Can You Daily Drive a Countach Replica
Вставка
- Опубліковано 17 лют 2022
- After this car being on the road 22 years and the 11 years I owned it, we have a good example of how a replica will do. After talking to many owners and builders you can defiantly get a feeling on weather or not a replica is possible to use as a daily driver exotic car.
And as usual the end bits....

Hi again, Todd. This video goes where I have never seen a replica video go. Your insight is 100% accurate and informative and gives inspiration to all of us builders that a composite book of part numbers, pictures, and descriptions of parts is priceless to the next owner should you ever part with your magnificent replica and for yourself also . Thanks just falls short of my appreciation for your insights. (No, I have not been compensated for my kudos.......yet ;-))
lol thanks JC good point on build diary, never though of the vid from that point of view but great point. Would help and I know some do retain all that from there build as taxing as that may be.👍🇨🇦
As always Todd, great information and video production. Really pointed out some of the challenges that replica owners deal with. Thanks for taking the time to product this.
Thanks appreciate it coming from a legend of our hobby!
Another straight-talking, informative video. Nicely done Todd. 👍
Thanks Mav
Great engine,the LT 1 was the last evolution of the small block chevy,and I liked the cam drive water pump and optispark.As well as the internal upgrades made it a fitting farewell.
Thanks for sharing that great video
Amazing work, great post that is highly appreciated! Keep up the good work.
Thanks, will do! I'm not the builder only the caretaker
Car is absolutely awesome love it
thanks and for watching
Spectacular video, very well put
Thanks still learning this video editing thing.
Love your videos!!
Glad you like them!
I wouldn't daily drive this because id be too edgy. Someone got too close id lose it on them. Great video with lots of truth. Unless my commute was less than a mile from my house its not an option.
Thanks 👍
Nice, thanks for sharing.
That's for watch'n
Awesome video thanks
Thanks for watching 👍🇨🇦
love your car
Thanks and for watch'n
You should check my Lambo the TS 140 at my sight, 20 years, 3 Rd motor, second set of tires, second paint job, but my own design work on the body and interior, and better exhaust, yes I drove it a lot. Looking good!
I'll check it out!
Hey, Todd😊 awesome video😊
Glad you liked it!!
💪🏻 its really nice car . Are u ever gona sell it ? if you did what would the price be you think ? Here in sweden the good ones go for like 60-70,000 dollars
It's not for sale but I've had many offer last one was over $100k USD. Thanks for watching 👍🇨🇦
My biggest issue, when driving, I was somebody, and somewhat famous, when I got into my van I was nobody, that can be a big blow to ones ego.😮
Thanks for watch'n
I expect the small manufactura will grow in era electric cars...👍
Agree👍🇨🇦
I would daily drive something like that. Looks groovy, but I would add a tow hitch to it to pull campers and such even if the purists tried to say I ruined the look.
Thanks for watch'n
nice video
Thanks appreciated 👍🇨🇦
If you build on a Porsche Boxster with a back up cam, 100%!
What brand is the kit? Beautiful build!!
KMC Custom Motor Cars, thanks and for watch'n
nice car.
Thanks, and for watch'n
Hello
Loved your video.
Did you sell the countach?
No I was able to keep it. ua-cam.com/video/ASLidrL3rVs/v-deo.html
Would a Countach replica, even with a custom frame like yours, be relatively safe at 100 mile/p/h? Any ideas on which company currently makes a custom frame for a Countach apart from Prova? I previously modified a frame from a fiero for a f-355, but to be honest, it didn't feel that rigid with 3.8 Chevy ( I had a kit for the engine install ) . Drive yes, hard cornering ?
Depends on the frame built this one's nice because Luc that built it was a track guy. ua-cam.com/video/mPkGkkqxCkI/v-deo.htmlsi=c0NsAW_vLZFhH43r
It came at a cost, she is heavy, but some of that is the thick glass KMC used in the body. Thick I weight the car in this vid. ua-cam.com/video/g82I34TPhXI/v-deo.htmlsi=LbfJIHxqxRhKMD38
Nice U.S.A. component replica video. Yet the body and gearbox(Renault 3.0 litre...not at all, G.M. Tornado) Prova/(ultima) Design of U.k😊
Thanks for the info!
Is it a Prova kit? What are your thoughts on prova designs
It's a KMC Kustom motor cars. The old Prova's were good the new company I haven't seen anything products form them and it looks like it's not a true representation but it can be made to be.
Do you know who's kit this is based on? Sorry if I missed it in the video.
Tube chassis
I have a kit car coming soon it's getting built right now from a guy in Oklahoma Lamborghini Aventador svj I'll keep you posted
Cool please do. Check out @youtube.com/@lambobuilder?si=cxIFSbnUWoagigv-

Anyone looking to make their own Lamborghini Countach car I’ve decided to sell mine it was meant for a Fiero stretched donor car but I purchased the ultimate chassis factory five gtm That I planned on modifying to fit the Countach fiberglass body will sell as a package or separate, I have some OEM lambo parts and nice rims as seen in one of my short videos.
I have the blue prints on how to convert the Fierro to fit also the body was never mounted
How much are you asking for it
@@brucecaton8173 for just the plans and body 4k, I have rims steering wheel ac vents, buttons and other oem parts to go with it for extra …..By this weekend I’ll have my gf post on fb market place
Sounds like its time to sell it and avoid all those headaches. 😏 I'd be willing to take it off your hands!
lol think you've said that every video. Thanks for watching...again🇨🇦
Hi Todd, i have a lambo as well in Ontario. How do i get in touch with you ?

How much should I expect to spend on a countach replica?
Market may have peaked a couple months ago. One for sale in Canada for about 50k usd
Hi Todd I'm driving my as a daily driver I got shot down by Hagerty because I took my Corvette off the road in the process of stripping it repaint so no collector car insurance insurance
It's not easy I had to have a broker look for me. I remember him saying he called 24 companies b4 finding one. It may not be Hagerty and may be more than you'd like to pay but it's out there. Thanks for watching 👍🇨🇦
Who build it????
ua-cam.com/video/mPkGkkqxCkI/v-deo.html
I would think with a reliable Corvette engine you could certainly daily drive this
It has one the problem is the bits around it
It's not a corvette engine. It has the intake and injection system, but it looks like an old ls1 engine you have in the old caprice square body police car. (Unless it's a C4 engine)
1993 LT1
Who made the body on your car?
KMC
@@Replicas_Kits_or_Customs it looks perfect, I would have guessed Prova. I don’t think I’ve ever heard of KMC. Your car is beautiful. I just wound up with an IFG 25th Countach. It’s close but not perfect
Most of them have there flaws, my interior and engine certainly are not close reproductions. Working on it. I always liked IFG's 25th and thought is was well done by them. Never saw one but it had many articles in the magazines back in the day. Congrads let's stay in touch.
Think I saw you post it on Facebook
how much does a replica like this cost ...
Depending on how close to the original and how its built from 30k to 100k.
Interested in selling?
No, thanks for watching
Jay Leno did...
Agree Thanks for watch'n
So inspirational!! Get to the top FAST - P-R-O-M-O-S-M !!!
Freak people out, design a roof rack for it and hit up costco for the deals.
Thanks for watch'n
Jesus loves you Romans ch10 verses 9&10
Your kit car looks nice, but is hardly a replica of the real car, at least in the true definition of the word, in that your car is more an inaccurate copy of the original. The drivetrain in the countach is a beautiful integration of the transmission, v12 engine, and rear differential. The tubular space frame chassis was so robust that the test driver rolled it over 100 mph and walked away from it. In a 30 mph barrier crash test, the A-pillar hardly moved! Essentially, your ‘replica’ is a parts car with a myriad of various components assembled together to make copy that resembles he original in appearance, but far from the function and durability, and crashworthiness of the original vehicle. That is why the idea of driving such a vehicle on a daily basis is as much a pipe dream as the thought that kit car is a ‘replica’ of the real thing!
This replica was built in 2002, today this same builders and fabricators of kit cars are now recruited to make parts for the original. With that we are building more and more authentic cars. But its also driving the cost of the cars up. Idea behind this car was to achieve a good replica that can be used and repaired without the burden of an exotic cars supply chain issues or labour rates. For this car the missions accomplished. When I bought it plan was to swap a v12 into it. After 12 years I've learned if it's not broke don't fix it. Enjoy it for what it is.
@@Replicas_Kits_or_Customs respectfully, I appreciate your passion for the countach, but as the definition of replica is an exact copy, clearly your vehicle is not. The myriad of problems you have with mis-fitting door seals, gaps between mating panels, doors that don’t maintain set positions is due to the weak tube chassis and hand laid fiberglass body of your vehicle whereas the original has a tubular space frame designed to meet North American federal motor vehicle standards for barrier crash and side door intrusion that existed at the time of manufacture. Keep in mind that the countach sold for well over 100k in the eighties and the clientele expected a vehicle of high performance and comparable quality. In his video channel, Jay Leno lays claim that his countach was a daily driver for the first 10 years of his television career. The problem is that kit cars simply are not well engineered, if at all, as compared to vehicles which are engineered for mass production. Even my 1995 Corvette Z07 whiched I used as a daily driver for 10 years has none of the problems your vehicle has even though my corvette has an smc body on a steel frame

I hate this ocean replica based Pontiac Fiero
Wrong maybe you should watch b4 you comment.
Dude the way you talk makes me go to sleep. Try to put some life into it next time. Some intonation, some excitement and enthusiasm. You sounded like you were reading the most boring book ever in the world.
Noted!
