Redlambo Report post Posted July 16, 2014 I remember when this car was for sale at auction and it was ridiculed when it sold for just under $40,000.00 At that time the engine had turbo chargers on it and flares added to make it appear to be a LP400S series. I swore up and down that it was a steal of a deal and would have bought it myself however I was in the process of a major service on my 1984 Counatch. I know many Countach enthusiasts here remember this car. It will be interesting to see what it brings. http://www.goodingco.com/vehicle/1974-lamb...00-periscopica/ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redlambo Report post Posted July 16, 2014 the estimate is low. i think its going to go for over $1,000,000 I believe you might be right as it was the second LP400 produced. Here it is from the 2004 auction site back in the day. http://www.heritageclassics.com/past-inven...tach-lp400.html Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

topcabron Report post Posted July 16, 2014 i believe Jeff Leblond and Wallace worked on this car to convert it to twin turbos. Jeff has a poster of this car in his shop Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redlambo Report post Posted July 16, 2014 After more research I do not believe this is the second LP400 produced as stated in the listing from Heritage Classics. If it is chassis # 1120010 it would be the tenth Countach produced, not that I believe this will change the sale price in any big way as it is a LP400.

Redlambo Report post Posted July 17, 2014 I found some photos of this car from 10 years ago when it was listed with Heritage Classics. I am still not sure on the VIN as Gooding Co has it listed as chassis 1120010 however I seem to think it is chassis 1120004.

Redlambo Report post Posted July 17, 2014 you guys are talking about 2 different cars. The heritage is not the auctioned car If that is the case I apologize for creating the confusion as I really did think it was the old Heritage Classic Countach. Me Bad.

Badvalveseals Report post Posted July 17, 2014 It's all good. Speaking of Twin Turbo Countachs...oh maybe 10 or more years ago their was one for sale in the Du Pont Registry, black on gold wheels maybe silver...if my memory serves me. Anyways it was touted as being faster than liter sport bikes from 0-150. etc. Don't remember any more details as far as builder and parts used....but I figured somebody here might know of or remember this car. Thanks Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
