Can you tell your insurance premium for all those cars or is that secret?
Travarsh, paint the beat yellow. Please! They look fantastic in yellow!
You Want HARES 🐇🐇🐇🐇🐇🐰🐰🐰🐰🐇🐇🐇🐰You Sure
Neon Yellow. Reflective if possible, because someone is gonna run over you. You can tell Tarvarish's cars. The hood is up.
70k for that Toyota is insane like smoking crack level meth head level insane
"Everything's for sale... as soon as they're completed." Freddy found a loophole to keep everything.
Not to mention the pricing. "Not sell now pricing..." *lists all cars over market*
Hoovie said the same thing except, he's just going to pay the Wizard to do all the work. Hoovie is just lazy Tavarish with more money.
@@FUNKOfilms you mean.. just tavarish with more money
@@Tomekkplk That's fair. I suppose if he paid Jared then he might just be Hoovie.
*needs new tag light bulb* can't sell this one yet... lol
Freddy "I'm selling everything!!! Except, this one, and.... this one, and, well, these three. Oh, and not this one...." It's ok Hoovie. We all know who has the real hoarding issue. ;)
Even Hoovie put a price on his grandma's Mercedes...

As much as we love you Freddie, you’ll never sell anything as you’ll never finish anything 🤷🏻♂️
Well he does have 30 cars
he just finished his mclaren though and thats probably the only thing i thought he would never finish hahaha
@@drmiyagi4062 and the murchi
@@drmiyagi4062 and also the one he won't sell 😄
Hmmm have you seen his FAF Lamborghini, that is sick.
Also, Freddie is the ultimate guy. When he says he’ll finish a project (to us, not his wife) he does finish it eventually. But damn it’s entertaining to watch and also to watch his videos to see a peak of the things he’s not finishing whilst looking at something else.🤣🤣
That V6 Bricklin project sounds cool. When you do get around to starting it, I'll enjoy watching it.
"It's thirty. I have thirty cars."
When he said that I expected to see the Car Wizard appear with a rolled-up magazine to whack him on the head, with a "Bad Tavarish! Bad!"
No, Jared Pink, with rolled up magazine said that! :D
I'm dead ☠
i expected jared to show up with a newspaper sunday editon bad tavarish bad
15 in his garage, another 50 by Jared😂😂
Thirty automobiles*
Tavarish "I'm selling all my cars"
Hoovie "I'm selling all my cars"
Ed "and then we met in the middle at ...."
Ed, Hoovie and Tavarish are the main sellers - and also, the main people behind Car Trek. I wonder if they are funding a move to TV shows?
@@GrahamCampbell-kr2gz imagine BBC
@@lukedanielgalon1596 TopGear reborn!! :) YAY!! I LIKE that idea.
Probably was a bet for Car Trek to see who made the most money from selling their car collection.
@@GrahamCampbell-kr2gz I hope not. I love being able to watch it on RUclips without needing to buy some stupid, expensive, mostly-unusable TV package.
Oh no hahahahahah, well honestly looking forward to this project!!!
7 likes?
21:42 it looks like its not just tavarish that has been having fun with the car (look at the hand prints)
With everyone selling their collections, I can only imagine that they all believe the market is about to crash soon
yuuuuup. With the people who make a living off of buying, fixing, and selling cars, if they're selling 100% i imagine something is about to fall out.
Now is the best time to sell all used cars there's a 25% premium right now to sell.$$$$$
Hey I didn't even made the connection :-D All time high used market selling all my collection
I guess the burnt Chiron price is not that much influenced by market. You have to be able to put the money on the table, take the risk of keeping it garaged for months or years without being able to driving it, buy the part$$, and be able to fix it. Not that many people on the market, plus people are not flipping bugattis its more a long term investment
Let’s hope
Nope. They have way to much overhead with all the BS Car Trek and shit going on. Their youtube pages don't make money to support their fleet of cars so they need to dump them. It's November, it's almost tax time and end of the fiscal year is about a month away. They need to sell if they can.
Adam Savage:"We own nothing, we only chaperone things thru time." Tavarish:" Mine! Mine! Mine!"
I miss those guys. RIP Grant.
"I'm selling ALL my cars."
2/3s of the cars - "Well, I'm not selling that one."
Man O’ Man…Freddie, not only do I love you, I want to be you! Seriously, you’re doing it right and I couldn’t be more thankful for being able to tote along. Keep it going Freddie!!!
For the Beat color: emerald green. That'll give it a pop without looking obnoxious given how FREAKING TINY it is
Kermit green!
🥑
Chrysler had a color in '68 called "GG1 Dark Racing Green Metallic." Looks almost black in low-light conditions, but as light hits it, the color pops.
Another very pretty green is Toyota/Lexus 6V4 "Spruce Mica"- just used it on a '95 Dodge shorty 4wd in a tutone.
Deep violet red… because beet
I like the Mazda 2 spirited green
Does anybody else remember when Freddy was fixing cars in his parent’s driveway up north?
Yes, the old Apida online chanel days, and when he wrote for Jalopnik
I remember the NJ days!
I remember when he got the SL
Yup. Miss those days. Still like his new stuff, but I preferred the old stuff.
i Started following him when he was cleaning out rat poop and re-finishing his heads or w/e on his 3000gt and dragging them along the concrete lol
love the channel, been watchin for a little while now, and i love ur passion that u have for each car and also taking care of ur friends when u gave away that audi, keep up the awesome work, wish i had extra cash layin around would so purchase a car from u, just to say i own one :D :P
Title: “SELLING ALL MY CARS”
during video:
“This one is not for sale, this one is not for sale, this one is for sale, but priced at the highest one has ever sold for”
We love ya though, Freddy, and honestly I would probably be the same way if I could
My guess is that Tavarish, Hoovy and Ed are all selling their cars for Car Trek. Something like "Who can get the best supercar by selling all their cars"
Or when you hold onto an asset over a year end you have taxes and things to sort out. Or you sell them because you know there is no content to get out of them the following year and that means it's a liability and just needs to go.
Partially true.......car trek 5 is long done and on post production and they already said car trek 6 has slowly started filming and will fully ramp up around the holidays. In car trek 5 there are at least 3 cars each they sold.
It’s all scripted
I think your right.. unsubscribe…
@@briand7381 oh shit son, this man just UNSUBSCRIBED
thanks for the update, Tavarish. I hope we get the build video's for the McLaren 675lt rather than just a finished reveal. i miss the build series you used to do and hope you get back to that kind of content.
He outsources most of it these days.
@@Ken-bi2yr i'm ok with that as long as he helps and films it.
I remember I subscribed to see the manual swap on the SL55 3 years ago and yet waiting for that day to come.
Put some 15” spoon wheels on the beat. Would look perfect and is very fitting for it.
I feel like I've seen so many of these videos and then nothing ever gets actually finished.
You're right and it's the same for the other amigos as well, it's a never ending shampoo commercial .... *Lather, Rinse and Repeat*
@@sheerluckholmes5468 try KEEPS!
We can end this by all stop watching and unsubscribing to this numbnut and hoovie.
It's hard to finish stuff when you have this many projects. I only have 4 and I never get anything done. I couldn't imagine 30.
Honestly they only upload whenever they need money I’ve watched them go away for 4 months and come back like it was nothing this channel is a joke
Since you’re always asking for our thoughts, I’ll give you some. We all want to see more car work. Wrenching is interesting. I know the car trek stuff is probably much more fun for you, and it’s “ok”. But it’s not as good as what you based it on and it’s getting tiresome. Old style wrenching with Jared on ANY project is more fun and more interesting for us (at least to me and since you asked). 😊
Agree
Yup, I'd much rather Car Trek be like a special thing once a year or something and have the good old wrenching back, kinda like how MightyCarMods do their special feature's like Kei to the City etc
I guess auto tempest pays him more money than you do…and he doesn’t owe you.
100% right
True I dont even watch the car trek. I dont care. I want to see some craizy car building!
Tavarish is a legend one of the best car builders and vloggers out there
5:30
I thought you were going to say the convertible roof worked 😭
but that sponser came outta nowhere haha
Real reason: Car market is literally insane rn. He’s gonna make a shit ton of money with these values.
Hoovie is doing the same thing right now. Very suspicious.
Ed did it first a while back
Every thing is way overpriced. The market is gonna FALL
@@Zzus321 No shit, that's _why_ they're selling now (if this is even real).
Yes he will considering he has 0 money in all of these cars.
I can’t lie…I miss the old Tavarish content. Hopefully selling these cars will free him up to do a single project again.
Will never happen.. He said everything will be sold after they are "finished", and we all know that Freddy never finishes anything... So basically this video is just clickbait..
It sucks that it’s turnt into.. whatever this is. Like I said in my comment. Bought merch, spent hours watching his vids and supporting him, then he disappears for over a month with no explanation. It’s just not right to do to your fans, especially the ones supporting you. At least an update vid would be nice. Wish I knew what the paint on the McLaren looked like… amongst other things. It is what it is, which is sad and disappointing.
Overgrowth and loss of focus. It happens to everyone. Every company. Leave what makes them successful and good for other endeavors/products, and lose the original fans. The only one who’s managed to remain really good despite changing focus is watchjrgo. In my opinion at least. And I think it’s just because he posts EVERY DAY…which by itself is utterly amazing.
@@aceadman but boring by the time though
Him selling cars means he knows the content of these cars is dead. So he's moving on from builds probably to more car trek stuff.
those subarus gained my attention instantly, just started watching the channel but I would love to see you get a sti one time just to see you drive one, I think you would love it
It has good handling is like describing that someone has ‘good personality’ 🤣🤣🤣 . That being said, I’d agree on your assessment of the Beat💪
Wow. Going through the first 20 seconds of this video one frame at a time, I had the same reaction you did. Interior looks perfect, engine area looks pristine. Runs and drives? That is perfect for your channel. Seems like it would be a lot easier job than your McLaren.
No way. The electronics on that car are right under the burnt area. That car is not going to ever be able to be driven on the road again. The carbon fiber is damaged where it won't be stable to stand to the power it makes. It's essentially a million dollar parts car. But it's worth it's money in parts.
That's what he meant about the title, trying to see if it will be able to be road worthy. It won't.
@@MilesHolt You seem very confident about your claim.
@@elyk46 unless for some reason Bugatti goes back on their statement that they don't think the chassis is fit for on road use and the damage has weakened the car so much it can't hold the power it makes. It is only good for a track car or parts car at best. 1000%
@@MilesHolt The title having certificate of destruction. Still is able to be reversed, via the towing company or insurance company.
Houston from royalty exotics made a whole video about the car never being able to legally drive on public roads, and that claim is false lol
I love how all the trash cars get car covers and the expensive cars get to gather dust
What would you rather look at though? 🤷
>vr4
>trash
The bricklin sv is a very cool car I think it has alot of potential to be a wicked looking supper car, I had a idea but not the finances to pursue it but I thought it would be an awesome project to mate Brooklyn with the drivetrain from an all-wheel drive turbo WRX, with a built motor! It'd be quite the undertaking since you would be flipping the drivetrain right around to a rear engined car and making the all wheel drive work in a chassis that's originally rear-wheel drive, but I think it be worth the work. As much as I'd love to do this myself I'd love to see someone pursue it on RUclips!
The F355,
PLEASE make it stock again. That would be amazing to bring a burnout Ferrari back from the dead
Also because the values of the F355 are going well over $100K!
agree!!
You really need to just clear out some of those in “as is” state, the first step to recovery from hoarding is to realise what your priorities are and focus on what gets you into the shop each day ... purely selfish reasoning as i miss your regular vids on an end to end project 👍😀
Tavarish actually means "unfinished" 🤣
“Speaking of wind in your hair!”
*presses the right side of my screen 10 times rapidly*
I love how you have a F-355, it has been one of my favorite cars of all time and I joked about having one when I brought home a date ones, lol. Seriously wish I had one though.
So Tavarish, the Honda Beat looks fun, color I'm thinking GottaHaveItGreen that was on the 2013 and 2014 Mustangs. It's a beautiful green, I think would look great with a set of Ruff Racing R355 black wheels.
I'm very much keeping track of the bricklin Sv-1 build, My father owns a shop that rebuilds them. Intresting idea to get that charger drive train into that car. rear end should be stright forward, engine will be a challange with the shock towers in the brick. We cannot wait to see it done!
I have a huge soft spot for the ole bricks, absolutely adore mine and am also looking forward to see what he does with it!
+1 for the Bricklin.
I already watched this video today, only it had Hoovie in the lead role.
WatchJRGo as well
This is several years worth of work at T’s pace 😅 will look forward to seeing the Ferrari rebuild
Going by what Houston said… getting parts for the Bug is gonna be a nightmare! There’s no aftermarket supply or support for that Bug! Keep away from the Bug if you want to keep your sanity!!!
right.this on top of knowing now that bugatti said clearly this car will never hit the road again,they won't be of any help.expect them to buy the car back to test their new crusher.
All the money should go to Jared, he deserves a hell of a holiday
YES!!!!! IMAGINE IF THAT WAS YOU!!!!!!! LIKE THIS UP TO UP THAE CHANCES OF MAKINGT IT COME TRUE!!!!! AND IT ALL COMES BACK AROUND!!!!!
So stoked for the M3. Absolutely love those cars, and someone took an SMG M3 off the road and transformed it into something worth driving.
21:35. Tavarish casually- “oh there’s a Ferrari back there”
I maintain that very few cars look better as a convertible than as a coupe (Jag E-Type is top of that list), but I might actually add the Gallardo to that list. And I don't often like white cars either (Back in the day, white was the cheap, base model colour...) but Freddies Gallardo looks absolutely stunning, even in white.
It's easy to forget about the channels' OG and how gorgeous it is. And is definitely a one up on the LS 911 which is Tyler's OG car.
Thank you Freddy for the McLaren update!!! I can’t wait for the Grand Premiere of that most wonderful beautiful car!!! I’ve been living vicariously through you and that entire build!!!!
I'm honestly looking forward to seeing the Bricklin build, my buddy has one that he rebuilt years ago and it's an amazing car.
Build the oddball cars!!!
Will you make a video driving all of your cars? I very often feel like they're just decorations in your shop, they just look like they sit there.
04:09
Tavarish. The kind of guy who crosses out something with dry erase marker instead of just wiping it off.
I would like to see more content of your VR4! It's a gem, my all time favorite and so rare to see. You are the only big RUclipsr that has one. Keep the hard work
Yeah he got it back and it just sits, I’d expect him to drive it now that there’s little rust risk
Remember that sort of aqua/teal green that they were putting on literally every car in the 90s? That's what you should put on the Beat.
I love that color would look slick on the beat. Don't see many of that color anymore.
Man that Doge frame swap is clever and very exciting can’t wait for the series on it
Tavarish, I think it's funny you have that 1990 Lotus, because before I got to third video I emailed you about a 1991 Lotus Esprit se turbo on the AutoTempest email.
"Its gunna be a long term project" like every other car parked and unfinished in there
Meanwhile at Samcrac Farm, after a lot of muttering.
"I'm taking all my broken garbage back to where I got it from, copart."
I would love to see you fix the F355 Spider to a almost stock car. I loved seeing do the Lambo and use Audi parts. That’s what got me hooked watching you channel.
Why isn't everyone talking about how Freddy, Ed and Hoovie are all "selling" all of their cars? Is this some kind of bet? CARTREK I SEE YOU.
The BustedBoiz LUL
I’m sure Ed found the mclaren f1
DOES ANYONE KNOW ABOUT THE ALLIGATIONS ON THE FERRAI?!?!
I was also wondering the same
I am also wondering about this
Button Built kit. The guy and his wife were in the ballet world. They trained young ballerinas. You can figure it out from there
Glad you keeping the 3000gt. One of my all time favourite cars too!
Banana Yellow for the Honda Beat.
Whatever you decide on for wheels and rubber, keep them skinny like the stock rims. Skinny tyres on cars of that size and weight make for much more fun at lower speeds.
Freddy, your garage is the regular’s man garage, and for that you deserve all my respect, and then some!!!
As a lover vintage Volvos, I really appreciate your nice comment about that nice P1800
Bricklins were built just down the road from me. I almost fell over watching your video. It’s much more valuable than ever. People really like them now more than ever. Vapour Wave baby
Anyone else glad he went with the P1 instead? Can't wait for Part 5
I feel like I missed something big on the details around that cursed Ferrari Body Kit. Anybody have any idea who designed it or what the story is there?
Following.
regarding the 355, just go with the crazy wide body kit, you already have it, don't waste it, just don't promote who you got it from.
Whats the story? Alegations what?
@@z13zackenem55 id like to know to, someone above us hrew out Mitchell & Dusty Buttonbut i dont know how that has anything to do with the wide body*
@@YukiTsunoda7 Button Built did a 355 kit.
Have me curious on the ferarri body kit drama now.
Don't mind me, I'm here for the replies

Mitch button he mentioned it in the video "Ferrari purists will cry when they see what I did to my f355" starting at 9:50
When tavarish pointed at the supra after saying his cars are worth alot of money 😂😂
your best top 3 mitsubishi 3000 vr4 , Lotus esprit (james bond), and orange lamborgini Fast n furious for sure , just wish it was top 5 with austin martin v12 vantage and nclaren in there also.
You're a hard working man Freddy, good luck with all of that, looking forward to seeing some of these projects finished. 😃
I came here just to see if he was keeping the 3000GT. That was my dream car as a kid. Happy he's keeping it. For a good one I'd pay more than anyone should for one of those, so maybe it's better to enjoy it on screen lol.
the steelies are stock for the beat. very cool want to paint them or maybe try finding some tri spokes...
I like Bricklins!!! Fell in love as a kid and will always love them.
Everyone's selling their collection now lol
like?
@@ruax6993 hoovie
@@Nikmg0 oh
EVERYONE!
I dont blame them tho haha
YES!
"So I'm selling all my cars."
NO!
A suggestion would be to make a video series where you work on the cars and make videos of them you intend sell to get the bugatti to show the road towards it. I believe many would like them and there is no real need for the videos to be really long
I always thought this guys was cool but I now see how cool he really is! The charger ideas dope but he should put the hole in the roof
"Everything that the car needs will be finished in the future and that's when you'll get the car" dude just finish the cars then sell them. Recipe for a lot of upset people
Finally, the McLaren is done! I have been so excited to see the finished product! Can't wait to see that reveal video when it comes out 👍
Also rims for the hond beat put some advanti storm s1 rims on it I think they would look very clean and would be good for it
Royalty did video on that car. He said couldn't get a clean title. But I know you can bring that car back to life. Definitely good video build. Very expensive build at that. Good luck 👍
I've only seen a Bricklin in person once, but it's one of my favourite cars! I'd love to see you build yours and get it back on the road!
Freddy does so much work that we don’t see. He should hire a camera guy/editor so we can see more of his work, and he can make more money.
Oh yeah? What does he do?
uh, he hasn't been doing much lately, except talking
@@webfreakz he is stealing hoovies gig with his wizard being Jared
You guys are right. He only produces 2 seasons ,a year, of a Top Gear style series. While also rebuilding these cars.
There’s so much that goes into working on these cars that we don’t see. Even in this video there’s stuff he’s said he’s been doing to some of these cars we haven’t seen. Maybe a camera/editor guy would give us more content. Maybe a Vlog that shows his semi daily life dealing with all that goes into this would help.
I just think doing so much of this on his own really takes away from how much content he really could have.
Jarred is awesome, but Jered had his Truck paid for, then had a truck purchased for him, and still didn’t move down. Something ain’t right about that.
@@GodBeforeMoney rebuilding what? a paint job that was outsourced?
lmaooooooo bro his face in the opening clip 🤣🤣🤣
I saw that Bugatti last week! Hadn't thought about Tavarish snagging it, but it makes sense.
Not going to lie when I first saw the wrecked Chiron a few weeks ago you were the first person I thought of that would benefit from buying it. Good luck hope you get it!
imagine him buying a new car for a change, he will be confused. he might even take out the engine for the sake of it.
Cheers from Portugal!
I have some recomendations for your Honda Beat:
1 - rims setup: Ultralite Classic SPEN-2S 13x7 aluminium wheels. They're sporty, have the right size, look good and they're cheap;
2 - paint: for me, the Honda red color named R63 (17371, HON-323) from their 1991 catalog is the best, gives life to the car;
3 - interior: I know it's the original pattern, but it's so ugly...just custom everything with black leather, new shifter and a 3-arm wheel. Do your "worse";
4 - suspension: get a BC Racing suspension kit made specifically for the Honda Beat. They're a little expensive, but it's all worth;
5 - engine: is not easy to work with due to the space. You need do dissemble the rear and boot if you have hulk hands...just do the normal review and put a new exhaust. It's an NA engine with MTREC system (Multi Throttle Responsive Engine Control, I think it's called like this) that has the same power has his turbo opponents like the Cappuccino and the AZ-1 (around 63hp).
I hope to see some the final form of your 430 Scuderia soon! Keep up the good work and stay safe.
Not gonna lie, was waiting for this car announcement 34:05 😍 hopefully i didnt comment before this min of the video "why the Mac is not here ?" 😂
When I saw the first few seconds of this video I was like I hope it isn't the destruction title Bugatti. It can never get insured or driven on the streets anywhere. You can't get parts even. Royalty Exotics did a video on the car the other day.
The F355 is my favorite bucket list car you have. I would love to see the windshield go back on, and built up. Maybe even with a Ferrari engine from a Masarati or something? I just love those cars.
I wonder what the guy who made the wide body did to warrant those allegations 🤔
@@adamgraham6265 just searched button built. Him and his wife are accused of sex trafficking
31:40 "if I don't check it, it's not dead"
Schrödinger's Battery
1. I admit, when I saw that Lotus I got a little stiff.... been my 'dream car' most of my life and I missed my chance in the mid-2000s to buy one for about $15k. If I had the free cash, I'd jump on that one.
2. You have a Bricklin???? Dude, you've GOT to do a series with that one! I like older cars, and that's FAR more interesting than any Ferrarri.
3. I admit, i'd love a YT Short on the video/audio equipment you use. :)
4. That Volvo is asexy beast.
Holy crap the allegations against Mitchell & Dusty Button (widebody Ferrari) ARE CRAZY!
I totally support Tavarish for abandoning the parts from Button Built
I know this is a serious issue but I can't get over the fact that her name is Dusty Button.
Literally just seen it 😳 like wtf you never really know anybody who Would have thought sick mfks
Wait what happened? Completely out of the loop on this one, can someone fill me in?
Either way, they ain’t got that bengamin button money biotch!!!!!
I just read the allegations. Wtf. Sick weirdo idiots.
Good Luck with the Sale. But I’m sure me, & a couple of others would Love to see videos of, Something getting Completed
As much as I love all your super cars. The 3000 GT is probably my favorite. Nostalgia bomb for sure 🤙
So glad your keeping the SL man that's the car that brought me to your channel years ago back when you were playing with the roof, for some reason though RUclips un subbed me 😆. anyway regardless of that it's that car the brought me here and being passionate about Mercedes cars and seeing how passionate you are about that car and the manual swap. I'm sure if anyone figures it out XF will, but is there no way to keep the stock computer in the car but run a kind of piggy back system. When we Turbo converted our slightly less muscly slk230 k we ended up using 3 computers a standalone for the engine piggybacked to the stock ECU to keep the immo and other modules happy and a standalone Ofgear Transmission controller for the trans. I know the R230 electronically is more like a W220 with some roof electronics thrown into the already headache of modules and wiring, so it probably isn't possible and more than likely being the person you are that thought has already ran through your head. Obviously the big difference is the fact your swapping to the manual and the ECU likes to pull timing and reduce throttle position electronically to reduce the torque through the shift, and without that it's gonna moan and flash and moan a bit more then go full limp mode. But if you switch to standalone on the engine control side of things piggybacked from the stock ECU there must be a way. We even had the stock cruise control functional because we retained stock management, no EML everything worked as stock (again I know and Slk is a far cry from a SL electronically but Mercedes and their modules principal is likely very similar. We managed this from a £320 Megasquirt 3 clone so imagine how much better it could work with a haltech or even a Fuel tech. Asr runs through the stock management so that's another reason it's needed and but it's more so for throttle position and wheel speed, but going stand alone would give you the full savagery that engine is capable of. You know as well as I Mercedes focus on drivability and loadbased ECUs so over riding that makes fun cars rediculous. Our Slk was hilarious for a little 2.3 turbo even if we blew it up far too many times. Anywho this went on far too long if anyone is still reading sorry for boring you 🤣. Loving the content Freddy😃👍👍
