Man Builds Lamborghini in Basement, Then Has to Dig It Out
by Evan Shamoon, posted Nov 5th 2008 at 6:39PM




In what could just as easily be the plot of a John Hughes movie from the '80s, a man in Wisconsin named Ken Imhoff spent 17 years building a Lamborghini in his basement (he'd apparently fallen in love with it upon seeing the movie 'Cannonball Run'). Then, after he finished assembling it, he had to deal with the next challenge: namely, how to get the car out.

To sum up, he ended up hiring an excavator to dig down into the foundation of his house, at which point the car was itself pulled out with the excavator.

"I was like an expectant father watching it come through the wall," Imhoff told The Telegraph of the experience. "I was literally shaking and running the supposed plan over and over in my head. "Have I overlooked anything? Is some of the wall going to fall on my work of seventeen years?..."

With his neighbors gathered around to see what lay beneath the car's covering blanket, he says the whole experience was rather like an artist unwrapping his long-awaited masterpiece. "I had never seen it in the light of day either."

Hopefully he's still deep enough into his midlife crisis to use the thing to score a few chicks.

Here it is finished, taken shortly before I sold it in '05: 



Somewhere I have some nice grainy in-progress prints taken while in the kitchen (but I gots no scanner). I started it in the fall of '93, finished it in early '95 and rode it quite a bit until its sale. It was 90CI with way too much cam, carb, and compression. A cantankerous beast, but it handled surprisingly well and I miss its character from time to time.
