samuel930 Report post Posted November 10, 2008 Found the image on FChat. Surprised anyone there knew what it was. I think it was in Europe somewhere. Wonder how many other Isleros are rotting away. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

IsleroMan Report post Posted November 12, 2008 There is a reason why they are all unrestored and rotting away..... Dream on, funny man. The last Islero that sold at Monterey brought more than a used G spider. There are no more Isleros rotting away. Those days are long gone.

Emilio I wanted that car, but the problem is finding all of the parts that were removed from the car. If the car is not all but complete, you should not purchase it. The buyer will be upside down financially, if you have to start buying trim pieces and significant parts. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Islero is so much car for the money. A classic handmade lo-production 1960's GT car, with a soul, style, and all the kewl parts.

MANG Report post Posted November 14, 2008 Summary of points on this thread...... Ralph is really on a roll with his 'thinking' lately. Allan likes to get 'under the skin' of the 'vintage' folks, but knew not to cross the line and slag the Countach Islero's are hip and cool and rare and Lamborghini's....but kinda ugly ducklings Emilio spot on as always....
