"Lost" Espada finds a loving home
Thursday, January 5, 2012 at 11:36AM My friend Syed over at IEDEI posted a heartwarming follow-up story about the car below, which he and I respectively featured on our sites a while back after a visit to Gullwing Motor Cars in Queens. The metallic green car, which had a Chevy V8 swapped in for the original Lamborghini V12, was very straight and not rotten, but looking shabby as it languished outside in the lot.
Had I the resources at the time (or now, come ot think of it), I would have loved to take this car under my wing and breath new life into it. Thankfully, its new owner has done exactly that. He's doing a light rolling restoration and keeping the car mostly as found (she sure polished up nice!), and although we'd love to see the original V12 back in the car, the current owner says the lighter, smaller V8 improves the handling and weight distribution. We wish him all the best of adventures in his wonderful new ride!
