My New Countach

I just picked her up about 3 hours ago. It is Michael Fuschi's ex 1986 Downdraft QV, chassis #112989. The engine is so smooth and powerful it makes my ex 1981 Countach (which I loved), feel slow by comparison.

I know the feeling - GREAT - my black/champagne was the one off the production line right before yours - GLA 12988 - enjoy and stay safe.

Congrats, best color combo possible for the CT!

Is it the same color white as your old CT, your old one looks a bit brighter but maybe thats due the weather...

Thanks guys, I'll post many more pictures later this week.

Alex, I've seen your car many times on the Lamborghini Registry, I love the color combination.

Diablo4ever, the color on this car is a pearl white, (Perlato Bianco), my other Countach was pure white.

I still can't believe that this particular Countach is now mine. About 4-5 years ago I was at the Concorso Italiano with the Lamborghini Club America and I struck up a conversation with a guy named Ted. Ted at that time worked for Al Burtoni's Milano Imports. I told him my dream Countach was a Euro Spec Downdraft QV, he said that he may know of one for sale and would call me at home the next week. When he called he said that a customer named Michael Fuschi had a pearl white one and may be willing to sell it for $125,000. Unfortunately at the time that was to deep for my pockets and I reluctantly had to pass. Now 4-5 years and three owners later it is sitting in my garage. I spent most of the night sitting in the garage just staring at it from all angles, it's just so damn beautiful.
