COPART SHOPPING WITH TAVARISH! 🇺🇸

During a recent trip to the States, I met up with my old friend Freddy @tavarish to experience my first ever @CopartTV parking lot walk-round - something I've wanted to do for a very long time. We both trawled the vast Florida site, where you can find all manner of impressive machinery if you look hard enough.
Now Freddy is no stranger to a restoration project, and with his eagle eyes he can spot a deal
from a mile away. He looks at bent metal and sees either an opportunity, or something to
avoid at all costs, and that’s the difference between making a profit or having an expensive
hobby. The only slight problem is... we both seem to have the same taste in cars!
We both fell in love with a manual Lamborghini Murcielago LP-640, as well as a damaged '89 Porsche 911 Cabriolet that looks like it has a LOT of potential. Would you like to see me take on a challenge like this next? Should I have a dedicated America-based project car? Decisions, decisions...🤔

You could buy the Porche and have travarish fix it on his RUclips and then you do not have to pay him for labor he is getting views and if you are there doing it with him his views go up and you learn something about cars... Win win whine
That isn't a 964 speedster - it's a G series 911 3.2 Series, which was the first speedster since 50's. It is a very rare car and well worthy of the attention your giving it.
Finally! Someone who knows their Porsche stuff. Not a 930, not a 964. It an '89 Speedster built with steel 930 front and rear flares. Likely the tire mismatch was because that was the only size available at the time for the 245 16's because for years nobody was making them. Fix the Speedster!
Thank you for not calling it a 930 😂
You, Freddie and Jack dropping the same co-part trip videos at the same time is epic.
Great dudes
RUclips has become a little closed circuit of the same people doing the same things. They alll colab to combine their viewers, easy money. RUclips car scene has become stale and copy pasted.
@@br4kecheckd Just don't watch and leave sad comments like this!
@@panher will do kid. They got plenty of you kids enjoying their generic copy paste old Top Gear rip off content.
@@br4kecheckd Nobody asked.
I bet you're fun at parties, with your unwanted comments and sad ideas.
Freddie is simply the nicest guy on RUclips. This is one of the best videos I’ve watched. Great to see Ben so clearly enjoying filming with Freddie. Freddie, Matt Armstrong and Ben are the perfect new TopGear team.
Yeah he’s awesome
A 5 men CarTrek : Ben, Tavarish, Mat, Ed & Tyler. Nothing could go wrong ...🤣
As is Ben….
these lads would never appeal to the bbc for top gear, too wild and idiotic and frankly all could do with a fashion make over especially matt :D
@@CaydeSmax nothing constructive in your comment. TopGear needs reinventing just like it did when Clarkson took over, a complete reboot not just a nasty copy of what was great Tv.
The only thing I love more than the idea of that Porsche coming back to life, is the collaboration with you, Matt, and Freddie.
The thing I take the most with any video with Freddy in it, is he's a super nice and helpful guy, hats off too him
Guys… the 911 Speedster is the last of the G50 930 style 911. They’re worth a fortune. It’s not a 964.
As a RUclipsr you should definitely buy the Porsche. The worse the condition the more views fixing it
Mmm im not sure .. needs to be cheap to be worth the work
@@BenCollinsDrives if you get Tavarish and Matt Armstrong to help with the build in the long run with their viewer base its a definite win for you.
Will need some collabs with some shops and YT depends if you want to keep it, can be worth the work. And will definitly give you some visibility to you and your channel
Don't bother Ben. It would be more of the same old thing. Step away from the 'popular' RUclipsrs. Do something original, the Tav/TwatArmstrong repair thing is over.
Best way to remove 100lbs from a car? Just remove 1oz x1600.
(Best way to make a project worthwhile on RUclips? .5¢ per view and a bunch of views)
Lots of headroom,
Cool video.
Ben says "looks like it's been run over by mr blobby". I'm sure tavarish will get that reference. He was probably a big fan of Noels' house party.😂😂😂
That was the best bit.
I only know who mr blobby is from big fat quiz.
@@1763-o3f Mr Blobby on BFQ was off the fkn chain!
1989 was still the G body for Speedster. The 964 Speedster was also one year only in 1994, and doesn't have the turbo flares. This car is most certainly a G body.
100% agreed. It was available as standard and wide body. I think this is the smaller standard body
So glad the Stig is doing his own RUclips with my favourite RUclipsrs, Tavarish and Matt. Keep em coming Ben! P.s. waiting for that first round of ciders next year! Sign me up!
Love what you are doing now Ben. These guy's you are working with are awesome. Great content and we get to laugh along too. Keep on keeping on, 💯 quality.
Thanks so much!
Ben what a legend, good to see you with these boys
My god man he has a way with words. Crafting these Metaphors ive never even considered connected to the topics. But it all makes sense
This video was so excellent - would love to see more content like this !!! Hope you do the Porsche - would be fun to watch the journey !!!
15:00 The moment Stigy senses activate on the black E92 M3 lurking at the back
964 is my favourite iteration, bad boys turbo era. This is a 930, same as becky evans shape. Had the privilege of seeing one in Framce from the dutch Porsche club on tour.
The Speedster was amazing. I accidentally referred to it as a 993, I meant 9-3-0.
Is it even a 930 - or just a '911' - the 930 was the turbo variants, no?
@@mini4x The Speedster was a weird car. It was built in the old 911 factory that 930s were rolling out off, and used 930 body panels. But 964s were also out being built in another facility. And I think there's SOME 964 in these Speedsters too?
@@lockingdiff 964 speedsters are 93-94 year cars. The 911 gbody speedster in this video depends where in the world you are if you call it gbody 911 or 930.
The 930’s were turbos only. It is likely a G body 911 speedster.
@@sparkys_garage Thank you. I've heard both here in the US. I typically say 930 based on styling, which isn't correct since 930s specify turbocharged cars. Porsche nomenclature gets confusing even for a 911 owner, like myself.
The demeanor and character difference between a classic TV professional and todays youtubers. Is something to be studied.
I think the main difference here is one’s a watchable Brit the others an irritating American
Okay,, I mean there is bound to be a difference so yes you are correct 🎉
A classic TV professional who never spoke or showed his face. When does your visa for this planet run out?
This was brilliant, two car guys looking around chatting about cars having fun in such a place just loving a great day out looking at cars that need some TLC .
Glad you enjoyed it
I was a fella, just watching vgg, then he bought a bricklin from Freddie, then freddie met mat, then jack got a channel, then they met Ben, now all I have time for is youtube.
Im on my fourth Maxima, ‘96, ‘00, ‘10, ‘12… my 96 SE Neptune Blue (auto) was my first car and my favorite one, I miss it a lot. Hope you do a Maxima one day, thank you!!!
As much as I love Tavarish and respect his skill level... BEN WHATEVER YOU DO, DO NOT GET STUCK WITH A FLOOD CAR! The car gods sent them to Earth to torment, pass judgement upon and likely bankrupt the fools that get entangled with them. Tavarish may very well find his way out of the P1 after literally YEARS, but you and I both know that your forte is driving cars at 10/10th's and (sometimes) breaking records (so sorry, really just couldn't pass that one up, but fr that Ariel Atom V8 seems impossible to beat). Very happy to see you working with all these great RUclipsrs and extremely happy to see you're not taking on BS that doesn't suit you.
Woooo. 'Speedster'!?!?! You gotta grab and go!!! This is as rare and unique as just about any contemporary Porsche!!! Since the 930....
Much love for the big Ram truck.
I am watching this space. Good luck and i hope to see a resto job very soon.
This is a video that I did not know that I needed. I’m so happy this exists.
Great video! You guys work really well together. Roll on more videos like this!
That silver 1989 911 Speedster is the one to have. 'Cheap' examples are around $200k in the USA now.
Stig tavarish and mat Armstrong should do a joint build in the UK and one in America as a great giveaway. That would be awesome guys
@tavarish did hint at something along those lines... that would be .. pretty AWESOME
@@BenCollinsDrives can't wait to see what the car will be
Tavarish will def know who Mr.blobby is 🙈 may as well of referenced worzle gummage and pats fun house 😂
Hello Ben ! Huge fan of yours, cant believe you guys were so close to me, Im in Clermont, just a few minutes down the road! Have not been to Copart but it looks like a fun day field trip! Fantastic channel, Cheers from down the road! :)
I was with freedie until I bad mouthed the dodge. Now I don't know about the trx but where I'm from and I'm pretty sure in Florida as well the ram is the best towing truck you can get. I mean get on the highway and just drive for a while and see anything getting towed like a big load 9 times out of 10 it's going to be a 2500 3500 and in some cases a regular 1500 ram.
Good instincts from tavarish regarding the sticker on the bentley. The symbol is a "wolfsangel". Can't be certain of specific intent of course, the owner might have just had less good instincts about the cool metal-looking wolf shield sticker they were buying.
Co part are really expanding in the UK, they shifted my written off Focus in days !!!
any cars with bullet holes, or bodies in them !!!
I see lots of Hyundai's there, the most stolen car stateside at the moment
Hey Mr. @bencollinsdrives the sticker on the windshield of the Porsche is a PORSCHE CLUB OF AMERICAS Member sticker and the other sticker is a DAYTONA RACETRACK parking permit when PORSHE CLUB HAVE AUTOSHOWS like the ones on ROLEX 24 EVERY YEAR.. 👏🏻 BIG FAN HERE!
I love the way your videos are overlapping, to the extent that we can't tell who's channel we're watching. It sounded like Sam in the Maxima.
Good collaboration!
Great episode…..none for me thanks, boy would I get myself into trouble at that place!👍🏼👍🏼
Watched this vid star struck. I was the stig 5 years in a row for Halloween as a kid.
Well this model is the 911 G 1973-1989 and the Turbo of the same period was the 930 the 911s you mentioned were the successors to this model the 964 initially followed by the the 993 the last air cooled Porsche the next ones were liquid cooled engines ! 😉
This exact one is actually the 1989 speedster market value in good shape in Europe is between 300’000 usd and 400’000 usd with some nice magnesium Fuchs wheels…personally I’d by it and work it out ! 😉
I'd watch the hell out of a series of videos of you rebuilding that Porsche and turning it into "the Stig's ideal sports car."
Samcrac is the man for these places
his stepmom is really nice too.
All-black Dodge Rams are CLUTCH!
definitely porsche Ben, i hope you guys do a trek through europe with some reasonably priced cars!
The Stig WOW !!!! I'm subscribed.
can't wait to see The Stig rebuild a TRX and rip it ❤
That porsche is a true dream car. It would be amazing once rebuilt
THe Blackwolf @ 10:05 is the logo for the German Heavy Panzer Battalion from World War 2 lol
Crazy just to be rocking a nazi symbol so non sealant like that 🤣
Really want to see Ben do a hands on restoration. Warts and all
I can confirm, the 911 is a 930 generation speedster, which is extremely rare. Ive only ever seen one.
"Escalade is far too big"
"Oh I love this dodge ram"
😅😅
Yep sorry - i learned to hate the Escalade when i got one stuck ass down in a canyon up by Willow Springs …
@@BenCollinsDrives hell yea! You have lived my friend haha
@@BenCollinsDrivesthat was on The Good, The Bad and The Ugly DVD wasn't it?
It is so massive the copart yard there.. need a shuttle bus to cover the area and cars
A bit of a note to mr. cameraman, i think the camera shouln't always be pointed at ben and fred, more focus on the cars would be nice
@24:56 - Jezza approved invocation of Jaaaagggh!!
I do like me a droptop
Good luck with your bidding !
15:00 am I the only one that when Freddie said "is it a 55?" I thought he meant a 55 plate 😂
Probably should have waited to upload the video, until the day after the auction instead of the day before ... that Porsche is going to get a lot more interest now than it would have.
That G series speedster has to be saved. Not a 964 or 993 Beautiful!
Please get yourself the Porsche. It would be brilliant to see its road back to repair and I think we both know how perfectly that car fits your personality.
Wolfsangel.... A music band from France, I believe.
Indeed. A White Power/Neonazi band from France. It's also a symbol used by Nazi organizations (SS groups used it) and later Neonazi-groups in Germany, especially in the way it is shown on the car.
Welcome to the USA!
You simply have to win the G series at auction. This car has to live again 🙏
10:07 so I looked that sticker up and it's actually called "Heraldic shield with a Werewolf and rune Wolfsangel"
YAY
Landrovers too big in the states Ben ??, that's a mini over there 😂😂
Love the classic Porsche hope it can be fixed
Love the Porsche, good luck in the bidding
@BenCollinsDrives This is car S173063 and is a legit widebody G-body speedster according to P-car registry and one of only 823 delivered to the US (2,103 made worldwide). Truly a special car.
I may or may not be a Porsche fanboy well before buying my early production run ‘01 Turbo.
was that tyler hooftie? 13'40" Sounded like it
What year Nissan Maxima was he looking at?
ALUMINIUM, thank you for the correct pronunciation.
You realize that the Scotsman who first isolated the element Al called it Aluminum, then the revolutionary war happened and the English added an extra I, but the Yanks weren’t interested.
@@michaelanderson2166well, more or less, but the spelling wasn't changed because of the revolutionary war, but to standardise spelling with other elements. But the would have melted the brains of the average yank, so they kept the old British spelling.
But your point is correct, Brits shouldn't winge about the spelling, as it is old British spelling.
@@michaelanderson2166Wrong. Originally he called it alumium. He was told that spelling doesn't match the Latin way. Then in 1812 he published it as aluminum. Aluminium was being used as a modified spelling but is actually incorrect per the man who identified it.
So the founder made the change to aluminium?
If so, we should go with what he states.
@@itisjustacomment Not founder, the guy who identified it. And he never called it aluminium, he published it as aluminum
100% have toi go for that speedster if i's going for decent money.
Wing, bonnet and light are destroyed, obviously and probably some suspension damage, but a GOOD bodyshop should be able to work the rest.
Colab with Robby Layton or someone else?
Could theach him racing and also get some crossover into offroad and recovery audience.
It's Stig!
Sam is the Salvage yard King.
The Porsche was a G-Model Speedster (replica or otherwise), based on a regular Carrera 3.2. Not a 930 (which was the turbo), though it had the wider wheelarches, or a 993 (which was the last air-cooled 911).
So it’s not a real speedster, meaning modified afterwards? How can you tell if you don’t mind me asking?
@@mouse5178 It's a real Speedster, I verified the VIN and build after we left. He's just explaining how they're built. But yeah, in the 100-degree sun, we were dying and numbers weren't numbering for us.
That's definitely a speedster amd worth a lot of money
Nice work Ben
Thanks!
Mr. Blobby if he were full of lead...that Porsche has a big crunch
I cant believe i just subscribed to the StiGs youtube channel FTW.!!!!
Gonna be a three way fight. TJ Hunt also has his eye on that Lambo.
If there's suddenly a Ben Collins fixes it channel...... I'd have to subscribe and watch every video ......
Ok could someone tell me what the hell this Porsche model is please ? 🙈 sorry guys
Pretty sure it's a G series 911 Speedster Turbo look. Good ones in UK go for over 200K.
definitely a 930 speedster XD the 964 speedsters were built in 1993-94
Buy it!
Does anyone know what that symbol in the bentley's window actually is?
If you only look at the value of time + cost it won’t be worth it, but the value from content and channel growth sure would be.
Damn it Freddy it's an aventedor
what is the watch you're wearing Ben? Thanks!
TJ HUNT WANTS THAT CAR 😮
Remember you got Freddie jack and matt Armstrong
And those 3 together and the people they know could pull the build off.
Is that Speedster RHD?
Tavarish is the guy with wisdom on damaged cars and flooded cars.
Doesn't grate like Armstrong.
@@samuelgarrod8327 "grate"? Huh? Did you mean Great. Like Make America GREAT Again?
14:59 m3
Hi Ben, just wondering, was Top Gear: Extra Gear, your idea?
The stig is a Halo fan? Hell yeah
💯
@@BenCollinsDrives You probably don't have much time to game but you should stream. I would love to see you play Halo or Forza, wouldn't mind playing with you either!
Love this channel. Just discovered it. Subbed
Awesome, thank you!
I think the Lancia is plenty for now
il love the banter ' subbed ! '
Welcome aboard!
...ehem, Mr Ben Collins! I just watched, erps Mr Fast Freddy and your tour through Copart made sense, and didn't lack intel on your likes. Thank you for your service sir, #e46RacingDynamicsB30TouringX->
The sticker looks a lot like the symbol for House Stark from GoT.
00:20 Nice Dodge Grand Caravan , lol
