This entire video is so romantic. Filled with so much heritage and history... the cars, the garage, the signatures on the cars, the old photographs, and of course, the stories. Amazing.
What a fantastic reportage with a fantastic life, Sr. Luciano Rupolo! One life to live again, and this .... with some supercars! "You keep your money" "I keep your car" :) Looked at it with great respect!
I love his no nonsense approach to the cars. He doesn't not pick their modifications, and is adamant about being understood as a period enthusiast... not a collector chasing a fad or fascination.
Tremendous work everyone. It was great listening to Mr. Rupolo tell his stories with your great eye for visuals. The combination of his personality and the vehicles are really great. I also was a big fan of the Italian groove track.
I felt as though I have known this man all of my life. I could listen to his stories for half the day. The rest of the time would be in the workshop, or driving the cars! Wonderful passionato!
Another lovely episode of a car collector and his adventures of Bizzarini, Ferrari & specially the Porsche #004 . #enjoyed #respect #keepyourmoneyikeepyourcar
this is one of my old time favorite car videos. what an awesome character and the Bizzarrini what an awesome beauty. we talk 401ks and crap like that, this guy is seating on at least 6 million dollars (probably more) of cars and loves every minute of it.
A testament to humanity. I felt like I was sitting across from him in awe gripped by his fascinating story. I could see the events happening in my mind as he was speaking. Amazing and inspiring.
fantastic......to BE a CAR GUY..to love the visual and visceral experience automobiles offer ..and to have beautiful classic examples in ones own garage.....that is the dream

I follow a fair number of Italian art, design, music and automobile channels though I do not speak the language and can only understand it a bit. Yours are by far the best translated subtitles I have seen. Thank you and keep up the good work. Forza Locals!
+TheIDGE Ahh but he also said, "Not to be presumptuous, its the compensation for my passion, not luck." I think he revealed his secret in the last line: successful people make decisions and stick to it without looking back with regret.
What a lovely old gentleman! What a life he has led! What spirit! What an Icon! If I could meet him one day I would treasure that forever. What impeccable taste and elegance! And the sweet boxer dog popping in and out now and then! I’d like to grow old gracefully like this!
I have a 1974 Porsche 911 that I've had for 25+ years; it's been with me through girlfriends, marriages, deaths, betrayals and a myriad of other disasters. It's like a mistress that's always so glad to see you; who greets you at the door with a passionate kiss and your favorite wine.
For almost 20 years I owned a Bizzarrini GT Strada, #0324., which is now in Austria. A brilliantly engineered and ridiculously fast car, that was totally impractical as a road car. So low, you could drive it underneath a tractor trailer. The same year of buying her, I had a shot at the very first Ferrari 250 GTO...Bizzarrini's engineering triumph. Those days are gone. Today, I alternate between a Maserati QP, 2012, and a 2014 Grantourismo Cabriolet....the last of Pininfarina's grand designs. As fast as the Bizzarrini, but more comfortable and practical. But...seeing the vid of the Bizz brought back memories....
Cavolo, è un peccato che pochi di questi gloriosi marchi del passato sfornino ancora supercar, per fortuna ci sono ancora collezionisti appassionati come questo buon signore... Quella Bizzarrini però è qualcosa di stupendo...
This guy rocks. Small business owner, buys a Ferrari..picks up a Bizzanrini. Does not believe in luck...it is the reward for his passion; that he stumbles upon the oldest registered Porsche.
bravo!! you don’t need subtitles to realise the passion in his voice, a garage we all dream of, nice that he sees the value in the mini, even if it’s only for keeping helmets off the floor, probably because it a later seventies model.
Molto bella! I don't know much about some of his cars, but the Bizzorini is a VERY rare exotic! Too cool that he's a retired mechanic besides a collector! John in Texas
Complimenti x le auto m appassionano quelle d'epoca la bizzarrini e' spettacolare solo veri intenditori capiscono questi gioielli...solo averle in garage e guardarle danno tanto . Luca
Mama mia!!! Beautiful, beautiful cars. And, talk about impressive. It seems every car featured in the video, has a significant importance, that only adds to the value of these breathtaking works of art. I wonder if he drives them all on a regular basis?
This is the coolest video I have seen in a very long time. Great cars collection with great stories. And a lucky son of a gun, who owns them, but fantastic guy. Thank you very much for sharing! cheers
Gracias por subirlo, una historia interesantísima la de este señor, en una imágen en la que está conduciendo se le ve sonriendo como si fuese un niño, le comprendo.
Great video, a true Italian gentleman. But the music is better suited to a video regarding Detroit muscle cars. Some classic Italian music would have been more suitable.

This is the best car video of all time

What a man, car passion flowing through his veins.
Uomo molto sincero , complimenti per la passione .
This entire video is so romantic. Filled with so much heritage and history... the cars, the garage, the signatures on the cars, the old photographs, and of course, the stories. Amazing.
Luciano Rupolo is such a delightful man. The high quality production of this video is wonderful.
I love your video. Rare story. I just subscribed 🙏🇺🇸
It's a crying shame this isn't a series. I would listen to accounts from similar characters all day long.
his car collection is amazing... not the usual mainstream u see at car collectors garages....
What a story....
A piece of the italian motorist story .... this man
What a fantastic reportage with a fantastic life, Sr. Luciano Rupolo! One life to live again, and this .... with some supercars! "You keep your money" "I keep your car" :) Looked at it with great respect!
Spectacular piece. Mr.Lupolo is great! Director Edoardo Vojvodais simply stellar.
I come and watch this video at least twice a year. Coolest dude with the coolest cars.
I love his no nonsense approach to the cars. He doesn't not pick their modifications, and is adamant about being understood as a period enthusiast... not a collector chasing a fad or fascination.
Tremendous work everyone. It was great listening to Mr. Rupolo tell his stories with your great eye for visuals. The combination of his personality and the vehicles are really great. I also was a big fan of the Italian groove track.
Absolute gem of a video!!
What a beautiful story and what incredible bloke
This is the kind of guy that car guys want to grow up to be.
This is how I want to become old: graceful, relaxed, and driving fabulous cars.
Id hang out with this guy all day even though I woudnt understand a word
mzondi1970 I'm with you !
i'm with you too
Count me in also.
Im in !!!!!!!
Semplicemente fantastico! Ottimo esempio di filmografia italiana sportiva e di approfondimento.
Watching this in 2021, and wow. This just shows when things are done well, like cars and videos, they are timeless. Well done! I loved it!
I felt as though I have known this man all of my life. I could listen to his stories for half the day. The rest of the time would be in the workshop, or driving the cars!
Wonderful passionato!
"You keep your money"
"I keep your car"
Classic
but he sold the car anyway, money talks
Please make more car videos like this one.. That smile at 7:25.. Priceless
This is the kind of grandad I hope to be to my kids’ kids several decades from now. Wow. I thoroughly enjoyed all 17mins of this clip. Pure rascal.
Fantastic! His cars are stunning. That blue 250, oh my!!! Thanks so much for sharing, what an incredible life.
+Josh Charlie Thank you Josh!

Amazing !! You keep your money & I’ll keep your car!! Brilliant

Fasinating story.

Un Italiano di altri tempi... MERAVIGLIOSO
What a great guy - and what a lovely film. Great story.
This was a great film! Awesome story behind all the cars and especially the Barn Find Porsche #004! EPIC!
Beautiful docu. I really enjoyed watching it.
And finding out the story about that Porsche.

What a collection, what a life - what a guy!
This man is a Legend
Beautiful footage. I worked on the design of the 2006 Bizzarrini 4.1V GTS Ghepardo so its great to see the Iso Grifo Competizione in more detail.
this was awesome. amazing soundtrack as well!

Bruce Thiel Thank you Bruce for your appreciation and support! We'll be back soon with new stuff
"I think I've been very lucky", understatement of the century!!

Ahh but he also said, "Not to be presumptuous, its the compensation for my passion, not luck." I think he revealed his secret in the last line: successful people make decisions and stick to it without looking back with regret.
I remember this car at Sebring. 1965, the year of the great rain was the first time I went. Returned 16 times.
What a wonderful video and story.
this is the coolest video on TH-cam

Very cool video and music. Great job!!
what a story ! thanks so much for sharing such a wonderful documentary of the first ever Porsche
Difficile non amare queste meraviglie su quattro ruote. Bellissima collezione, quanta invidia... Video bellissimo!
Awesome video and what an enthusiast. He bought what he liked not what he thought would make him money. Deepest respect.
Cavolo, è un peccato che pochi di questi gloriosi marchi del passato sfornino ancora supercar, per fortuna ci sono ancora collezionisti appassionati come questo buon signore...
Quella Bizzarrini però è qualcosa di stupendo...
Thank you for sharing a wonderful History, and collection
This guy rocks. Small business owner, buys a Ferrari..picks up a Bizzanrini. Does not believe in luck...it is the reward for his passion; that he stumbles upon the oldest registered Porsche.
Video meraviglioso! Colori, montaggio, storia, complimenti davvero!
Bravo, veramente una vita meravigliosa! Mi piace il cane di nome Cooper.
Such a good talker and amazing fleet of cars.
I could hear this man talk for days
0:15 Beautiful, just beautiful. The front of the car looks a lot like the old 124 Spider.
Awesome man and his collection.
What a nice video!!! And a nice name for the dog too... COOPER!!!
bravo!!
you don’t need subtitles to realise the passion in his voice, a garage we all dream of, nice that he sees the value in the mini, even if it’s only for keeping helmets off the floor, probably because it a later seventies model.

Gracias por subirlo, una historia interesantísima la de este señor, en una imágen en la que está conduciendo se le ve sonriendo como si fuese un niño, le comprendo.
What a beautiful Bizarrini!!

La Classe ça c'est authentique très beau merci
Excellent video. Keep up the good work.
Unreal, and what a character. I'll take the 250 GtE please.
I could have watched a couple more hours of this.
Great video, a true Italian gentleman. But the music is better suited to a video regarding Detroit muscle cars. Some classic Italian music would have been more suitable.
