Default Looking for a wrecked Diablo / Countach

Im new to this forum but i guess this is a good place to find out if theres possible to get my hands on a wrecked diablo or countach?

The reason why i want a wrecked one is simple.
I love rebuilding cars, and a lamborghini project would be

The easiest is to buy a diablo in good condition though, but i really need something to do :P

How hard is it to find parts for the diablo / countach?

Please let me know if there is a wrecked cheap one for sale

There's no such thing as a cheap wrecked one...but, I do have a contact that buys wrecked ones all of the time, perhaps I could put the two of you together? Let me know exactly what you're looking for and price range...

Kaoss

okey, well i am at this point checking what a wrecked diablo costs etc.

My budget isnt endless so i hope its possible to find a diablo for about 20.000-35.000USD. (A countach is also interesting)

The car im looking for can have quite alot of body damage.
It doesnt need a working engine or an engine at all.
The suspension must be okey and also the tracking of the wheels.

(Got to excuse my bad english though, i didnt get the top grade )

Do you have any idea what it will cost to get it running? Probably allot more than the $80K it would cost to just get a cruddy 91 or 92 fully intact. I do understand the desire to do the work yourself though.

just came across a wrecked Murcie...black...pretty bad...110k. The engine is the expensive part...well...yeah...it would cost more to rebuild one than to just buy the one you want....reminds me of the MV Agusta / Progressive insurance advertisement...shows a photo of the bike, with price tags hanging all over it...caption below..."Whatever you do, don't wreck your MV"....

same hods true for the Lambo...I know my drivers door mirror (replaced under warranty THANK GOD)....$1100.00 !!!

Kaoss

The engine isnt a "must have" part. And the body can be quite a mess. Most important is the chassie and the suspension. I cant fix that if its totally crushed. If i can build one for less than 100k its okey.
If the car comes without the lambo engine i doubt it will ever get one
Let me know if any of you guys know the price of a crashed/wrecked one?

Ahh you want to build a kit car....I think you can do it for about $40K? Plenty of info out there to do that.

No no no. I dont replicas hehe.
It must be a real lamborghini but the suspension parts and wheel tracking is not to easy to fix
Other failures like no engine, body damage, making interior etc isnt a problem.
