    Yeh, they have aged pretty badly but that's kinda what I like about them and the resto work on the one above is immense.

    Yeh, they are cool bit of a pig to drive tho. A girl I know has a Lambo Diablo SVT(I think it's that it's one of only 20 ever made) it was the last of the Diablo's absolutely class to be in and see but it's a bit of a hard car to drive fast which I suppose is some of the appeal but the V12 sound nothing beats it really.

    Visibility is horrible in the Countach. Interior is blocky and ugly.

    The 6.0 is nice. Definitely the Diablo to have, although I like the pop-up headlights of the earlier models.

    One that isn't a basket case will cost at least $100k. Those old boys are expensive.

    Yeah I had the poster also. I was even car shopping for one several years ago since the stock I had was going up $10K a day sometimes, until the market crash and I watched it go to near zero. lol I couldnt even buy a tire at that point...

    Nice, I dont like the fog lights on the black on and the front wing??? but I wouldn't pass it up if someone wanted to give me one.
    I have considered buying a kit if it was quality enough with a turbo 350 or big block. MUCH easier to work on.

    Thanks JASC

    True the pop up lights are cool on the early ones. And also the sound of the V12's are immense.

    Like all Lambos they are terrible for visability etc and the AC was like an astmatic mouse lol.

    Love that V12. One of my friends has a Diablo with straight pipes. Totally obnoxious.
