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)-February 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 $13,500, Would This 1999 Mazda MX5 Make A Great Anniversary Present?
While the answer may always be Miata, today’s ’99 MX5 proves that that answer could sometimes be multiple choice. Let’s see if this special edition car’s price tag ticks all the right boxes. As we discussed yesterday, BMW has long used the 7 Series as its primary canvas for...

At $14,750, Is This 1995 BMW 750iL A ‘Pretty’ Good Deal?
Today’s E38 750iL might prove a satisfying alternative to the new 7 Series that BMW recently announced. Arguably more handsome and somewhere around a quarter of the price, could this last-of-the-good-looking 7-Series also prove a relative steal? The great lament of Shakespeare’s King Richard is his lack of a...

At $2,850, Will This 2000 Saturn SW2 Run Rings Around The Competition?
With 290,000 miles on the clock, today’s Saturn could have driven all the way to the moon and then some. It still looks pretty good for all those miles, but let’s see how attractive its price turns out to be. So an odd schism occurred last Friday — a...

New Nissan Z Delayed To Unspecified Date This Summer Due To, You Guessed It, Supply Chain Chaos
Nissan told us we’d see it on the road basically now, as in the spring. As it happens, we’re a little more than a month into that whole business — something I know to be true because I can’t drive with the windows down for more than 30 seconds...

Hybrid, All-Wheel Drive Corvette Does a Four-Wheel Snow Burnout in Teaser Video
You could argue that the V8 engine saved the Corvette. After , the Vette made eight cylinders an option and its buyers never looked back. Now, as the era of the combustion engine wanes and , it seems Chevrolet once again wants a new powertrain to keep the Corvette going...
