99 Lamborghini Diablo Roadster Replica (corey Davis) Project 4.9 Cadillac Engine on 2040-cars
Newark, Delaware, United States
I hate to let it go but up for sale is my Corey Davis 1999
Lamborghini Diablo Roadster replica. I saw a Corey Davis Roadster that recently
sold on Ebay for $15,500 in similar state of completion and parts PLUS they
wanted an additional $3,500 for extra Lamborghini parts. I’m offering mine for
a much better price and including all the parts I have to go with the car. The
car is located in Newark, DE. Basics: This is built on a combination of a tubular chassis with a
Fiero tub. The previous owner stated that this was a Chassis Works chassis
bought directly from the owner of Chassis Works in Nevada. The Corey Davis body
was picked up from Florida. I have the title for the Fiero that was used. The body has been mounted and the doors are
hung. The doors open and close but still need some sanding to create a little
bit more of a gap between the doors and the body. Electric door poppers have
been installed. They are the largest door poppers you can get. Power window
actuators have been installed as well so the car will have working power
windows when completed. The glass has not yet been installed. The interior has
been fitted but not yet mounted. The gauges have just been set in as well but
the tachometer, fuel gauge and volt meter have been hooked up to monitor the
car when running. I would recommend re-weld the windshield frame a little
better and dropping the radiator frame down an inch or two so that the front
hook will close. Here is a link to the build thread of the original builder: http://www.kitcentral.com/index.php?set_albumName=1forme&name=gallery&include=view_album.php Engine/Drivetrain: It came with a 4.9 Cadillac V8 engine with an automatic
4t60E transmission. The car did not run when I bought it but I have been able
to get it running and it will fire up every time. It runs strong and very
responsive. When I added water and ran the car it never seemed to get hot or
overheat but I did find that it appears that the water has started leaking into
the engine oil so I believe the head gasket is bad. There is an additive that
can be added into the coolant to help seal that up or the engine can be rebuilt
or another engine can be picked up from a you-pull-it salvage yard for about
$400. I can’t seem to get the transmission to get into gear so I don’t know
what is up with that. I haven’t checked into it yet. I’m not a transmission guy
so usually if they go bad I just change them rather than try and fix them. The
local you-pull-it salvage yard near me sells them for about $350. The engine
and transmission are very easy to work on and there is TONS of space to work
around the drive train. There are conversions that can be done to put an LT1 engine
on the 4t60E transmission if interested in that option. The possibilities are
endless. I recently installed new axles, steel braided brake lines, BLACK
vented and slotted rotors, calipers, metallic brake pads and polyurethane bushing
in the rear. It also has adjustable coilover suspension with 450lbs springs in
the rear which is why the car looks so low to the ground right now. Extras: There are TONS of parts to go with this car. I have most
everything to finish the car. I’d say about 90% of the parts plus a lot of
extra parts that can be kept on hand as extras or can be resold to make some of
your money back. There are too many parts to list but I’ve got Diablo side
glass (don’t have the windshield or back glass), Viper car alarm with remote
doors, new 18” chrome rims, hinges, latches, gauges, steering wheel, TWO radios
(1 is a radio DVD with back-up camera option-not included), amps, subs, boxes and
speakers, Lamborghini badges, lights, and enough little parts to keep you busy
for a while. The DVD radio is currently installed in my Fiero which I will
uninstall at the time the auction ends. I
have a spreadsheet that I tried to maintain of a running parts list on hand. It
doesn’t have every little nut and bolt but it has most everything else. There
are a couple of fiberglass pieces missing. I don’t have the interior A-pillars
or the piece that goes around the windshield. I’m also missing the inner pieces
of the trunks. Nothing to vital to the completion of the car and can be created
out of fiberglass or even wood. There are a lot of Lamborghini parts as well. I
have the 6.0 tail lights but if you wanted the regular Diablo lights you could
sell the 6.0 lights to make some money back to buy those. I can provide the
parts list as well as a list I have of useful links to parts I planned on
picking up or wanted as well as the prices. That should help save the buyer
from having to try and figure out what parts are needed as well as figuring out
where to find them. Disclaimer-the wheels on the back DO NOT go with
the car. Those are Chromadora rims for my MERA that I am using in place of the mock-up
rims that came with the car. Two of the mock up rims had wheels and two didn’t
so I just threw those on for now. The old rims will be put back on once the car
is sold. I have done a bit of mechanical work but I haven’t done much
of the body work. I can answer any questions to the best of my knowledge and
will provide all the receipts and paperwork that I have. My records are very
detailed. There is over $20,000 invested in the car and over 2,000 hours of
labor invested as well. This is a greatly discounted deal for anyone who
dreamed about owning their own Lambo roadster. Please ask any questions you may have PRIOR to bidding.
These auctions cost money every time they have to be listed so please do your due diligence prior to
bidding. I’m easy going and will do the best I can to answer any
questions. I am going the extra distance
to post lots of pics as well as a video going over some of the car. I am your
eyes and ears. Here is a YouTube video just posted: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X7hDFnAE6oQ Payment: There is a $500 deposit due within 48 hours and the balance
is due within 7 days. I will accept cash and PayPal. Credit cards can be used
to pay the balance through PayPal. Other payment options that can be considered
are personal unsecured loans if your credit is good or you can get a loan from
your 401k. You can also bum it from your rich friend. Whatever option is used
to pay for the car needs to be secured BEFORE the auction ends. I will
make a sweet and rare Ebay deal to anyone who can pay in cash. PayPal charges a
2-3% fee for using their services so anyone who pays in cash and picks up the car I will offer a 1%
discount off of the final selling price to anyone who shows up with all cash
(aside from the initial deposit of course). Pick up or Delivery: Once the car is paid for the car can be picked up just about
any time. I’d like to have the car picked up within 2 weeks of the end of the
auction. I can be flexible if more time is needed to pick up the car as long as
it was paid for prior. There are A LOT of parts in tubs and a few boxes. There
are also a lot of loose fiberglass pieces so a pick-up truck and a four wheel
car dolly would be recommended. I would be willing to deliver the car and the
parts within 200 miles of my zip code (19702) for free ONLY if the buy-it-now
feature is used. That would be something that would need to be discussed prior
to the auction ending as I’m just a guy that can get my hands on a truck and
will have to rent a 4 wheeled dolly. Having to back a car dolly down a
complicated or narrow driveway doesn’t excite me much if you have one. I would
also be willing to meet someone in the middle if they are coming from a
distance of more than 200 miles. Good luck and again,
ask questions, prepare funds now so that you are ready to pay when the auction
ends. Buyer who fails to follow through will be reported to Ebay and given
negative feedback. Anyone with 0 feedback or excessive negative feedback (less
than 80%) needs to contact me prior to bidding. |

Volkswagen decides to keep Lamborghini and Ducati, transfers Bentley to Audi
Tue, Dec 15 2020Investors in the market for a high-end Italian manufacturer that peddles performance will need to keep looking. Volkswagen announced it will hang on to Lamborghini and Ducati in the foreseeable future. Executives in Wolfsburg, Germany, are making far-reaching changes to the Volkswagen Group to reboot it with a big focus on technology. Credible rumors claimed that the people in charge of the carmaker wanted to carve out Lamborghini — which owns Ducati — and ultimately list it, or at least a chunk of it, on the stock market in order to fast-track the group's electrification strategy. Going electric is expensive, so selling Lamborghini would have helped fund the expansion, and high-octane supercars don't easily go hand-in-hand with zero-emissions cars. "Volkswagen needs to change from a collection of valuable brands and fascinating combustion-engine products that thrill customers with superb engineering to a digital company that reliably operates millions of mobility devices worldwide," summed up Herbert Diess, the group's boss, during a September 2020 meeting. His team ultimately decided not to fully divest both brands. It's too early to tell whether part of Lamborghini will be listed on the stock market, as some insiders have suggested, or if those plans are off the table, too. Changes are coming to Bentley as well. While it's not being spun off either, it will fall under the Audi umbrella starting on March 1, 2021. Volkswagen explained linking the two companies will "allow for synergies to be achieved as part of the electrification strategy of the two premium brands," a statement which suggests they will share a growing number of components during the 2020s. Unverified rumors claim that Bentley will notably get its own version of an ultra-luxurious electric SUV code-named Landjet that Audi is currently developing. We've reached out to Bentley for more details, and we'll update this story if we learn more. Bugatti's future wasn't mentioned in the release; unconfirmed reports suggest it will be traded for a stake in Croatian start-up Rimac. Volkswagen's supervisory board also reaffirmed its support for Diess, who was appointed CEO in 2018 and who has played a significant role in the company's transformation. Finally, the board approved the development of what a statement refers to a future leading electric vehicle sold by the Volkswagen brand that will be developed and manufactured in Wolfsburg.
2018 Lamborghini Huracan Performante First Drive | The Banshee of Sant'Agata
Wed, Jul 12 2017Lamborghini didn't need to build the Huracan Performante. The folks in Sant'Agata could have just rolled out another special-edition Huracan - Superleggera, Tricolore, probably even Mostaccholi - and sold every one. Instead, they gave the junior Lamborghini a trick active aerodynamics system and updated everything enabled by new levels of downforce and more grip from the latest-generation of tires. And then just to prove it's not messing around, Lamborghini went out and set at new production-car Nurburgring Lap Record. The Huracan Performante is a statement. This is Lamborghini's way of saying that its future will not just be high-tech, but the kind that brings world-class performance. And it will be loud. Very loud. Sound is the most defining characteristic of this car. In the era of turbocharging, everything else is too quiet. Quiet is not a problem in the Performante. In track-ready Corsa mode (one of three settings), the exhaust drowns out everything, even your internal monologue. And it's not just loud, it sounds like an honest-to-god racecar. Making a V10 sound not just decent, but back-of-the-neck-hair thrilling, would have been enough. But as we've hinted, there's more to the Huracan Performante. So how did we get here? Lamborghini rolled out the Performante title to define all-encompassing performance. So the all-wheel-drive system stays, the engine gets tweaked, some weight goes out, and Aerodinamica Lamborghini Attiva (ALA, or Lamborghini Active Aerodynamics) comes in. Fun fact: Ala means "wing" in Italian. We've covered most of the details in earlier posts, but to quickly review: ALA uses internal flaps at the front splitter and on the rear wing to alter airflow, either running for maximum downforce or creating a stall effect that lowers drag. At the rear, the system channels air through the wing struts, and using each side independently aids the handling. The increased downforce, plus sticky new Pirelli P Zero Corsa tires, necessitated a retuning of the suspension. Through new springs and anti-roll bars, vertical stiffness is up 10 percent, and roll stiffness increases 15 points. The engine gets a new intake and exhaust, plus titanium intake valves that allow more lift. The improved breathing is good for 630 horsepower, 28 more than before, with 443 pound-feet of torque. And to tie it all together, the integrated chassis control system (Lamborghini calls it ANIMA) was recalibrated.
