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 :/
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 not like it was a fundraiser for a children's hospital or cancer research. It was a bunch of rich guys who wanted us to pay to see their cars, hosted at a country club. So instead we took off and found a taco joint. Us "plain folk" know how to have a good time.
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.
@@masonbogan436 If we're talking modern cars, maybe. Classic Ferraris were all built by hand. Even the panels were beaten and shaped by hand so each one is unique.
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.
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
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
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.
why are some idiots shaming people for taking care of their car. sure they dont need to protect it from rain but it shows how much they care about their very expensive property. these idiots just dont understand and talk out of their asses. if you had a car like this you would and should do the same thing
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
That car raced. Racing could mean crashing, which it luckily didnt. For all you know, the thing couldve ran through mud/sand when going off the track, or raced through water (god forbid for you), so maybe dont foam at the mouth next time that beautiful hunk of metal gets wet.
Usually at a show like this the cars are immaculate. They will go as far as plucking any grass or dirt out of the tires before judging. This is no ordinary 250. Not that there really is an ordinary 250. This particular car has a racing pedigree as long as your arm.
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
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.
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
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
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

Valued at over $77000000.00 and it has a crappy Fram oil filter on it. Crazy.
77mill and lets it face the elements. Absolute mad lad
why are some idiots shaming people for taking care of their car. sure they dont need to protect it from rain but it shows how much they care about their very expensive property. these idiots just dont understand and talk out of their asses. if you had a car like this you would and should do the same thing
For $77 million, I can build a perfect replica!
Bro That Supra What 💀
How incredibly beautiful! Mona Lisa, eat your heart out! I would rather get a chance to drive this one time than own any painting ever made!
When Enzo Ferrari said that the Jaguar E-Type was the prettiest car ever built, this thing hadn't come out yet. What a wonderful machine...
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
Even a short rainfall with bery little acid rain in it is unlikely to be any problem for the car
They put so much care into preserving that car, it can handle a little water.
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
kinda crazy the whether tech guy is from my town and owns the mercedes dealership 😂
That car raced. Racing could mean crashing, which it luckily didnt. For all you know, the thing couldve ran through mud/sand when going off the track, or raced through water (god forbid for you), so maybe dont foam at the mouth next time that beautiful hunk of metal gets wet.
Spirit of weathertech
I'm loving the Fram oil filter. $77 million for the Ferrari, $11.99 for the oil filter sold at fine retailers everywhere
This man creases his Jays.
Usually at a show like this the cars are immaculate. They will go as far as plucking any grass or dirt out of the tires before judging. This is no ordinary 250. Not that there really is an ordinary 250. This particular car has a racing pedigree as long as your arm.
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
I mean it's rain. I get it's cartoonishly expensive but isn't it priceless seeing the rain on it. It looks amazing
That's a Datsun Z with a fiberglass body.
Everyone freaking out about rain like their car wasn’t washed with water a few hours before the show 😂
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.
How is that big news my man?
For $77,000,000 that car better sing, dance and make me dinner every night!
Dont care
Cared enough to comment lol
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!
a bit of rain isn't going to destroy the car
I love how everyone is assuming you haye seeing cars wet, when you clearly clarified that you actually liked this.
I figured with mats I bought from weathertech I paid for at least 1 nut in that car. You're welcome Dave. 😂
They’re not pieces of art they’re pieces of metal meant to be driven. Has a racing livery and everything.
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
That SSC Tuatara shouldve joined the ferrari😂
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
Concourse de Elegance is a great show, enjoy it every year.
Dang so that’s why my weather tech mats are so expensive LOL
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
The 2nd most expensive car in the world, deserves a bath.
