eBay Find of the Day: Bullrun Lamborghini Murcielago
If you've seen any of the Bullrun episodes that have aired on Spike TV (Tuesday nights at 10), or even the promotional ads, you might recognize today's eBay find. Although the series has just gotten underway, we can already surmise that the Team #10 Lamborghini Murcielago piloted by owner Jeff Marshall and co-pilot John Eltringham survived relatively intact. And for the right bid, it could be yours.
There are still nice weeks worth of episodes left, so no hints about who walks away with the grand prize are revealed in the listing. We already know that the car had been exhibiting clutch problems in the first two segments, so it's nice to see that Jeff has replaced the $10,000 clutch already. The Murci has a fresh set of rubber too, but needs a couple of other fixes. With some noticeable nose damage that will most likely require a replacement, the team had the other Bullrunners sign the future wallhanging. A new windshield and some paint are also mentioned as things the buyer will need to have fixed.
The car itself is #15 of the batch of fifty 40th Anniversary Murcielagos made in 2003/4. Upgrades include an Al Burtoni exhaust, re-mapped computer, K&N airfilters, new plugs, and new front wheel nuts. The seller adds that others have confirmed this is one of the strongest Murcis around, but he won't be needing this Bull on his Washington ranch. His Cayenne Turbo S will work better in that environment and make it a little easier to settle arguments amongst his three children over who gets to ride along.
Thanks for the tip, TestShoot!

Okay so what's a Ferrari logo doing on the Lambo's hood?
I've always liked Lambo's current cars over Ferrari's, Clarkson-esque waffling be damned.

I just looked at the ebay listing. It has the Calvin guy pissing on the Ferrari logo, it makes a bit more sense now. Now he just looks like one of those redneck's with the sticker in the back window of their pickup truck.

The clutch was slipping on this rust bucket on the show. I'm not a Lamborghini person so I wouldn't bother with this shit.

Talk mad smack about the cars owners if you will but if you want a great deal on an Italian supercar and have a few bucks to put into it why not? It's beat to $hit so I can't imagine it will sell for anything close to sticker. You could probably buy this for a steal and put it to work on the track or something.

No rust, the car's lived in SF/eastbay except for road trips. Very strong motor (100hp over stock?) and sounds awesome.
It's not a show car or a museum piece. It's a sports car, made for driving aggressively, and that's how he uses it. He drives it like it was meant to be driven, and then he maintains it well, replacing anything that's in danger of wearing out. You know, like an enthusiast.
And the stickers are just fun, for the show.

I was just reading thoruhg the list of specs, K+N Air Filter? Seriously? a lamborghini, and they bother with a K+N air filter? that just seems ridiculous to me. I somehow doubt that it performs any better than whatever lamborghini put in it in the first place
