You Can Buy the Lamborghini Countach of Your Dreams for Dirt Cheap (Except It's a Fiero)
You Can Buy the Lamborghini Countach of Your Dreams for Dirt Cheap (Except It's a Fiero)-June 2024

If you’ve always wanted a Lamborghini, but your pocketbook is about as empty as a my oil-burning ’s crankcase after 100 miles, there’s great news. Available now on insurance auction site Copart is this incredible yellow 2006 Lamborghini—or, at least, that’s how the site has this sad looking Pontiac Fiero labeled.

The Lamborghini Countach is one of the most beautiful sports cars ever, but unfortunately, it’s expensive as hell. That leaves countless fanboys/fangirls who spent much of their childhoods staring at posters of these incredible machines out of luck. But for one lucky individual, there could be salvation in the form of GM’s finest 1980s mid-engine sports car, the Pontiac Fiero.

Strangely, the auction listing doesn’t mention “Fiero” anywhere, and lists this thing as a “2006 LAMBORGHINI COUNTACH,” which is a bit bizarre, because between the rear alloy wheels and the V6 engine crammed into the middle of this beast, it’s pretty obvious that what’s hiding under all that banged-up fiberglass was built in the former Fisher Body plant in Pontiac, Michigan and nowhere near Italy.

Looking at the photos, the damage doesn’t look too terrible, though whether someone out there thinks it’s worthwhile to fix this thing up is a question to which I do not have an answer.

The interior looks like a pretty sad place to spend time, with lots of flat yellow and black panels, and what look like some pretty well-used seats. Between that cabin, what looks like a standard Pontiac V6 powertrain, and the hilarious-looking (and damaged) body panels, I could see this car being a tough sell.

But who knows, maybe someone out there who’s always wanted a Countach will win this auction (current bidding is at $225), drive to Flint, Michigan, and pick up the closest thing they may ever have to their dream car. That’d be the best home for this loony little yellow Fieroghini.

At $950, Would You Go All-In On This 1984 Plymouth Colt GTS Turbo Project?
One of the calling cards of today’s Plymouth Colt is its “Twin Stick” overdrive gear change, which gives the car eight speeds going forward and two in reverse. Let’s see if this project car has anything else to offer. Just as Goldilocks discovered when appropriating Papa Bear’s lifestyle and...

The seller of today’s Caddy claims they should be selling it at auction but says who’s got time for that? Let’s see if we have the time for this custom convertible at its non-auction price. Many of you agreed that the $950 asked for yesterday’s was “chump change.” Even...

The (and Tacoma) have a death grip on used values. It’s been this way for years. Go ahead, go try and buy any TRD trim that’s a couple of years old; it’ll cost you as much as a new one — not that you could buy a new one...

Today’s Mustang is being sold by a towing yard, which means it’s probably a lien sale. Let’s see if this clean title convertible is priced to put a new buyer on the hook. The general consensus on last Friday’s was that it would be the perfect car for someone...

According to its seller, today’s Nissan 4X4 shows “pride of ownership.” Let’s see if it would take swallowing one’s pride to pay its asking price. Opinions were split on how well the design of yesterday’s has held up over the years. Some of you commented that the design still...
