VT Diablo Lamborghini 1995 Giallo Midas :: DC Motors 4530 E La Palma Ave, Anaheim Hills, CA 92807

nice looking example- was at Concours Motorcar company earlier this year..seller says color is repaint and not factory color--seems like the "Midas" yellow was factory? also, it's not a Variable Valve Timing car as that wasn't till '98 I think...anyway, like it's appearance and they are sending several copies of service records and maintenance....anyone care to share their opinion? 1st post here--I'm 330gt2+2 on Fchat so spend most of my "forum" time over there..thanks in advance! Frank

ps...hey Shamile! Freeze!

 

I do not have first hand knowledge of this car. I have never dealt with this dealer myself, so have no info on that as well.

But, you are correct the VV timing did not come on the 5.7 motor till 1998.

The Pearl Yellow color was NOT available till 2001, however it did appear from the factory on a VERY limited 1999 cars as a test color. There were no 2000 cars to the USA, so it was made available on the 2001 Diablo 6.0VT for the first time as an option.

This color appears to be very close, but I dont think it is OEM PPG Global, as that type of paint is NOT allowed for use in the USA for EPA reasons. There is a PPG Global very very close to this color, but it is a water based paint, same as they now use on the Gallardo line. BUT the OEM product, still used today on the Murcie line IS not available for the US market. That is why when you put a Gallardo and a Murcie next to each other...even that they have the same paint color...they are slightly off. The Murcie cars are still hand painted and are of a higher quilty product and finish.

The wing is also not OEM, but look real close to the OEM GT-R and SV-R wings available on on 30 cars of those year makes..their race cars. I have both. I DO have an extra OEM GT-R wing if you have intrest, in full carbon Fiber.

I my concern would be with the aftermarket wheels. It is pretty well know that this can casue damage to the VT, as a matter of fact Lamborghini strictly advises against this as well as VOIDS any and all warranty on the VT for newer cars equiped with after market wheels.

IMO, I would put a stock set of OEM wheels back on it, 95-99, 2001 6.0 wheels or even the newer Murcie wheels. I have several sets as well.

Best of luck...and have a PPI done by another independent service facility first, prior to purchase.

Anything else I can help with let me know.

thanks Roy..yes, have seen the red one on your site...have a couple of red F cars and looking for something a bit different....seller says on this yellow one that front drive shaft has been removed as the wheel sizes f and r are different 18" and 19" ..does this make any sense? thanks!

Yes, it does. So it is NO LONGER a AWD VT car, it is just a RWD car..Good news isit wont damage the VT now, bad news is the more and more you dig into it...it to me is so modafiyed that the value is going down and you will be missing out on one if the best things about Lamborghini...THE AWD. That is what makes these car so fun to drive and operate in conditions a RWD car would only slip and slide...

Do they still have the front drive shafts//??

They are NOT cheap to replace if they dont.


Well lets go to this GLOSS BLACK Beauty, yours for $115K, your choice wheels and tires on it, or Stock OEM wheels and tires..?

What are they asking for the car...

IMO, with the re-paint, not year period correct, non OEM wing, non OEM wheels, Front drive shafts gone...I would place it at $70-80K, depending on if they had the drive shafts are not..

Paint is the least of my concern, the wing can easily come off and there are plenty of OEM wheels to get to put it back to OEM stock..the big thing is the drive shafts.

well lets go with this RARE Gloss balck Beauty..yours for $115K, your choic the current wheels or the stock OEM wheels...same price..

honestly if they kept original parts the car could be good
BUT if the OEM parts do not come with it.....well the car is overpriced and to put it back to stock you will need a lot of $$ (rims, shafts, tips, etc....)

Roy is right: the wing looks like the GT R wing but it is not the real deal

yes they have the drive shafts....really like the black wheels...just missed the SV in Las Vegas, so I'm all set for 2wd....maybe powdercoat a set of originals black with chrome lip? thanks Roy Frank

shafts come with...not concerned about the wing, as the SV I missed had a similar one..I like the black anyway, also like the rims as well....anything wrong with leaving it 2wd...the SV was 2wd and that's what alot of folks liked...there are threads about converting to 2wd...is that not more desirable?

anyway, they are all overpriced IMO..that's why a lot are still sitting..we'll see what the final number might be....thanks for your input Emilio! Frank

if the car has all the pieces , the VT removal is not an issue at all

some would tell you the car drives better, is more fun and without the awd it stress less clutch and transmission, some would tell the VT is great...and you will lose confidence

VT or no VT is personal taste, i am planning on removing it from my roadster

but to me this car has a lot of mods and some are not really upgrades imo

i have to say the fact it has been repainted in a not original color does not help it to

i have nothing against dealer etc.., but would say it is a 80k$ car if the mecanic is ok

understood..understand it was originally black...lots of info from the Lambo crowd...are you just going to remove the drive shafts? that will not inflict damage of some sort disengaging the VT system? $80k seems reasonable to me...thanks Emilio
