Chevy powered Espada?

[k.mojo]

Hello all!

I don't own a Lambo or really know much about them (except having sat in the Cannonball Run Countach once.....) but I have a question. In about 1996 or 1997 I was at the Charlotte, NC Autofair (at the speedway) and someone had brought an Espada to sell that was completely trashed with a Chevy engine sticking through the (butchered) hood. This car looked like something Mel Gibson would have driven in the Road Warrior. Black primer and one seat inside with a roll-bar if I remember correctly. I didn't have a camera handy or I would have some pictures to post.

I know the Lambo owners club must be pretty small, so I figure somebody must know the history of this car. Anyone else know the Espada I'm describing? Just curious what became of it.....


Thanks, Klaus
