De993 Report post Posted February 5, 2008 Damn. Sniper bids got it. Hopefully another will come up someday. It went for $1500. It was sitting around $200 for several days and then shot up at the last minute. I just hope it is actually going into a car that was intended to have it and not just in someones trophy case! I wonder if anyone here got it? BTW thanks again for the heads up!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Earlycat Report post Posted February 5, 2008 It was a speedometer. I thought it would go higher, I bid on it also. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Ierardi Report post Posted February 5, 2008 It was a speedometer. I thought it would go higher, I bid on it also. I thought it would have hit $2,000. Two bidders came in at the end with the same bid of $1,500. It would have been interesting to see if they went at it sooner. It was an NOS 320 Km/h Stewart Warner Stage 3 Speedo used in all LP400 and the first 27 Series One Countach S. One of the hardest parts to locate for these cars. The later Jager gauges have plastic speed indicator needles that curl up toward the glass with heat & age. The SW gauges have metal needles that stay perfect. Here is a picture of the one in my car.

MANG Report post Posted February 5, 2008 they can't even get $75K for an entire car on eBay and they are getting upwards of $1,500. for a (albeit rare) speedo thinking about dismantling my car piece by piece and bringing in Reventon money on parts sales Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
abolfaz Report post Posted February 5, 2008 Believe it or not, I know a guy who has a COMPLETE set of those gauges sitting in his den, brand new and in the original boxes. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

De993's car is missing that speedo, they needed it to make the car complete if they restore it. I guess someone needed or wanted it more.

Tony Ierardi Report post Posted February 5, 2008 Believe it or not, I know a guy who has a COMPLETE set of those gauges sitting in his den, brand new and in the original boxes. In Tampa? I would say that's about $7,500 worth of gauges. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
abolfaz Report post Posted February 6, 2008 In Tampa? I would say that's about $7,500 worth of gauges. Nope. You should see some of the NOS parts the guy has in his house, lp400 roof, doors, glass, 1/4 panels, rear decklid, interior parts, etc... All from lamborghini over the last 3 years, but only because of Balbonis help. He said the parts were buried in the factory and only Balmoni knew where the stuff was...

Tony, There were a number of us Countach owners watching it, so not much of a secret. Seller stated "New in Box". What were the 88 klm showing on it, test miles at SW?

Tony Ierardi Report post Posted February 6, 2008 so you are sayng i did not win with my 200 $ bid?.....LOL i did not thought it could go over 1000$, i am very surprised how much do you think a moody wing and an original LP400S manual signed by Stanzani is worth Tony? It depends on the wing... the "moody" name is not a type of wing but all wings as Joe can elaberate on. If it is a early adjustable no side plate wing like on my car....I would say $3,000 - $5,000. The manual I'm not sure on value. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Ierardi Report post Posted February 6, 2008 Tony, There were a number of us Countach owners watching it, so not much of a secret. Seller stated "New in Box". What were the 88 klm showing on it, test miles at SW? Ralph Who said it was a secret? The seller did not know the history of the gauge or the box. If you look at the SW box it said "0-160" on it. The gauge in that box came out of a Countach LP400 or very early "S" with 88 KM and a 160MPH SW gauge was installed in the car here in the states. Then the original was put in the "160 box" and put on a shelf and forgoten about for the past 30 odd years. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other than it was a stage III box. Are all of De993's gauges changed or just the speedo? I have run across some of the others in the past.
