EPA wanting an NA spec catalytic system installed, fair enough. Go to buy a used set, which is actually environmentally considerate. EPA says no, you need to waste more resources and buy new ones. Cool, love the logic.
They just RULE what ever ppl who pay their salaries . Our Way or no other way. Bs . Umm hello u only have a job because us taxpayer's. And who are you hurting .. me lol they dont care about the environment. Even though thats their only purpose.
Why sad? The owner can do what he wants with HIS vehicles...plenty of other Enzos get driven by the scruff of their necks. Anyhow, how do you know he doesnt have a second Enzo that he does thrash? Or an FXX?
Marcel Massini is the best. Great to hear the stories about deals that didn't work out perfectly. It can be an Enzo, it can be a Pista, it can an 80's Mondial, waiting for Ferrari parts is a common experience.
"This car will never see the light of day" The perfect buyer for a Curated car, someone who sees these as art or something to squirrel away forever. very sad.
Isn't it terrible. Sadly that's why these people have the mindset and money to make these purchases. Just think "mine mine mine. It's all mine and only mine."
I saw that Pope Enzo in Tampa back in 2012when Don Wallace owned it. Sitting at the dealership with the boot open showing the signature. Was the first Enzo I had ever seen in person
Last Enzo built* + all the other ones the Factory doesnt like to talk about, even when presented with a registry listing more than 399 VIN's :p Marcel and Joe are indeed an amazing source of knowledge on Fchat!
I can never understand why the USA has been so difficult to import cars into especially around safety, I have seen some incredibley un-roadworthy cars driving round in the U.S, Look at those rat-rods with sharped metal parts like our friends in Vegas produce, I seen a car in Clearwater driving round with no wind shield...!! It must be to protect domestic car production I assume..??? Here in UK with have MOT inspection every year .!!
I was fortunate enough to see an Enzo at the home of a customer of mine. The founder of Jimmy Johns. I could hardly believe what I was seeing. This was about 13 years ago. Much more fun to see one “in the wild”
Love your videos and your passion about cars. Most of all i like that u are not a sellout. No ads and stupid sponsors. U are not doing YT for money, just sheering your passion. Something we unfortunately dont see anymore in the automotive side of YT. Respect 👊👊👊
great story John! reminds me of Tom Cruise in Rain Man...when they can't get the Lamborghinis to pass EPA:) "Now it's five and a half weeks and I'm still sitting on four Lamborghinis that can't meet spot emissions standards. Now, how many times you wash out with EPA?"
you’re honestly one of the most knowledgeable guy in the game that not only knows what’s going on with the cars but knows details about each cars history. i love this channel.
I've heard stories that when someone crashes and totals an Enzo, Ferrari will sometimes take the Vin and re-assign the Vin number to another Enzo. There's some speculation among enthusiasts that Ferrari made a few more than 399 Enzo's reported. Very cool story none the less. Thank you.
You can tell when he starts talking about flying up to see the importer, who mysteriously doesn't want to see him, that he's a bullsh*t artist. The story makes no sense. John is a guy who just likes to hear himself talk and constantly embellishes these otherwise boring stories.
Great story but the line “the car will never see the light of day again” is sad. If you want future car enthusiast to exist these cars and all the great cars out there must be seen. Love the story through.
One thing that i respect about you is you dont sell out like every youtuber and give us bullshit advertising about shit we dont care about and you are a true car guru
Some may find these videos long-winded or overly wordy. I say, DOCTOR JOHN TEMERIAN. You are a master of your craft, Sir. You are bringing something very unique that no one else is doing. I appreciate the finesse and class. Super interesting stories. Keep em coming.
It's crazy that you had to do so much to get the car imported and yet if it were registered as a Florida car, you could run straight pipes and do whatever you want to emissions
As always John... another sensational story! Wonderful photos plus a bonus photo of F50 #001 lol. I don't know how you made it through that ordeal, I would have had a nervous breakdown. Stay Safe, Stay Well and my best to your Family! ❤🙏🙏🙏❤
If a car is imported to USA under show and display and then ages pass the 25 year rule can the status change? Or is it like once it’s show and display it’s always that?
Hindsight is 20-20 my friend. From the sound of it you handled a stressful purchase very well and the car went to someone who will keep it safe. I realize that shouldn’t really matter if your in the business of selling cars but if you love these cars as I think you do, it’s worth something it’s in good hands. Curious, the factory European exhaust, gauge cluster etc. Do the allow you to keep that so it can be sold and recover some of your investment or how was that handled in the end? Interesting and educating story, I enjoyed watching.
Im pretty sure you cannot apply for show and display on a car that was sold in the US. That law was made for significant cars that were never sold in the US.
I love the mystery behind these "gentlemen" collectors! I get that discretion is paramount and respect it, but it's stories like these that adds to the mystique of the "gentleman" buyer possibly being the guy in your city who has a "cool car" or two. I love it!
Why are you using a yellow key light? its very distracting. I strongly suggest using color balanced key and fill lights for portrait or interview lighting, play with color on your contrast\hair lighting or background lighting. love the channel keep making that fabulous content thanks
The dude that bought it is everything that's wrong with car culture.. Buys everything and ruins the market for young people. Not that a young guy buys an Enzo, but this trickles down the car "levels". They just keep the 'because'...
Bro I’ve literally seen this car at car shows multiple times while the new owner has had it. He drives it quite often. I guess he was being sarcastic. Even if he did hide it though, he paid for the damn thing he can do whatever he pleases lol
I know that these rare cars need to be preserved but it's a damned shame when someone buys a car and starts out by saying it'll never see the light of day again. What a shame that these amazing pieces of art and machinery are never driven and seen by people who appreciate them for what they are when they're stashed away in a warehouse somewhere.
Ferrari are notorious for making considerably more cars than they claim. There are multiple stories of owners being given a tour of the factory and they would see limited run cars on the production run cars on the production line. A year after they ‘stopped’ production
I just enjoy listening to your story’s , an the passion that just flows through you. Crazy how when your in the middle of any , when ya look back it’s like what was I worried about. Thanks for your real life feeling and worries,
I set out to replicate the Enzo down to the very last nut, bolt and washer which i believe i managed. For sure the closest i will ever come to owning a Ferrari Enzo ! I Envy you for just having the car for a short time 👍👍👍👍
meanwhile in the US itself, people are sticking wheels and driveshaft to a boat and some others are towing a roman carriage in the back of half a motorcycle and successfully christened it as a road legal car
The 399th Enzo? Or is it like other Ferrari models where they are numbered like the number of men a woman has slept with? Take what they tell you or claim and multiply by two or three?
@DeadlyButSilent2 It's been a long running joke that Ferrari claims to make a certain number of vehicles when in all actuality there are far more in existence. Like the old rule that if your wife says she's only been with 5 guys figure the actual number is 10-15. It's called the "rule of three"
Good thing you corrected “Division” to “Department”. No doubt there are at least a dozen trolls at any given moment waiting to correct you in the comments section of any and all UA-cam videos! Lol. Keep up the great videos and interesting stories!!
If you replace (or in case of the cat machine out & add new metal with laser) the number on it, some "nice tip" to the certified shop, nobody will notice... After all, all they need is "boxes checked" that's the mentality of bureaucrats.
EPA wanting an NA spec catalytic system installed, fair enough. Go to buy a used set, which is actually environmentally considerate. EPA says no, you need to waste more resources and buy new ones. Cool, love the logic.
buricratic red tape mate!!!
They just RULE what ever ppl who pay their salaries . Our Way or no other way. Bs . Umm hello u only have a job because us taxpayer's. And who are you hurting .. me lol they dont care about the environment. Even though thats their only purpose.
Yet the EPA is doing nothing to stop catalytic converter theft that is running rampant.
You don’t want the used one to be modified so I can understand why it was a new one that would fit regulation.
$$$
Imagine going through all of that and the buyer ends up being in Europe already or wants the car shipped there immediately
Spoiler alert
Or the new owner loses the car to his wife in a divorce settlement! 👍😍👍
Imagine actually getting to the end of the video with out getting bored within a few seconds
@Macavity And your life
Thats kind of sad that the dude stored it to never see the light of day.
@@adamluke1289 That why i admirer rowan atkinson. The man drove the crap out of his mclaren F1 and still sold it for a good chunk of change.
@@antmarquis87 crashed it, twice.
Why sad? The owner can do what he wants with HIS vehicles...plenty of other Enzos get driven by the scruff of their necks. Anyhow, how do you know he doesnt have a second Enzo that he does thrash? Or an FXX?
There’s like 15 super rare ones that are semi known to exist with crazy color schemes bought for a royal family but those never going to see light lol
@@user-sn5kj1gy1t and I doubt the Brunei Royal Family would take care of their cars correctly either.
Some of the highest quality car content on the highest quality supercars. I cant wait for this channel to blow up!
If you enjoy people smacking and waving their hands around like a person lost on a deserted island in the ocean.
Im having a HEART ATTACK just listening to your project story! Lol
The bs is spewing from his ears
Nah, this one is pretty boring to be honest.
Marcel Massini is the best. Great to hear the stories about deals that didn't work out perfectly. It can be an Enzo, it can be a Pista, it can an 80's Mondial, waiting for Ferrari parts is a common experience.
I'm surprised they didn't allow Enzo #399 to be brought under show and display as they allowed the Pope Enzo to be imported this way
Pope Enzo is more influential then “just a Enzo”. If something was a Pope geo metro they would bring that in under show and display
@@richardstoffel6585 It depends, both could be considered just as important.
"This car will never see the light of day"

Marcel and Joe are indeed an amazing source of knowledge on Fchat!
But, there is, out there, somewhere, in the pile of "the last built enzos" is actually the last Enzo ever built
Basically this is the last enzo built that ferrari wants to tell you about
Yes, that’s true but collectors care about what is said on the paper
That's Italians for you

@@Chad_Max I see you know of his girth. I was told he had to spend about 10k for a custom seat to fit his wide behind. No joke.
Love these videos so much

John Temerian has the driest throat in the car industry.
🤣
He also has the longest t-shirts of anyone in the car industry.
It’s driving me nuts. Every time I know the smacking sounds is about to pop. Cringe 😬

"$15k to $18k for an exhaust system - not that bad"...
BWAH HA HA!!! 🤣🤣🤣

John & Curated = amazing. I absolutely love your energy and optimism. ❤️
Great story, John. Your passion and knowledge is inspiring.
I am not even into cars but I can’t stop listening this guy. Such a good story teller.
Fantastic Channel!
Its sure to become a huge hit.
Well done.
We love Curated and John Temerian!!
Another great video. Absolutely one of the best channels on UA-cam
Love the content! Just found this channel a month ago and have watched every episode! Keep them coming!!
There is a lot to learn from this story.
Thank you for sharing John
I couldn’t stop watching him move his hands around so much, what was he talking about?
😂😂
I wait all week for one of these videos they are amazing. Keep up the incredible work 😎
Did you get to keep the euro spec parts that they removed?
once it has been ruined into America
Great story. I literally got the chills when you were explaining how excited the client felt after inspecting it.
Great story and congratulations on staying the course!!
It's crazy that you had to do so much to get the car imported and yet if it were registered as a Florida car, you could run straight pipes and do whatever you want to emissions
Good for you bro
your shoe game is fire and i love your channel bro
Loved this story! What a car! Enjoy your success you deserve 💯
The Enzo sig is a pretty neat touch to that car. Love the story John. It is neat to hear on top of the original story.
As always John... another sensational story! Wonderful photos plus a bonus photo of F50 #001 lol. I don't know how you made it through that ordeal, I would have had a nervous breakdown. Stay Safe, Stay Well and my best to your Family!

Fascinating me every time I see one of your videos!
You did it again! Awesome story. Thanks for sharing, John.
Great story! Awesome to see how it all came together. Thank you for sharing.
This channel is so underrated. Love hearing the stories as I can relate to chasing flip cars.
Fantastic story and it just shows you that persistence is the key to long term success. Well done 👍🏻👌🏻🙌🏻

Please link the Enzo pictures. The look amazing wow.
Love this story and the enthusiasm it is told in .. 👍
The best car stories narration ever!
The intrigue of your cars is as exciting as the story of the history behind these cars. Great story. LoL
Why are you using a yellow key light? its very distracting.
I strongly suggest using color balanced key and fill lights for portrait or interview lighting, play with color on your contrast\hair lighting or background lighting. love the channel keep making that fabulous content thanks

So how many where actually made cause vinwiki had mentioned that they did produce more than they claim to have
How do you sleep at night knowing that a car you've just sold won't be existing for the next 20 years for everybody but one person?
Bro I’ve literally seen this car at car shows multiple times while the new owner has had it. He drives it quite often. I guess he was being sarcastic. Even if he did hide it though, he paid for the damn thing he can do whatever he pleases lol

Did Autosport Designs do the federalization and certification?
Love the Enzo car and your last Enzo story, but wondering why the taillights had to be changed up...thanx
Yeah John! What a fantastic story! Time for a product placement sponsor for Curated TV. San Pellegrino Sparkling Water! :)

I'm shocked that Enzo couldn't apply for Show and Display,.

Awesome video. Thanks
So what if its the last one off the production line. Why does that matter? Does it make it perform better?
Did you ever think to bring yours to RM for an auction?
I just enjoy listening to your story’s , an the passion that just flows through you. Crazy how when your in the middle of any , when ya look back it’s like what was I worried about. Thanks for your real life feeling and worries,
That was your test for success and it so inspiring ❤
Imagine going through all the trouble only to find out there is actually way more then the 399 Ferrari sold everyone on.
Awesome story, bravo 👏🏻
I set out to replicate the Enzo down to the very last nut, bolt and washer which i believe i managed. For sure the closest i will ever come to owning a Ferrari Enzo !
I Envy you for just having the car for a short time 👍👍👍👍
What an incredible story. You'd think this channel had a million subscribers, it's unreal.
Always here for the amazing stories.
John has the greatest stories
Really love your stories
Isn't that the one that had at least a hundred " last ones "? ( more then 400 made)
Wow, awesome story. Told so well 👍
Love your content btw what kind of chair is that?
meanwhile in the US itself, people are sticking wheels and driveshaft to a boat and some others are towing a roman carriage in the back of half a motorcycle and successfully christened it as a road legal car
Excited to store the car away... what a great car guy...
“This car will never see the light of day”
Collector car guy
It’s funny as hell but I’m also sadden by that. 😂😂😂😔😔😔
He'll understand when it's too late that he missed the chance to enjoy the car.
More stories - epic and inspiring John
Cool story, love your passion...
John’s got a spare F40 seat and a countach wing in his office…🤦♂️😃
Bruce Canepa too on the 959
Great story John!

Hahaha. Terrific metaphor. LoL
In late 1991 I could have bought a 288GTO for $300,000 in Tokyo.
It seemed expensive at that time...
🤐😵💫
How much do you think the car you had would have been worth after the Pope auction?
If you were to tie John’s hands to his side... he would become mute 🤐
Recorded horizontally:)
Good thing you corrected “Division” to “Department”. No doubt there are at least a dozen trolls at any given moment waiting to correct you in the comments section of any and all UA-cam videos! Lol. Keep up the great videos and interesting stories!!
Great video!!!
Did David Lee buy it?
HAHAHAHA, he’s an amateur compared to the big Ferrari collectors
That's why the house always wins! Great story!
Amazing story
If you replace (or in case of the cat machine out & add new metal with laser) the number on it, some "nice tip" to the certified shop, nobody will notice...
