The Most Un-Loved Countach! Factory Fuel-Injected 5000S

[@Gregsheppo66]

I love John’s Lamborghini & AMG stories. I doubt his knowledge can be equaled.

[@ianwright7652]

The knowledge you have on Lambo’s is legendary and your Dad should be so proud of you , I am surprised the factory hasn’t invited you to the factory for a in depth interview

[@SvilenTrifonov]

I know originality is important to get the best $$$, but please...PLEASE...do not put the US bumpers back on. Car looks amazing as it is! Even the chrome wheels look good.

[@adamsyoutube]

Agreed the US bumpers are terrible, but so are theose non-factory chromed alloys

[@Trelovr6]

83-84 5000s with the flat engine cover and euro bumpers has always been to me the best looking countach ever made. Keep your qv and Ann cars for me that is still the goal some day. Glad to see them getting some love and appreciation finally.

[@WeAreCurated]

That and the low bodies look so good!

I could listen to John talk about these cars for hours. So great to learn about the history of these Italian Bulls!

[@WeAreCurated]

Thank you for tuning in!!

[@vettebecker1]

My all time favorite exotic!! I was the kid with multiple posters in my bedroom of the 80’s of this car!

[@Canadian_Gamer]

Maybe an unpopular opinion but the 25th Anniversary Countach is my favourite, thats the poster i had on the wall, red with tan interior (although black or white exterior would be fine too). 😂

[@Luke-yh6nm]

The problem is, most 25th Anniversary cars weren't ordered with the rear wing by 1st owners.

[@Lettuce-and-Tomatoes]

So, is it pronounced “Countosh” or “Coun-tach” with the second half pronounced more like “watch” with a “t” instead of the “w” as Valentino Balboni says it? Cool channel! Subscribed!!!

[@beavercleaver6294]

Fantastic. I loving watching Curated and learning things about Lamborghini's history. Great job on this one.

[@rossdinius3303]

John plz talk your pops into coming and doing a video with you. Love all your videos it makes my day every time I see a new curated video

[@WeAreCurated]

Hopefully one day!!

[@johnnysmile01]

For me it's the best Countach ever 5000S with injection system ...what an Icon still have a poster from the 80s a white on white Countach 5000S with white wheels 😍😍😍 my dream car

[@marvinheemeyer6660]

For those who want to or own a Countach do so for the passion of what it is. Not for horsepower numbers and presumed status. There can be no other car to stir ones primordial desire like a Countach.

[@tonitoivanen2315]

It's always fantastic to watch John talk about Lamborghinis...you can tell he loves these cars ❤

[@luisquezada7394]

The Countach is still so Sexy, can’t imagine what it must of felt like to own one back in the 80’s

[@robwaz1547]

Your dad got it so right, what a great super car. Looking forward to your team restoration. Definitely made to drive daily, the sound would be a smile on your face for sure

[@lamborghiniregistry]

Wow John! You are a fountain of knowledge. The variants of variants of variants. I can’t keep up. Even I have so much to learn about these cars that I’ve never really delved into before. I love it.

[@WeAreCurated]

Thank you for all of the support!!

[@PitSmok]

Another great episode, when John talk we listen👍amazing story. Car looks period correct as well as it is. Without the US bumpers and with those wheels, I'm loving it👍

[@toddoconnor840]

John, your a book of knowledge on these beautiful cars , I really enjoy listening to you , thank you

[@WeAreCurated]

I appreciate that!

[@Luke-yh6nm]

The Curated presenter here is a car man through & through, but also because of what I see on his wrist. Swiss Chronographs & important exotic cars shall forever be linked.

[@jakkovaningen8350]

Great story and of course a super cool car!

[@runechristiansen7372]

Listen to the stories of these cars is brilliant 👌

[@gerryjamesedwards1227]

It's all personal taste, but I'd like to see a car like that driven hard, serviced lovingly and enjoyed until such time as restoring it becomes a necessity.

[@EnriqueMatheus-z2f]

Yeah bro I think we can all agree the enhancements are better than the original all the upgrades are how it should’ve came from stock

[@WeAreCurated]

Most people would agree with you, but also important to consider originality and rarity!

[@pezzonovante888]

I love these old TV car review intros.

[@jm8080ful]

You are truly the encyclopedia of Lamborghini history!

[@WeAreCurated]

Doing my best to share!

[@andyfranklunamorales2511]

I'm excited to see how this relic will turn out.

[@StuartBarton-fr7qb]

The photograph of the woman with the black hair in the red 1984 Countach smiling is my mother Angela Barton…she passed away in 2016. She bought the car new in December 1983. I’m so happy to see this as she would’ve loved seeing herself in a video of the car. The fuel injection actually works very well. It’s the same that was used in a Mercedes 280SE…That’s what the 1984 magazine documentation says, anyway. The photograph was taken for an interview my mom did with Car & Driver when they made a video on super cars. I have all the documentation on the car and the magazine that profiled it and Lamborghini USA …I still own the car and it’s in the garage. 😊 - should PM you guys.

[@WeAreCurated]

Thank you for sharing Stuart! What an amazing story 🤩 feel free to shoot me an email and I'll put you in touch directly with John! Sergio @wearecurated.com

[@gordontarpley]

The first time I sat in. Countach was around 1988 or so at Prestige Imports in Miami. The car was supposedly the first 5000qv imported to the US but the engine lid was still 5000s style. It was badged 5000qv. Do you know if this would have been one of those modded cars? I have photos of it someplace but haven't seen them in 30 years. Thanks for this vid btw, very informative and answered a few questions I've had for years.

[@KingChadKennedy]

So it has 70k thousand km's which means it's the most reliable definitely more reliable than the ones with almost no miles

[@LTV_inc]

You’re a historian John. Thank you! 😊

[@porscheguy09]

I’d love to see an in depth look at the Lamborghini Jalpa. There’s not any good quality videos on Lamborghini’s forgotten and in many cases unknown V8 sports car.

[@ransomgarage]

John , just like Stans! Great video.

[@jerryhawk8434]

That's my dream car. I have posters of them from the 80s

[@leonardoastegiano4267]

Hi John, great video as always ! I usually ask myself, do you have any knowledge or insights of the Joan Fercí deal with Lamborghini Mexico, or the models he tried to make ? That would be interesting! Greetings from Argentina

[@warrenmiller111]

Nice vids man

[@2Bunphettered788]

Curated = encyclopedia 💡👍🏾

[@VF1Skullangel]

My neighbor in Colorado Springs had a 85 Countach. He basically gave me the run down like this video. His example was a 12k mile car. very rare.

[@WeAreCurated]

That's a good neighbor!

[@evanward1308]

[@matthewelliott2213]

When deciding worthiness of restoration, I really believe that automotive history this important and beautiful supercedes fuel injection or bumpers.

[@SharpblueCreative]

The bumper delete needs to stay. They were not designed like that and they ruin how it looks.

[@Vertigo11]

Another great video!

[@WeAreCurated]

That's awesome!

[@clifbradley]

That window tint is what had me going 'Is that why it's unloved?' Lol. I've sat in a Countach in Florida in the summer when I was a deckhand on a yacht and the owner had one. He wanted us to drive him from the parkimg lot to the yacht and then we had to drive in reverse the whole way back down the dock to the parking yacht. We weren't allowed to sit on the side like everyone else did and sometimes he woukd make us wait in tne car for like 20-30 minutes while he was getting a drink or talking to someone and the AC sucked. I drive it twice and hated it. His car was fuel injected and it was reliable. His Porsche was way better and his F50 was the best. Now he lives in Curacao and drives a beat up Land Rover.

[@WeAreCurated]

Holy cow!! What a story 😲

[@ericcindycrowder7482]

You all do remember, this is exactly what Tom Cruise’s character did in the movie Rain Man! Important gray market Countach and convert to fuel injection, I assume Bosch CIS k-jet

[@ThePalmEvent]

They had one of these in Miami Vice. Was always fun to watch them cut to different scenes…..one was a white downdraft, the other was a white US 5000S. Used to drive my OCD nuts knowing that they were different cars 😂 m.kzbin.info/www/bejne/gpavZWulhc2GsJY

[@WeAreCurated]

Hahaha that's Hollywood!

[@dirkhge2169]

What a terrible thought to see the incredibly ugly US bumpers on this beautiful vehicle again...How can you even think about that!?

[@carlstanland5333]

There was a company here in Wilmington NC called L&L International back in the 80’s that did imports for Lamborghini. I was about 12 at the time and saw my first Jalpa there.

[@WeAreCurated]

Love the Jalpa!

Best Countach is the original Gandini design. No spoilers. Very pure design.

[@WeAreCurated]

gorgeous car!

[@jasonmaiden5026]

I actually don't mind the bumpers on these, especially the early ones with the cutouts in the lid. The big black toasters are awful though, lol

[@Shidoshi578]

Leave the patina on it, its tells the story of a well driven beauty.

[@jeoboden]

[@fenstrat11]

Why not just leave it as is?

[@ImARealHumanPerson]

Because that's not nearly as fun.

[@williamlevy1981]

Yeah, I feel changing the bumpers would be pointless. It looks great as is. The wheels could probably use more polishing. Other than that, it's good i.m.o.

[@kw0017]

There's an ex California LHD 1985 5000S injection (body colour factory US bumpers front and rear still fitted) red over tan with wing in New Zealand. Is regular driven and showed

I might be a total idiot right now, but that wing at the front of that car looks totally out of place!

[@casualobserver77]

Dude it's ESPECIALLY Not EXPESCIALLY. For someone so cultured I can't believe you say that in EVERY video.... ESpecially!

[@1018hooligan]

The wing isn’t original either so you’ll have to find one that is if you are doing a full restoration.

[@JRacerActual]

I would drive the hell out of it before restoring. That's just me.
