the rockers or the after market antenna on the left rear quater, but other than that it looks like a really good deal. The add says nothing about the car, so it could have some issues. PPI! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ken qv Report post Posted December 2, 2007 It would be great if someone in the area could check it out and report back..... as suggested, get a PPI because it can't hurt. (Roy only gave away one countach and that was still in the 85grand range) (problem is, it was an S1) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lambolp400s Report post Posted December 2, 2007 Someone know about the car/s Roy "gave away"? Would like to see ads or photos of the cars in question to see what these buyers got for their money. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Ierardi Report post Posted December 3, 2007 Someone know about the car/s Roy "gave away"? Would like to see ads or photos of the cars in question to see what these buyers got for their money. The car Roy "gave away" was an S1 but was not an original car. It was worth more than the $88,000 that the buyer paid but it was not worth more than $100K at that time. One day it will be. There is an S1 for sale now for $110K but needs about $70K to re-do it and at this time there are no takers. I could spend $20K on the ebay QV to make it right... but why? I can find 10 of them that need less work that don't have aftermarket add ons. You get what you pay for... trust me I have owned 5 Countachs and it has been a real education.

ken qv Report post Posted December 3, 2007 So Roy only sold one Countach at the Monterey auctions and brought the other two back home. I bought the one (88) and it looks like he recently sold Steve Lefferts old car but I don't know where it went. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
IsleroMan Report post Posted December 4, 2007 I thought he sold both the S1 and a QVDD cheap. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Report post Posted December 4, 2007 Lefferts car did sell. I know where it is but won't say because maybe the owner doesn't want anyone to know. Not sure how much. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

lambo128 Report post Posted December 11, 2007 Rumor has it that the headgaskets are shot on both sides and it leaks a lot of antifreeze. I hope whoever bought it picks up on that.........going to be costly. Thats why it is priced accordingly. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

De993 Report post Posted December 11, 2007 There is an S1 for sale now for $110K but needs about $70K to re-do it and at this time there are no takers. Where?? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Ierardi Report post Posted December 12, 2007 Where?? Are you looking for another? It is a private seller I am not at liberty to say, I also have nothing to do with it. I know yours has been offered for sale and I know the price but I will not say that as well. People call me to ask my opinion on a lot of S1's based on the condition and what I paid for mine. Not to mention my experience after owning 5 Countach. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
