toyroy2003 Report post Posted January 29, 2014 Anyone know anything about this car? 1999 Diablo Roadster, lives in South Cali...being offered by a "Broker" down there. I have had mixed responses as to the fact it has "some" paint work, i.e. front bumper due to road rash...but then have been told by some the entire back section of the car was re-painted..but no explanation as to why. Has clean Carfax and Auto check. I know must all the Diablos out there..but this one has escaped my radar...any info appreciated. Thanks Roy Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlie Report post Posted January 29, 2014 I think that is the first 1999 Roadster I have seen in that color. Is that a factory color in 1999? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
toyroy2003 Report post Posted January 29, 2014 I think that is the first 1999 Roadster I have seen in that color. Is that a factory color in 1999? Yes, it is Factory color as per the original Window sticker. I have also found out that there was a 99 Alpine SV, Car #5 painted in this color as well from the factory. It was first delivered to Nick Cage. It recently was involved in an accident in the Colorado State area. It is being offered for sale at $85K..has rear end body damage on both sides rear fenders and bumper. From the pics I saw, I would guess a $45K plus repair bill.

Chin.Up Report post Posted January 30, 2014 I saw one exactly like that up here in Canada during the summer, black wing and all. I'm thinking if it could be the same one because it is a rare colour. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure that car perished in a garage fire. One less replica may be a positive thing but any fire is never good. The only fortunate thing is no one was hurt.

Kevin2772 Report post Posted January 30, 2014 It was actually the 01 6.0 Kev. I had 3 of them if it is the pearl orange which is what that one looks like. Never seen a U.S. 99 in that color though. Ugh! Great call Bill, that was an amatuer mistake! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rhyno Report post Posted January 30, 2014 Yes the orange roadster that is in BC is a replica. I ran into him at a gas station in Kelowna a few years back. The replica is done pretty good and the owner plays off that it is real lol Roy, I did hear that the orange real roadster changed hands recently! I can't help you with the paint work question but that would be a very collectable roadster if you get it!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't help you with the paint work question but that would be a very collectable roadster if you get it!! Yes..it changed hands...now in mine...should be to my shop by this weekend. Lots of research and thanks to Lambo Newport Beach for their great PPI and history they knew on the car. They sold it and delivered it to the owner I bought it from back in 2003. So they had all the history and knowledge of the car. As far as paint and accident's. No accidents. The front bumper was recently resprayed due to standard road rash/rock chips... as well as the rear bumper area under the exhaust that had dis-colored from heat from the exhaust (have had this on several Diablos in the past) so it as well was recently re-sprayed at an authorized location with OEM product. Excited to see it get here.. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The replica Ah yes, now I remember rhyno mentioning that the orange one is a replica in another thread. That's a shame, I saw driving past me on the other side of the road and I could of swore it had all the right proportions to be a real one. I saw it up here in Edmonton, Alberta this summer.

rhyno Report post Posted January 31, 2014 Congrats Roy! Is this one a keeper? Did VCR buy it from you already lol The replica is a NAERC kit. The molds where pulled off real Diablos so the proportions are exact. There was a guy in Vancouver making good kits for awhile, I think his name was Ron Dolling.

Look on the bright side, at least we are within reasonable driving distance from you so you are more than welcome to visit and check out the cars; instead of way up north where snowmobile is the proper mode of transportation this time of the year.
