There are very few cars as a kid growing up on Long Island, that impressed me more, than the original 1973 Lamborghini Countach show car that I saw on display @ the New York City Auto Show. Yes, Ferrari had a wonderful display stand full of Daytona’s, GTC/4’s & the all new 1974 365-GTBB Berlinetta Boxer !! But the Countach w/it’s gullwing doors & it’s styling by Bertone… there was no camparison to anything else in the world. Lamborghini’s Miura replacement was the King of Exotica ! Finished in it’s beautiful original Red color combo w/super clean original Tan Leather interior, it has very rare factory Gold Painted 15″ Wheels, factory Air Conditioning, a 5 Speed & it has the optional rear Wing. It has just 22700 KM making it just over 14000 miles driven from new. It has a large portfolio of original paperwork including the original bill of sale from March 20,1985 to Joseph Di Donato from Ridgewood New Jersey for $85,000.from Meadowlands Car Imports. It also has most all of it’s service records & a few rare original booklets & it’s owners manuel. Mr.Di Donato kept the car for over 10 years until Melvin Gershon from Haworth, New Jersey talked him out of it on May 5th, 1995. It has lived in Florida for the last few years & is in fantastic running order & ready to enjoy again. It appears to be undamaged & kept in closed quarters all of it’s 22 year life. It is the most reliable version of the Countach having the 5 liter fuel injected 375 HP motor w/2 valve heads…making it easier to maintain in the long run. It also has the sweetest body work having only the mean fender flares w/out the ugly side skirts added a year later. It is simply a fabulous Italian Muscle Car that we like to sell…ferrocius…reliable & best of all…it’s still under $100K. for more fun than you can imagine ! Grab this one fast…it’ll go quickly !
