Boasting a mere 1,273 kilometers (~791 miles) on the odometer, this automotive masterpiece comes with a pedigree that includes just one titled owner from its inception.
A Glimpse into History: Documented with the original purchase order, this Countach is a true collector’s dream. Alongside this treasure, the lucky buyer will receive meticulously preserved photocopies, tools, an additional set of unused original keys, and rare components such as the original fuel injection system intake, fuel rails, wiring harness, and a US-spec rear decklid and front bumper.
Provenance and Rarity: As detailed in the original purchase order, Motor Coach Sales of Randallstown, Maryland, delivered this 1988 Countach 5000 QV to its first owner. With a fuel-injected 5.2-liter V-12, this particular model is one of only 66 Bosch K-Jetronic-equipped examples originally dispatched to the United States. Notably, it features the iconic Countach rear wing, a $4,000 option that contributed to the impressive total new price of $138,850.
Unique History and Customization: Uniquely chronicled in its history, the original gold-colored wheels were swapped by the first owner for the currently fitted silver wheels, which had initially adorned another vehicle in the dealership’s inventory.
