Hand-Made Basement-Built Lamborghini: Hand-Made Lamborghini Built In Basement Finally Sees Light Of Day

Seventeen years ago, Ken Imhoff watched Cannonball Run and became so enamored with the Lamborghini Countach in the film, he hand-built his own, in his basement. In what we imagine might be the most Jalopnik build ever undertaken, Ken designed and fabricated his own tig-welded frame, installed a thoroughly massaged 351 cubic inch V8 with a ZF-25 5-speed transmission, hand-formed the aluminum body over a meticulously measured and accurate body form, and finished it all off in a beautiful metallic gray. It took Ken 10 years to complete the project, and the results — as you can see both in the gallery and in the video below the jump — are amazing. There's only one problem, when you build a car in a basement — how do you get it out? Find out below.

That is MASTERFUL! What a stunning car, and probably better built than the real Countach. I know a guy that has one locally and frankly, it's garbage! Funky build, it's whatever tony can fanagel together to make it work.
