Times: " Sports Car Esconced as Art in Mansion By Roy Rivenburg, Times Staff Writer May 13, 2006 Some millionaires decorate their mansions with rare paintings. Richard Moriarty bolted a 1974 Lamborghini to the wall of his Newport Beach estate early Friday. Because Home Depot doesn't sell kits to hang cars as artwork, Moriarty hired a 70-ton crane to lower the Italian sports car through a skylight in his living room. Earlier, the car's engine was removed and transformed into a "200-mph coffee table" for guests who prefer their drinks "shaken not stirred," said Moriarty, an heir to the family that developed South Coast Plaza. Getting the Lamborghini into the house took about an hour, but the project was conceived months ago, when architect Fleetwood Joiner began designing Moriarty's new home, $2-million worth of steel-and-concrete that will overlook Newport's Back Bay when construction finishes later this year. "This was one of the original ideas for the house," Joiner said. "The skylight was designed to fit the car." Joiner has installed offbeat elements in previous mansion projects — including indoor rifle ranges, bowling alleys and a 28-foot-high interior waterfall — but the Lamborghini is "one of a kind," he said. The car will hang over a solid glass staircase leading to Moriarty's wine cellar. The car will also plug into the home's electrical system so its inside lights can be switched on. Has gasoline gotten so expensive that it's cheaper to turn a Lamborghini into a wall sconce than to drive it? Not quite. Moriarty, 58, is known for his irreverent tastes. In the 1980s, he organized exotic costume parties, such as his "Pimps, Hookers, Drug Dealers and Lawyers Ball," that drew about 3,000 revelers. As a teen, he toiled in the lima bean fields that his uncle, Henry Segerstrom, transformed into South Coast Plaza. More recently, he planted a small vineyard on his 3.5-acre estate and began bottling prize-winning wines under such labels as "Wretched Excess" and "The Idle Rich." The fermented grapes are aged in a 75-foot-long cave locked with a former KGB prison key. Outside the cave, catfish and koi swim in a lagoon fed by a 200-foot stream built by Moriarty, who owns an orchid nursery and landscaping business. A pirate flag flaps nearby and chickens strut around a coop. The automotive addition to Moriarty's cache of curiosities seemed only logical. "I have a Lamborghini and I've got a big wall," he said. Moriarty bought the car 10 years ago, paying a collector $60,000. But the upkeep was a nightmare. The gas tank had rust damage, and the engine kept stalling. "I got tired of having it towed," he said. On Friday, the sleek black Countach — license plate "FAASST" — was officially retired. As Moriarty's fiancee, auto mechanic, architect and several friends snapped photos with cellphones and cameras, the car was hoisted 60 feet in the air by the crane. Then a five-man crew maneuvered the 1,000-pound, engineless vehicle through the skylight and hung it from a steel-reinforced wall with loops of half-inch-thick steel cable. "It's a beautiful piece of art," Joiner said. But Moriarty, in flip-flops, shorts and a T-shirt, wasn't quite satisfied. "I want to stencil some tire marks on the wall," he said. "Seriously." :goodman
Hombre ya que quita el V12 para ponerlo en la pared, se podia haber hecho la gracia completa y haberlo expuesto en un poyete cerca ...y diez o doce vitrinas para tanto carburador
yo lo hubiera dejado con la pluma sobre la alfombra de piel de búfalo cuernudo castrado. Muy CHIC , sí.
Eso pienso yo y eso que el coche lo tenemos clarísimamente sobrevalorado, pienso y más después de haber "conducido" uno (eso es imposible ) Pero ya casi es un icono estético aunque colgado asi a modo de trofeo de caza o replica de crack-dillac de burguer da cierta penilla. Lo del Multiplá...normal :cool:
..otro mas..cosa de Lamborghini en el año 2001 ..aunque no quedaría nada mal en la pared de la cantina demi pueblo..
eso le pasó a un pájaro que tenía una Norton en el cabecero de la cama y se le vino alos morros cuando estaba durmiendo ... no es coña lo vi hace tiempo en una revis que traía chorradas.. Supongo que la moto estaría apagada..
