Ever wonder what you could build in your basement with a cool set of tools? Ken knew exactly what he wanted to build after seeing the movie, Cannonball Run, and he had the skills to do it. Hence, the decade long project of building a Lamborghini Countach from scratch. Props to Ken’s wife who patiently supported his passion and the neighbors in Wisconsin who never complained about the noise from the TIG welder or the overspray after painting.

You can see the listing here. Good luck bidding!

He’s been trying to sell this privately for a couple of years now, the asking price was around $110k IIRC. All the parts seem right and it might even be well sorted, but it remains a bit unrealistic of him to expect to command a higher price than the market is bearing for a real Countach in good condition. Bidding is now around $75k, reserve not met. That’s about what it’s worth, let’s face it, it’s still a replica and that’s a novelty, not an investment.
