A friend just picked up the car I used to dream about in high school.. Going to see it sunday. Will snap some more pics then.

 

That was the car that started the entire car fascination for me. That exact car was a poster on my wall from the time I was 8 years old.

 

I used to love that one too, along with the 308, 930..... So do you think our generation will have an affliction with late 80's and 90's exotics, much like the baby bomer generation?

 

White on white Countach! Awesome!!!!!! CONGRATS!

 

Wow, that's just beautiful! The Countach was definately the car that got me started...

 

That is a wickedly nice ride.

 

Wow, that really is the car that started it all-

 

very nice!!!

 

is this a downdraft countach ?

 

What exactly is a "downdraft" Countach??? They seem to be more rare/expensive than "normal" Countachs, but I'm unclear as to what the difference is.

 

carbs straight up and down, not horizontal

 

yes, it is a downdraught, the Quattrovalve cars from 85 1/2 and on come either Fuel Injected (USA cars) or Carburated (Euro Spec) there are rumor only 12-20 cars made it in the USA. the horsepower was about 50hp more.

thanks for the nice comments, it was my dream car in high school that became a reality

 

Axis, you sure you can handle a white car?

 

i am not painting it yellow. i think the color white looks proper on a Countach.

 

nice car! are you the owner of Murci that ran top speed run in this month's R/T article?
