This Diablo VT Roadster left the Sant'Agata factory at the end of 1996 in the striking color scheme of Blue Chiaro over cream white bolsters with matching blue center leather seats and was delivered new to California in the summer of 1997. Remaining out West between California, New Mexico and Nevada for the first five years of its life. It would then head to the East Coast in August of 2002, residing in Virginia and Florida until 2004 when it was acquired by its long-time Virginian enthusiast.

The owner of the car for the past 15 years has been a careful and meticulous custodian. This Diablo has seen regular and systematic maintenance performed with receipts of file totaling over $163,000. In addition to regular service, the Diablo has been subject to a selection of performance and cosmetic enhancements including color-matched three-piece 19" HRE wheels, Sebring Tuning exhaust, carbon fiber instrument cluster and center console covers, upgraded Pioneer sound system with head unit mounted screen and back-up camera, and a screen mounted in front of the passenger.

This rear-wheel drive, 200mph monster of the 1990s is complete with its owner handbook and leather folio as well as heaps of receipts and recently upgraded with a Heffner Tuned exhaust.

 

The extensive CARFAX report records the history of the vehicle from new. It should be noted that, as with many Diablos with odometers that read in kilometers, confusion as to the actual mileage thanks to incorrect readings by the DMV and flip-flopping conversions from kilometers to miles and back again has rendered the car to be titled as "true mileage unknown" with the odometer showing 38,000 MILES. (In 2013 the speedometer was converted from KM to MPH) Maintenance records and CarFax verify those miles to be correct.
