    If I won the lottery, I would buy this, take it through two feet of mud, then spin donuts around a Hummer owners' convention.


    Anything with Countach power and at most 300 remaining examples that wasn't built in a shed is a Nice Price at $115k.

    I was at my local Chevy dealer with a friend the other day. In the showroom was an absolutely mint light blue 327 '67 Stingray convertible for $69,000.


    I could never afford that and I wouldn't want to buy a classic from a new car dealer, anyway. Even so, I could buy that 'Vette and still have $45,000 left over. And that's still plenty of money to buy hundreds of other great cars that aren't this Lambo.


    Total. Fucking. Crackpipe.

    I understand how this truck....and that's what it is....would appeal to some of you in the commentariat. Heck, it's a JFG member.


    However, as a rule, I don't like trucks. Unless, they're being raced across a desert. And this trailer queen, despite it's potential capabilites in such endeavors, has never been further afield than a premium mall parking lot.



    Besides, I'd rather have an Isolero and keep the change.


    Crack pipe.

    @SCROGGZILLA!!: Interesting. I think you are the first person I have come across you has professed an attraction to the Islero. I don't mean that as a criticism, it's just that the Islero is one of the more obscure, and least celebrated models in Lamborghini's history. Personally, I prefer the earlier iteration - the 400GT, but I applaud your choice as well.

    A moderately rusty, Montreal for $4K, which is sure to provide hours of entertainment without leaving the garage? Crack pipe.


    An SUV that is 28 times more expensive and so nice that you wouldn't dare to hoon it appropriately? Nice Price.

    While I did vote "Nice Price", the fact that there's a "best offer" option coupled with the fact that with used car dealers the sticker is always high and negotiable means that someone will probably get it for quite a bit less than teh asking price (unless they can't refrain from slobbering during the negotiations). This vehicle has been in the MtD Fantasy garage ever since the first time I saw one in the metal, back in the eighties.

    For an old exotic with monstrous servicing requirements, $114K seems steep. But the cachet...don't forget to mention that Lambo spent the M1 development money they got from BMW on the Cheetah program, only to lose both contracts! The LM002 is basically an Italian middle finger. Would love to see one of these crush an X6.

    If I could afford this I could afford to go ahead and mount an M2 50 cal. in the bed.


    Might be cool to paint a matte tan and add some Arabic script to the doors too. Make it a faux ex-Mid-East military version.


    Nice price, but probably not the first place I would spend $115k on cars/trucks.

    Nice Price.


    Here's why:


    1. It's a Lamborghini offroader. Try taking your Gallardo across rivers and the desert.

    2. It's rare. Only 301 produced. Anybody know how many are still around?

    3. Uday Hussein owned one. Of course, it was blown up by the US military. So there are only 300 left. [www.lamborghiniregistry.com]

    4. Making Hummer owners and Arnold Schwarzenegger feel inadequate is a lifelong dream of mine.
