The thought of you and Sam Hard with a briefcase with $1.9m showing up to buy the Chapó F1 is a movie I’d watch
Going to need 40 million for an f1
@@baconchannel307not for that one
@@baconchannel307that’s an over exaggeration lmao😂, not even close to 40
@@baconchannel307 did u even watch the video b4 hitting the comments ?🙃
Absolutely, Sam is amazing
The real 039 are the friends we made along the way
Amen to that
lmao
HAHAHA
❤from San Antonio tx
Family 😂
My theory is that Ed already has the F1 but is still trying to figure out how to legitimise it so he is making these videos to keep the feds off his trail
Facts!
💯 all he had to do was contact someone in the cartel and bought that mf directly from them
That F1 is still in sinaloa
@@Roke-of1rfstill in Sinaloa Mex and it’s not for sale … it has its own room temperature controlled room with glass walls .. basically has its own house ,, the whole living room was designed for the car … and the family said is it strictly not for sale to anyone ..
Still hunting the elusive El Chapo F1... Hope you finally land the prize one day Ed!
💯. People with ed!
@justinoliver1984 you sound like the guy who has it sitting in his garage but just enjoys watching Ed on the hunt for the golden goose 😂
@@chrisbartolucci1736 🤣🤣 I wish it was sitting in the garage! Not to say I wouldn't get a slight kick outta that though! All in good fun of course
Not chapos mclaren
🤐
Babe, wake up! New El Chapo F1 update just dropped!
The wild goose chase continues!
ohh yesss
any news on Kimi?
@@alexhood7091 He did an AMA recently; Kimi is still unavailable due to a previous commitment to the State of Georgia, but is interested in telling her story
Man, i want to text ed bolian like hes my friend. I know where 39s at. I know where that fancy watch is. Lol jk.
I really hope you find this car. You deserve it, I would be willing to drive down the GA to see it.
Next video "They were asking $1.9 million but through some shrewd negotiation I bought it for $400k" lol
"They were asking 1.9m. I offered them 400k."
*shrewd negotiation*
"We met smack dab in the middle at 400k."
I was gonna buy it for 1.9 million but then I found the best price on carwow of 400k
You need to talk to a UA-camr named Ocran Leaks. He posts cartel related content and knows alot of people within those circles. He would probably be your best bet for info on the F1 since he probably saw it himself.

I seen the El Chopo McLaren, being driven by Elvis Presley, at the Irish convention for Leprechauns, held in Djibouti 🤷♂️
I knew it.

Conspiracy theory warning: what if ed did buy the f1 from someone that said they saw it and its really sitting hidden in a storage unit half a mile from his house, maybe he goes over everyday to stare at it
This has to be one of the best running stories not only on VinWiki, but the car community as a whole.
Ed's (potential) F1 and Freddie's P1 are the two I follow religiously.
I know right. Ed's a great story teller. We watch til the end knowing there's no car.
With cameras literally EVERYWHERE, I wouldn’t believe a single word about the whereabouts of this car without VALID photos to backup ANY claim.
Do you mean like... cameras in the streets? Do countries in Latin America have cameras on every corner?
@@paulcarmi8130 man, so many ways to ask that and you choose that version. Yes, most big cities (500k+) are heavily watched.
However, getting access to that info is almost impossible without influence or a judicial order.
@@paulcarmi8130 more like individual people having phones
@@paulcarmi8130 That, and everyone carries a phone with a camera now. If a McLaren F1 was spotted, particularly in a third world country, everyone would be taking and posting pictures.
Yeah. It’s amazing Ed even puts any time into anyone that doesn’t haven’t legit recently taken photos. Even pics from a decade old iPhone would be enough to validate things before believing a word.
If anyone can get a bargain McLaren F1 it'll be Ed. Smack dab in the middle.
He's NEVER going to get it, RELAX!
@@ParissaKhourysuch a hater
@@ParissaKhoury We get it, you're a Karen who hates fun.
Ed's ongoing quest for the El Chapo McLaren F1 is starting to sound like the shows and movies about searching for the Holy Grail, Ark of the Covenant, etc. Good Luck Indiana Bolian!!!😂😂😂
Thank you!
It belongs in a museum.
I've seen those movies about the grail, too. Beware of French knights in English castles.
Boliana Jones
Great story and beautifully told as always. A few years back a friend of mine in Toronto found an odd listing in Japan for one of the original Tag Heuer F1 watches. He ended up buying it for a little over $1000 and was able to re-connect it with the owner of the car. Both he and the owner acted like gentlemen so while he netted a tidy profit the owner did not pay the moon either and with the money he was able to pay off his student debt. Lovely guy and it could not have happened to a nicer person.
Amazing
Will we see El Chapo F1 in hands of Ed before GTA6?
Nvm, watched the video... disappointed by clickbait
It would be a great storyline/series of missions in gta6
Chassis 039 is still in Mexico. The vehicle is still in the possession of the Sinaloa cartel (likely with El Mayo). You’re looking in the wrong places.
thats the only person i can think of that could have that mclaren probably has it stashed 💯💯
@@oscarfregoso3126 I guarantee it’s still with them. They’re quiet individuals (Especially El Mayo) so we wouldn’t even know if they had it.
He needs to find someone with ties to that family.
@ndre2768 The US spends millions of dollars trying to track him down and you want him to try to find him 😂
@@SavageBunny1 The US is involved in the game with them. It’s been said Mayo works and pays the US to get his merch in.
Out of all the theories, this one sounds the most plausible to me.
Wouldn’t believe a word of what anyone says unless they present you with photographic evidence. These people are just having you on.
I suspect Ed knows that. I suspect he also knows that these stories make fantastic content.
@@n.j.crawler That's a very long winded way of saying the same thing as me 😀
@@ruk2023-- yes he’s a great story teller. But only so many times can you spin out a story with nothing of substance to back it up, and keep people interested.
@@andrewhurstcars You'd be surprised about that. Just because you lose interest doesn't mean someone else won't come along.
@@ruk2023-- this was entertaining, my point was that there are only a limited amount of times you can produce the same story without an outcome.
The F1 is still in Sinaloa it was moved into a house where a wall was teared down and rebuilt so that it could not be stolen the car is actually in excellent condition the son of Beto is the owner and he will never sell the car as it has a priceless sentimental value to him anytime buyers try to contact to buy he says the keys and car are lost and has no idea where they are.
That’s the most believable thing, that in Mexico, can occur. Probably it’s the truth.
McLaren F1 chassis 039 is the Oak Island of supercars.
I have a feeling the car is either owned by some cartel or simply was crashed and destroyed in the late 90’s before they became super crazed even if it was crashed
Crashed Ed says yes it's a discount
Obviously still in criminal hands
In reality the car is still owned by "el roba chivas" family to be exact by his son there is this you tuber guy from Sinaloa who makes videos talking about members from the Cartel de Sinaloa and he just made one talking about the Story of el roba chivas an the Mclaren he explains that the car is still owed by his son he keeps it inside his living room and that the car is well taken care of he has absolutely no intention on selling the car
Frank Williams to be the owner of a Mclaren F1 rejected by Ron Dennis would be made public the very same day, they did not get along very well to be polite.
They did at one point - IIRC Ron Dennis helped pay for a lot of the medical care and equipment Sir Frank needed after his accident (while also trying to convince Honda to leave Williams and switch to McLaren, mind you).
Why would Frank williams spend millions on supercars when he's been in a wheelchair since the 90s 🤔
@@dancollier9837 Same reason as a fair amount of collectors. Just for the sake of owning them and increasing your collection.
Williams stuff to any long time F1 fan who knows the Williams families financial issues just sounded like pure bs right away lol. They struggled for long time & only sold off stakes in the team in 2010 to likes of Toto Wolff simply to pay off personal mortgages. Also never had any links to the Isle of Man, alongside Frank being in a wheelchair for decades & never having a known interest in classic or collections beyond their old F1 cars.
@@SDrtheone Frank Williams had more important things on his mind like attempting to stay alive & battle the pain from his injuries than build an exotic road car collection on an island in the Irish Sea some 250 miles away from his home...
The fact Ed actually rang Frank's daughter believing this preposterous fantasy is toe-curlingly cringe worthy... The desperation & stupidity of some YouTubing folks seeking a holy grail....smdh 🙄
The big question here is when the car is finally recovered, who will play Ed in the Netflix movie about it?
The Isle of Man is being used to hide many things of value, so hiding an F1 there would not be that odd.
True but the Williams stuff any long time F1 fan who knows the Williams families financial issues just sounded like pure bs right away lol. Also never had any links to the Isle of Man, alongside Frank being in a wheelchair for decades & never having a known interest in classic or collections beyond their old F1 cars.
Hey Ed, I lived on the Isle of Man for 10 years. Its a small community there and i have a lot of contacts still in the automotive scene, especially high end exotic tuning, maintenance, sales etc. There's a lot of dubious dealings over there due to its former status as somewhat of a tax haven, lots of Russian and Hong Kong money hidden there. So there is a chance the El Chapo F1 could be there... however, I asked on my social media and no one i know has seen or heard this rumour on the rock, and no one has heard of any connections to Frank Williams, or William MS and car collections there. Nigel Mansell used to live there but that was a good time ago now.
As soon as he said IOM I was doubtful, I just can’t see how you’d even get it on the island without everyone knowing, and store it there without anyone finding out.. there maybe dodgy money there but not assets it’s just not plausible
The fact that Frank Williams already owned a collection spanning 30 years of his own team's race & world championship-winning Formula One cars that have far greater history, value & importance than a single dodgy Mclaren F1 is clearly lost on gullible Ed....
A podcast called Ocran leaks just put out a 2 part video claiming he knows where the car is at. Still waiting on the second part. First parts is about the owner
You know I gota say I am impressed with Ed's Spanish pronunciation.
First Vin story i ever saw was the El Choppo F1 and these are always the best. Hopefully you’re able to get it Ed, Best of Luck always!
Be like "oh, it's just a modded Noble"
Bring it home, Ed!!!
Ed's first call when he was ready to do some sketchy shit in the UK was Sam Hard..😂👍
So, no new news, got it. You are a great storyteller, I'll give you that. I hope you actually find your F1 someday.
When I see these videos pop up, I pretty much know there's gonna be no new news, but they're always entertaining anyway. Like he said though, one day!
Shrewd cartel stalking!
The isle of man is the home of many a famous person. Its a tax haven in the uk and its full of big houses where famous people move to when they retire. I know of many big places with huge garages and car collections. Would be easy to hide something there. Added the next to no crime and fact people wont go trespassing to search places, it could be hidden for years without being seen.
Its not in the UK. Never has been
I live on the Isle of Man - born and raised here and I've followed Eds hunt for the infamous F1 for years now. My heart dropped when I heard him say someone had seen it here hahaha. I thought the same thing though - Its the perfect place for it to be hidden and no one would ever find it. Once the guy said the police had turned up at the port etc. and arrested them, I knew it wasn't true as that would have made local news. Crazy to think though, it could be anywhere...
@@xXExtremeTABXx absolutely. Im from laxey myself, as soon as i heard authorities were involved i knew it had to be false. Police dont have enough braincells to rub together between the lot of them to pull of an operation like that lol
I believe the blue Ford GT Jeremy Clarkson way back was registered on the Isle of Man
It was. @@ShanesAutos
Im a mechanic at Williams, I was about to say I can ask some questions before you said you’d made contact already. Hope you do find this one day!
To say I’ve been waiting for an update on the story would be the biggest understatement maybe ever
FYI the Isle of Man is not in the UK. It is in the British Isles but is it's own dependency.
Glad im not the only one to point it out. Even recently the term “dependency” is under review as it really doesn’t describe us well at all.
Ed is the only UA-camr who does 1 take and includes his sponsors seamlessly into his video. Legend
I'm sitting here watching thinking. How did we get talking about watches? Oh wait dot dot dot that's when it hit me😅
Ed, love this El Chapo F1 story! Just keeps getting more mysterious.. I think the F1 is probably still in Mexico, hidden some were and forgotten.. Im sure it will pop up one day and hopefully at some point, it will be on its way to Atlanta! :) Saludos from Orlando!
I really want to see Ed Rocking an F1 with a Georgia License Plate that says "El Chapo".
Eds hunt for the El Chapo F1 is like my hunt for the Herbie left at the bottom of the ocean in Puerta Vallarta...
3:55 = and in fact ,you can see the "CPJ" bit,poking out on ed's left (our right)
Ed is one of the finest orators of our time; no ums, erms, long pauses, or word drops, in any of his content
Nothing would please me more than an El Chapo F1 update from Ed's Garage
SOMEONE has to know where this McLaren is at. Tell Ed already!!
Ed. I expect you are aware, but you can apply to become the legal registered keeper of a car in the UK. This does not prove you own it, but does allow you to TAX it and thus make it road legal. Basically the DVLA will send a letter to the currently registered keeper and if they do not object you will become the new keeper. What I am saying is it should be possible to make that car legal in the UK (once it also passes an MOT test for roadworthyness), which should make it possible to export to the US under the show and display rules. If that didn't work you'd need to find the current registered keeper, which anyone in the police force could do or the DVLA will tell you if you have a good reason. While I'd be happy to help with any of this if it did come to it I'm sure Shmee would also help. Video here describjng how Taylor from AutoAlex used this process to put an abandoned BMW back on the road. ua-cam.com/video/ULTHfZCgTb0/v-deo.htmlsi=ZasUuciokBq8KTec
Definitely an option now that the Vermont title loophole has flown the coop....
The Isle of Man isn't part of the UK though, so this may or may not apply.
Alice in Wonderland was written in 1865. It is still read today and movies are being made about it. Ed Bolian in 039 is equally fanciful and full of wonder. We all look forward to the next chapter.
A colab that no one expected.
Love Brian and I love what he’s doing with Menta Watches.
He is as knowledgeable and passionate about Vintage Watches as we are cars.
He swindled you into giving him your signature with the “letter of intent” so he can steal your identity down the road
It wasn’t the signature I use for legal documents. It was my autograph signature. Good point though.
@@EdBolian Ok, I never thought about using different signatures for different purposes before. I am both impressed and surprised it never crossed my mind before.
@@Melanie16040
Everyone does it. Signature for bank.
Signature for work and other stuff.
Signature for random questionnaires 😆 🤣
@@Melanie16040 you are dealing with a master bullshitter. He probably didn’t think of that and is trying to save face.
“You can’t bullshit a bullshitter.”
I am based in the Isle of Man and own a tyre business here. If there is any way I can help, just late me know.
How many F1's have been totaled? Is their a chance that in the late 90's Mclaren bought the car back and used it to rebuild or even "vin swap" #39 to a car that was totaled out? Would that have been cheaper then building a whole new chassis?
This seems like the most likely thing that happened to it, I think it would come under "brand protection" on the balance sheet.
@@michaelbrooks8332 Yeah I was leaning towards that. They sold the car and then they find out its tied to a hitman in a drug cartel. When they asked for keys they could of offered to ship the car to make the right keys or whatever and then refused to send it back and just paid them market value for it. Or they just kept it since the current "owners" didnt have keys or paperwork proving ownership.
Going with that theory if that isnt the case then whoever does have it might also be on the hook for grand theft auto of a 20 million dollar car.......so if thats true then it will never see the light of day
Allot of them been crashed but totaled and disaperd i think just 3
first one in namibia desert by the mclaren team
Second one a guy and 2 passanger this is the only fatal accident of an f1 btw
Third a red one in a rainy day in a brunei highway the car was then used for parts
They are too expensive to be totalled. Famously in 2015 Rowan Atkinson (Mr Bean) crashed his F1 on a road about 5 miles from where I live. The repair bill was £910,000 (about $1.15m) or about $1.5m today. It remains the most expensive auto insurance repair claim in the UK. They did not write it off as that would be over $10m.
@@nixer65 Totaling a car is sort of just paperwork. A vin is nothing more then a number plate. If one is crashed bad enough and needs enough parts it would technically be totaled, as most likely nothing on the car can be used again. So in that case, they are just vin swapping. One monocoque is scrapped, another one made and then its built off of that. They don't cost 10m to make.
I wonder if anyone called adx max to talk to el chapo himself about the car might be another 10 years or so before we see the car due to its rarity
As soon as you said that the car ..a McLaren F1 ...belonged to the late Sir Frank Williams I knew it was bull. Every Formula 1 enthusiast know what I mean.
Definitely one of the most interesting stories ever on this channel and I hope we see a conclusion anytime in the future. Keep digging Ed!
Just when you thought it was over. This series better end with Ed owning an f1.
I love that every lead you can stumble upon, you investigate. Even if there is nothing concrete, at least it creates great content!
I hope Ed gets the car someday, he is the right person to own it. The joy that would give us all would be immense.
I love the updates on the special ones thanks ed!
A friend of the owner of that McLaren said that this car has never moved from Culiacán nor will it move from there, it is sheltered inside a house, literally inside the house they had to knock down a wall to put it in the living room and there it is with AC air so that air always circulates and the car is washed weekly, They turn it on once a month and no, it's not for sale, even if they offer the 20 million they will tell them what is not for sale, why it is an object of sentimental value, and the answer will be no,It will never be for sale even if they offer 40 million, they will say a resounding no, but they should know that this F1 has never moved from Culiacán or is still as good as new because of the care they give it. And the keys, most importantly, they never lost them even though they still have the original keys and all that theater that according to what they lost are just false rumors, all information comes from a UA-cam channel called OkranLeaks who supposedly is the Mini licenciado If that is true, then the information it says is totally true.
You should check out Ocran Leaks. He made 2 episodes talking about the infamous McLaren. He said it's still in Culiacan, Sinaloa still in pristine conditions. However, sadly, he said the car will never be sold. It's an art piece sitting in a living room being enjoyed by the previous owners' sons.
I've been to the Williams property on the Bridal Path in Toronto Canada, the most impressive private car collection I've ever seen in that garage. Sadly, no F1 though.
Ever since your first story on this car ive been hooked, and just searched for any updates and you got a new video from 2 days ago!! Perfect timing!
I really hope this whole fiasco has a definitive conclusion, with that conclusion being that Ed does finally manage to buy this unicorn or at least see it in person. I feel like we all just have to know if it even still exists at this point 😂
These are too valuable to vanish: I’d bet my balls McLaren know exactly where this car is.
My bet is it’s now with a new owner. In a new colour. And probably in the U.S. And McLaren would know.
No one told you? The car has been in the US for a while..
Tim from DDE has it, the previous owner installed aftermarket parts and painted it bronze.
🤣💀
You gotta save her 🙏
Man I’ve been waiting for an update on this for so long, never thought I’d see it but here we are😅
this Mclaren F1 is like a movie for me,...
man that segway to the Menta Watch ad was smooooothhhhh
So this new type of colouring was becoming really popular in 2017 I think we starting really seeing a lot of cars. These pastel colours. I think we'll soon come back to candy colours as there was a brief time in the early 2010s where a few cars had it. Gloss remains a very base colour.
Also an avid F1 enthusiast; finally convinced myself that since I'll never be able to afford one, I'll have to make one (which I'm currently doing). F1 LM is by far my dream car; while everyone had lambo posters, I had the F1 on my wall. I sincerely appreciate you trying to track down #003.
The funniest part of this story is thinking you'll get an even ragged out one for only $1.5MM. :)
I'm confident there will come a day where the true wearabouts of this car will be found.
Wow look who hit 2MM subs on YT! Congrats Ed. Great channel. Love the content & delivery.
It's in New Zealand.
I'm glad you tube didn't forget to notify me about this . The search continues
Whoever has the F1 should know the only question is how big the number is before the six 0s.
I have a feeling its either been sold discretly or parted out.... cartel members live short lives and the idea that its been in storage for decades seems unlikely. Considering they cant drive it, youd assume they would rather get rid of it for however much they could get.
These videos on the lost El Chapo McLaren F1 every few months keep me going.
So….in other words, in a reference book somewhere there is an entry telling all of us plebes in the future that “Robachivas’ F1” is synonymous with “Eleanor”?? 😳🤣🤣
Cheers Ed, never give up on the chase!
🖖😎👍
It’s still in Sinaloa, el robachivos son has it in his living room, and he’s not interested in selling it
That was the smoothest transition into a sponsored advert I've ever seen on youtube
Dude have you just made this up 😂😂
I don't know man... his smurk at the end was all too confident. I wouldn't be surprised that this story is a lot further along the way than we think and that he already acquired it. I really hope so.
This is one of the VinWiki missing car stories that caught my attention the most when it was first told. Can't imagine the thrill the person who finds it is going to have!
You know, it’s gonna be a good story when VINwiki couldn’t even pick a cheeky line straight through the intro and into the story
Best transition to a sponsor ever.
What a rollercoaster
I'm excited to hear where it has gone
Humberto’s children will never give that car up or expose themselves, not even in exchange for their father’s killer. They disappeared and did not continue in the drug trade. Maybe when they die there son might expose it.
Im surprised this car isn't in Ed's collection yet
1 day you will find it can't wait
On the other hand, if you possessed that car, would you really want to admit to having possession of it over the phone or in text or email especially to someone you don’t know I would think just admitting that you own it or have possession of it could cause a lot of problems should certain people find out
Love hearing the updates on this one. It would be an amazing story to hear what happened to the car if it ever shows up.
The knowledge that someone right now is sitting in the El Chappo F1 watching this video on his phone.
You’re gonna get this car
Did he send pictures? They have cameras on phones now, should be very easy to verify it that way. There shouldn’t be a mystery.
I really hope I get to see the day it is found. It would be awesome
At least the F1 is giving us stories. I would be stoked if Ed actually found it. I’m invested
There was a song being written by a famous group from Sinaloa but they took the song down because the family told them too I’m pretty sure it’s still in Mexico
Cat fishing with ED……on todays episode….
I have it , it's here in Mexico in my garage. I take it to cars and tacos every Saturday.
