For auction is my 2001 Lamborghini Diablo 6.0 VT Replica professionally built on a stretched Fiero frame. I've been told it's one of the best looking replicas by Kit Car Magazine photographer and no one asks as it even sounds close to the real thing. ALWAYS garage kept and only one non smoking owner since all work completed just a couple years ago. It is powered by an 86' Pontiac 2.8 GT 6 cyl with only 16,400 miles since rebuild. Rebuild was done to stock specs as I wanted it to be a reliable daily drivable car vs a fast race car with never ending problems, but don't let that fool you because it is extremely quick and runs very strong. It has a larger than stock Holley throttle body, a Holley fuel pressure regulator with gauge and a Hyperchip ECM upgrade that I use sometimes and sometimes not as it idles a bit high with the chip. Maybe the timing needs to be changed with the chip? I don't know. It accelerates quickly thru the gears with an amazing authentic sound and quickly reaches my cruising speed of 85 mph, then 5th gear will continue to smoothly, but quietly accelerate with low RPM's to a top speed of approx 110 mph (and that of course was on a closed track by a professional driver :) Since the frame was stretched 11" to fit the "exact in every detail" replica body by IFG (innovative fiberglass) you could certainly fit a V12 in there or it is widely known that a 3.8 Supercharged GM engine from a Bonneville SSE, Grand Am, Grand Prix, etc will bolt right up to my existing 5 speed Getrag transmission and make this car go faster than the Lambo V12 !!!. I had no interest in that though since my 6 cyl is completely reliable and plenty fast enough. I had planned to keept forever, but injuries & surgeries prompt sale soon. This car can be driven daily if desired, but it should be a secondary car as it's not very practical for everyday use. I have gone to Home Depot more than once with it only to then remember that I cant fit the item in the car ha....Starts right up every day and runs, drives and steers like a dream. Upgraded suspension with KONI shocks. Headlights, tail lights, blinkers & flashers all work great. Between 40-60 psi oil pressure, steady 14 amp battery guage since new alternator ALL gauges work perfect and light up as well. Runs at straight up 200 degrees with a new BMW radiator with 3400 CFM puller fan which brings temp down to 180 degrees as soon as it comes on. Ice cold A/C works perfect. Heat does not work, but only needs hoses connected. I live in Florida so I never took it back to complain about heater hoses being disconnected for whatever reason? Also the only other thing not working is the windshield wiper. It has an authentic looking Lambo dual wiper, but It does not have a working wiper motor at this time. It is a newly replaced real OEM Lamborghini windshield courtesy of FL state road hazard insurance program and due to the angle of it the rain just blows right off so I never worried about getting that fixed up. The quarter glass & rear glass is also real Lamborghini as is the headlights, tail lights and front parking lights. The gauges have Lamborghini script and Bull logos on the larger ones. The interior vinyl/leather is less than 2 yrs old with only a slight rub mark on the driver seat bolster edge. The interior and dash is exactly like the real Diablo and is way too nice to tint the windows as the cars interior really seals the deal on authenticity. It has the newest & hottest looking carbon ceramic rotors and big Lambo calipers as a facade hiding the original Fiero brakes which work perfectly so I saw no need to upgrade them. Tires are all matching Hankook Ventus V12 EVO's with approx 75% tread left. 305/30/ZR19 in the rear & 215/40/ZR18 in the front (they are NOT run flats !!- never again with run flats) (4) Sony Xplod speakers, MP3/MP4 DVD/CD touch screen stereo system with built in amp. This write up for Ebay took a long time and I've never done Ebay before. I would rather sell it locally to a friend or relative as I can stand behind it's reliability, but it sold as is and will need a $1,000 (negotiable) down payment within 24 hrs of sale. Then remaining funds at pick up soon thereafter. We can that all out. Buyer responsible for shipment charges. I am in the Orlando area and the car is available to be seen and driven by proven serious buyers. I am also willing to take it to the Daytona Spring car show this weekend as I may consider selling it there as well.

Leno stretches Lamborghini Diablo's legs for latest Garage installment
Tue, 06 May 2014While posters of the Lamborghini Countach decorated the walls of many boys' walls in the 1980s, the Diablo filled that spot for young men in the early 1990s thanks to its extreme styling. In its latest video, Jay Leno's Garage welcomes a beautiful, white 1991 Diablo into his garage for a look back on what is now a classic supercar.
Unlike some of the vehicles Leno shows off, this one doesn't belong to him. Instead, veteran Italian car mechanic Franco Barbuscia owns it. He has been maintaining Jay's Countach for years. A '91 Diablo is an archaic supercar by today's standards. It doesn't have power steering, anti-lock brakes or obviously anything like traction control. It's just a big V12 hanging behind the driver with a wonderfully meaty roar that emanates from the exhaust.
Franco's Diablo might actually be better than new. It has a few upgrades to aid in drivability, like re-spaced pedals, a carbon-Kevlar clutch and more. Apparently all of the tweaks help a lot because, "it rides smoother than my Carrera GT," Leno enthuses about the car. Scroll down to reminisce about this Italian classic and get an ear full of its wonderful sound.
Drive like a prince: Join us for a walk through Monaco's car collection
Fri, Dec 29 2023Small, crowded, and a royal pain in the trunk lid to drive into during rush hour, Monaco sounds like an improbable location for a huge car museum. And yet, this tiny city-state has been closely linked to car culture for over a century. It hosts two major racing events every year, many of its residents would qualify for a frequent shopper card if Rolls-Royce issued one, and Prince Rainier III began assembling a collection of cars in the late 1950s. He opened his collection to the public in 1993 and the museum quickly turned into a popular tourist attraction. The collection continued to grow after his death in April 2005; it moved to a new facility located right on Hercules Port in July 2022. Monaco being Monaco, you'd expect to walk into a room full of the latest, shiniest, and most powerful supercars ever to shred a tire. That's not the case: while there is no shortage of high-horsepower machines, the first cars you see after paying ˆ10 (approximately $11) to get in are pre-war models. In that era, the template for the car as we know it in 2023 hadn't been created, so an eclectic assortment of expensive and dauntingly experimental machines roamed whatever roads were available to them. One is the Leyat Helica, which was built in France in 1921 with a 1.2-liter air-cooled flat-twin sourced from the world of aviation. Fittingly, the two-cylinder spun a massive, plane-like propeller. Government vehicles get a special spot in the museum. They range from a Cadillac Series 6700 with an amusing blend of period-correct French-market yellow headlights and massive fins to a 2011 Lexus LS 600h with a custom-made transparent roof panel that was built by Belgian coachbuilder Carat Duchatelet for Prince Albert II's wedding. Here's where it all gets a little weird: you've got a 1952 Austin FX3, a Ghia-bodied 1959 Fiat 500 Jolly, a 1960 BMW Isetta, and a 1971 Lotus Seven. That has to be someone's idea of a perfect four-car garage. One of the most significant cars in the collection lurks in the far corner of the main hall, which is located a level below the entrance. At first glance, it's a kitted-out Renault 4CV with auxiliary lights, a racing number on the front end, and a period-correct registration number issued in the Bouches-du-Rhone department of France. It doesn't look all that different than the later, unmodified 4CV parked right next to it. Here's what's special about it: this is one of the small handful of Type 1063 models built by Renault for competition.
'Born of a Blue Sky' brings the Amelia Island Concours to you
Fri, 03 May 2013The Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance has more clout every year and is getting a reputation as Pebble Beach minus the madness. Held in March this year, it celebrated Ducati and the 50-year anniversaries of Lamborghini, the Corvette Sting Ray, Porsche 911 and the Ford GT40.
Justin Lapriore was there, and seemingly everywhere, getting footage of the various wares on display on the lawns and the sand and the runway. The resulting video, Born of a Blue Sky, is a 16-minute survey of some of the finer sights and plenty of engine sounds. Check it out below.
