A Lamborghini Countach Was Valued at Only $5,300, but It's Not Real (16 photos)

A bright green Lamborghini Countach is currently up for bidding at Cars&Bids. The current top bid is just $5,300, a price that reflects the coupe's nature. This is a rather unconvincing replica, based on a mid-1980s Pontiac Fiero. Furthermore, the car's condition is far from perfect.





The Pontiac Fiero is often used as a basis for such replicas due to its affordability and mid-engine layout. This Countach features not only new body panels and lighting, but also door mechanisms, which now open like a guillotine. In addition, the "supercar" was equipped with a large rear wing and 15-inch Lamborghini-style wheels.

The stock engine has been replaced by a 3.8-liter supercharged V6 from General Motors. Its output is not specified, but it is known to be mated to a three-speed automatic transmission. The interior features an alternative steering wheel and seats.

The replica's body shows numerous signs of wear, including scratches, chips, and corrosion. The seats are worn, and the windows and instruments are inoperative. The car has over 133,000 kilometers on the odometer. Nevertheless, the owner emphasizes that the coupe runs smoothly and attracts a lot of attention on the road.
