This Lamborghini Countach Replica was Built Over 17-Years in a Basement and It Could be Yours – TechEBlog

Ken Imhoff first debuted his Lamborghini Countach replica back in 2008, a vehicle that took him 17-years to complete in the basement workshop of his Eagle, Wisconsin home.

Other features include the C4 Corvette suspension / brakes and authentic Lamborghini taillights, parking lights, windshield as well as badges.

In the end, he hired a contractor to tear down a wall of his basement and excavate the surrounding area so a ramp could be fitted.

He had originally decided to sell the vehicle because it reminded him of all that was wrong with his life. A pastor in Wisconsin got a hold of him and said that maybe that’s not what you want to do with this. Maybe this can really be used to reach guy,” said Doug Redford, pastor of Men’s Ministry at Ada Bible Church.
