This Lamborghini Countach 5000S was special-ordered new by U.S. Lamborghini importer Joe Nastasi of Long Island City, New York. Its 4,754cc dual overhead camshaft V-12 engine with six Weber sidedraft carburetors and backed by a five-speed manual transaxle. There are four-wheel ventilated disc brakes and an independent suspension with coil springs and telescopic shock absorbers. It left the factory finished in an uncommon color combination of Bianco Perlato (Pearl White) over a Rosso (Red) interior with matching Bianco Perlato wheels.
This was Mr. Nastasi's personal car and since it was also to be the New York International Auto Show car, Mr. Nastasi asked Lamborghini to build it with a special feature, the Coda Plexi (Plexiglas Tail). Although there was resistance to adding this feature, Mr. Nastasi was an important client, so they adhered to his request. Coda Plexi referred to the red acrylic panel between the taillights, giving the car a unique look. Another uncommon feature was the straight-through Ansa F1 sport exhaust from new.
Shortly after the Countach was completed, it was flown to John F. Kennedy International Airport and arrived in July of 1984. Mr. Nastasi kept it on display at his dealership and the car was shown at the 1985 New York International Auto Show. The car remained with Mr. Nastasi for 28 years, until 2012 and during that time he drove it sparingly. Currently, it has under 5,900 km on the odometer.
The car's second owner had it sent to Autosport Designs Inc. of Huntington Station, New York, for refreshening, road testing, and cosmetic attention. The work it received totaled over $56,000, including a repaint in its original color, a carburetor rebuild, and the refinishing of the air box assemblies, among other items. IN 2014, it received new tires and wheel reconditioning. The current caretaker acquired the car in 2015.By Daniel Vaughan | Nov 2021
