The Countach and the Pantera share similarities in terms of specification and construction techniques.
Bill's note below reminded me of this video made in the 1980s about Lamborghini.

I wish there was something like this professionally done on Detomaso.
I'll bet that 1980s era Detomaso factory practices would be very similar to what we see in this clip.

Subject: [DeTomaso] How cars are assembled in Italy
I was surfing and got into a Lamborghin website, and was reading the following paragraph, and was amazed at how exotic cars are often (apparently) cobbled together. So, it's not only Panteras, where Luigi grabs the first part handy and slaps it on. This car below is over $500K.
A Diablo VT-R used the same chassis and drivetrain as a standard VT but received a few modifications to the bodywork, apparently Automobili Lamborghini SpA had some leftover Diablo SE30 parts, therefore they mounted the complete bodywork of a Diablo SE30 on the VT chassis, everything except the side windows was actualy Diablo SE30 specifications, the side windows however remained the normal Diablo, single piece ones, they could still be opened all the way instead of the small part found in the SE30 doors.
