good on ya for bringing back the famous Tom Hnatiw line: "do you need a car like this? but do you want a car like this?"

[@rowauthority]

Great car. Great experience. Great "Do androids dream of electric sheep" reference.

[@markwilson3971]

I don’t think it was mentioned in here but this is actually a lowbody series 2. So even more special! Only 105 made of the series 2 and 50 of the series one. So rare and beautiful especially in Blu Acapulco! What a car, great video will watch this one again and again!

[@legendarymotorcar]

I guess I probably should have mentioned that eh!

"You couldn't even order a Coffee in this thing!" Yeah, I'm pretty sure that american drive thru culture was very important to Marcello Gandini and a huge factor to take into consideration when desingin supercars in Italy in the early 70's. 😂

*No sane Countach driver would ever have coffee while driving this thing. The car itself is a cappuccino caffeine-machine filled with adrenaline.*

You want to eat and drink sit at a cafe table. You want to experience pure automotive pleasure then just drive IT!!!!

[@andrew671]

I lived in the same building and parked across from this car for over 10 years. I have a bunch of photos of it. I'd chat with the owner often as he was doing his maintenance etc. My balcony was high above the garage doors and the sound of the car bouncing off of the buildings was amazing and unmistakable. I'd run out just to see it every time. It never got old lol

[@legendarymotorcar]

Small world! Love the extra chapter you've added to this car's story, thanks for sharing

[@andrew671]

But If you find some time one day, i'd be more than happy to see them, probably other people too :) Btw there's a Countach register website, where you can find a lot of information and pictures about Countach cars, i guess you could even share your story and the pictures as a part of the history of this particular example :)

[@bobrussell6369]

Absolutely love that blue with the tan interior and gold wheels. What a beauty! Can't get enough of seeing this Lambo. That sound of 12 revving high ! 😍😎😎😎😎 And great history too

[@HerrinSchadenfreude]

It's gorgeous.

[@porscheguy09]

I had 3 posters of a white, black and a red Countach as well as a Testarossa and a red Vector W8 on my wall as a kid. The posters of the black and red Countach were big 5 foot long posters that were on the wall above my bed. Kids don’t have posters like that anymore because they’re spoiled with Instagram and KZbin and can see cars like that whenever they want. The only way I saw exotic cars as a kid was in movies or magazines.

[@legendarymotorcar]

great observation!

[@AbbadonXII]

Periscopio and 400s are the only countach models I like too. Great colour combo

[@krtacct]

Agreed, the countach is so much better with the small bumpers and none of the bolt on body cladding

[@SpookyFow]

That is the most beautiful LP400 I've ever seen. Every aspect of this Lamborghini Countach is pure car perfection.

[@MegaMunnings]

That thing is beautiful 😍 might be the greatest colour combo, the countach will always be my dream car.

[@legendarymotorcar]

I agree!

[@alexmartinez280]

You have a lowbody car, the real Countach. People complain about the high body cars that were redesigned.

[@calvincooley1074]

I'm no Countach expert but this car with its condition and provenance has to be a top five valuable Countach in existance. The content and quality of the videos is ON POINT and really transitions well from the LMC DCG! I'm sure your dad is really proud of you and your team. We need you and other young people like you to keep the hobby in existance. Sharing this with friends now!

Thanks Clavin, stay tuned for more unique videos!

[@francochesmundor5862]

[@maxbmws1000rr]

I’m from Jacques Villeneuve home town and you got your story completely wrong, back in the day , he went to Montréal to buy a Pantera De Tomaso and found a slidly used red Countach that he bought on the spot cash and he famously drove back on highway 40 flat out all the way to his house . He tell the story in a documentary in french

[@I_am_the_big_dipper]

One can really appreciate the utter rawness of the Countach here. Nice to see it brought back to its original delivery colors. The exhaust sound it fantastic, the joy of the drive......sublime.

[@rongrieve9700]

Gary...you have to get those roads in Halton paved to better appreciate the Lambo!! Great job!

[@legendarymotorcar]

No kidding!

[@ZondaF355]

These remind of Vipers of the 90s. Just pure drivers cars and hot rods above all. If driven by capable driver they can be hustled at impressive speeds on the twisties. These cars are much more rewarding than any modern supercars.

[@DMWBN3]

Ah, the sounds of the 80's. Had this car on my wall as I'm a 70's baby.

[@robferg88]

Awesome as always, Gary. Like someone else mentioned, I waited to have the time and space, then I cranked this video and smiled for 10 minutes, and not just at your Earnhardt 'stache. 2 thumbs up. And love the homage to Tom.

[@maricepelletier2107]

Remember seeing the first one ever sold in North America.Around 1976 it sat in Carter GM Burnaby BC showroom on Lougheed highway. It was orange with white interior and Steve Milne of West Vancouver purchased it and drove it down to LA so Road and Track could test it

[@GeorgesMiniatureCars]

A car like nothing else on the road period! I have a 1:24 scale Bburago '88 Countach, made in Italy and it's a pure delight to have. Sure it's not the most detailed model of a Countach but it sure has that WOW factor. Loved this video of a beautiful blue Lamborghini!!!

[@legendarymotorcar]

Iconic at any scale

[@netmanswe]

A big thank you for NOT adding a stupid soundtrack during the drive. I had an eargasm... 🤣

As a general rule of thumb I despise gold wheels but I must say on a dark blue lambo they are beyond stunning. Good luck with the sale guys 👍.

[@MyHumanWreckage]

Apparently a fine winter driver.

[@Johnny-tt8zc]

Love the countach. That is a stunning color.

[@Snarge22]

I love it where the Countach is getting a second look and some well earned driving respect. I remember too many reviews from the 1980's were the editors bitched about the car... ...driving in and around town without the fluids all warmed up. Griped about the very heavy steering, stiff clutch, and poor visibility. It's like they never got it out on the open road. While the very definition of an exotic car, I've come to see it now as a pretty reasonable GT with it's acceptable ride, good fuel range (big gas tank), and a trunk you can pack two extended weekend bags. Not bad at all!

[@tonyperez3250]

Looking forward to the next video

[@timmcphee158]

Farrah and the Countach, yep! Great video, much enjoyed!

[@LucaAversa]

Love your enthusiasm! I'd be just as excited ;-)

[@scottfackert4896]

I really appreciate this review. The unadulterated Countach's are really timeless. I also love the wider tire bigger bore (sans wings and other tacky add ons) versions. The Webber breathing intake certainly sounds like the holy-hound that it is. Very fun seeing the exotic in a pragmatic Canadians able hands and on less than ideal Northern roads, the beast looked happy - Thank you!

Gary, you are such an old soul . I can see your pops years ago and the genuine excitement you show, your car knowledge is awesome. Ok , you have drivin everything, give me either your favorite or top 2 cars you ever drove. Fast, slow, just your personal favorite. It was 1 degree in ill today in US, but you motivated me to take out my 69 l88 corvette, even if some salt on roads. Paint job is incredible on that. I keep laughing while looking up and seeing that stash... lol what do all the guys at the shop think? Inc dad? Great video, keep them coming..cheers Dan ..

[@legendarymotorcar]

Hey thanks for kind words Dan! man top 2 cars change for me all the time but i'd have to say the Zonda R, and the flip top prototype 427 cobra. Love to hear that you took the L88 out, probably made some good power in that weather! PK would probably rather see it go he thinks it's ridiculous... cheers!

[@imbluz]

I agree with him. This is the best Countach model. No Side strakes, no big spoiler. Just the unique beauty of its shape is all you need. It only has about 350 HP which is nowhere the Lambo's of today, but it's certainly fast enough for an afternoon Joy ride.

[@jeffspezzano6428]

Nice peace! I miss the show on American TV!

[@mikeb976]

That front Emblem surround is awesome

[@888mf4]

There is no denying that it looks incredible. Like a supercar should. The blu acapulco paint also looks very special. All that said, I drove a Diablo VT and that wasn't great to drive and the air conditioning didn't work well. In my opinion the Huracan Performante is such a great car looking car but also the first Lamborghini you can use regularly.

I couldn't agree more, without question the best version of the Countach. It's a wonder how the beauty of the car comes through without the wing. As far as the 25th annerversary goes, I really don't know how they could have screwed it up anymore then they did. And yelp had the poster as did your father, class of 79!
