The Lamborghini Countach fathered the modern raging bulls. This is essentially the reason why this Lamborghini is an icon and a legend. The Countach is legendary enough for some people to create faithful replicas of the car. One of these is this hand-built 1982 Lamborghini Countach LP5000 S recreation, which is now looking for a new owner on eBay.

A Countach Replica 17 Years In The Making

Buying an original or even a restored Lamborghini Countach is an uphill climb. It’s both difficult to find and expensive to purchase. Someone from Phoenix, Arizona managed to sell an original yet restored 1983 Lamborghini Countach LP5000 S for around $268,000. But if you’re not that choosy, Ron Susser is selling this 1982 Lamborghini Countach LP5000 S replica for less than a third of the price, at around $85,000.
