INCOMIGN INVENTORY......--Black with Black leather and White
stitching, Black carpeting, 31,000 kilometers (19,000 miles),
5.2-liter DOHC 48-valve V-12 engine with 450bhp, 5-speed manual
transmission, Custom interior upgrades, 1 of 48.The LM 002 was
first introduced as a concept car known as the Cheetah in the late
1970s. The Cheetah was a mid-engine truck designed to be used by
the military. These plans fell through so Lamborghini decided to
make a civilian version and resurrect these plans in the mid-1980s.
The mid-engine Chrysler V8 layout was changed in favor of a front
engine Lamborghini V12 sourced from none other than the Countach.
The LM 002 boasted a 76-gallon fuel tank and specially designed
Pirelli Scorpion tiresa run-flat design reinforced with Kevlar that
could also handle extreme desert heat. Just over 300 examples of
the LM 002 were produced between 1986 and 1993. In 1990, a slightly
more refined version of the truck was launched and gradually phased
in called the LM American. These trucks were fitted with sloping
hoods thanks to Lamborghini's US-friendly LIE 52/12 electronic fuel
injection system (similar to that of the recently introduced
Diablo). LM Americans were also fitted with attractive OZ eight
spoke alloy wheels and a nicer interior with much leather and wood.
Customers could go to any lengths to personalize their machinery.
Only about 48 were built to the so-called LM American or LM/A
specifications and delivered to the United States. No SUV has since
come close to Lamborghini's outrageous monster - it remains truly
unique.This LM 002 was produced in August of 1990 and has been
previously owned by Al Unser Jr. Previously it has also been in
collector ownership and maintained regardless of use within his
private collection and was treated to all new leather including the
center console. Seat inserts are done in Alcantara with white
diamond stitching. The interior was dressed with matching floor
mats. The paint was coated with Ceramic coating. A new set of
correct Pirelli Scorpion 345/60 tires were fitted (Pirelli released
a new batch of OEM specific LM 002 at this time and this LM was
fortunate enough to have these installed). It was also fitted with
an upgraded Alpine Bluetooth radio with upgraded speakers. A
factory owners manual is included. This LM drives excellently and
all systems work as they should. It is in superb condition
throughout and is ready for immediate cruising or off-road use or
to wow anybody at your local Cars & Coffee events. We have
owned many LM 002s over the years, this is one of the best, if not
the best we have owned to
date.
