A one-of-a-kind Lamborghini Countach recreation, famous among enthusiasts for its long build story and basement origins, is now on the market in Orlando, Florida. Listed at $107,800, the vehicle represents a hand-fabricated interpretation of a 1982 Countach LP5000S and has accumulated only about 70 miles since completion.
The seller describes the car as a “unicorn,” noting that it took 17 years to construct by hand and has never been registered or titled. Documentation is included for a future owner to pursue registration, though requirements will depend on individual state regulations. The project has circulated in enthusiast circles for years, earning the nickname “Basement Lambo” due to its unusual construction setting and the attention it gained through articles and online videos.
Finished in metallic pewter with a black interior, the car replicates European-spec styling cues from the early Countach era. The body is hand-formed aluminum, and several exterior components are sourced from actual Lamborghini models, including taillights, parking lights, badges, and a genuine windshield. The recreation rides on original-style telephone-dial wheels fitted with Pirelli tires.
Under the rear bodywork sits a Ford Cleveland Boss 351 engine, heavily modified with a stroker kit, forged pistons, roller cam, upgraded valvetrain, and a Hall Pantera Weber manifold. Power feeds through a ZF five-speed transaxle with a 4.10 gear ratio and a lightweight aluminum flywheel. Additional hardware includes 48 IDA downdraft Webers, dual radiators, Wilwood brakes, a Pantera shifter, and hand-built stainless-steel headers connected to racing mufflers.
Built around a tube-frame chassis and weighing an estimated 2,700 pounds, the car mixes exotic design with race-inspired engineering. As a privately offered recreation with no prior registration, it remains a distinctive opportunity for collectors seeking a unique interpretation of one of Lamborghini’s most iconic shapes.
