  1. It's the Holy Grail of all car rebuilds, and is definitely going to put him on the map much more so than ever before! Freddy himself said it best when he said there were a LOT of eyes on this, and it's like the whole world is going to be watching this. I think he'll be fine.

  2. On tonight's Car Trek: Ed does something out of character, Tyler goes for a spin, and Freddie learns to fly!

  4. To those who think the auction was rigged: I know for a fact that the other Youtube Channel 'Rebuild Rescue' was also a serious bidder with real interest in this plane and kept bidding until they got knocked out. It's actually how I found Jimmy's channel in the first place!

  5. Originally, the entire front end of the car was supposed to turn but engineers found that to be highly unsafe as it messed with the aerodynamics of the care itself, and thus, the turning cyclops headlight was born!

  6. Anyone remember that movie 'Race the Sun'? it was about a team of High Schoolers doing this with some assistance from Colorado University. Even though they didn't place, they DID finish which was quite an accomplishment for a high school team back in the 90's competing against universities and tech schools from around the world.

  7. When you ship a car across the pond, do you have to change out license plates, or can you just register the American plates in Europe as well as the states?

  9. Tavarish buys the single most questionable vehicle history McLaren ever Ed: "ohgawdammit... NOBODY out Bolians Ed Bolian!" turns to the 'new owners' Hey guys, let's make a deal!

  12. The funniest part is that Ed's already offered to possibly trade it for the El-Chapo Murder F-1, wherever it winds up. (Seriously, a car like that won't hidden forever!)

  13. Rumor has it, Ed is still pinching himself!

  14. Blues Brothers, hands down! The mall chase scene was epic enough on it's own, but then the rest of the movie where they set a world record for most number of cars trashed in a single movie!
    6
  15. Ever seen 'License to Drive'? The final scene of the movie is a race to the hospital in reverse; HILARIOUS!!!

  16. Something he neglected to mention is that the Volvo 7xx & 9xx series are practically indestructible, same for the Aisen Warner transmissions they put in them.

  17. To his credit, it IS rather difficult ordering food at 140 miles an hour! 🤣🤣🤣

  18. LMFAO, they say the SAME thing about Boulder Colorado!!! '20 square miles surrounded by reality?' Well, 17, but yeah! 🤣🤣🤣

  19.  @JohnnyLightningV10  People don't tune in to watch someone be awesome at everything all the time period they too and end because they want to watch the epic Failures that happen along the way And more to the point how he is able to overcome adversity In order to be successful

  20. How's that old saying go... ~ "If you want to get there, take a Land Rover; if you want to get back, take a Land Cruiser."

  21. Doing an engine swap in the 675 is conceivably MUCH easier than trying to rebuild the Yellow Submarine!

  22. Question: Would this be something that would be caught by The Lemon Squad? How thourough is their online research when checking out a car for a potential buyer?

  27. Eastern Block cars! Ladas are a disaster roll in the making!
    4
  28. Fun Fact = No sir, I'm afraid you're wrong on that one. It was indeed NOT Air-force 2! Not until Biden steps on board, at which point the aircraft contacts ATC & changes it's call-sign, and it then BECOMES Air-Force 2! Other than that, great story!!!

  29. Back in the day I would have said the Datsun Z series, but that was then, and nowadays yer lucky to find one intact, let alone running.
    3
  30. I wanna see them do Eastern block cars! Driving a Lada is more of an adventure than breaking down because it doesn't have enough power to get out of it's own way, the steering wheel is more of a suggestion than a actual method of control, and the world famous Lada asymmetrical braking system will leave you guessing every time you go to try to slow down and stop.

  31. I keep hearing rumors about a possible live action adaptation; HOO, HAA, HOO!!!

  32. 3 years ago he was restoring a PINK & PURPLE mini-van! I'm just sayin'

  33. Several years later, the 21st amendment to the U.S. constitution was passed, thus lifting prohibition, leaving you with a country full of gearheads with massively beefed up, garage built hot rods, and no real purpose for them anymore... 5 minutes later, NASCAR was born. (True story bro!)
    3
  34. BTW: When is Car Trek going to do Eastern block cars? (Asking for a friend....okay, it's me!) I LOVE me an old Lada because it's more of an adventure when it's running and driving than being broken down on the side of the road. The steering wheel is more of a suggestion than an actual method of guiding the vehicle, it barely has enough power to get out of it's own way, and let us not forget, the World Famous Lada Asymmetrical Braking system which is a standard feature on all their cars! Every time you press the brake pedal, each of the four wheels decides on it's own whether or not it wants to brake that time; FUN!!!

  35. Here's an idea for Cartrek; EASTERN BLOCK CARS!!! It's an epic fail in the making! ^.^

  36. ......hooooow much Coffee, Redbull & 5-hour did you guys GO through???

  44. That Santa isn't real and the Tooth Fairy was really my mom.....oh, wait, you meant about the car. I had a '67 'Shovel' that appeared to be in really nice shape until you spotted the car cancer on the frame rails that had been expertly hidden.

Also, I would like to add, that when you buy an old Lada, the WHOLE CAR is a post-purchase disappointment!!! 🤣🤣🤣

  47. Tim Burton's Bat-mobile! That being said, I've seen the vids of the replica built on top of a gen III Camero chassis with a legit turbine engine, and in reality, it'd be completely impractical.

  48. Too bad Jared is up to his eyeballs ATM with another project. I would have loved to see Road Block in that stack of ute's.

  49. The fact it was sitting in front of the only house left standing means it was definitely preordained to survive!

  53. Hurricane season IS right around the corner in Florida so I'm sure there will be plenty more salvage title super cars available in the near future! Maybe the next one will wind up on a Badet or something! (....we all live in a yellow submarine, a yellow submarine, a yellow submarine!!!🤣🤣🤣)

  55. AMG BMW ~ All Money Gone, Bury My Wallet! Buying the car is always the cheap part; keeping it road worthy is financial suicide...

  56. They'll definitely find it a good home, and will be able to add another chapter to it's story! They'll probably wind up doing an update video later.

  57. @Bennett Wilson  That is a lot harder to Say in casual conversation. Otherwise excellent story, and I would have loved to see what her face looked like before she got on that plane.🤣🤣🤣

  58. If you subscribe to 'Rainman Ray's' youtube channel, you've already seen what Hurricane Ian did to that Charger, and that was just the driver's seat BCM and harness. Now imagine that, but all over!

  59. Define 'Salvageable'. They could always shred the slag, send it through hydro centrifuge to separate the majority of the base metals and reforge them back into raw materials to make new cars!

  71.  @ryanjofre  As strange as it sounds, ElChapo's son being executed in it probably just doubled the value as a collector's item. There ARE other F-1's in the world but who else can say they're driving a car a cartel leader had been murdered in? I can only imagine it's value on the black market right now.

  84. Totally off topic, but, this is why the USCCA (United States Conceal Carry Association) is so critical. A law abiding citizen is arrested for legal possession of a registered firearm; that is some straight 'New Jack' BULLLLL$hit!!!! (yeah, I know, preaching to the choir)

  89. @antonioalbarran6040  All we really need is for it to surface in a country with... let's just say..... somewhat questionable rules regarding ownership, registration and titling, Blah blah blah... Personally I'm thinking Albania or something along those lines, But I digress. The point is, at that point it wouldn't be entirely out of the question to get it imported stateside legitimately... Or as legitimately as you can get with the El Chapo murder machine that is...

  95. "I WISH I had it on my computer but it's an app on a tablet..." Try using Linux sometime; it'll change your world view about software! Someone has already figured this out, you just need to know how to use command prompt. It literally doesn't MATTER what kind of app or software you are running; some genius somewhere has figured out how to rub in on Debian, or Ubuntu, or in Fedora orrrrr.... Yeah, not going to list all the possibilities, we'd be here until time stops... tl;dr = If you have a computing wish, Linux can & will make it happen!!!

  99. I actually knew a duder that folded the door on his car into a tree as well and I always gave him crap about it! Not to mention ALLLL the videos on Youtube of people chasing their cars!

  100. Okay, second one was totally not his fault! I've seen a few Teslacam videos like that where they park in a driveway and it slides down on a slippery hill because Teslas have that neat little design flaw where the parking brake only locks two of the wheels...

  101. Love me a Lada! Looks like an old Merc from the front, an old Volvo from the back & a rolling dumpster fire from the side!!! That being said, they may be total piles but they're practically indestructible.
