99 Lamborghini Diablo Roadster Replica (corey Davis) Project 4.9 Cadillac Engine on 2040-cars
Newark, Delaware, United States
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. |

2015 Lamborghini Aventador LP 700-4 Roadster Review
Wed, May 13 2015"Lamborghini Murcielago." That's what I would tell anyone who asked what my favorite car was. Yes, there were easier cars to drive than the wailing wraith from Sant'Agata Bolgnese, and that was partly why I liked it so. It was impossible to see out the back – reversing was easiest done with the door open, sitting on the sill. My head banged the door frame when I checked traffic on the left. The seat made my butt hurt. The cabin ergonomics were based on a design language that humans haven't yet translated. It boiled over in stop-and-go traffic. It was big. Yet it drove like nothing else, with the instant zig-zag reflexes of a mako designed in The Matrix. The Murcielago's thrills weren't laid out on the ground, you had to dig for them with your bare hands. And that's what made it outstanding. When I first drove the Aventador at its launch in Rome, I spent the day blasting around the circuit at Vallelunga. It was so easy to drive – "too easy by half," as Jeremy Clarkson would later say of it – viciously quick, unholy fun, and very good. But it was a little too easy to drive. Which is why the Murcielago remained my favorite car, ever. Until two weeks ago. The Aventador came when the rough-diamond Gallardo was Lamborghini's in-house reference for ease-of-use. But now we have the fire-and-forget Huracan. Having driven one after the other, and on the context of LA streets instead of the smooth and open landscape of Vallelunga or Laguna Seca, I now see the Aventador for what it truly is: the representation of the bull that's on the Lamborghini badge – head-down, horns-out anger. Like the Murcielago, the Aventador is big. It's more than ten inches longer than a Chevrolet Corvette, five inches wider than a Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat, and 3.5 inches wider than a Dodge Viper. It is also low, an inch lower than the already ground-floor Huracan. I won't pretend to be rational about it: the Aventador says everything I want a car to say. It's the certain, antidotal statement to brief and befuddled everyday lives. The cabin is a cockpit in every sense: close-fitted, button-filled, lit up. I'm five-foot-eleven, and I wear it like a tailored suit. I gave a ride to a guy who's six-foot-three and perhaps 260 pounds, so it can fit much larger frames but I still don't know how he got in or out through that scissor-door opening. The trunk in the Murcielago was big enough to hold a single dream.
Lamborghini previews the Aventador's hybrid, 1,001-hp successor
Tue, Mar 7 2023Lamborghini is nearly ready to introduce the Aventador's long-awaited successor. Referred to as the LB744, the company's next flagship model adopts a gasoline-electric hybrid powertrain that's built around a new, naturally-aspirated V12 and rated at about 1,000 horsepower. We'll need to be patient to discover the model's exterior design, but Lamborghini provided us with a very good idea of what the specifications sheet looks like. The system's centerpiece is a mid-mounted, 6.5-liter V12 that eschews forced induction — the company has previously made it clear that it wants to keep the naturally-aspirated 12-cylinder alive for as long as possible. While the Aventador was V12-powered as well, it sounds like the mechanical similarities between the two cars end there. In the upcoming LB744, the engine is bolted to an eight-speed, dual-clutch automatic transmission that's mounted transversely behind the engine instead of longitudinally directly in front of it. The company will need to find a new name for the transmission tunnel: it now houses a 3.8-kilowatt-hour lithium-ion battery pack. The electricity stored in it zaps three electric motors: one is integrated into the transmission, while the other two are each assigned to one of the front wheels. This layout delivers through-the-road all-wheel-drive, so there's no mechanical connection between the axles, and it allows the LB744 to drive on electricity alone for short distances. The configuration also provides a torque vectoring function for sharper cornering. Lamborghini pegs the system's total output at 1,015 metric horsepower, which represents approximately 1,001 horsepower measured in U.S. terms. The bulk of the cavalry comes from the V12; it's billed as the lightest and most powerful 12-cylinder that Lamborghini has ever made and it develops about 813 horsepower at a screaming 9,250 rpm (that's 250 rpm short of its redline). Maximum torque checks in at 535 pound-feet. We haven't heard the new engine yet, but Lamborghini stresses that it went to great lengths to give it an exhaust note worthy of a supercar. More details about the LB744 will emerge in the not-too-distant future. Related video: This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings.
Lamborghini Aventador LP 720-4 50 Anniversario is one helluva birthday present
Fri, 19 Apr 2013While most 50th birthday parties include wacky and at least somewhat offensive gag gifts, Lamborghini will be celebrating its first 50 years with some incredibly exciting machines. Aside from the Veneno, the Italian automaker will also commemorate its first half century with new versions of the Aventador and Gallardo, which will both be on display at the Shanghai Motor Show.
The special Gallardo LP 560-2 50 Anniversario is a Gallardo with a unique paint scheme, a transparent engine cover and a few carbon fiber parts from the Superleggera, but the Aventador LP 720-4 50 Anniversario is where you'll find the true party favor. Confirming what leaked out earlier in the week, the Aventador LP 720-4 50 Anniversario squeezes an extra 20 horsepower from its 6.5-liter V12 compared to the "base" Aventador LP 700-4, which is accomplished with different engine tuning.
If the Aventador wasn't already flashy enough for you, the 50 Anniversario gets painted up in a two-tone paint job with a bright yellow Giallo Maggio exterior color over matte black for the lower portions of the car, along with gloss-black wheels. Lamborghini chose yellow because it has been the most popular color for its cars since the Miura. As for unique styling elements, the Aventador LP 720-4 50 Anniversario gets a revised front end with an extended splitter and bigger air intakes, and the rear fascia has been completely redesigned for better aerodynamics and engine ventilation.
