does anyone know anything about this car that is posted for sale on ebay?

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1986-...QQcmdZViewItem

...not sure why the seller says it hasn't started since the gas ran out? ...maybe he should put some gas in it??

there was a thread about the car on this site or Lambo Power. i already had pics of the car saved in my jalpa files from previous posts. the vin should be *12314* i think from the ad. perhaps you can speak with the owner directly by searching the Jalpa threads. i dont want to say anything from memory that may be incorrect. seems the car did need some work according to the owner. there were pics of it in the garage and not outside.

This is the thread that a guy named Randy had shown interest in purchasing.
It looks like the same car just cleaned up. I could be mistaken , but it had those black dyed seats.

I'll drop Randy an email and ask for the vin, what a shame what happened to this car...

Just add gas & go. It's probably being shill bidded. But who knows, with Countach prices going where they are.

I think more that the fuel pump is shot, it gets too hot when running without gas. On my oldtimer I had also to pure gas into the carbs to fire the engine, that almost 50 years old car has a mechanical fuel pump.

This is the same car that I was looking at purchasing through my dads friend. My wife and I found out that we are having a baby, so I really dropped looking to buying this car.

It's in good shape but will not start as is stated in the auction. I talked to the dealer which serviced this car and he thinks that the car should start if you put some gas in the Carbs.

It looks a lot better in the pictures than when I saw it.

Good luck to who ever buys it...I am sure you will be happy.

Randy
