Default LAMBO in the Basement... =0

Taken from Club Lexus:


Ken is a craftsman... an aluminum worker and TIG welder as well as a great machinist. Years ago, he decided to build a Lamborghini Countach from scratch... almost every part was hand fabricated by Ken.

He built the car in his basement, knowing that one day he would need to extract the car from his house. It was, until last week, a ship in a bottle.

Ken hired a contractor to knock out one of the basement walls, excavate a whole bunch of dirt and form a ramp in order to remove the car form its residential womb.[/I]

Here are the very first photos of the car in progress and the newly freed car.














incredible!

It looks like he went with a V8 for the car instead of the Lamborghini V12.
Fail.

My great uncle has a car in his basement that he made from scratch out of fiberglass on I think an old tbird body. We've always wondered how expensive it would be to get it out.


He was a designer for Ford in the sixties and the car is gorgeous.
