[@desmondorr3837]

still after all these years the most beautiful and ageless car on the road.Thank you for rescuing her and sharing that story

[@blainekelley816]

i love the sound. From the second he started it up until the scream at acceleration and the cackle = fantastic!

[@Brock_Landers]

The Lamborghini Countach will ALWAYS be my absolute favorite car ever built. It's a complete work of art from tailights to the nose. This group of men did an AMAZING restoration of an icon and it definitely shows. GREAT JOB! Bellissimo!

[@vintageman91]

+Robert Keeton Its indeed a very fine car. The sharp edges, big vents etc makes the look of the countach so aggressive. Its an impractical car to have but , hey its a real supercar and they are not ment to be practical. 70s and 80s supercars was absolutly beautiful.

[@oz_media]

+Robert Keeton I LOVED the classic white on white with full spoilers circa 1987. It seems that everyone had Farrah Fawcett in a pink thong (that most famous poster) pinned up next to classic white on white Countach picture.

[@sjcea0512]

Amen brother !!!!

[@ev9466]

Top three mystic experiences 3. [censored] 2. UFO landing 1. be a kid in the 70s on an ordinary road and see a countach zipping by

[@ksam96trini]

I have the most respect for the guys who restored this Countach.

[@yamahaxs6501]

It's his car, he can do whatever he wants. It looks like he did it all himself, in his own garage, with his hands and his wits. That is impressive. I'm guessing that most of the negative comments come from people who couldn't restore a dining room chair, let alone an extrememly complex car. I love it.

[@supershifter4836]

yamahaxs6501 nice roast

[@jeremyelectronic8613]

'people who couldn't restore a dining room chair' LOL, I am stealing that one

[@pacrat90]

"couldn't restore a dining room chair" 😂 brilliantly put!

[@aspire2821]

what is there not to like?

[@70Kenny]

This restorer is a particularly skilled man with the courage to tackle a restoration project few are qualified to undertake! He plays in the big leagues, so to speak, of auto restoration. I'm trying to become knowledgeable enough to restore something SIMPLE, like a Dodge Pickup.

[@mehatestaxes]

+70Kenny Well said !

[@Bulletguy07]

+70Kenny Not to mention a fat wallet too!

[@goofyleo3869]

+70Kenny If this guy can restore this beautiful Lambo in his garage, then I certainly should be able to do the same with my humble Fiat X1/9 and Porsche 914! :)

[@gregm2406]

+70Kenny What year goatwagon Kenny? If it has a V8 318 or 360, (or even a 440) find someone to boil out the intake manifold.

[@jefflee1189]

+70Kenny you think it takes more skill to restore a pos ghini than it does to restore a pick-up truck? youre mistaken :)

[@emiliendre]

Wouhaou! Mécanicien de formation et ayant vécu un peu à la Réunion je mesure les difficultés que vous avez surmonté pour cette restauration ! Grand respect pour ce boulot de dingue !

[@MiguelRodriguez-nt5eq]

The scenery and bends and turns is exactly where this car should be Absolute CLASSIC!!

[@sanabil3884]

I have no words to describe this beauty. Respect to the owner who restored this timeless piece of art. Kudos to you!

[@Powertuber1000]

The sound of this engine is the most beautiful music.

[@MrCardboard00]

If I owned this car, I'd have that as my ringtone :)

[@VoxRox1]

The sound of a Countach gives me wood.

[@angurisloud]

Amazing, thank you for the video... only a handful of people in this world are capable of achieving this... no easy task. The value of these cars has SKYROCKETED in the last few years and today, if you can find a damaged Countach for "cheap" and rebuild it the value could be achieved, but sadly many supercars simply can't be brought back from the edge.... I've heard stories from clients about Ferrari rebuilds that cost more than the car was worth - not sure I'd try it with many other cars, but the Countach is now selling for $350,000 to $450,000 (crazy), so if you could find one for less than $100,000 it might make sense.

[@mrwhite421]

Give this man an Award! Tks sir, there still people with a heart

[@yandman26]

I applaud you , this is a huge task to complete and it is a thing of beauty .

[@ericfisher1203]

Dude, total respect for this restoration. Congratulations and enjoy that car

[@tds397]

Wow HUGE Respect for this dude for resurrecting such an automotive legend as this Countach.

[@bobproxmire3637]

There is no small amount of craftsmanship that was used to create and then restore this beautiful automobile, Thank you so much for sharing your love and labor.

[@ramenbo]

i respect anyone who can do this kind of restoration at home.

[@DanielTakeover24]

Now THIS is a Lamborghini!

[@h4z4rd42]

Beautiful job! Thank you for sharing. And that sound... still my dream car.

[@TheLobstersoup]

Crazy amount of work, but you (and your friends I guess) pulled it off! I used to have one of those on a poster in my room as a teen. I thought then that it is a huge car (like my parents sedan). Much, much later I saw an actual Countach on the highway and was surprised at how tiny they are. ButI think this is the coolest Lambo ever made, it has a truly great design and balance. Timeless. I'm not sure any of the newer models will hold up that well (visually) in let's say 25 years from now. Unbelievable car, great job restoring and saving it!

[@JonathanVaucher]

Beautiful ! Thank your for putting one of these legends back on the road. Just gorgeous !

[@hector69ize]

This is the reason "WHY" it makes it worthwhile to have a project in mind and actually have the balls to "DO IT" from the ground up. The process is painstakingly slow but if you have the will, the time and resources to undertake such a time consuming restoration, the rewards are immense as this video clearly demonstrates. The once a piece of admiration then turned almost scrap and then back to glorious life on the road again is truly remarkable work. This lovely and dreamy Countach was yanked back from sure death.

[@poppycock6572]

Man... what an absolute labor of love!!! Only the most talented hands were laid upon this iconic beauty. Very well done. Just amazing 👏.

[@cirocarnevale72]

mamma mia , mi hai fatto godere con questo rombo, spettacolare, ingambissimo, superlavoro

[@stocklausen]

Holy crap!! Especially because of the end of the video, it is in my favourites!! Incredible how awsome this car looks in orange, from my childhood on, a Countach had to be red, like in the Cannonball movies, where it appeared twice in that marvellous color. Now the more important thing: My huge respect to the french Monsieur, who dared to take on this restoration project. Even with some help and some personal capacities in restoration of cars, this must have cost a fortune. I "so to say" restored an old Opel Astra F GSI with new engine and it cost me around 10 grand in € - I'm a student at university, so money is not that big! Huge and profound respect, the engine sounds so good and round turning, after what it looked like in the beginning a huge effort to get it done! WOW!!

[@Tommyblueeyes]

the third cannonball movie "speedzone" the countach was a replica..The 1st was a 1979 400s the second a 1984 5000s and yep u are correct she was monza red...desguised at the beginning in whitewash

[@SpecialKLSX]

You won't hear that cackle in modern cars. That's for sure.

[@bastibang100]

Great effort, magnificent result and heavenly roads. Cant tell you how jealous i am. This is truly one of the most moving countach videos i've ever seen!

[@ASG16_4]

Makes me really happy to see this :D

[@negasonicmiddle-agedwarhea8347]

I bet I have watched this vid 50 times. I have always wanted to take on this same project but never had the $. Absolutely stunning job guys, I love the orange. She turned out beautifully. That's the one car that always had the ability to put a spell on anyone who saw it. Once you see one your spellbound for life. Magnificent.

[@hugobado2219]

To those haters who posted negative comments....this guy brought to new life a dream car.Try to restore to original the simpliest object, then you think of a Countach ....Hats off from Uruguay

[@texasghostrider9486]

I loved these cars as a kid, glad you brought this one back to life.

[@Wolfdings]

This is simply awesome! Great result after a lot of sweat and swears. Thanks also for the thorought aftermath - I was really enjoying that! I'm glad that this beauty went to the right hands and sees the beautiful streets and scenery, where it was meant for.

[@wazzupezze]

THIS IS A MAGIC CAR Thank you very much for bringing it alive again. Such a beauty, especially in that colour.

[@pujiatisalim5359]

Carnography at its best from a timeless classic.... Fantastic restoration....Reminds me when i clocked an identical countach in black [5000s] on a "B" plate back in 1986 when i was 15 in rainham "Essex" parked in driveway, I knocked on his door and asked him if i could take some picks, He was kind enough to park the car on the street for me to snap away......Should have asked him to take me for a spin, he might have done?...GUTTED.

[@bumpkidd13]

I blame Cannonball Run for my love for these cars!!! ;)

[@Welloiledcog]

bumpkidd13 "...and it's got two great looking chicks in it!"

[@etilhcir4645]

bumpkidd13 cannonball run for giving it exposure , the car speaks for itself.

[@AlanAttack]

It's still to this day...the most awesome automobile ever created...just absolutely stunning.

[@MediaEinstein]

Nothing in the world sounds like that 12. What an undertaking it must've been bringing this old girl back to life. I can't believe someone let her rot like that. Now you've got two reliable vehicles in the garage. The Porsche and now the 5000s. I don't know if I'm more envious of the car or the CNC mill station. Amazing work.

[@BrentRanger]

Beautiful! After 25 years, this is still my dream car. Well done.

[@PrimalurgesMiami]

What an undertaking. I've never seen a Countach in that bad a shape. Classic style. Very determined owner.

[@seanbailey8507]

Bruh... OMG... That is one of the most beautiful Lambos ever.. That orange paint is "soooo wet", one look at that thing and you'll instantly drown... Damn.. Well done bruh... Well done..

[@MrShadyfish]

Gorgeous! I hope you built a better driveway for it :)

[@belgreenhills]

Ended with a smile on my face. Great camera work - even better on restoration. Good job!

[@CBKillas]

There is no shame. All a matter of opinion. Badass car, badass techs, badass video. So pretty much, all badass. I would LOVE to put a basket case in my garage for such a turn out. DAMN FINE job gents ;).

[@kevinbryant6459]

CBKillas exactly!!

[@BerniPeople]

WOW, the Countach is the Best Lambo in History, my absolute Favourite. A Dream on 4 Wheels... the Sound and the Body incredible🕺🏻🕺🏻🕺🏻

[@atomicninja1]

Great video guys,really well done. That's an awesome looking Countach. Saved from the scrap heap almost. Bravo!

[@GoldenShaolinNutz]

BRAVO! N1. Ty for the time to put up the vid. well worth it. Fabulous job Bossman!....

[@amrazn57]

Incredible! Thank you for bringing another Italian beauty back to life!

[@Shreddah]

Thanks for giving this car the love it deserves. Well done.

[@Reznor_Meeks]

BELLISSIMO !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 10 thumbs up fella, you just kept another example alive so the next generation can see what we grow up with in our wall posters!

[@ArcadeDude44]

Wow, an amazing restoration on a truly beautiful classic exotic automobile! Congratulations and thank you for sharing this dream car! Also, I loved the ending, I'm loving that exhaust!:)

[@bicyclist2]

WOW! That engine needed a lot of TLC. I'm so glad to see someone take the time, money and energy to restore this back to its former glory. I can't understand how anyone could let a Countach get to this horrible state. I'm so glad to see that he got rid of the anniversary style rocker panels. This color is a little bit unusual for a later Countach LP5000. Thanks.

[@user-ue9js1tz9v]

This car has an interesting story, it was the property of an african leader.

[@KPKonliner]

Restoring the timeless beauty

[@metsot]

This Countach looks and sounds better than any Lambo today.

[@mcrow5520]

well of course! You are allowed to drive it to the max and down shift! This number was born 15 years before the ABS came out! You REALLY need a good driver beyond it.... ready not to chicken out when it happen and with a quick reflex to turn the front wheels when the back of this BULL spins on a side. Pushing the brake pedal will be to late and ready for the worse..... Off road or against a wall OUCH! THE MURCIELAGO AND DIABLO AND THE NEWER ONES the car does for you all amateur drivers.

[@barryphillips7327]

That is because a proper Lamborghini build by mad Italians not German Audi.

[@ENG13INELT]

Beautifully done restoration! Thanks for sharing such an amazing car.

[@jaywstewart.776]

fantastic video... respect to the person who brought that lamborghini back to life.

[@mosesberkowitz3298]

Great Job!! But my favorite is the last 50 seconds LOUD with headphones on.....Wooooooo !

[@JuergenGDB]

Very interesting.. great job he did by himself. The color looks a little orange like Arancio Miura perhaps. Which would make sense since the Countach would succeed that car. Great color, I like the black vents and the wing supports in black and not body color. Really makes the color pop.

[@peter160266]

Respect for doing such a Great restoration job👍🏻👍🏻

[@cesteres]

Supercars of the past. They had personality back then.

[@MrDussek]

What a glorious exhaust sound!!

[@svenschuler1284]

...what a beautiful beast.

The most Epic of engine sounds ever!!!! I was so in Love with this car as a Kid..

Love the sound and the primal, feline nature of seeing it drive up the grass. "Oh that? That's my -other- car"

[@mrphic69]

Quel talent , je suis franchement admiratif , j'avais 16 ans quand elle a été produite,et je révais d'avoir cette voiture , mais aussi la Ferrari daytona, et franchement entre les 2 je ne saurais laquelle choisir , merci pour cette belle vidéo!!

[@Royalbigness]

Yes Bravo Indeed ! Takes a brave man to restore one of these. Beautiful Job !

[@DukaDuke]

Beautiful video, thanks for sharing

[@tempest411]

There's a LOT to be told behind each of the pics shown at the beginning chronicling the work done. Just fixing that broken camshaft bearing cap would be a major piece of work. First you have to procure a new one if not make one from scratch, then trim off a bit from all the rest at the parting line, then CAREFULLY line bore/hone the whole assembly straight again. I live in the S.F. Bay Area, which is a pretty big metro area, and I can't even find a shop to cross-drill a crankshaft here any more. Getting one to take on a job like that would be absolutely hopeless. And then there were the many other tasks in bringing that car back to good condition that would've been as bad or worse perhaps.

[@IvanAkinfiev]

And the guy lives on Reunion Island, French but in the Middle of nowhere (look it up). How can he manage it if you can't? 😏

[@tempest411]

Sometimes in far off places like that the smaller populations learn to be more resourceful out of necessity. Here in megalopolis USA people just bolt stuff together at best. If something fails they throw the whole damn thing away and get a new one (made far, far away) on easy credit. Also, with labor so expensive here, and the average person being such a cheap skate (with a short attention span) the market to have this kind of work done has withered to nothing over the last thirty years or so.

[@kevinbryant6459]

oh my god that car is awesome in this video is awesome loved everything about it nice work cool car an amazing footage of the test drives kick ass

[@hotelgulf]
