Owning a Lamborghini Aventador, even in its heyday, meant you were the proud owner of a supercar valued at around $350,000. But what happens when time and a couple of questionable modifications reduce its luster? Enter a 2015 Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4, now dressed up to masquerade as the more exclusive SV. This Italian beast, currently at Copart's Orlando, Florida location, has piqued the interest of none other than YouTube car aficionado, Tavarish.

- This Italian supercar could undergo a rear-wheel-drive conversion and potentially receive a stick shift.
- A previous owner has dressed it in a fiberglass bodykit to mimic the Aventador SV.
- Tavarish recently reviewed this near-iconic vehicle at Copart’s Florida yard.
This matte black Lamborghini Aventador is currently listed on Copart's site, sparking the interest of Tavarish, who may soon bring it home. From a distance, it may fool some into believing it's an authentic SV model—courtesy of an aftermarket bodykit. Yet, the slightly higher and wider rear wing quickly gives away its true LP700-4 identity.

The supercar's initial appeal is dampened by visible front-end damage, including a broken bumper and splitter, and a misaligned headlight—problems made easier to mend given the fiberglass construction. But don’t be mistaken; the damage isn’t confined to the nose. The right side of the Aventador has seen better days, with significant scuffing on the skirts, quarter panel, and rear fender, plus a damaged wheel and punctured tire.

Bidding for this diamond in the rough was nearing the $100,000 mark at the time of observation—a testament to the allure this car still holds. With a salvage title and just over 26,000 miles (about 42,300 kilometers) on the odometer, it marks a tempting project for any car enthusiast.
Should Tavarish decide to make this Aventador his own, expect a rear-wheel transformation coupled with the installation of a six-speed gated manual transmission. If the deal goes through, fans can look forward to the detailed journey documented on his YouTube channel. So, whether you're into high-end restorations or curious about what it's like rescuing a supercar, this is a ride you won't want to miss.
