I agree. The Countach is my #1 dream car of all time.

"WTF"

Actually its not as far fetched as it may seem. My house has a basement and I thought it was part of the house. But my neighbor told me a story of how the old owner got drunk and wanted a basement so he got the equipment and just dug one out.
I have since found a lot of beer cans in the crawl space from the 70's so the time period matchs.

Lambo is a lame, infantile and demeaning nickname for a Lamborghini.

Holy crap. Could you imagine rolling all that aluminum? That is one hell of a project.

i think i saw this on jalopnik. the guy is pretty awesome despite his lack of forethough (or maybe he thought he would never finish it anyway)

Ever see the Top Gear segment on the Countach?

Should I feel a bit guilty for wishing the article ended in him running it into a telephone pole on his first ride in it? :-X

Holy fuck, I want a basement like that.

Edit: To all you saying the exhaust note sucks.. The fuck it does. That thing sounds badass.

However, it sounds nothing like a real Ferrari engine, so I can understand the complaint.

Agreed... high-revving tuned 8 cylinder with IRTBs... frozen O face while anywhere near the car.

Exhaust note sounds fine, trouble is hearing it over the ford V8

One of the commenters brings up a good point...where does the driver put his feet?

Amazing work though, wish I had the skills to do something like that.

It is beautiful, but the whole time you're doing it, you've got to be haunted by the thought of how you're going to get it out. And, what of any welding fumes?

The guy got the inteligent, skill to take on such a task would have though out the minor details of remove the car from the basement and fumes exhause system for the basement/workshop.

Hat off to the guy for his accomplishment.

They're going to sell it into scrap and "redistribute" it out.

 

[thomsbrain]

Anyone else notice that his basement appears to be CARPETED?

How the hell did his wife not kill him a decade ago?

Imagine this guy in a high stakes poker game:

"I see your two lambos... And i raise you two more."

Literally!!!
