this is the well known beater countach from tampa, florida.
Somebody wanted to restore it but gave up.
IME this car can only be used for spare parts, too much work and money for a S2 to make it running again.

Nope, Raymond that car is not from Florida.
I own that car and when I get around to it and going to restore the frame, which cannot be seen here, damaged.
The interior as you can see is trash. No engine or trans, but I have several of those extra.
I am going to custom build this car to my taste.
This is a ways off, as I have 2 other Countach cars plus 2 Jaguar XJ-S V12 Coupe cars, of which only 51 were built, and a 74 Plymouth Duster with a 1000 HP Hemi in it, plus an 88 Chev Pick up, plus a tractor, plus a Toyota wagon, plus a Mitsubishi Spyder. 3 dogs, 1 cat. 4 pieces of property, 3 of which are for sale, so I really don't have the time right not to work on it.

So sad to see that care like that

I guess you have so many toys to keep you busy for a long time

I hope you will be able to do this car up one day

What happened to it? Was it crashed? Or why is it in such a bad shape?
