455 Countach

Not mine, but a kit car for the Olds lover. Apparently a Toro drivetrain. I wonder if it's a Mid-Engineering chassis.

I totally don't get these kits. The car is the engine. If you don't have the engine, you have a dead carcass being powered by some voodoo fakery.

Had a real one at my house for some work recently. It was one of 5 prototypes built to pass Emissions testing before being imported into the US. Being a test mule the fuel system and controls weren't the most robust design. Spent a couple of days debugging and of course a test drive was in order

Cool car for sure and it was fun to drive.
