hmmmmm.....polished.....I thought maybe so. Was it expensivo? Looks like a LOT of work to me..OR a lot of money. Did you clear coat them afterwards? The newbie is going to take some rather long winded explanation and a few photos. In short, it"s a Countach SV (yep, similar to the black one in Germany) that was a pet project of Bob Wallace"s, 8 years ago. I drove it a few miles before the purchase and it put a new wrinkle on the word acceleration. Scary fast. Bob started with a turbo setup (one of the three that he built) and after THAT didn"t work, he built the guy a special 5 liter motor from an LM002 block. Special cams, rods, pistons, heads, intake manifold, headers, mucho brake work and some suspension tweaking. I won"t have the car in sight again for awhile, it"s going to Bobileffs for some cleanup, so details will have to wait. Now I know what you folks with carbureted Countach"s have been going on about. The VIN is 1121254, second series S, white on white...AGAIN.

Hi David, the wheels are polished. To confess, they are not looking too spiffy at the moment though due to tracking last month at VIR. The car is filthy actually. now what is this about a new project? don"t hold out on us! Dennis
