New Lambo in the Northwest

Well Gang,

After 7 months of selling my two vehicles ('02 Maserati Coupe & '83 Jalpa) and looking for a Countach. I finally found one, and BOUGHT IT!!!

Yes, you saw that right! I actually, FINALLY bought a Countach!!!

I ended up locating a 1986 5000 Quattrovalve out of New Haven, CT. The car is Rosso Siviglia w/ Champagne Leather interior. Rear Wing, Silver Wheels, 25th Anniversary Front Bumper, 17K miles. Just had a major service too (which included rebuilding the waterpump, new cap, rotor, plugs and plug wires. Adjusted the valves, new rear springs, etc...

Once I saw this car, I knew it was the one!!! After I committed to buying it, I turned over all the paperwork, registration, title, money, etc. to Roy and Kevin. Let me tell ya', those guys made this transaction to SMOOTH!!!! I had to worry about nothing!!!! MANY, MANY THANKS to Roy and Kevin (Cats Exotics) for putting up with me for the last 7 months!!!

The car will be picked up by enclosed carrier either tomorrow or Thursday and start the journey West. They said it should be here in about 8-9 days. I'm using High End Transportation. Many thanks to Ben Abrams (Northwest Auto Salon) for the recommendation! Rates and shipping times were fantastic!

So, after waiting 7 months for a car, I now have to wait another week or so for it to get here!!! I'm bouncing off the walls in anticipation!!

Again, many thanks to Roy and Kevin for all their help and advice!!!! Once again, Cat's Exotic's comes through!!!!!

Thanks everyone for the kind words!!

I can't wait for it to get here!! I'm bouncing off the walls in anticipation!!!

The car was picked up in New Haven, CT on Monday morning, and started the trek West! ETA is supposed to be either Tuesday or Wednesday of next week.

I've never wanted time to go so fast in my life!!! hahahahaa... We were joking at work today, that I should have had the owner put one of those personal GPS trackers in the glove box, and then I could have tracked the progress as they came across the country!

Stand by for more updates.
