>arguably one of the most insane and wonderful Lamborghinis, and thereby one of the best Lamborghinis, ever
>shitbox

Also
>man builds his dream car from scratch in his garage
Any "car guy" who doesn't revere him for this is either not a car guy or an ignorant twat.

>boomer
>likes lambos
>builds his own from scratch over the span of almost two DECADES
>sells it

the memes write themselves

Wtf he actually sold it? Fucking why?

thats impressive actually. most people would not sell it at all

>spend 17 years to build a shitbox with a ford engine
>tries to sell it
>the last bid is under reserve price
this guy is a fucking joke

>Car Build Cost = $65,000 US Dollars
>Car Sold = $89,000 US Dollars
what a fucking retarded boomer

How do you build a car from scratch like that? Did he pour the liquid steel, mix the liquid plastic and mill the glass all by himself?

And why isn't VAG suing his ass for gross copyright infringement?

Impressive but I can't fathom why someone would work 17 years on a project and then just sell it, especially considering he definitetly didnt get the going rate of a real countach for it or probably even recoup the costs

it also turns out slightly lighter and with more HP than an LP5000
only weird thing is the diablo styled wheels
>pantera with a body kit

he liked building it more than taking care of it
but yea I don't get it aether

to be fair the interior is not really up to standard
also muh v12

>countach
>VAG
>what is panel beating and molding

you can't create stupid on that mans level; he built the biggest piece of shit on earth it's his junker; he'll keep pouring cash into it.

cept he sold it lol

Damn I want to know how he got it registered

when you were a kid, did you ever buy a model car or airplane?

Did you enjoy putting it together? Did you know anybody that would then want to buy it?

It was a giant model life size model for him.

No, actually
Suppose i just dont understand, maybe i should do something similar

Lamborghini is owned by Volkswagen idiot

It was about the journey, not the destination for him. I don't think he built it because of his love of the countach, but more like he liked the countach and loves building shit.

wasn't this story on here a year or two ago?

>tfw no shed to build my own shedmobile in
Bad feels

>building it in your basement like a fucking retard so you have to dig out a shit load of dirt and cut a huge chunk of your foundation out compromising the integrity of your house.
you have to be an amerimongrel to be this retarded.

Imagine that your taste is so bad that you spend 17 years building an ugly ricer. Imagine the dumbass that pays $90k to buy it off of you.

imagine having to fuck up your house just to get it out because you were too stupid to do it in a garage.

also, counting for inflation i'm pretty sure he lost money since he did this over 17 years.

dude's an artist, sad that that car led to his divorce supposedly

His ex-wife sounds like a cunt

His wife left him and he claims he has bad memories associated with it because of that

I once spent 6 months semi rebuilding my shitbox on my mums lawn

Dumbest post of the day award

>dude's an artist, sad that that car led to his divorce supposedly

It's almost like women have a huge problem with men who have something that is REALLY important to them and it isn't the woman

it's sad to me when people have so much ingenuity, but so little imagination.

$65000 over 17 years is around $3800 annually.
If he had put $3800 into an S&P500 index fund every year for 17 years, he'd have
$169,476
now.

How?

He didn't make it from scratch. He just assembled one together.

>buying parts from IKEA

>He didn't make it from scratch.
But he did, you dip?
It's in the first fucking couple seconds of the video.

He did not build it from scratch. He used Lamborghini parts.

...

He used mostly premade parts, especially the engine

he but then he wouldn't have the joy of digging up his front lawn and fucking up his foundation.

>goto DMV
>have it inspected
>they stamp number onto frame
>pay registration

why doesnt shelby sue every cobra kit car owner

The design isn't copyrighted. Not like Shelby did the body anyway.

>His wife left him

Starting work on a Lambo tomorrow!

because he finished his dream

Guess he enjoys building more than driving.

This sounds incredibly rewarding
Probably could've taken a few yrs off of the overall project so he could enjoy it sooner but oh well.

>garage
He built it in his basement. Also, how the fuck does it take so long to build a shitty ripoff? Anyone who reveres this retard is subhuman filth.

I think he did an amazing job on it. He probably didn't think he'd ever complete it when he first started, then boom, two decades later there it is.

It's too bad he sold it, but how many people can get $90k back on their hobbies? Most people sink more than that into dumb shit that they do over the course of 20 years and never get any of it back.

im on my way OP.

What are you making? Looks like some kind of race prototype

It's a shitbox I want so badly imma spend 17 years building it from scratch
