Diablo 6.0 Reproduction Diablo 6.0 Reproduction What you are buying is a Lamborghini Diablo 6.0 Reproduction. This is a hand built car that is powered by a state of the art 320 HP 5.7 liter aluminum block LS1 V8. This car was built as a show car and has won first in class in nearly every show it was entered in. At it’s debut event at the Association of Hand Crafted Automobiles at Knott’s Berry Farms car show in 2004, it won best in the nation. This was the first reproduction that was actually constructed on an exact replica of a Lamborghini chassis. Because the chassis is exact to Lamborghini’s design and the body is a a near perfect reproduction, this car is viewed as an original Diablo 6.0. This is a quote from the Lamborghini Dealership in Denver when he saw a picture of the car at Knott’s. “HOLY COW THAT IS BETTER LOOKING BETTER THAN THE REAL THING “ This vehicle is in pristine shape and has less than 600 miles on the car. It is licensed and registered in the State of Texas and currently insured with Progressive. Dale Van Blokland is the builder and is well known in the industry.

Black 6.0 in 2004 and the yellow SV in 2007. Copyright 2008 - Dale Van Blokland - All rights reserved This is a hand built reproduction that is constructed on a custom fabricated chassis. Look at the chart below for some basic cost comparisons. $89,900 2001 Diablo 6.0 Reproduction The Black and Gold 6.0s are current listings in a National publication. The Black car has 6900 miles and no wing. The Gold car has 6300 miles and a full transmission rebuild. Fresh Engine out service just completed. This is with 6300 miles! If you are a collector of authentic vehicles, then this $199,900 2001 Lamborghini Diablo 6.0 VT Coupe may not be the vehicle for you. However if you want the look of an authentic vehicle and would like to be able to actually drive it and enjoy it then this vehicle may be your solution. The number of completed cars that have been built with a reliable V8 on the replica chassis is very limited. This is a top of the line vehicle that will be a joy for the new owner. $259,888 2001 Lamborghini Diablo 6.0 SE #15 Copyright 2008 - Dale Van Blokland - All rights reserved Price: $89,900 Summary: This car is considered by some to be one of the finest reproductions ever built. It is an award winning car built by one of the most respected builders in the industry. Because I am no longer building cars for sale and because Lamborghini has essentially shut down all manufactures of replicas, a build of this caliber will be increasingly hard to find The car comes with a custom car cover as well as floor mats with the Red Diablo Bull. Because this is a show car, it does not come with an audio system nor keyless entry. I have over 2000 pictures of the car during the build stage and at various car shows. To see some of these pictures, please click here and select the links at the top of the page The car is located just outside of Austin, Texas. If sold in Texas, arrangements could be made for delivery at an additional cost. Outside of Texas, buyer will need to arrange for transportation. To see the car in person, please drop me an email to arrange a time. If flying in, I will arrange to pick you up at the Austin airport. eMail: [email protected] Copyright 2008 - Dale Van Blokland - All rights reserved.

  • Lamborghini Diablo 6
    Lamborghini Murciélago The name 2 The concept 3 The design 4 The engine 6 The electronics 8 The transmission 9 Chassis and suspension 10 Brakes and Safety 12 Equipment and Comfort 14 The performance 16 Enclosure: Technical Data Sheet The name In the late afternoon of the 5th October 1879, after a fiercely fought contest in the arena of Cordoba, a bull named Murciélago from the stud farm of Joaquin del Val di Navarra had his life spared by the famous matador Rafael Molina “Lagartijo”. This was a very rare occurrence in bullfighting, and an honour accorded only to those bulls that have shown exceptional courage and spirit in the arena. And Murciélago was indeed such a bull. He was subsequently donated to the breeder Antonio Miura, and went on to father a formidable line of fighting bulls that extends right down to the present day. The bull has always been a symbol of power, aggression and courage: characteristics that are shared by all cars of the Lamborghini marque. In depictions of bullfights, bull and matador together form an emblematic unit, an antithetic combination of brute force and elegance. And it is this symbiosis of violence and beauty that makes the spectacle of bullfighting so fascinating.
