    Do NOT sell it. It’ll be worth so much more in 10-15 years. You’ll be able to retire on it 💯
  • @RichiPuppi
    If you have to sell it you have to sell it, but don’t buy a fake one.
  • @mulletsquirrel
    My suggestion is to remove the original Countach seat (keep it safe in storage) and replace it with a lower seat so you fit better while driving.

    I remember seeing a Countach for the first time. I was surprised at how small it is and how much better it looked in person than in photographs.
  • @RealStuntPanda
    The Fiero is a great car to use as a base for a kit car. The Ferrari 308 whole body replacement kits are hugely popular along with the Countach kits. I put a little twist on the kit car thing though: I put a Pontiac Fiero GT whole body kit on my Ferrari 308, no one can tell it's a kit car.

    24:07 (He never finished his thought) The three motors you can swap into a Fiero are: 1) the 1991-95 Cadillac 4.9L (that's the one that was in the first (unfinished) Countach replica shown in the video), 2) the 6-cyl 3800 Supercharged (from 1995-2008 GM FWD cars), 3) the 5.3L LS4 V8 (from the '05-'09 GM FWD cars).

    Heyyy so good so see you back Hoovie! I’ve grown used to 2 videos per week but you make us wait now. Absence does make the heart grow fonder! We appreciate you!
  • @chrisphipps4589
    Good to see you Hoovie, it's been a while. Hope things are getting better for you. Don't sell the lambo, you will regret it when it's worth 2 million in 5 years time!
  • @s.d.3236
    As a fiero owner, yes they are much easier on the anxiety. Also, just put the supercharged 3.8L in it and you'll have more power than it could possibly need. That kit's exterior does look really good though.
  • @DolllarStone
    Begging for a video again that countach was. Thank you Tyler! Its what keeps me watching
  • @stuartblack9258
    Would be a sad day it you had to sell the Countach especially as we know how much you love it! Some of the work that goes into these replicas is impressive!😂 Keep up the great work Tyler! Much love from the U.K 🇬🇧❤
  • @dodgeguyz
    Someone did an amazing job on the exterior fit and finish. They even made the V-6 sound legit. But they completely dropped the ball on the interior! A good interior remodel would make that look the part.
  • @TheInja
    I actually just picked up a replica Countach project last week! Can't wait to dig into it!
  • @randyfitz8310
    So great to see you and Video Bob; really fun stuff!
  • @chickentonight22
    This is one of the cars you should NOT sell Hoovie, you're definitely going to regret it!

    My former landlord had a number of exotic cars that he had restored, and one of them was a Bizzarini (1960s tube chassis with aluminum body panels and a Chevrolet 327). He was hit by a pickup truck when driving the Bizzarini, and had to do some serious work to get it back to perfect. He later built a Cobra kit car, which came out very nice because of his attention to detail, and this was the car he actually drove and enjoyed.

    Anyone who can say the Alpine in their Countach ate a tape, while playing Danger Zone, has truly lived well.

    My first amateur rally build was a Fiero when I was 16. I still have that car, but it's a few generations of rebuilds later with a manual gearbox Toyota 2GR V6 I planned on using for a Celica FWD build. All new suspension and everything to give a solid mix of grip and comfort for touring. Body mostly original but with a slight different height (I liked it when it was actually raised a bit for rally, so it's basically a wannabe Lancia Stratos in terms of height and tire style). With some common complaints fixed, they're not bad little cars for what they offer for the price. I have two Opel GTs (One all stock, one with a turbo LE5 1.4l I4) that blow both the Fieros I own away in a lot of categories, but all of them are fun to drive.
