To feed my never ending desire and lust for lamborghini's, i constantly find myself scrouging through the net looking for anything lamborghini related. Saw a lot of kit cars and got me thinking that in the future i will definately give it a go making a lamborghini kit car. that on it's own is a mission. this however, is a dream.
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. 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. 100% body correct.

yeah, i realise that, being a cabinetmaker myself, but usually the reason you would build something yourself is because nothing on the market satisfies what you want. or maybe you can build something better or cheaper than whats available. all power to him for his dedication and skill though.
my motto; do nothing, then rest.
