That paint POPS. That has to be one of the best looking Countachs I've ever seen.

good on ya for bringing back the famous Tom Hnatiw line: "do you need a car like this? but do you want a car like this?"

Absolutely love that blue with the tan interior and gold wheels. What a beauty! Can't get enough of seeing this Lambo. That sound of 12 revving high ! 😍😎😎😎😎 And great history too

I don’t think it was mentioned in here but this is actually a lowbody series 2. So even more special! Only 105 made of the series 2 and 50 of the series one. So rare and beautiful especially in Blu Acapulco! What a car, great video will watch this one again and again!

I lived in the same building and parked across from this car for over 10 years. I have a bunch of photos of it. I'd chat with the owner often as he was doing his maintenance etc. My balcony was high above the garage doors and the sound of the car bouncing off of the buildings was amazing and unmistakable. I'd run out just to see it every time. It never got old lol

I'm no Countach expert but this car with its condition and provenance has to be a top five valuable Countach in existance.

I had 3 posters of a white, black and a red Countach as well as a Testarossa and a red Vector W8 on my wall as a kid. The posters of the black and red Countach were big 5 foot long posters that were on the wall above my bed. Kids don’t have posters like that anymore because they’re spoiled with Instagram and KZread and can see cars like that whenever they want. The only way I saw exotic cars as a kid was in movies or magazines.

That is the most beautiful LP400 I've ever seen. Every aspect of this Lamborghini Countach is pure car perfection.

That's absolutely the BEST video about the Countach I've ever seen! Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU! (I'm from 69, and that you said about the 2 posters... that was me, you made those feelings came up again. Thank you friend, great job as it came from heart to heart). That's Francisco, a X1/9 owner (another Gandini/Bertone ;-) from Spain.

I’m from Jacques Villeneuve home town and you got your story completely wrong, back in the day , he went to Montréal to buy a Pantera De Tomaso and found a slidly used red Countach that he bought on the spot cash and he famously drove back on highway 40 flat out all the way to his house . He tell the story in a documentary in french

Growing up in Italy, we also had this poster on the wall :) The first time I see a real Lamborghini was when I went to the US, never in Italy.

Ah, the sounds of the 80's. Had this car on my wall as I'm a 70's baby.

These remind of Vipers of the 90s. Just pure drivers cars and hot rods above all. If driven by capable driver they can be hustled at impressive speeds on the twisties. These cars are much more rewarding than any modern supercars.

Awesome as always, Gary. Like someone else mentioned, I waited to have the time and space, then I cranked this video and smiled for 10 minutes, and not just at your Earnhardt 'stache. 2 thumbs up. And love the homage to Tom.

Always loved the Countach. Still have the ALPINE poster with the black Lamborghini Countach on it. I had it since I was a teenager and I'm 52. Awesome car.

Absolutely perfect

I really appreciate this review. The unadulterated Countach's are really timeless. I also love the wider tire bigger bore (sans wings and other tacky add ons) versions. The Webber breathing intake certainly sounds like the holy-hound that it is. Very fun seeing the exotic in a pragmatic Canadians able hands and on less than ideal Northern roads, the beast looked happy - Thank you!

love it, Its an automotive icon, the blue is beautiful!!!

That blue is perfect!

Farrah and the Countach, yep! Great video, much enjoyed!

Remember seeing the first one ever sold in North America.Around 1976 it sat in Carter GM Burnaby BC showroom on Lougheed highway. It was orange with white interior and Steve Milne of West Vancouver purchased it and drove it down to LA so Road and Track could test it

A car like nothing else on the road period! I have a 1:24 scale Bburago '88 Countach, made in Italy and it's a pure delight to have. Sure it's not the most detailed model of a Countach but it sure has that WOW factor. Loved this video of a beautiful blue Lamborghini!!!

Absolutely beautiful.

That front Emblem surround is awesome

I love it where the Countach is getting a second look and some well earned driving respect. I remember too many reviews from the 1980's were the editors bitched about the car... ...driving in and around town without the fluids all warmed up. Griped about the very heavy steering, stiff clutch, and poor visibility. It's like they never got it out on the open road. While the very definition of an exotic car, I've come to see it now as a pretty reasonable GT with it's acceptable ride, good fuel range (big gas tank), and a trunk you can pack two extended weekend bags. Not bad at all!

Great commentary and that Lamborghini is to die for. 👍

Gary, you hit it right on the head with the 2 posters!! 👍 I’ve always wondered: “If only!!” 😂 (the car, of course) 🤣

There is no denying that it looks incredible. Like a supercar should. The blu acapulco paint also looks very special. All that said, I drove a Diablo VT and that wasn't great to drive and the air conditioning didn't work well. In my opinion the Huracan Performante is such a great car looking car but also the first Lamborghini you can use regularly.

That countach looks good...nice color combo...

As a general rule of thumb I despise gold wheels but I must say on a dark blue lambo they are beyond stunning. Good luck with the sale guys 👍.

Quite a satisfactory test and video.Congratulations wonderful job.

I spent so much of80s looking at pics of the Countach that it comes as a surprise sometimes to see some one actually drive one .. especially one that looks and drives this well

I agree with him. This is the best Countach model. No Side strakes, no big spoiler. Just the unique beauty of its shape is all you need. It only has about 350 HP which is nowhere the Lambo's of today, but it's certainly fast enough for an afternoon Joy ride.

Nothing is better than the 288 Ferrari GTO you guys had upstairs in your showroom but this is damn close.
