As a hot rodder the name of Dennis Varni is well known to me. But a glimpse of his collection, and seeing the 'human side' of Mr. Varni is a real treat! (oh, and those hooks on the side of the grill? They look like the ones used to suspend mail sacks when the mail is getting separated at the post office!)
Great to be able to see and hear Mr.Varni after reading Gray Baskervilles articles on him in Hot Rod magazine through the years, he has quite the sense of humour (:
Well that was just fantastic ..what a wonderful eclectic collection .. and so very much in the spirit of the Petersen with the 'hot rod' feeling many of the vehicles have, including the 454 engined Yellowstone 🚌 !!! Just had to use that emoji as it actually almost looks like the bus in question !!! (😂) I'm guessing there may be a Part Two, as I know Dennis has, or has had, some other fantastic cars, including a beautiful Miura S he bought back in 1979 featured on Petrolicious, and a sublime Graber bodied Alfa he's shown at Pebble Beach. Thanks so much for this Dennis (and your video crew), all the cars' builders and collaborators, and, as always, everyone at The Petersen Museum .. infinite 🌟 s !!! Take care everybody, and see you all at the next Petersen Monterey Car Week event .. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 ... 😃
I have been a fan of Mr Varni's cars for a while now!!! First time I've ever seen an interview with him, love the back story's, Mr Varni you have outstanding taste thank you for sharing your amazing collection!!!! A tip of the hat to you Sir🎩
Day 2 !!! Looking .. GOOD !!! I spy, with my little eye, among others, a lovely yellow 105 Series Alfa, a beautiful blue Giulietta, AND a gorgeous 70's Husqvarna, hiding behind the blue Alfa !!! See you all soon everybody !!! 😃
@@alexmartinez280 Hi Alex, Dennis has a lot more interesting cars. Many of these Petersen tours have two parts, so I'm hoping there's a part two coming up where they'll feature these other cars and hopefully his blue Giulietta too. And if there isn't a part two yet, maybe there could be .. hint, hint Dennis, and the Petersen! Interestingly too, though it doesn't say that much about it here, Dennis is (or has been) a world record holder on the salt flats .. over 300 mph! Craaaaazy! I've seen two cars go over 300 mph, side by side, at the drag strip, getting there in a shade over 1000 feet and in a little over 3.7 seconds! Another world! Here's hoping we get to see more on the blue Giulietta! 😃
What a fantastic collection and great stories. Dennis is a real artist and a great storyteller with a fantastic collection of historic cars and fun stories. I can't decide if the Fiat Multipla, the 265 mph Belly Tank, or the Ming the Merciless trailer is my favorite part. Pity we only saw bits and pieces of it thanks to poor camera work. At least we got to look around at the cool neon and memorabilia on the walls.
I love this channel being a life long Gearhead and Hot Rodder! And I don't like leaving negative comments but your camera man is absolutely horrible!!! Please, please, please find a much better camera man! It really spoils the incredible content that you have when you use a horrible camera man that doesn't have a clue how to get properly frame a shot and get good angles.
Sir I only have one question can I please have one just one and since i'm dying of cancer you will get it back in less than a year and I promise to take real good care of it ok.
Grinds my gears when gazzillionaires won't spend a few bucks to hire a competent cameraman to follow them around what is a most impressive collection, and actually show us what the host is talking about in real time without making us all seasick.
I agree about the camera and this millionaire asking for a cheaper hotel rate when those roadside businesses could use the income support. I don’t understand that.
A wonderful, eclectic collection, much like it’s host. But what happened to your usually high quality video? Please don’t send this camera operator out on any more of these.
You’re better off just listening to this and not watching it. The camera was all over the place and looking at everything and nothing at the same time.

Pretty disgusting when u think of families in africa who cant put food in their childrens mouths. Just saying.
maybe start yourself a
charity & feed/clothe those children
as an example to all
Great to be able to see and hear Mr.Varni after reading Gray Baskervilles articles on him in Hot Rod magazine through the years, he has quite the sense of humour (:
I enjoy you showing & telling about your collection Dennis. You made the video very entertaining with your unique collection and stories.
Great sense of humor, thanks!
I love this guy! He’s kind of crazy, but a lot of fun and enjoys life for what it is.
What an incredible collection of speed and his stories. What a treasure to have captured on film. God Bless.

You really need to get a better cameraman.
OMG, came here to say this. Almost unwatchable.
Yes. I love all the Petersen videos, but this one disappointed. Show the cars, I'll listen to Dennis.
JC Whitney Catalog❤️
I built some gaudy imaginary cars as a kid in the 70s, catalog and calculator in hand😎
Whoever came up with the concept & execution for this series is my hero
Love the signs!
Awesome place, love the random nature of the collection.
Very very nice speaking with you, I absolutely love your collection.
Great pleasure meeting Dennis today!
I'm glad to see this collection but good Lord that camera work was atrocious.
Thanks for taking us on the tour!

This was just a glimpse of his collections . Wish the Miura or the 300 sl was included in the video
Awesome garage! But the cameraman made me seasick..
I'll be looking for Dennis at Lupin Lodge!
What an awesome tour.....ruined by a inexperienced cameraman!

Skipping the blue Guilietta sprint Speciale was a tear jerker

Very cool cars and bikes. Also the art made from car parts, too cool. Thanks for the video, your a true hot rodder!

What a cool collection. Dennis seems like a very cool fellow.
The Alfa GTA is my standout, I wish he didn’t skip over that beautiful blue Alfa under the GTA!!! Looked like a Sprint Speciale
IKR, that GTA!!!
Great collection, kind host. Camera-person... there's room for improvement:)
Dont know much about cars, motors or race history but really like these cars film.
Beautiful cars and interesting storys
Um, camera man....... WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh man!! That guy has fun!!
I've been 70 mph as a baby in the backseat of my Dad's 1951 Hudson across the California Desert due to a recap tire blowing. We did not flip over.

My mouth open the whole time totally amazed. So thirsty now! Ha cheers! 🍻 thanks for these! Takes us away if you know what I mean...
Forget about Dick Clark...he’s the worlds oldest teenager
Talk about eclectic! Incredible
That Yellowstone bus!! Wow
This is soooo cool!
Fantastic..😎🇬🇧🇺🇸🚙
Wonderful!
I am quite impressed... cameramen should be more focused 😂
the cameraman really should not do any form of filming or video recoring at all... great collections,amazing.
awesome place..poopy camera work
Did someone call in sick and you got a drunk from the local day labor to hold the camera?
🏆 World's Worst Camera Operator
God this man is cool.

Is the camera man drunk?
yes a new camera guy for sure,show the car not dennis.

Beautiful cars , fantastic colourful memorabilia, great stories...and terrible camera work...
You better find decent cameraman...
The camera man, makes this unwatchable.
You’re better off just listening to this and not watching it. The camera was all over the place and looking at everything and nothing at the same time.
adopt me!
