What do you have going on in your basement? Some mold growing? A random collection of crumpled red Solo cups accruing in the corner? Whatever it is, it’s not as crazy as this. Ken Imhoff, a sports car nut with a bit of time on his hands, spent 17 years building a Lamborghini Countach from scratch in his basement. Back in 2008 he finally finished constructing the ride. Afterwards, Ken simply excavated to get his new wheels outside. You know, just dig a hole through your basement wall after you’ve removed the ground in front of it. No comment from his wife.

very cool but what would be kinda funny about it is how mega BADASS the car was back in 1991 when he started and then when he finished in 2008, it would have been sooo oldd school..



Countach is still badass and one of my favorite crazy looking lambos but the timelapse is kinda funny



I remember seeing my first Countach down near detroit.. super cool!

An I conic car, and beautiful! But the real deal is actually surprisingly slow and handles like a wet napkin... on fire..... covered in human excrement.



Though his looks the business!

I hate to be a negative ninny, but that looks like an awful spaceframe. Looking like a lambo =! being a lambo.

^Yeah but imagine the pleasure it gives you knowing you dreamt it up from nothing! And that everything, every screw, every weld is yours. That's half of it. Imagine the BRAGGING RIGHTS!
