Default chassis #1120010 1974 twin turbo countach

Hey all!

I am building a scale model of one of my fav countachs but i can only find a few pics and next to no info

Just wondering if anyone on here can help?

Attached is a pic of the car http://images.google.com.au/imgres?i...3Doff%26sa%3DN

Countach 1974

Chassis #1120010

Has been modded with twin turbos and was sold at auction in AUG 2004 for about 39,000 US$ and last i heard was for sale at heritage classics for 88,500 US$ and i have all the pics from there web site

If anyone has any info or pics of this car it would be greatly appreciated!!

Thanks
Jason

That gallery contains all known pictures, the car was built by Bob Wallace.

Thanks for the quick response!

I did find one other web page with a small amount of info on it but i cant remember it

When it was at auction apperently it was not in good shape, only just making it on to a tow truck under its own power and was in need of restoration hence the $39,000 final bid

I found the other site i was talking about

They discribe the car as "sad and confusing” none the less, i would have it!

i think they are coming directly from the turbo with 2 supertrapp (HD bike aftermarket) silencers, probably made by wallace himself in the 80's to reduce weight and against-pression of the gas
