Too bad he put a Ford motor in it... Great story and build though. :thumbs:

Cool story, thanks for sharing.

That's a good story. Looks like he did a great job with it, too. I wonder. How did he get all his dimensions? That must have been extremely difficult to do without having a Countach to compare it to.

"Open headers in a basement, no matter how ready you are for it, will catch you off guard."

I love that line! :thumbs:

Very cool!!!

Very cool,
However, if you went to all that trouble to make a garage, why not keep it accessible?
Figure the winters have to be brutal on that car.

In case you missed the link, here's the first article that smoked him out of secrecy, along with pictures and additional description of the build process.

Pretty darn cool.

Could have just bought a 1985 Lambo here for about double his stated cost and saved all those hours. It even has a real Lambo engine . I didn't bother to compute the time value of the $40k he said he spent over 10 years either.
