you did a beautiful job on this, loved your video!

Another crossover collaboration that I can fully agree with.

Such a great job! Loved the wheel cleaner breakdown.

Just saw the detailing video on your channel. UKpostsception :O

What is a seat?

He worked really hard, climbed the ladder from carspotting, then online reviews, then video reviews, then tons of viewers, and then his own auction site. I completely agree

@@filmgunproductions4448and if you watch his porsche carrera gt video and see that he even used models at his marriage years ago you know he definitely deserves his.

Agera is actually Doug

Mommy and daddy gave him a huge head start but ok

@HonkieDorie they bought him a little camera. Lol what a head start.

Vector W8 has entered the chat. But yeah, 2 of my favorite cars of all time. So much wow.

I don’t get it. Like he’s purposely knocking it down because he doesn’t want it to tie the Vector.

He often reserves a 10 in styling for cars that are also classicly beautiful (Aston Martin Vanquish) or simply so outlandish it's not even in the same category as anything else (Vector W8). The Countach, while possibly the collest looking car ever, does fit into a category, that being wedge shaped, and is far to aggressive and angular to be considered classically beautiful. At least, that's where I think he went with that

@@jiskithehusky9094 The F40 is my favorite car, and I would never try to claim that it's classically beautiful, yet it has a 10. It's beautiful because it's evocative of its time, but it doesn't have what the Daytona or the 275 GTB have.

@@nickpatrick7021 i also love both F40 , F50, F333SP, and the Dino 250 GTO. 3 of those 4 Ferrari cars were also ever appeared in OUTRUN 2 and OutRun 2006 Coast to Coast.

Race cars these days sound like vacuum cleaners. This sounds like you got "POWER!"

Roughly $412k CAD in today’s money. 💰

My experience was cutting a picture of it out and putting it on the wall in 1987 when i was 17.

What does downdraft mean?

@@TiagoF-jk2zo carbs on engines like this V12, V6's and V8's are mounted in the center. The chokes face down, intake at the top. Hence, downdraft. The Countach had six Weber twin-choke carbs, meaning each carb has two choke tubes, one for each side. Hope that makes sense.

@@TiagoF-jk2zo the carburetors downdraft vs. the earlier sidedraft versions the downs were mounted on the top of the engine. It wasn't my car... but I knew the guy who bought it.

He won't, his site gets top billing now😢

100% agree. Or just take it out altogether. It's pretty meaningless without an explanation.

Now you get an even longer summary, instead of me just saying "Like every car in this class, it gets a 5 out of 10 for acceleration." Plus now I can devote more time to quirks!

​@@DougDeMuro don't worry about these comments Doug, they're just forcing you to bring it back FOR 2 YEARS STRAIGHT. They're literally the same people who mocked you're opinions and even called you a clown for it, they're the classic "everyone hates it until it's gone"

@@DougDeMuro Believe it or not Doug, there's no time limit on the video. We can have both more quirks as well as Dougscore justifications. Give us the score breakdown with commentary! We all miss it!

23:33 love it...

This car is as special as Doug himself.

@@purwantiallan5089 ok

Doug, the type of guy to review cars for a living and still not own a pair of actual driving shoes. Running shoes are some of the worst shoes possible for a narrow pedal box.

Yep. The Countach in Gran Turismo 5 is also one of the most OP Supercars.

more like a sore on your arse that won't go away

Just to think it has 50 year birthday (like me) next year is incredible. The Countach still looks futuristic.

No it isn't. That car is trash!

Amennn !!! 😀 Just needs a Biturbo onto it, 2 b perfect !!! 😀

Next in his life, president of the United States

You can take his poster down.

@@garytryan huh?

What you said is very good, I stopped in your comment area, I want to ask do you think feelings are more important or performance is more important?

he's done 3 or 4 videos on new Ford GT just because 1 is not enough

I think he realized that redoing the reviews every 2-4 years (when he changes his format) gets big views, even for people who have already sent he review.

i kinda wish he would do such stuff only on the weekends and during the week we get the new stuff as normaly, i just hope this doesnt become a trend....

No one’s complaining tho

Yeah, and it's getting old - even when it's an interesting car like this one.

23:52 ...back in the day (or even today) had (or have) to be the old fashioned man of steel with hairy chest (or woman with big balls) to drive this damn animal 23:33 !

@@bradford_shaun_murray lol….I think that still applies today and forever more…

@@ScottieDeux oh, for sure.

I am also born in 1976.

Yup, not many sun visor mirrors can be laid flat for uh, well, let's just say trimming nose hairs.

Someone probably grabbed the mirrors...

sniff sniff

They were removable for a reason.

Many of these were driven in Florida in the 80s. You are 100% correct

He said himself that the cars he reviews tend to go for more than other similar cars

They sell for about 25 percent more! That's huge!

You can just check yourself. It usually gets around 50-100 percents up in value

He gets: 1. Advertising for his site 2. Money off of views 3. Greater revenue on the car sale. Doug is nothing if not a good salesman.

@@stanleyspadowski235 I figured these reviews are now twofold. 1. Interesting older car review and more importantly for Doug, another video for views/revenue along with the added profit from the boost in bids for said car in the videos.

James the kind of guy that farms comment points on UKposts instead of going back to Reddit where he belongs. Lazy loser

first thing on the morning on a Monday Doug is 14 feet tall

And shorter on weekends.

​@@that.guy11 between four and five he is approximately 24/5 feet tall.

​@Xyzex Wednesday's between 6ft 3 inches and 6ft 4 inches, depending on the wind speed.

Practicality is very important, it is inevitable, compared with the current models, which one do you prefer?

@@Erin-dw9vx

@@Erin-dw9vx He actually said this aspect IS practical. It just takes physical effort. Maybe you should ask if exciting exotic car action is better or sleeping is better?

Indeed. Big brain move!

@@heavnxbound and also 3000IQ move.

many people, including myself, simply think it's worse looking compared to the earlier, cleaner versions

And even though he states it as THE coolest car EVER, he only gives it a '9'

@@bojanarezina2352 yeah I can see that - a preference for the cleaner earlier models. Personally, I like all the craziness that was added. For me, I grew up in the 80s and so these versions were the first ones I knew. So they just feel right to me.

​@@bojanarezina2352 Exactly. First generations without sideskirts, wings, flares, huge scoops, etc. They're truly beautiful and still brutal looking. The latest one, including the anniversary version redesigned by Pagani just don't look good to me. Distasteful. But to each their own, I guess.

Whoa, simmer down with almost 50 years old. I'm 41 and that's not almost 50 😂....I guess I didn't realize they came out in 74. So that's OK.

No car in history has looked uglier

The Jacquoranda is the kind of guy to skip straight to the DougScore and watch the rest of the review at his own convenience.

I'm of two minds about the styling. The original Countach LP400? That's a 10, no ifs ands or buts. Gandini at his best. In the later years, with all the "cool stuff" added, not a 10. But to give the Vector a 10 and this a 9 doesn't seem fair either.

@@streetzavvy The praise he gave it in the rest of the video doesn't mean he didn't also put it under the F40 in styling.

Dang you’re right

As soon as I saw the wing and the chocolate interior, I knew it was the same car. Curious to see what it goes for. Ammo NYC touted it as an 800K car

Funny. I first saw this on Cars and Bids. Then I was prompted for the AMMO video, but I figured this would get a Doug Demuro video, and I wanted to see this one first. LOL

The Countach still legendary despite running only 380bhp.

i always skip the cars n bids part...

🤚

✋️

especially if you lived in Miami at the time

👃🏼

I'm sure also knew how other people were able to _pay_ for a Countach.

Why it exploded? It is such a low RPM engine I would think it is a somewhat reliable engine. Best wishes.

@@ajax700 It is normally very reliable. This one was supercharged and the engine builder didn't correctly re-assemble the engine. The crank bearings were either too tight, or wrong tolerance. Hard to prove that in a court of law when talking about modified cars.

Exactly. All these people complaining he's done the Countach twice before are out of their minds. There is plenty of stuff in here not in the others, Doug's outlook may evolve over time, and it's a #$$$%#$#**&^* Countach. And so what if its on C&B? People just like to piss and moan about ridiculous stuff sometimes.

6’1 with shoes 👟 on? Or bare foot? 🦶

Same here: saw it at the Buffalo NY auto show in jr high school, I must've been 13-14. Really put things into perspective because with the couple of posters I had of it on my bedroom walls and seeing it in movies, esp in The Cannoball Run, the thing was a lot smaller than I thought it'd be! Soon the posters were replaced with Iron Maiden and Metallica.

not a sole cares, this isn't all about you though you seem to think it is

​@tommyt1971 it's weird isn't it, how something ends up being smaller in person? I thought the same thing the first time I saw it, I think the poster in my room was bigger lol. I met Selma Hayak in 96 on a USO tour and couldn't get over how tiny she is too.

@@slowery43 I care. I thought it was nice story.

My Countach posters were never replaced, but my big 25th anniversary posterboard seemed to disappear during a move after I got married. And I also lost some photos I took of a Countach I saw at a local car show which was on display when I was 10 or so in around 91. Crazy that the two photos I took of the white 25th were possibly the first photos I ever took in my life, and it was stupid of me to have left my photo album that contained them at my Dad's place which he rented out and ditched my stuff which was stored in the shed. But the Countach memory which will be with me forever was the day that my Mum pulled up at lights on the Highway next to a white Countach and I was able to see it on the road and see it launch and speed off whilst my Mum's escort got left in the dust only for her to risk a speeding fine by speeding to catch up to it so my brother and I could look at it for as long as possible 😂 And it was this memory which saw me buy my brother the Lego Countach as a gift, because if I had the money I would buy him a real one, as how else is one to show love than to give the love they want to be given?

A bit of an exaggeration but a F40 and F50 definitely turn more heads!

You should check out Shmee’s Huracan STO 😅

Doug is the kind of guy to eat food

Doug is the kind of guy who drives a Countach in socks

10:10 woah

I guess your poster isnt signed with car name 😂

@@xiukn8

@@xiukn8 yep 😂

I remember the first time I saw one of these, in 1986. I was going to see my Mom and was waiting at a bus stop, and some guy was showing off to his friend by driving it up and down the road at license-losing speeds. It was a 30mph limit, and he was probably going backwards and forwards at 80mph. I was fascinated: it was a spaceship occupying a world of Datsuns. It made a Porsche look positively pedestrian.

In what way was it revolutionary? It looked cool, sure, but it didnt do anything revolutionary

True. I'm not sure which Countach is the definitive, or at least my favorite. Perhaps the LP500..?

Revolutionary looking 😂. I’d love to have one mostly just to look at it.

@@sesto194 Even just the styling alone was revolutionary.

I agree. I love the early ones. The periscopio for example.

A lot of reviewers of later Countaches would mention how they missed the clean lines of the original 1974 version, so you're far from alone. Supposedly, the wing actually cut top speed a little, although it added high-speed stability (and, for a lot of people, upped the cool factor). On the other hand, foregoing the wing probably meant you could always close the engine cover, even with the trunklid up!

First thing I said when he opened the glove box was "uuhh is that a lightsaber in there?"

Aerodynamic appearance, very smooth body, do you want to own a car like this

it's all about the outside

There’s also Sideswipe which was a red Countach
