    2) the 6-cyl 3800 Supercharged (from 1995-2008 GM FWD cars),

      they're best as hobby things. that it is a replica just gives it a goal to go towards rather than making a custom car. though still, the benefit is that it can be anything you want it to be on mechanicals etc.
      as a hobby thing the time investment becomes more of a positive, as a learning, doing and timewasting hobby. approaching it as a thing to save money is a fools errand, more so if you pay someone a lot of money to do things.

      I think because he says he doesnt drive it alot, it makes sense to sell it. Especially since Matt Farrah preaches the driving them alot is actually what keeps them running well and saves on the maintenance. So it sounds like it would be better off cashing in now. The only sad thing is the price point its at, probably will still not be driven alot by whoever was willing to pay.

    My former landlord had a number of exotic cars that he had restored, and one of them was a Bizzarini (1960s tube chassis with aluminum body panels and a Chevrolet 327). He was hit by a pickup truck when driving the Bizzarini, and had to do some serious work to get it back to perfect. He later built a Cobra kit car, which came out very nice because of his attention to detail, and this was the car he actually drove and enjoyed.

    My first amateur rally build was a Fiero when I was 16. I still have that car, but it's a few generations of rebuilds later with a manual gearbox Toyota 2GR V6 I planned on using for a Celica FWD build. All new suspension and everything to give a solid mix of grip and comfort for touring. Body mostly original but with a slight different height (I liked it when it was actually raised a bit for rally, so it's basically a wannabe Lancia Stratos in terms of height and tire style). With some common complaints fixed, they're not bad little cars for what they offer for the price. I have two Opel GTs (One all stock, one with a turbo LE5 1.4l I4) that blow both the Fieros I own away in a lot of categories, but all of them are fun to drive.

Over the top styling, poster's on the wall, a great story, the v12, it's the rich baby boomers & genX dream car. $500k today? Can't see why these won't double in five years or less.

      Like, most people aren't going to be able to find a Shelby Cobra or a Ford RS200 even with money. Hell, I'd gladly put an RSi bodykit on my Beetle if I could find one. Would I tell people it's a real RSi? No, I'd be honest, but I'd love the look regardless.

    I don't think I realized until very recently... that It was actually a privilege growing up living next door to a guy who owned not only a yellow, but also a white Countach.
    And not only was my bedroom window right next to where they were parked, but every single morning I would wake up to the loudest noise of him cold starting either his or several other people's Countach's that he worked on as a full time mechanic....out of his garage. That shit drove me crazy hearing those things at 6am on a Saturday morning.
    I will admit, those days when I missed the bus in the morning and ended up nervously walking behind his car with what seemed like...6 foot wide rear tires at the time. To make my way up to his front door and ask if he could give me a ride to school.... were absolutely legendary.
    I was so young and so used to seeing them everyday that I didn't really comprehend how awesome and not-so-normal it was to see 4 of these beautiful beasts all parked out front, much less getting to ride shotgun in a Countach going 90mph in our neighborhood at 6 years old....before he had to tame the wild horses down as we quickly got to that 20mph school zone.😂 Then I'll bet he probably regretted saying yes to those few rides to school after maneuvering that bright yellow Countach through the carpool line. Good times...

    For a kit car Lamborghini it deserves a much better engine than that and then it would be worth it. A nice turbo or pro charged V-8 or even a Flat plane crank V-8 or even a viper V-10. For 20 thousand it would be worth it to give it a much better power plant. I’ve seen one that is a full frame and body kit that has nothing to do with a donor car and you would think the kit car was nicer than the production version. They were the same size as well and looked almost identical. The interior has a much more updated and functional look to it as well.

    Hey Hoovie, years ago back when the Countach was being sold new, Harry Levinson of Harry Levinson's men's clothing in Indianapolis had one. I remember him pulling up and parking it along the windows of the Friday's on the north side of Indy. He got out then walked around the car and opened the door for his wife/girlfriend. She was in a dress and heals, she turned sideways in her seat and put her feet out the door. He then grabbed her hands then pulled her up and out very smoothly, I was impressed. His car looked like a twin to yours, white with a red interior.
