FOR SALE SOON
I am selling this project and would very much appreciate any info I can get on the company and this particular model. I do know it was made in 1988 and is the "California Countach" body #3. It is a copy of the 1988.5 LP 5000 S Lamborghini Countach. It has all the special body parts for the 5000 S model. I already have it accepted to be auctioned on Bring A Trailer.

Here is what I know about it from the research I have done: Exotic Dream
Machines 1988 Lamborghini Countach 5000 S Replica Made in 1988 by Exotic Dream
Machines (EDM), this is likely the only unfinished 1988 Lamborghini Countach
5000 S Replica. This is the third of the reportedly three �California Countach�
replicas made by EDM in 1988. It uses a computer designed dual plane, tubular
chassis engineered to place the engine longitudinally and mounted to a
transaxle. It is designed so that it can be completely assembled and tested
without a body. The interior is also larger than a real Countach, easily
accepting 6� tall drivers. The front suspension (not included) will use a
complete 84-87 Pontiac Fiero front end. Chosen for its rack & pinion steering,
disc brakes, sway bar, and tilt steering column with all of its controls. The
rear suspension (not included) is Porsche 930 trailing arms, bearing carriers,
disc brakes, axles and sway bars. It is designed for dual fuel tanks and the
engine coolant runs through selected tubes of the custom tubular frame to the
three radiator locations. Windshield glass will need to be sourced from a Ford
Aerostar van, all the rest of the glass is included. OEM Lamborghini front, side
and tail lights are included with all the off the shelf parts sourced from OEM
domestic manufacturers and aftermarket companies. You can build this as the
coupe it is or make a roadster out of this with the extra doors. It will need to
be titled as a Special Construction Vehicle and will be sold on a bill of sale.
The turnkey car EDM made weighed in around 2500 pounds and was priced at $42900
in 1988. Included is a 5 speed ZF Synchroma 5 DS 25/2 H-pattern
Gearbox/Transaxle serial number 2892. It is a 1971 model sourced from a Pantera
and comes with all the associated parts taken from the Pantera including,
shifter assembly, connecting shafts, pedal box/brake assembly, 3 bell housings
and other associated parts. The ZF DS-25/2 gearbox was used in cars like the
Ford GT40, DeTomaso Pantera, BMW M1 and many other mid-engine supercars. Gear
Ratios: 1st. 2.23,
2nd. 1.47, 3rd. 1.04, 4th. .846, 5th. .705, Rev. 2.86, Ring and Pinion 4:22. If
