I was over in Vancouver on the weekend talking to a fellow replica enthusiast(Gary) I met over on MM a couple years ago that has a 5000s. We worked together to get a couple Countach screens off Alan Schrager before he sold his business off to Don Barry.
Gary has decided to sell his Countach off as he has had a change in priorities. I went over and had a close look at everything on the car. He has installed an LS4 and auto trans traverse in the car. The LS4 is a low mileage engine and it purrs.
http://vancouver.craigslist.ca/van/cto/4613959594.htmlCar details:
- Armstrong body and frame
- Built by another builder and not Armstrong himself
- I guess the builder bought a few bodies and frames from Armstrong and built them back in the day
- 17" rims (I think they are Diablo rims but don't quote me)
- New rubber on two and good rubber on the other two
- LS4 and auto trans installed by a rod shop in Vancouver at great expense
- Curved windscreen
- Screen goes right to the sides as per oem with no fiberglass a-pillars as some replicas end up with
- Curved, glass side windows and quarter windows
- Lower side window rolls down the 2" as per oem
- rad is in the front not under the side vents as oem
- Electronic poppers for all doors and lids
- I would change them back to mechanical if it was me buying the car but personal preference
- Doors are very solid and close well with no wobbling like so many replicas
- Interior is white and complete but older
- Could use an interior refresh
- Paint is good all round but there are a few areas where nicks and paint cracks are showing
- The paint was put on in early '90's so some wear and tear expected
- Front windshield is cracked but he has the replacement
- Battery and engine electronics are in the rear trunk
- Engine has a low throaty V8 growl
He is looking to let it go for $38k CDN
He has way more into it than that as per all replicas.....
He is looking for a quick sale so will entertain offers but no low balls will be considered
I can help with getting more pics and more review of the car if needed
I also vouch for Gary as he is a great guy and wouldn't screw anyone around on a deal
I also have more pictures than what is on the Craigslist ad so email me and I can send along.
Thanks
Don
