eBay Find of the Day: 1987 Lamborghini Countach 5000 QV is a 1,200-mile time warp (Autoblog)
Filed under: Classics, Auctions, Lamborghini
The Lamborghini Countach remains the Kleenex of supercars. Its bombastic wedgy
shape was so overexposed in the 1980s, it’s a wonder it didn’t wind up in
therapy. As the decade wore on, the Countach picked up more and more plastic
surgery, but even so, mid-1980s examples have an unmatched blend of swagger
and silliness. And if you’re going for a car transported straight out of Tony
Montana’s seething dreams, don’t you want to find the best one?
This black beauty offered for auction is a 1987 Lamborghini Countach 5000
Quattrovalvole with just 1,200 miles on the odometer. Countach 5000 QVs
benefitted from the car’s characteristic V12 being bored and stroked to
5.2-liters, along with the addition of four valves per cylinder (hence the
name).
U.S. market cars were unfortunately marred by federal bumpers, which this car
also sports. Swing that scissor door up, and you suddenly forget about the
silly appendages. Besides, the period-perfect gold phone-dial wheels and tan
Connolly leather interior draw your eyes, and a little time with a socket
wrench would net you a sleeker, bumperette-free silhouette, anyway.
