The First-Ever Lamborghini Countach LP500S

The Lamborghini Countach received its third update with the debut of the LP500S at the 1982 Geneva Motor Show. What would go on to be the most iconic design of the 15-year production run featured a larger V12 bored out to 4.8 liters, making 375 horsepower at 7,500 RPM — a massive output for the time. 0-60 times dropped to less than five seconds, with a top speed in excess of 180 MPH — for those that had the gall to keep the accelerator floored for that long. This 1982 LP500S is the same car that sat on display at the Geneva show, one of the first five LP500Ss, built and one of five to wear a "5L" badge. The car was sold new in Italy before being shipped to the US, where it was bought by rock royalty when Quiet Riot lead guitarist Carlos Cavazo. The original Weber carbs were swapped to a BMW-type fuel injection system to make the car California-legal, before spending 20 years in storage at a California repair shop. The current owner bought the car in as-is condition and is now offering it for sale.

Zager Easy Play Guitars

Denny Zager rose to fame as part of the duo Zager & Evans in the late '60s, yet it's his guitars that have perhaps had the largest musical impact. Having applied his know-how to easy-to-play acoustic guitars, he's retiring this year — but is leaving with an oft-requested black lacquer version of his cutaway ZAD900CE model. With a lower string height, greater distance between the strings, a slim neck, and an intelligent bracing system to help movement, it's imminently playable, producing the same rich, warm sound that's made it a beloved favorite. Each lucky buyer will also receive a robust bonus package that includes a digitally humidified case, extra Zager PillowTouch strings, three carbon-tipped picks, a truss key, a stainless capo, a leather strap, a digital tuner, and a free lifetime membership to Mr. Zager's guitar lesson library..
