Incredible Lamborghini Countach Replica “Basement Lambo” 17 Years in the Making
I am very excited to be able to offer this unicorn of all exotic cars. This is a hand built 1982 Lamborghini Countach LP5000S recreation. This car took 17 years to fabricate (by hand) and is known as the “Basement Lambo” (it was built in the builder’s basement). It is a very well known urban legend in the car industry but in fact, it’s a real car (not an urban legend). There are countless articles, youtube video etc. highlighting this car. It is available today having never been registered or titled. It comes with extensive documentation for the next owner to register and title (be sure to check your states requirements and restrictions).
Color is best described as metallic pewter. Mileage is only approx. 70 miles since being built.
If you’ve ever dreamed about owning a Lamborghini Countach and those dreams seem so far off now with the current pricing, this is truly a great opportunity. Built from aluminum to exact specs, this is a car that you’d be proud to own and add to any exotic collection.
