countach restoration and testing (Re-upload, check description) 

still after all these years the most beautiful and ageless car on the road.Thank you for rescuing her and sharing that story

i love the sound. From the second he started it up until the scream at acceleration and the cackle = fantastic!

The Lamborghini Countach will ALWAYS be my absolute favorite car ever built. It's a complete work of art from tailights to the nose. This group of men did an AMAZING restoration of an icon and it definitely shows. GREAT JOB! Bellissimo!

It's his car, he can do whatever he wants. It looks like he did it all himself, in his own garage, with his hands and his wits. That is impressive. I'm guessing that most of the negative comments come from people who couldn't restore a dining room chair, let alone an extrememly complex car. I love it.

This restorer is a particularly skilled man with the courage to tackle a restoration project few are qualified to undertake! He plays in the big leagues, so to speak, of auto restoration. I'm trying to become knowledgeable enough to restore something SIMPLE, like a Dodge Pickup.

Wouhaou! Mécanicien de formation et ayant vécu un peu à la Réunion je mesure les difficultés que vous avez surmonté pour cette restauration ! Grand respect pour ce boulot de dingue !

The scenery and bends and turns is exactly where this car should be Absolute CLASSIC!!

I have the most respect for the guys who restored this Countach.

I have no words to describe this beauty. Respect to the owner who restored this timeless piece of art. Kudos to you!

The sound of this engine is the most beautiful music.

Amazing, thank you for the video... only a handful of people in this world are capable of achieving this... no easy task. The value of these cars has SKYROCKETED in the last few years and today, if you can find a damaged Countach for "cheap" and rebuild it the value could be achieved, but sadly many supercars simply can't be brought back from the edge.... I've heard stories from clients about Ferrari rebuilds that cost more than the car was worth - not sure I'd try it with many other cars, but the Countach is now selling for $350,000 to $450,000 (crazy), so if you could find one for less than $100,000 it might make sense.

Give this man an Award! Tks sir, there still people with a heart

There is no small amount of craftsmanship that was used to create and then restore this beautiful automobile, Thank you so much for sharing your love and labor.

I applaud you , this is a huge task to complete and it is a thing of beauty .

Wow HUGE Respect for this dude for resurrecting such an automotive legend as this Countach.

Dude, total respect for this restoration. Congratulations and enjoy that car

mamma mia , mi hai fatto godere con questo rombo, spettacolare, ingambissimo, superlavoro

Now THIS is a Lamborghini!

i respect anyone who can do this kind of restoration at home.

Crazy amount of work, but you (and your friends I guess) pulled it off! I used to have one of those on a poster in my room as a teen. I thought then that it is a huge car (like my parents sedan). Much, much later I saw an actual Countach on the highway and was surprised at how tiny they are. ButI think this is the coolest Lambo ever made, it has a truly great design and balance. Timeless. I'm not sure any of the newer models will hold up that well (visually) in let's say 25 years from now. Unbelievable car, great job restoring and saving it!

Man... what an absolute labor of love!!! Only the most talented hands were laid upon this iconic beauty. Very well done. Just amazing 👏.

I bet I have watched this vid 50 times. I have always wanted to take on this same project but never had the $. Absolutely stunning job guys, I love the orange. She turned out beautifully. That's the one car that always had the ability to put a spell on anyone who saw it. Once you see one your spellbound for life. Magnificent.

This is the reason "WHY" it makes it worthwhile to have a project in mind and actually have the balls to "DO IT" from the ground up. The process is painstakingly slow but if you have the will, the time and resources to undertake such a time consuming restoration, the rewards are immense as this video clearly demonstrates. The once a piece of admiration then turned almost scrap and then back to glorious life on the road again is truly remarkable work. This lovely and dreamy Countach was yanked back from sure death.

This is simply awesome! Great result after a lot of sweat and swears. Thanks also for the thorought aftermath - I was really enjoying that! I'm glad that this beauty went to the right hands and sees the beautiful streets and scenery, where it was meant for.

Great effort, magnificent result and heavenly roads. Cant tell you how jealous i am. This is truly one of the most moving countach videos i've ever seen!

Holy crap!! Especially because of the end of the video, it is in my favourites!! Incredible how awsome this car looks in orange, from my childhood on, a Countach had to be red, like in the Cannonball movies, where it appeared twice in that marvellous color. Now the more important thing: My huge respect to the french Monsieur, who dared to take on this restoration project. Even with some help and some personal capacities in restoration of cars, this must have cost a fortune. I "so to say" restored an old Opel Astra F GSI with new engine and it cost me around 10 grand in € - I'm a student at university, so money is not that big! Huge and profound respect, the engine sounds so good and round turning, after what it looked like in the beginning a huge effort to get it done! WOW!!

Beautiful ! Thank your for putting one of these legends back on the road. Just gorgeous !

THIS IS A MAGIC CAR Thank you very much for bringing it alive again. Such a beauty, especially in that colour.

Beautiful job! Thank you for sharing. And that sound... still my dream car.

Nothing in the world sounds like that 12. What an undertaking it must've been bringing this old girl back to life. I can't believe someone let her rot like that. Now you've got two reliable vehicles in the garage. The Porsche and now the 5000s. I don't know if I'm more envious of the car or the CNC mill station. Amazing work.

You won't hear that cackle in modern cars. That's for sure.

I loved these cars as a kid, glad you brought this one back to life.

It's still to this day...the most awesome automobile ever created...just absolutely stunning.

Love the sound and the primal, feline nature of seeing it drive up the grass. "Oh that? That's my -other- car"

Bruh... OMG... That is one of the most beautiful Lambos ever.. That orange paint is "soooo wet", one look at that thing and you'll instantly drown... Damn.. Well done bruh... Well done..

WOW, the Countach is the Best Lambo in History, my absolute Favourite. A Dream on 4 Wheels... the Sound and the Body incredible🕺🏻🕺🏻🕺🏻

WOW! That engine needed a lot of TLC. I'm so glad to see someone take the time, money and energy to restore this back to its former glory. I can't understand how anyone could let a Countach get to this horrible state. I'm so glad to see that he got rid of the anniversary style rocker panels. This color is a little bit unusual for a later Countach LP5000. Thanks.

What an undertaking. I've never seen a Countach in that bad a shape. Classic style. Very determined owner.

Carnography at its best from a timeless classic.... Fantastic restoration....Reminds me when i clocked an identical countach in black [5000s] on a "B" plate back in 1986 when i was 15 in rainham "Essex" parked in driveway, I knocked on his door and asked him if i could take some picks, He was kind enough to park the car on the street for me to snap away......Should have asked him to take me for a spin, he might have done?...GUTTED.

I blame Cannonball Run for my love for these cars!!! ;)

Ended with a smile on my face. Great camera work - even better on restoration. Good job!

Please note that this is a re-upload of the original video made by Yves the owner of this marvel. Please watch his video too (the original): ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-H9TqQDgxNfc.html I only re-uploaded it for backup purposes, cause is so wonderful I think has to be viewed by everyone possible.

Quel talent , je suis franchement admiratif , j'avais 16 ans quand elle a été produite,et je révais d'avoir cette voiture , mais aussi la Ferrari daytona, et franchement entre les 2 je ne saurais laquelle choisir , merci pour cette belle vidéo!!

Wow, an amazing restoration on a truly beautiful classic exotic automobile! Congratulations and thank you for sharing this dream car! Also, I loved the ending, I'm loving that exhaust!:)

This Countach looks and sounds better than any Lambo today.

Great video guys,really well done. That's an awesome looking Countach. Saved from the scrap heap almost. Bravo!

Makes me really happy to see this :D

There's a LOT to be told behind each of the pics shown at the beginning chronicling the work done. Just fixing that broken camshaft bearing cap would be a major piece of work. First you have to procure a new one if not make one from scratch, then trim off a bit from all the rest at the parting line, then CAREFULLY line bore/hone the whole assembly straight again. I live in the S.F. Bay Area, which is a pretty big metro area, and I can't even find a shop to cross-drill a crankshaft here any more. Getting one to take on a job like that would be absolutely hopeless. And then there were the many other tasks in bringing that car back to good condition that would've been as bad or worse perhaps.

Gorgeous! I hope you built a better driveway for it :)

Beautiful! After 25 years, this is still my dream car. Well done.

Very interesting.. great job he did by himself. The color looks a little orange like Arancio Miura perhaps. Which would make sense since the Countach would succeed that car. Great color, I like the black vents and the wing supports in black and not body color. Really makes the color pop.

Incredible! Thank you for bringing another Italian beauty back to life!

BELLISSIMO !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 10 thumbs up fella, you just kept another example alive so the next generation can see what we grow up with in our wall posters!

Awesome! I would drive along with the windows down as well with that concert behind me. Thanks for the video :)

There is no shame. All a matter of opinion. Badass car, badass techs, badass video. So pretty much, all badass. I would LOVE to put a basket case in my garage for such a turn out. DAMN FINE job gents ;).

Beautifully done restoration! Thanks for sharing such an amazing car.

...what a beautiful beast.

beautiful job--a true labor of love!--first countach I have ever seen that didn't smoke!--love it

Restoring the timeless beauty

Supercars of the past. They had personality back then.

Superbe restauration! Bravo pour le boulot ! Génial de voir un tel projet à la Réunion. Encore Bravo !

To those haters who posted negative comments....this guy brought to new life a dream car.Try to restore to original the simpliest object, then you think of a Countach ....Hats off from Uruguay

Io credo che sia una delle automobili piu' belle mai costruite!!!! Bravissimo! Saluti dall' Italia

I mean really. Does this car ever age. Timeless design & a sound that can only make you smile

BRAVO! N1. Ty for the time to put up the vid. well worth it. Fabulous job Bossman!....

Thanks for giving this car the love it deserves. Well done.

The most Epic of engine sounds ever!!!! I was so in Love with this car as a Kid..

Great Job!! But my favorite is the last 50 seconds LOUD with headphones on.....Wooooooo !

fantastic video... respect to the person who brought that lamborghini back to life.

Awesome job on the restoration! Your driveway situation would drive me absolutely nuts though being a car enthusiast. ;)

love the Countach, it defined the term "Supercar" in the 70's with its Bullpower, its futuristic shape and the scissordoors =) gotta love it

Still more fun to look at than the newer ones. This was on the bedroom wall of the majority of American boys in the 1980's, next to Bo Derek and Charlie's Angels posters.

That fellow did more than restore a car. He saved a work of art from the brink of destruction!! I have to assume that the car had to have been involved in some kind of flood, storm, or other water related event as everything seemed to have rust and/or water in it. Wonderful job! Not really a fan of the color but a wonderful resto. regardless. :^)

The car of my childhood dreams. Good job fellows.

Great job. Lamborghini's should never be abandoned but you have put life into that car you found!

Excellent job! Looks and sounds fantastic! Love those tires too.

Très beau travail, chapeau! En plus vous avez le décor qui va avec!

instant throttle response! get those butterflys to open at "exactly" the same time! well done.....

Wow!, lot of work done, it still looks great, shoots flames and sounds almost like a Murciélago. really nice

Beautiful, beautiful car.

Franchement la classe aux personnes qui ont bossé sur cette sublime beauté . Bravo

you can have any colour seats THAT SOUND MAN BEST EVER, I SALUTE YOU SIR FOR ALL THE HARD WORK,AND FOR US TO LISTEN TO THAT FANTASTIC OVER RUN CRACKLE!!!!!!!!!!!!! THANKYOU

This video made me go fire up my countach at 1:20am. I love my car out of my collection of exotics, my countach is the one that has it all. GREAT VIDEO, AND GREAT TALENT

Respect for doing such a Great restoration job👍🏻👍🏻

Bravo, applaudissements.

Great work, turned out great, love that sound!

That engine....pfff...piece of art! Hats Off boys

The shot of motor being installed at 1:50- I've seen ships with smaller motors!

Yes Bravo Indeed ! Takes a brave man to restore one of these. Beautiful Job !

Wow! Trés bonne restauration! Bonne couleur pour le voiture. Et la musique de les echappements est extraordinaire!

Let the car talk , no daft jokes or quotes, well done Senor

Quel beau travail, BRAVO !!! elle ne doit pas passer inaperçue à la REUNION ....

Wow I actually felt ill at the first photos. Then around 3:45 when driving got better. Its nice when the big guy from above gives people the gift. I still have a soft spot for Pantera GT with 351 cleveland :) thanks for the post J

takes a man with great wisdom to restore a Lamborghini much less a classic one great job keep up the great work

Beautiful car and awesome sound engine .. Hmmm i love it.

Now THAT is how a supercar shoudl sound, thanks for sharing!

That's my dream car. Great Job and thanks to keep this beauty alive.

Quel travail! Sur l'île de la Réunion, où il n'y a probablement pas beaucoup de pièces. Sublime vidéo le long de la côte. Merci!

that was a lot of work! was thinking who would be bothered.. then I heard the engine! sigh..sweet sounds! Beautiful job to get another one back on the road how and where it should be.

What a glorious exhaust sound!!
