I hate to let it go but up for sale is my Corey Davis 1999
Lamborghini Diablo Roadster replica. I saw a Corey Davis Roadster that recently
sold on Ebay for $15,500 in similar state of completion and parts PLUS they
wanted an additional $3,500 for extra Lamborghini parts. I’m offering mine for
a much better price and including all the parts I have to go with the car. The
car is located in Newark, DE. Basics: This is built on a combination of a tubular chassis with a
Fiero tub. The previous owner stated that this was a Chassis Works chassis
bought directly from the owner of Chassis Works in Nevada. The Corey Davis body
was picked up from Florida. I have the title for the Fiero that was used. The body has been mounted and the doors are
hung. The doors open and close but still need some sanding to create a little
bit more of a gap between the doors and the body. Electric door poppers have
been installed. They are the largest door poppers you can get. Power window
actuators have been installed as well so the car will have working power
windows when completed. The glass has not yet been installed. The interior has
been fitted but not yet mounted. The gauges have just been set in as well but
the tachometer, fuel gauge and volt meter have been hooked up to monitor the
car when running. I would recommend re-weld the windshield frame a little
better and dropping the radiator frame down an inch or two so that the front
hook will close. Here is a link to the build thread of the original builder: http://www.kitcentral.com/index.php?set_albumName=1forme&name=gallery&include=view_album.php Engine/Drivetrain: It came with a 4.9 Cadillac V8 engine with an automatic
4t60E transmission. The car did not run when I bought it but I have been able
to get it running and it will fire up every time. It runs strong and very
responsive. When I added water and ran the car it never seemed to get hot or
overheat but I did find that it appears that the water has started leaking into
the engine oil so I believe the head gasket is bad. There is an additive that
can be added into the coolant to help seal that up or the engine can be rebuilt
or another engine can be picked up from a you-pull-it salvage yard for about
$400. I can’t seem to get the transmission to get into gear so I don’t know
what is up with that. I haven’t checked into it yet. I’m not a transmission guy
so usually if they go bad I just change them rather than try and fix them. The
local you-pull-it salvage yard near me sells them for about $350. The engine
and transmission are very easy to work on and there is TONS of space to work
around the drive train. There are conversions that can be done to put an LT1 engine
on the 4t60E transmission if interested in that option. The possibilities are
endless. I recently installed new axles, steel braided brake lines, BLACK
vented and slotted rotors, calipers, metallic brake pads and polyurethane bushing
in the rear. It also has adjustable coilover suspension with 450lbs springs in
the rear which is why the car looks so low to the ground right now. Extras: There are TONS of parts to go with this car. I have most
everything to finish the car. I’d say about 90% of the parts plus a lot of
extra parts that can be kept on hand as extras or can be resold to make some of
your money back. There are too many parts to list but I’ve got Diablo side
glass (don’t have the windshield or back glass), Viper car alarm with remote
doors, new 18” chrome rims, hinges, latches, gauges, steering wheel, TWO radios
(1 is a radio DVD with back-up camera option-not included), amps, subs, boxes and
speakers, Lamborghini badges, lights, and enough little parts to keep you busy
for a while. The DVD radio is currently installed in my Fiero which I will
uninstall at the time the auction ends. I
have a spreadsheet that I tried to maintain of a running parts list on hand. It
doesn’t have every little nut and bolt but it has most everything else. There
are a couple of fiberglass pieces missing. I don’t have the interior A-pillars
or the piece that goes around the windshield. I’m also missing the inner pieces
of the trunks. Nothing to vital to the completion of the car and can be created
out of fiberglass or even wood. There are a lot of Lamborghini parts as well. I
have the 6.0 tail lights but if you wanted the regular Diablo lights you could
sell the 6.0 lights to make some money back to buy those. I can provide the
parts list as well as a list I have of useful links to parts I planned on
picking up or wanted as well as the prices. That should help save the buyer
from having to try and figure out what parts are needed as well as figuring out
where to find them. Disclaimer-the wheels on the back DO NOT go with
the car. Those are Chromadora rims for my MERA that I am using in place of the mock-up
rims that came with the car. Two of the mock up rims had wheels and two didn’t
so I just threw those on for now. The old rims will be put back on once the car
is sold. I have done a bit of mechanical work but I haven’t done much
of the body work. I can answer any questions to the best of my knowledge and
will provide all the receipts and paperwork that I have. My records are very
detailed. There is over $20,000 invested in the car and over 2,000 hours of
labor invested as well. This is a greatly discounted deal for anyone who
dreamed about owning their own Lambo roadster. Please ask any questions you may have PRIOR to bidding.
These auctions cost money every time they have to be listed so please do your due diligence prior to
bidding. I’m easy going and will do the best I can to answer any
questions. I am going the extra distance
to post lots of pics as well as a video going over some of the car. I am your
eyes and ears. Here is a YouTube video just posted: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X7hDFnAE6oQ Payment: There is a $500 deposit due within 48 hours and the balance
is due within 7 days. I will accept cash and PayPal. Credit cards can be used
to pay the balance through PayPal. Other payment options that can be considered
are personal unsecured loans if your credit is good or you can get a loan from
your 401k. You can also bum it from your rich friend. Whatever option is used
to pay for the car needs to be secured BEFORE the auction ends. I will
make a sweet and rare Ebay deal to anyone who can pay in cash. PayPal charges a
2-3% fee for using their services so anyone who pays in cash and picks up the car I will offer a 1%
discount off of the final selling price to anyone who shows up with all cash
(aside from the initial deposit of course). Pick up or Delivery: Once the car is paid for the car can be picked up just about
any time. I’d like to have the car picked up within 2 weeks of the end of the
auction. I can be flexible if more time is needed to pick up the car as long as
it was paid for prior. There are A LOT of parts in tubs and a few boxes. There
are also a lot of loose fiberglass pieces so a pick-up truck and a four wheel
car dolly would be recommended. I would be willing to deliver the car and the
parts within 200 miles of my zip code (19702) for free ONLY if the buy-it-now
feature is used. That would be something that would need to be discussed prior
to the auction ending as I’m just a guy that can get my hands on a truck and
will have to rent a 4 wheeled dolly. Having to back a car dolly down a
complicated or narrow driveway doesn’t excite me much if you have one. I would
also be willing to meet someone in the middle if they are coming from a
distance of more than 200 miles. Good luck and again,
ask questions, prepare funds now so that you are ready to pay when the auction
ends. Buyer who fails to follow through will be reported to Ebay and given
negative feedback. Anyone with 0 feedback or excessive negative feedback (less
than 80%) needs to contact me prior to bidding. |

BMW Z8, Lambo LM002 sell for $192,500 apiece in Detroit [w/poll]
Wed, Jul 29 2015Think a car are a bad investment? That all depends on what kind of car you're talking about. Because while most cars depreciate in value as soon as you drive them off the lot, others can do even better than hold their value. The cars that appreciate tend to be pretty high-end exotics, but they don't have to be multi-million-dollar classics to command a premium at auction. Just look at the results from RM Sotheby's Motor City sale in Detroit this past weekend. The auction house moved a solid $7.4 million worth of metal, which is pretty impressive when you consider that – unlike events at Lake Como or Pebble Beach – not one of the lots dipped into seven figures. 1930s-era American classics performed the strongest, with Duesenbergs, Packards, Auburns and the like all fetching hundreds of thousands. But what intrigued us most were the European exotics that rounded the top ten results. Amidst the Depression-era American steel were a BMW Z8 from 2001 and a 1988 Lamborghini LM002, each of which sold for an equal $192,500. Hardly the highest figures paid for European exotics this year, but considering how much they were worth just a few years ago, they've proven solid investments. BMW only made 5,703 examples of the Henrik Fisker-designed retro Z8, of which only 2,543 were brought to the United States, where they originally sold for $128,000. The most anyone had ever paid for one at auction, according to Sports Car Market, was $184,082, just this past March at Silverstone. That makes the price achieved this weekend a new record for one of the slinkiest vehicles the Bavarian automaker has ever made, representing an impressive 50-percent increase in value over the course of fourteen years. This particular example – chassis WBAEJ13481AH60437 for those keeping track – is decked out in silver over black, with less than 15,500 miles on the odometer. This Rambo Lambo was produced early in the 301-unit production run, with the sought-after carbureted engine and 32,000 miles on the clock. It didn't set any records at the same price, other examples of the LM002 having traded over the past few years for over $200k. But considering that Sant'Agata originally charged around $120-130k for the SUV when it was new, its selling price still represents about 50-percent appreciation (leaving inflation aside).
Lamborghini 5-95 Zagato could be bound for limited production
Tue, 03 Jun 2014Lamborghini has been seriously upping its production overt the years. When Audi took over in the late 1990s, the company's production was measured in the 200-unit range. Now it's making over 2,000 cars every year. But at the same time, Sant'Agata has been focusing on low-volume production as well, with a separate assembly line dedicated to putting together concept cars and limited editions like the Sesto Elemento and Veneno. And now it may just have another on its hands.
That would be the Lamborghini 5-95 Zagato, a unique coachbuilt supercar based on the Gallardo and unveiled last week at the Concorso d'Eleganza Villa d'Este on the shores of Italy's glamorous Lake Como. It was commissioned as a one-off custom for noted Lambo and Zagato collector Albert Spiess, but reports suggest that it could be put into limited production.
The viability of the project would likely depend on how many orders the Italians might garner for an expanded production run. Whether the project would be undertaken at Lamborghini's special projects facility or off-site by Zagato remains to be seen, but you can bet it would fetch a pretty penny or two, despite the fact that the platform on which it's based is now over a decade old and has since been replaced by the newer Huracán.
Super-rare Lamborghini Miura SV Jota promises to break records
Mon, Jan 5 2015The prototypical mid-engined exotic, the Lamborghini Miura is fast becoming a collectors' favorite. While they were trading hands at around a quarter of a million dollars less than a decade ago, prices have been skyrocketing, with the last few examples to go up for auction trading at over a million. But this particular example is expected to fetch well over $2 million when it crosses the block later this month. That's because this is no ordinary Miura – it's an SV Jota, one of only five or so originally made by the factory in Sant'Agata Bolognese. A pet project of the company's Kiwi test driver Bob Wallace, the Jota project was meant to explore what would happen if Lamborghini went racing. Old man Ferruccio wasn't interested though, and the original Jota prototype was destroyed. Word soon got out, however, of the Jota's modifications, and a handful of customers sent their Miuras back to the factory to be upgraded to Jota specification. With so few Miuras built to Jota specification, it's rare to see one trade hands. The last one we saw actually sell at auction went for $1.15 million in October 2010, but this particular example is estimated to rake in between $2 million and $2.6 million at RM's upcoming auction in Arizona on January 15-16. In fact, the last time this particular one crossed the block, it failed to sell despite a high bid of $2 million. Chassis number 4892 was initially ordered new from the factory as a Miura SV in 1971 by a customer in Rome in white with a blue interior. Within the following three years, it returned to the factory for Jota upgrades, and was then sold to a customer in Japan where it resided until moving to the US in 2007, taking top honors at the William K. Vanderbilt Jr. Concours d'Elegance in Rhode Island. Despite its excellent condition, it underwent a comprehensive two-year restoration, and its authenticity has been certified by numerous experts, including by the late Bob Wallace himself. If it sells this time around, data from Sports Car Market tells us it will smash the record for Miuras and challenge even the $2.5 million paid for a Reventon in 2009 and the $2.16 million paid for Bertone's one-of-a-kind Lamborghini Marzal concept in 2011 to take its place among the most expensive Lamborghinis ever sold.
