Get your wallet out
My Carly is so good, it can't tell the car battery is.. dead?! And the Carly tech support replied told me:
"However, since the OBD function is not included in the annual license and is provided free of charge, we are afraid that we cannot offer refunds or other benefits."
No joke, it's a scam on an insane scale. "Because OBD is free, they aren't obliged to ANYTHING?"
Congratulations on not ruining your pants when you saw that Muira. 😂
I hope Magnus Walker watches this episode, Tavarish🧐
buy the red one and put it on a hurrican platform best of 2
The guy who owned this junkyard, its actually a pretty amazing tale. He literally had pallets of Mercedes Gull Wings stacked 10 cars high. He would basically buy every crashed Porsche or Mercs he could get his hands on. These are just the left overs and all together its probably still worth over 100 million dollars.
it's absolutely nuts!
You also watched "The guy in my Nana's Hat",?
how did he afford to buy so many expensive car wrecks?
@@NichoTBEback in the day most of these were just crashed junk cars
@@NichoTBE Had to stash that cartel money in some kind of assets that could then be then sold on the books.
I have to say TOTAL RESPECT for Jay. A car collector that actually drives his cars and lets other sit and drive them.
Had the pleasure of meeting Jay up at Angeles Crest Highway recently. He randomly showed up alone in his Carrera GT. He took time to speak to everyone and was humble enough to have a genuine 1on1 convo with me. Solid guy
Nahh, Zero Respect for Jay. He a rat for how he left the tonight show.
@@GucciGoblins who cares about that??
Jay is a cool car guy, unless you're Conan, then he'll steal your job and ruin your life 😂😂
And he has an amazing memory of all the details of his collection. A true enthusiast.
Jay knowing EVERY last detail of every car he owns is so impressive. Weight, year, mileage, what he's done to it, proper care, mechanical information, etc etc etc. Such a badass man
I could listen to him for days talking about cars 🙌🏾❤️
The fact that they got him on this video is enough for me now I'm stuck I have to watch them
haha. He's forgotten more about cars than I'll know. And I know more about cars than most people
Hes part of the black eye club
He said “this is never happened in the history of humanity”
I think he is right because what’s happening in Gaza never happened in the history of humanity.
You have to love Jay's FIRST question....he doesn't hesitate, and asks what every classic guy asks... 'Was it outside or inside' like he was buying a 1964 1/2 Mustang......YES.... you MUST get this car
Yeah he should buy IMO
Barn is both, outside and inside at the same time. 😂
lol he still couldn’t afford it. That’s still a million dollar car.
Jay is a good man. Awesome that he made time to talk to you and all of us. Thank you!
Leno'ss Awesome..!..but, fukk..he's 2 shakes away from Dr. byy byee
Love Jay love tavarish, but at the end tavarish calls Jay dude. He says thanks, dude idk why I think it's funny.
@@dizcret You soon will be too, Some of old age while others because of disease. Don't make fun of inevitable.
Hats off to "Mr. Wrench Every Day". I'm now 78 and drove a Miura in my younger days. Didn't own it but did drive it. People can't imagine just how "cool" that car was way back then. The only suggestion I would have is if you wind up getting this car...and restoring it...drive it and enjoy it. The time between 30 and 78 goes JUST LIKE THAT! When you look back, you want to remember the things you did and not the things you didn't do. Enjoy your passion and if your passion is CARS, enjoy them. Cars are made to be driven and enjoyed. That's what it's all about.
Amen sir, you are absolutely right. Enjoy the day because before you know, it's your last. Sometimes we have to stop and look around once in a while and take it in
Tavarish, I’ve been watching your videos since I was 12. I’m turning 20 this month. You have shaped many peoples love for cars and ultimately lives including mine. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you.
Happy birthday 🎈
love it, but man you make me feel old.
Hope he has allowed you to find your passion with cars and you one day get to restore your dream car.
Freddy you are the best.
@@shreyasshetty5631 thanks
How to challenge yourself after a flooded P1 rebuild.... a barn find Miura is the way to go 🤣
Still eagerly waiting for the next p1 episode
a Miuira would be world's easier to build than the P1 lol
No it wouldn't who sell Miura parts
To get back to factory would take years of hard searching unless you went after market and even then the research and development would take a lot of time
@@itschris785 If they are available, Freddy will find them or make them.
Love the fact any chance Jay gets to talk about cars and their history and backgrounds, he jumps at the chance. What an absolute hero.
Freddie , Jay is THE go-to guy , not only because he has a couple of Muira's but he knows virtually everything about them , his collection is 2nd to none , his garage is 2nd to none , when it comes to older cars , he's the G.O.A.T
I was a part of a restoration on a 69 p400s that was at amelia island in 2019. It won the "youtuber award" handed out by doug, tyler hoover, and yourself. I have some parts left over. As well as knowledge of where to find other parts, quirks with these cars, and everything else you learn building one from the ground up. Im available to chat
way cool
I could sit and listen to Jay talk about his life and his cars for hours. One of my favorite people on the planet today, he’s so classy I LOVE it.
The Lamborghini Muira really put Lamborghini on the map. One of the best looking cars ever made and the glorious V12 engine
Panteras kinda remind me of these cars.😂
@@CanadianArcheologist those remind me of the countach
@@asifnoaman8978 For me, the pantera looks a lot more like the urraco
Dude in Buffalo drives his Muira around like a Civic. It’s worth millions but will legit drive it to cars and coffee like it’s no thing.
Y'all just calling the Miura a Muira like... I see this in every Miura related comment section ever, why?? 🤣
I love Jay Leno knowledge of cars, and the stories are awesome. What a great friend to have if you ever need to know the history of certain vehicles.
This video reminds me of the best comment about Jay Leno I've ever heard, "Jay Leno is the world's best car museum docent."
He knows everything, and you could listen to him talk about cars all day.
I honestly wish you were the one to become the owner of that Miura. It would be incredible to see how it is put together and saved instead of it being stashed away forever by a collector.
Today was the day when I realised how much I love cars cuz, when I saw him showcasing these Old automotive LEGENDS rotting in a junkyard my heart started pounding extremely fast, it felt like my heart was going to tear apart...
I just sat here in awe through the whole video. Many of these cars I had posters of in my room when I was a child. Although these cars are rotting away I could still see the beauty and felt like a kid again. I love cars. I love being around car enthusiasts. It's been my passion and sanity throughout life.
You and me both, I was just drooling over everything 😢
It’s probably tachycardia, you should probably get that checked out 😂😂
Yeah, made me pretty sad to see all of them the way they were, restoring any of those would be so amazing (except for the wallet)
Literal goosebumps the entire time. Crazy
31:11 "A couple ozempics and you're in there!" lmfao Jay is a legend
I love this ! They are dragging every auto influencer out to this divine junk pile. God bless hoarders with taste & vision.
Jay Leno is truly the greatest man. Glad to see you guys keep filming and that he gave you stick for the P1.
Jay was always one of my favorite people! His knowledge of cars always amazes me!
Jay is a great collector and knowledgeable historian..a wealth of knowledge..great video!
I love him looking at the blue Miura that needs a front clip, and mentioning that they're not available anywhere. When there's a front clip from a blue Miura sitting in the back of a transporter right outside..
I had exactly the same thought, so I bet did quite a few people
weirdly, they are two different cars
@@tavarish So excited you can't sleep!?? hehe
Freddy's classic workshop coming to RUclips real soon! Fingers crossed.
@@tavarish You mean 2 different Muras possibly destined to be one?
@@tavarish I assume you mean the underpinnings are different and not just two different VIN's. Regardless, I'd love to see you end up with one of the Miuras!
my friend "jay leno" such an awesome flex!
Pretty inspiring, Tavarish came from wrenching in a driveway to being friends with someone who despite being a comfortably retired celebrity Jay will cameo in Freddie’s episode simply because they both love cars, says a lot about both of those guys.
You think Jay really thinks he's his friend LOLOLOL.
@@TheresanewAuditorintown I don't think it's that much of a stretch. He's certainly spent a fair amount of time with him at this point.
I was just thinking i could see J Leno doing some purchasing
@@Daermos Jay owns a Yellow Miura . Mint condition all original.
Out of all the big collections out there, I've always thought Jay has the best. You can tell he's a real car nut and he has the best of the best. He drives them all and knows the history on every single car he owns
He also works on his own cars. Which is a massive shocker since someone of his caliber would just straight out send their car to a high end shop.
I'll be honest. Been a fan for years. This has been my favorite video ever. Absolutely enjoyed every second of this as a 57 year old man who has this same passion, but the pocket is a bit light. Lol.
Imagine being a fan of a loser
I love how down to earth Jay is when talking cars and knows his stuff. What a gentleman
Tavarish you have one of the best and most rounded automotive channels that’s out there. You really never know what you’re gonna get and that’s a great thing when most channels just copy each other.
I was in Lamborghini museum this year. There was gold Miura P400S on the display. What a beauty, what a piece of art
7:40 no, they didn't have the flat 6. Only flat 4s. The flat six came with the first 911, even the 912 (which looks like an early 911) only had 4 cylinders. If you see a 356 with a 6 cylinder engine, then it's a swap. Not the original engine.
☝️🤓
You are completely right!
“Both” haha😂
In fact, the 912 used the most powerful version of the flat four pushrod engine used in the 356.
I was going to point that out, but knew someone would beat me 😃, the only "special" engine that came for the 356 was the Carrera four cam "Fuhrmann" motor - but it was still a four banger.
Wow, when you said that you but that Lamborghini 7 years ago I realized I’ve been watching for at least 7 years. Incredible, you’re awesome man
The Miura is absolutely one of the most beautiful and influential cars ever made. It goes without saying that I'd love to watch you rebuild/restore it. As much as I am in love with the P1 Evo, I think the Miura might be one of the only cars that I could see topping it.
Our man has aged gracefully like the rest of us. Thanks for giving us so many great years and so many great projects
Jay is the most knowlegeable car enthusiast and still the most humble one out there!
Easily the coolest junkyard in the entire world, the history that rests there is amazing. So many legendary cars at one place.
If that miura would be restored on RUclips if would be the biggest accomplishment on RUclips and for Freddy. I think this would be a good buy.
one of the beat automotive youtube pieces i have ever seen. the goosebumps i got when those miuras were unvield was amazing
A good friend of mine had a Muira with a Holman-Moody NASCAR engine in it. He bought it in 1978 from an exotic car dealership in Newport Beach, CA for $5,500. The prior owner was a dentist who blew up the original engine and made the decision to replace the engine with the Holman-Moody engine. Whenever my friend started up the car it sounded like shotguns going off. He used to take it to the Lamborghini meet-ups at Pebble Beach on a regular basis. One interesting thing is that in the early 2000's he was at an exotic car meet up in LA and Jay Leno walked up to him, looked at the car number, and told him that he (Jay) had the original engine (Jay had bought it as part of some deal). Jay offered to sell the engine to him any time he wanted it. My friend eventually sold his Muira sometime around 2007/2008 to a gentleman from Sweden. I do know he got enough for the car that he paid off his house and bought a new Audi R8. Whether the Swedish gentleman bought the engine from Jay is something I don't know, but is maybe something Jay can confirm to Freddy.
That's an awesome story
Wow
what a story
Based on what Jay says in this video, it sounds like he might still have the engine sitting around!
@@mtbfree Yeah!
It does not surprise me at all that Freddie and Jay have legitimately become friends via their shared love of all things cars. That's such a heartwarmning thing for all of us. Also, thantks Jay for keeping all those cars for us to see when you've passed them on to the next custodian.
Guy literally living a dream of most simple men. Well done bro! Im always happy to see somebody doing well and reaping the rewards of hard work. If you ever see this, I'd like to ask how you got where you are, what was your route. Good luck!
Car guys will always remember this video with Jay as part of automotive history as well as Lambo history. Bravo
Im so happy the owners and Sothebys let you film a story on this! What a crazy situation! Love it. Great video!
They're drumming up interest. It was on Magnus Walkers channel a few days ago.
I know the guy who owned the barn find 67 Miura from Evanston IL in 2015. Remember us car guys going nuts asking about the car. Only got to see it once before I moved. Guy drove it like it deserved to be driven while he had it. Sold it about a year after he got it running.
Crazy I saw one driving down the expressway near Evanston Illinois. Older grey hair male and it looked like a spaceship compared to the other cars driving on the road.
Couple of Ozempics and you will fit right in there 😂😂
That had me rolling!
He should know.
had me dead
I was about to comment this
Lol Jay the absolute savage 😂
Great convo with Jay!
What an absolute gold mine of automobile history! I could spend HOURS there just picking around. Oh man Freddy, living vicariously through you brother!
300 SL, for me ( a German in the late 50s, living in Vegas) the prettiest car EVER made.
I'm soooo jealous you were be able to see this beauty.
The orange Miura in Leno's Garage is sooo beautiful!! Always nice to see the GOAT of night-time television, and the living encyclopedia of cars!!
YES!!! This car belongs with you. You my friend are like a World Heritage site for rare cars. You allow the world to share the passion, joy, beauty, and journey of these cars. You make available for all of us to share these cars, even if its virtually. If this car goes anywhere else, we the public will lose it forever. They should GIVE you the car as part of a co-marketing effort to promote their contribution to the world of rare cars and, like Valvoline for the P1, receive global publicity (yes, we all know who they are), but working with you is great PR.
i loved this video, itnot only showed the passion of tavarish, but it also showed us how much he grew, he started as just some dude who fixed a gallardo ( still impressive) and now he restoring (or wants to restore) legendary cars and even gets to call a legend a friend, tavarish keep it up every bit of succes you have is earned.
Love Jays input and camaraderie! Wishing you the best Freddy!
It makes me happy to see Jay helping you, when it comes to cars, Jay is the Guru people should listen to.
Psshhh. Jay Lenno is a goon.
Team Coco 4 life.
I really enjoy listening to Tavarish as well as Jay. Both so down to earth and their passion and excitement and ability to tell a story is enjoyable.
I like how Jay casually has a ~20 million dollar F1 just chilling there 32:40
Well it’s not just chilling lol…..look where it’s parked 😂😂😂
I cant se no f1 in here
The fact that Tavarish is throwing jokes at Jay Leno is pretty cool!!! Leno is someone I'd love to call a friend...
Hi, I’d be happy to collaborate on Miuras. I have had 9 in the shop in the last year. I re- commissioned Ferrucio Lamborghini’s one and only personal Countach. Interested?
Hello, fellow Riva fan! I sold the first Riva to leave Italy recently on Bring-A-Trailer. The buyer, my new client, is looking for a driver quality Miura. Let me know if there is anything out there!
This comment needs to be higher, this is the collaboration we need!
cap
Wow. Beauty of the internet right here.
No one else currently on planet is more qualified than Tyrrell's. When I first saw the 3 of these, I immediately thought of them arriving at the Tyrrell workshop for several years of rehabilitation.
Every RUclipsr has a Countach. These are Miuras, they are the ultimate legends. GET ONE OF THESE.
“My friend lives close” 😂. Massive flex. Jay is a freaking automotive icon. You sir have made it!
I know its been said a million times, but listening to Jay talk about cars is truly amazing
Tavarish it’s been a while since I’ve visited the channel. This was an incredible video to come back too, great work man glad to see you still pumping out quality stuff
Cooler than any car you've ever had, and you've had some Bangers.
Get it, man. Make the car fit you if you have to.
I guarantee at least one of those 3 will end up in England at Iain Tyrell’s Workshop. You should look at his channel for loads of Miura, Countach restorations or visit him in one of your next UK trips. He restored the actual Ferrari GT Pininfarina owned by Ferrucio Lamborghini that they fitted the tractor clutch to that started the whole Ferrari/lambo disagreement which lead to him making cars in the first place. Also Harry Metcalfe had his Countach and Espada restored there and has some recent videos of his Lambo factory visit.
Iain is the foremost expert. His drive to meet and interview Dallara is one of the best videos on RUclips. He is one of the VERY few capable of a sympathetic restoration of a Miura.
If it gets in the hands of a RUclipsr, it would be borderline criminal.
Leno is the best. Cash helps of course, but he allows the world into his passion. 👍
I remember hearing about this guy. He owned a lot of sought-after cars. Porsche parts/cars, the guy is a legend.
3:27 Nothing wrong with restoring the VW truck too.
@LittleBigMediaCo it is a split window bus, just a single cab
@LittleBigMediaCo🤷♂️ One man’s trash is another man’s treasure.
@LittleBigMediaCowho cares, it's cool and could make a decent rat rod build. Throw an ls in it and put an s10 frame under it if the frame is fubar
Hell yes this would be the ultimate RUclips build!!! And Jay Leno popping up ultimate flex. Insane upload!!
I hope Rod Emory has his sights locked onto a good chunk of those 356's. To think most, if not all of those could be near new condition again through his incredible talent and dedication to restoring those iconic cars. Can't wait to see the auction results!
why only rod emory?
@@Phili89pp lol weird question. Why don't you list all of the other capable shops for us then.
This was by far one of your best videos. Then, at the end with Jay was perfect.
As someone growing up with the most knowledge of 90s-current cars, I learned quite a bit from your videos out to this junkyard. You and Scott are a wealth of knowledge.
Straight up saw the title and said no effing way. So jealous. This would be mind blowing, just watched the Lamborghini movie too
Let me tell you the truth. been a longtime fan. This has been my favorite video ever. Absolutely enjoyed every second of this as a 57 year old man who has this same passion, but the pocket is a bit light. Lol.I'll be honest. Been a fan for years. This has been my favorite video ever. Absolutely enjoyed every second of this as a 57 year old man who has this same passion, but the pocket is a bit light. Lol.
20 million plus F1 casually in the background 😂 Jay just petrol head godfather 👌 😎
There is NO other supercar of any era I'd rather have. I had a die-cast Muira in the 60's and fell in love with it then
Jay is such a laid back sir :)
One of the most beautiful supercars of all time .
idk why but Jay making a Ozempic joke is too funny😂
Jay Leno is a Living LEGEND, it's such a treat to have him on your channel hanging out, talking cars, the Boys 🙌
Saw this on Magnus Walker’s channel. Epic!
Is there link pls
Yes me too, Watched it last night.. Amazing show
Yes "The guy in my Nana's Hat"
@@Michael666CA you only wish you could pull it off without people calling you out.
@@ryurc3033 Facts
If you did buy this you would be crazy to not send this to Iain Tyrell in the UK. There is a reason the big boys use him. Its the nearest you will get to OE restoration. The content wont be as good, but the car will be *perfect*.
Hes commentes about 4 posts above yours
Man. I could literally listen to Jay talk cars ALL DAY EVERYDAY!!!!
With all of the classic Lamborghinis I’m surprised John Temerian hasn’t made a video yet! I feel like he’d be one of the first! What a place!
He’s gonna be bidding hard on this one for sure
He’s going to bid big I bet on these. His group will dig deep I bet.
This build could skyrocket on your channel, no doubt about it, however consider your finances and cars you'll need to let go and what not before falling head over head for that Miura. that being said best wishes to you in your bidding efforts
I cried when you said it was 7 years ago, time flies and i get older now, even tho im not rebuilding a car, but just a 150 scooter bike, it just hit me when you said that,7 years ago i watch your video and decided to do my own project, but now i want to make something similar like what you have done, i want to make a channel and a journey but on a scooter, you and robdahm, are my inspiration , hope you always well and happy, thanks :), sorry for my bad English
Jay Leno car collection is out of this world 😮
Ending the episode with Leno was baller.
you are loved by all your subscribers keep working you earned everything you ever wanted !
Lord, I see you finding cool cars for youtubers in barns all the time. Can I have one please?
That Mercedes 300SL is one of my dream cars. Crazy I remember going past that yard in my Datsun 240z in 1987.
I bet you could have bought those Miuras for cheap if you had just stopped in while it was 1987 lol
yeah but the one in the video ain't worth a million.
240z ❤
Tavarish,, thank you for showing this. I know I may never see these cars back on the road. Epic find my friend!
You wouldn't think there would be even ONE unrestored Miura left in the world, let alone three in the same garage.
That’s the shocking part lol just the feeling of find one would be like uncovering a gem forgotten by time.
But 3 side by side lol like whats next, the ark of the covenant in there too? Lol.
This is the absolute definition of "Car porn". The Porsche collector Magnus Walker beat you to the punch, and posted a video of himself walking around here a few days ago. Very cool. I'd love to see the results of all the car guys restoring lots of this stuff. Thank you.
Jay is always such a treat. Pure car guy through and through. Would love to see the miura build but also yikes on the cost of replacing anything for that car.
Go for the red one. You have motors, retro mod an old Lambo. Break the mold again.
PEE WEE ! It’s a S chassis as well.
Whichever one has the cleanest frame is what to consider imo
Jay Leno is like the Yoda at the automobile world ‼️💯
Ever since I saw the Miura on Top Gear (or was it Wheeler Dealers?) for the first time, I fell in love with it. This car is art on wheels.
If you manage to bid for one of these and get it, of course we'd like to see the restoration project. Who wouldn't?
How have I been watching you for 8 years now that is crazy.
Jay Leno what a legend ❤
Man Jay is such a class act. Love your content man, I love learning about the history on these beautiful cars!
2:42 the npc when you press "e" on them but you are too far
Look on RUclips for the opening scenes of the 1969 film "The Italian Job" to see the most famous Miura of them all, not long ago found and sold for a vast sum.
Wow Reggie, I didn't know that, how interesting. I had totally forgotten about that Lambo, funnily I remember the Jaguar E-type in that Film, that got thrown over the Cliff lol. Brilliant Memory, thanks Mate. 🙏👌👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
@@liamegan4303 My gran was a big Matt Monro fan and I always think of her with those opening titles. A Quincy Jones song I believe.
The one that got destroyed by the mafia in the opening scene was a crash tested one so it was junk anyway. The film company were to retreve the remains from the valley the following day but someone unknown took it!
@@aidanmv137cw I think the real one has been on Ian Tyrrell's channel
