My uncle made a hood for a Ferrari like that. Ferrari wanted so much money for it that he went to England for 2 weeks and learned to use their old metal working machines, the English Wheel and others. Then he came back and made that hood. Everyone was happy. The Ferrari might not have been that exact model but it was that shape basically and made in the 60s.
My lexus doesn't melt when it rains either and it was only 50k. No special coating or anything. It's almost like it's okay for water to touch the exterior of a car no matter what car it is.

I'm restoring a 1988 Jeep Comanche and I plan on it being my daily driver. Quite a few people ask why? It's valuable if restored and pretty rare in the modern day and my response is "the real value of a car is the enjoyment you get out of it. I'm not gonna put all this work into restoring it only to park it away and just stare at it. I'm gonna drive it, because the more memories I make with it, the more I will appreciate it when it's gone."
Seriously, why have a car not to drive it. That’s the same as having a scrap of metal that looks like that car, these people need to just buy a junkyard
Now that's the spirit. It's always so sad to see these people locking away these cars in garages so they never see any actual driving. It's a car, it's meant to be driven.
That's the right attitude. Im planning the same thing with a 1971 AMC Javelin SST i got hold of. I know how rare this thing is. There's around 7500 of the entire Gen 2 Javelin line left, but the 71 SST is a bit of a unicorn. Gen 2 debuted in 71, and the SST had a unique recessed front grille that looked like a jet intake almost. But new regulations forced AMC to change that grille for following years, meaning the 71 is the only version of the car ever produced that has it, and ive heard estimates between 200 to 300 for how many 71 SST are left. That said, it would almost be criminal not to drive these rare old cars. People need to see them, because many won't ever have another chance to see one in person. The fact you have as rare a machine as you do and plan to use it as a daily is a wonderful thing. It's a piece of automotive history that outside of a museum, most people will never see in their lifetime. It deserves to be driven, shown off and shared with the world. Because every year, we lose more of them, and slowly but surely they will be reduced to a handful remaining. So i always appreciate others who want to get out there and show their classics off to the world. Good luck with your build. Hope it all goes smoothly for you
@@raeishimura My jeep isn't as rare as what you are restoring but pretty uncommon. It turns people's heads, especially jeep guys when they see a jeep pickup truck. I see a couple floating around my area but for every Comanche pickup I see, I will see 50 Cherokees. I am a jeep fanatic and my life's dream is to build a Jeep Museum. My Comanche was bought from a guy in Maine. It has a 4-inch lift kit and 35-inch tires. He was building an off roader which is unfortunately the fate of a lot of Comanches. They originally produced about 270,000 of them but due to their reliability, ease of maintenance, and rugged design, they were primarily used as farm/work trucks. They were beaten to hell and then just scrapped. The few that remain are either owned by people who baby them or turn them into off roaders to beat until they die. I intend to keep the lift and tires on it and embrace the off roader look but it will forever be a pavement princess. I have owned three Cherokees over my life. The first, 1989 Cherokee, blew out its rear main seal and was dumping a gallon of oil a week onto the ground. I turned it into an offroader and killed it since the frame was rotted and would never pass inspection. My second was a 2001 Cherokee and one of the pistons went through the side of the block, still drove it for 6 months with the most horrendous knocking before I sold it to someone who promptly wrapped it around a telephone pole while drunk. My current one, 2000 Cherokee, just blew out the transmission and brakes, The frame is rotting on this one so it will be a spare parts jeep for my Comanche.
@@thejay8963but why car quest? spend a little more and get a wix or a mobil 1. plus, if i paid $77 million I would send a bunch to a guy to have them painted to look like they’re from the 60s. seems like a kind of lazy oversight for such a beautiful car.
@schakalicious6023 Because it works. And frankly, when my car is worth more than the price of a new private jet, I'm not going to trust _anyone_ except myself to touch it. Painting it would destroy its resale value too. Plus, why cover up the gorgeous original paint that's in like-new condition?
There was enough people there that someone would have noticed. Rain maybe less so cause everyone went inside to go dry off but that kind of people weren’t really there
Crazy how people are so scared of a little water, what happens when they have to was the car? I could understand if they were driving some of these cars in the rain, but I'd be more worried about the ground getting to soft from the rain
They aren't scared of the water, they're scared of the contaminants in the rain. When the water evaporates, it leaves behind all sorts of crap from the atmosphere. These contaminants have the potential to create marks in the paint during cleaning (acting as an abrasive). When you have a few hundred man-hours in a polished paint job, it becomes harder to justify allowing the painted surfaces to get rained on and need to be cleaned. This is the only reason I don't polish my paints. I think I would cry if I spent a week making it look perfect, then having it get swirly due to my outdoor parking arraignment :/
The problem with these rarer autos is they are far too valuable to take on a track day, and are horrendous to drive for a long period of time. So, your garage ornament either plays the concourse game or sits at home. Beautiful GTO, seems a tad overvalued according to this video.
lol... I was going to attend what i thought was a car show consisting of mostly Ferraris. You know, park your car, grab a bottle of water, and walk around and admire the beautiful automobiles. Unfortunately I never got to see them because when I pulled up they wanted a "donation" of $20 from each of us. We drove up (in my Hyundai) and they looked like they wanted to direct us to the servant's entrance. My buddy asked, "We have to pay rich guys to look at their cars?"

It's fairly normal for an official Ferrari show. Owners / club membres get in free, spectators pay. Non-Ferraris not allowed in the main parking area... I saw a Zonda parked among the Mondeos one year simply for not being a Ferrari.

Best thing about these cars is they are essentially priceless (obviously there’s always a price). But, since they are nowhere close to being original accidents and such do not diminish the value of them, but participating in events improves their value
I remember a long time ago seeing a mid-1930s Packard out driving down the street in the rain. After taking that in, I noticed that the windshield wipers were on (because of course they were. It was raining) and it occurred to me. I'd never actually seen the windshield wipers on any car from that era actually moved before.
Back in the 70s l bought a garage full of Ferrari and some other ltalian car parts. Engines transmissions transaxles suspension pieces a couple entire frames etc. One of these engine was a tipo 168u, a version of the same Columbo V-12 in the GTO. After setting on this stuff for almost 20 years l came across a guy that hand makes custom bodies. He was building a 59 Testarossa for a customer who fell ill and could no longer drive so l negotiated a deal and brought it home. It is the single grill conventional front fender TR without the helmet fairing (trunk bump) Dark gray, black seats, it looks fabulous and sounds even better. True to form it has A arm front suspension Ferrari sourced with coils, leafs in the back holding a Fiat Spyder rear. Most importantly it has the feel makes the noise and has the looks of a late 50s sports racer, very close to the GTO. The man who did the body js an artist. I love this car
You’d think with Ferrari keeping the fxx’s and only giving them to you on track day, that they would take these cars back and say no more 😂. They should be in a glass case. And for anyone that thinks otherwise- these rich guys can build an exact replica, these don’t need to be driven. If there’s any car that’s a garage queen it should be that. They are history. That’s like using dinosaur bones to make stuff like, you could use any animal, keep history historical
How bad would it of looked for his company if the guy who made his fortune in weatherproof floormats ran from the rain. If you can afford a 77 million dollar car, you can afford to have anything that would happen to said car fixed. Its just a giant metal box people. Its also kinda genius if youre the weathertech guy selling floormats lol
Why would he need to weather tech doing well for its self. And he probably gets more cred for stuff being as original as possible on the vehicle so modern floor mats probably a no go
I believe there was only around 30 of these ever built. Of all the cars ever built, it was already extremely exclusive. Now it is considered one of the most beautiful ever built and possibly the most desirable car a man could own
They race these at Goodwood and a few have even taken pretty big hits. It was built to be a 24 hour endurance racer and from what drivers have said these are pretty robust cars
It might come as a huge surprise, but cars don't actually melt when they get rained on. I drive every one of my collector vehicles in the rain if it's raining heading to, during, or coming home from a show or a cruise.
@@kingtiger3390Right so? A 70 million $ car is going to be just fine getting rained on a little, it's a car it is meant to be driven and it has a windshield wiper which tells me that whoever built this car expected it to get wet.
There's a photo of a ferrari gto being loaded over a wooden bed truck in italy in the 1950s , they probably loaded it without a care at all, this car where meant to be racing over dirt roads and bumps, and where probably left outside every night out of an old mechanic shop
All I gotta say man, if you love the car and own the car, do whatever you want, it is your money, and treat it how you want because regardless, it is... Your car, being treated like a car seeing the light of day, just something great for collection cars.
Something that is not that well understood is this - when you buy an ultra rare, desirable and valuable car like this, what you're buying isn't the car itself but the VIN (manufacturer's plate) and the history. No matter what the car has been through, no matter what damage has been done to it, it can be restored to this level of perfection with new, NOS, fabricated parts, etc. with no loss in value.
WOW weather tech founder is doing really well to pay 77 million for a car. Man i would have never thought he be that wealthy off floor liners. I knew he would be doing good. But not that good, because if you're paying 77 million for one car, he must be worth around a billion or more. I am sure google would tell me but i rather guess.
No wonder WT floor mats are so costly. I cant say ive been terribly impressed with mine. That being said, love that GTO, and props for letting it out in the weather

he just made a short about just a wet car, no other info, just yep, it got wet and is old, mostly wet tho, wow wet
Valued at over $77000000.00 and it has a crappy Fram oil filter on it. Crazy.
77 mill for an old ass car with 300 horsepower.
I'm never impressed by somebody's money buying a nice car. I'm always more impressed by the average joe building their own vehicle. #builtnotbought
I had no idea rain would have such an utterly unrecognizable effect when it recognizes the Ferrari logo
I'm more amazed that selling car mats gives you 77mil to blow on one car.
They are nice mats but still..😅
If you ask me the rain adds to the beauty of the car. It really makes the silver body work pop
Rain is spot free it’s good bro
🔥🔥🔥 amazing & he’s right when was the last time a car like this had pics of rain on it
I remember a long time ago seeing a mid-1930s Packard out driving down the street in the rain. After taking that in, I noticed that the windshield wipers were on (because of course they were. It was raining) and it occurred to me. I'd never actually seen the windshield wipers on any car from that era actually moved before.
Agreed, what a true champion! I love WeatherTech, my WRX has WeatherTech front to back.
No way he's running a FRAM filter 🥸
If weather tech made weather resistant coatings for cars this would be a really good ad.
Saw a few of those (along with other 250's) at Goodwood's revival this year. They sure sound good
For $77 million, I can build a perfect replica!
And have $75M left over.
I got to ride in one many years ago! I'll never forget the sound of that engine to this day!
The founder of 'weather tech' probably isn't afraid of some rain bro
Beautiful car with hideous looking exhaust tips. Looks like they came out of a 2002 tuner magazine lol
I mean it's rain. I get it's cartoonishly expensive but isn't it priceless seeing the rain on it. It looks amazing
I love how everyone is assuming you haye seeing cars wet, when you clearly clarified that you actually liked this.
Show this to your homie with the shit box next time they use rain as an excuse 😂
Not the same, homies car leaks in the rain
@@yipperdipper3189 So do 60's Ferraris!
thanks for pointing out that rain on the car definitely didn’t notice it
Back in the 70s l bought a garage full of Ferrari and some other ltalian car parts. Engines transmissions transaxles suspension pieces a couple entire frames etc. One of these engine was a tipo 168u, a version of the same Columbo V-12 in the GTO. After setting on this stuff for almost 20 years l came across a guy that hand makes custom bodies. He was building a 59 Testarossa for a customer who fell ill and could no longer drive so l negotiated a deal and brought it home. It is the single grill conventional front fender TR without the helmet fairing (trunk bump) Dark gray, black seats, it looks fabulous and sounds even better. True to form it has A arm front suspension Ferrari sourced with coils, leafs in the back holding a Fiat Spyder rear. Most importantly it has the feel makes the noise and has the looks of a late 50s sports racer, very close to the GTO. The man who did the body js an artist. I love this car
ADHD version: it gets wet
You’d think with Ferrari keeping the fxx’s and only giving them to you on track day, that they would take these cars back and say no more 😂. They should be in a glass case. And for anyone that thinks otherwise- these rich guys can build an exact replica, these don’t need to be driven. If there’s any car that’s a garage queen it should be that. They are history. That’s like using dinosaur bones to make stuff like, you could use any animal, keep history historical
How bad would it of looked for his company if the guy who made his fortune in weatherproof floormats ran from the rain. If you can afford a 77 million dollar car, you can afford to have anything that would happen to said car fixed. Its just a giant metal box people. Its also kinda genius if youre the weathertech guy selling floormats lol
Imagine if an unexpected hail storm came by one of these events
Always knew those mats were overpriced
250 GTO in the rain: 🗿🍷
It’s a missed opportunity for advertisement if he didn’t throw some WeatherTech floor liners in that car with everyone looking at it
Why would he need to weather tech doing well for its self. And he probably gets more cred for stuff being as original as possible on the vehicle so modern floor mats probably a no go
I believe there was only around 30 of these ever built. Of all the cars ever built, it was already extremely exclusive. Now it is considered one of the most beautiful ever built and possibly the most desirable car a man could own
So cool! Love to see it in the piblic.
And why people are freaked out?! It's made from steel, not from sugar, rain is not a problem
They race these at Goodwood and a few have even taken pretty big hits. It was built to be a 24 hour endurance racer and from what drivers have said these are pretty robust cars
Crazy this car took on rain and didn't fall apart
Very rare now a days.......
It might come as a huge surprise, but cars don't actually melt when they get rained on. I drive every one of my collector vehicles in the rain if it's raining heading to, during, or coming home from a show or a cruise.
I doubt your whole collection is worth 1/50 of that thing though.
@@kingtiger3390Right so? A 70 million $ car is going to be just fine getting rained on a little, it's a car it is meant to be driven and it has a windshield wiper which tells me that whoever built this car expected it to get wet.
77mill and lets it face the elements. Absolute mad lad
It gets wet when it’s Washed?
Ferrari sued him later for letting the rain touch that his Ferrari
There's a photo of a ferrari gto being loaded over a wooden bed truck in italy in the 1950s , they probably loaded it without a care at all, this car where meant to be racing over dirt roads and bumps, and where probably left outside every night out of an old mechanic shop
i love the look of metallic cars in the rain, it just makes me satisfied for some reason lol😭
That door window being cracked open hurt my heart 0:27
They're all different, the 250 GTO's, btw
Even a short rainfall with bery little acid rain in it is unlikely to be any problem for the car
All I gotta say man, if you love the car and own the car, do whatever you want, it is your money, and treat it how you want because regardless, it is... Your car, being treated like a car seeing the light of day, just something great for collection cars.
Something that is not that well understood is this - when you buy an ultra rare, desirable and valuable car like this, what you're buying isn't the car itself but the VIN (manufacturer's plate) and the history. No matter what the car has been through, no matter what damage has been done to it, it can be restored to this level of perfection with new, NOS, fabricated parts, etc. with no loss in value.
Everyone freaking out about rain like their car wasn’t washed with water a few hours before the show 😂
WOW weather tech founder is doing really well to pay 77 million for a car. Man i would have never thought he be that wealthy off floor liners. I knew he would be doing good. But not that good, because if you're paying 77 million for one car, he must be worth around a billion or more. I am sure google would tell me but i rather guess.
No wonder WT floor mats are so costly. I cant say ive been terribly impressed with mine. That being said, love that GTO, and props for letting it out in the weather
I'm loving the Fram oil filter. $77 million for the Ferrari, $11.99 for the oil filter sold at fine retailers everywhere
Spirit of weathertech
They put so much care into preserving that car, it can handle a little water.
So whats the difference between washing it or it sits in the rain?????
Dont care
Cared enough to comment lol
