After the sexy smooth curves on a Speedster - the Lambo abrupt angles are an affront to one's visual senses. It is cool in artic white though. What engine is in it? I've seen some 32 valve NorthStar transplants that look right at home.
I always thought of IHOP when I saw that car. 
Just kidding but it sure is flat.
Yeah not my cuppa either. But for some people it's The Thing, and this one looks very well done for what it is.
I asked the guy who sent me pics whether it was a 4 or a 6 and he sent back one word: "turbo."
If someone wants to follow up, DM me and I'll put you in touch.
Get him to list it for FREE on the new kit car magazine - ReinCARnation.
@edsnova Where is it?????
That car (if it is sitting on a 1987/88 base with the Buick Turbo V6), with ARP headbolts/studs and a beefier pair of headgaskets could tolerate 30-40 pounds of boost. THAT would make it seriously quick.
That, plus someone appears to have put a lot of workmanship into it. The few of them we see at Carlisle are all over the place in workmanship, but that one is a stand-out.
I sent this on to Chris - One of his friends really needs this car..... $30K sounds a bit on the low side, and that's good.
I have yet to see any of these kit cars with scissor doors not rattle and leak badly.
Gordon, the car is local to me (Maryland). Put him in touch. I honestly don't know what engine is in it. DM me and I'll give you my guy's email.
That car, or at least the body, was made by Exotic Illusions out of Archbald, PA. You can tell from the indent under the door leading to the brake duct in front of the rear wheel, as well as the rounded trim around the fenders. They sold bodies that bolted directly on to a Fiero, and stretched bodies that were closer to the actual Countach dimensions, but required some frame cutting. If memory serves, the man who ran that outfit was named Demetrius. I believe he shut down the operation sometime around '08-'10.
Why do I know all this? I still wake up in the middle of the night having dreamt I bought a Countach. Sadly, I kept growing after seventh grade, and therefore can never actualize said dream. Doesn't keep me from occasionally shopping around, though.
Because they were sold in both kit and turn key form, quality of those cars are all over the map.
Caveat emptor.
Tom,
You are correct that car is from Demetrius....... He did quality work and produced decent cars . There was a fire at his business that destroyed the facility, his customers were so close knit that a few of them offered to help financially to get Demetrius back up and running. To the best of my knowledge that didn't happen.....in recent years at the Import Nationals at Carlisle I have seen Demetrius walking around .
Is it still for sale?
No idea. PM'd you the contact.
OK so the seller of this car just let me know it's no longer for sale. Thanks for your interest.
