    That is really impressive. Imagine, building a Lamborghini from scratch. He is really good and talented. I am really impressed!

    Glad yall enjoyed...here are more
















    "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?

    a very commendable build.. but does anyone else think the fuel tank in the very front of the car less than a foot off the ground is a bad idea?

    I guess we would have had to remove certain things from his basement or rearrange them. Im sure he had alot of motivation and didnt let anything stop him.
