If anybody was wondering where I have been lately, Tex and I flew out to LA to visit some fellow forum members. Batbuilder came down, hung out with us and showed us around while we were down. If nobody has met or talked to him he is just as nice in person as he is on the forum. We went to visit Victor (DrMurcielago) in North Hollywood at West Coast Lamborghini and later that day we met with Mike (Murci-me, got to see his amazing car) we all talked each others ear off, learned a TON of new info, it was just a GREAT TIME and pleasure meeting everybody!
There is a buch of pictures I am going to attempt to post up so bear with me..

Wow, I wish I had met up with you guys. Thanks for taking the time to post all the pics. They will definitely help. I assume all pics are of OEM cars?
-
looking great!!
I have to ask though, what is the story with the yellow one?
-
That looks like Murci roadster glass in the one picture. Are these for sale at Victors and did he have both sides?

Nope
That's how good the replica is !!
-
OK, so who's cars are these? Then they are all replicas? Can we get the story? :)
-
last post is misleading. These are in fact OEM.
-
Since when did oem lambos use fiero turn signal stalks
and Mercedes door latches??
Hmmmm?

my god your right!, I had no idea anyone was building at this quality on the west coast. Ill be studying these pictures for awhile. ;)

Um, all Murcielagos use Mercedes door latches. They are *EXACTLY* the same. Same manufacturer and everything. I didn't recognize any Fiero parts.

Freaking sweet! Very nice! ::beers

I did see one fiero turn signal. Im still a little confused,.. but it seems like there a lambo dismantlement company. So im guessing there able to get a ton of oem parts. hence the near oem looking replicas. Strange thing is I have never heard of this company. and wonder where they get all those lambos to dismantle???
-
Is someone suggesting the pictured white car is a replica?
-
The only column stalk I could see is the genuine article , however it is alfa romeo (GTV), the only mystery is why the courtesy light was hanging down ...?
:)

That's not a fiero signal stalk... ::LAMBO2

Are you saying Mike's car is what is pictured?
A g28 + fiero can be pretty nice but it can only be so close when making a lot of parts by hand.
The cars pictured have removable panels, mouldings, oem glass lenses, wipers, firewall position, driver pedals, etc etc etc
-
Yea im just as confused about this whole thing.....
-
Mike's car is not in the photos. These are all real factory Lamborghini's and belong to Victor. I'm glad I got to go.
-
Thanks for the clarification Texas!

Yes fellas I should have put a poll at the top of this asking if they are real or replicas! But as Texas and Tallon have stated these are all original Murcie's, all 5 of them. The 2 that are under the cover were wrecked in the front and all of them were the late LP640 cars. Victor (DrMurcielago) owns West Coast Lamborghini and they claim to be Lamborghini Recyclers and they do a fine job of recycling these cars and either rebuilding them or selling parts to people such as us. I met him about a year and half ago and he never really did much business with replica guys, he said because the hobby is full of scammers, etc. Which we all know already. But he has really been willing to help us with parts or any questions we have. Victor and his family are very nice people and if anybody needs to contact him PM me and I can give you his contact info.
Also I didn't post any pictures of Mikes car since I didn't ask if it was ok to post any up. But rest assured it is as nice as everybody has said, his car will be tough to beat if anybody is trying for better.
Later,
Dustin

Yeah I did think the white one was mikes car , that's how good his Is

Maaaan, post them pics up you're being way too courteous. Oh btw, Jdinner has him beat as far as build quality goes. His is just a Diablo though. & when RT decides to finish his, his will be the best replica to date.
-
Ok Ok Jay honestly I just took like 2 or 3 pictures of his car, I should have taken more... And none of them were of the whole car, only of the back of a few places I was curious about. Give ma a few and I will post them up...
AND I will agree with you. Ive never seen Jdinner's cars in person but i'm sure he has the nicest Diablo ever :drool
-
I think beyond custom in aus has everyone beat as far as murcies but they have a lot more money put into them
Jim's cars are perfect tho
