Before I watch. All hale the 80s. Nothing a line or two couldn't dream up.
I can attest to “a line or two” doing exactly this.
John looks like he's done all the lines since his weight loss.
This thing is a snow dive at The Mutiny and a trip to some random roadside mechanic with subsequent spending of your life savings. Then you wake up 7 days later in some cheap motel with this thing out front
The 80s were the best times to drive you could get away with a lot compared to now
*hail
The suns out! The birds are chirping! And ficarra has a new video!
Congrats on the buy! Myself and a few others were eyeballing this car and even sent a mechanic over to check it out for us IRL. Glad it made its way into good hands, Its awesome you are giving this car the respect it deserves! Looking forward to more content!
Can't *WAIT* to see where this goes! If anyone can make this dream a reality it's you John.
FANTASTIC! The only thing it is missing is another axle!
Long story short it's Ed's fault 😂😂
love it JF! 1st Panamera! I wonder if this is where Porsche got their idea! haa!
Great to see you back! winter sucks
I just watched this and love it! Can’t wait to see what happens! Thanks for letting me tag along on this crazy adventure!!!
Yay! A new video from John!
Great car with a great story...I'm looking forward to the chapters you will ad... 🙂
That’s an amazing story! Just meeting Baron and seeing his work then getting some of it along with car is like a once in a lifetime experience
Love the sculpture in the office! Was super happy that it was part of the story!!
OMG YOU ACTUALLY BOUGHT IT!? HOLYSHIT YOUR INSANE AND I LOVE IT!
Man this car is so intrigueing😂 Can't wait for the project!
Love to see you rebuild this and cannonball with Steve Aoki that would be cool
Nepo babies aren’t all that😊
I just saw the thumbnail and subscribed. This is such a legendary car !
Honestly, with the condition the car's in you could double up the axles in the rear and it would be even more on brand for you.
I got a picture of this car in my pc folder for a loooong time and just deleted it few days ago thinking the car was gone for sure and now this video pops out. I'm speechless.
time for a Coast to Coast run in Limos!
Awesome! Go Ficarra Classic, keep moving forward!
This thing sat for sale for SO LONG I really hope you got a good deal on it.
This is NOT a questionable purchase. I'd be all over this if I had more funds to do more dumb stuff with.
Edit: I hope with all my might this ends up just how it looked in the one lap pictures when you guys run it in cannonball. Or at least drive it. Awesome.
Looks like something Xhibit should be popping out of in the WestCoast Custom's parking lot
Thank you! Attending a Connecticut Boarding school in the 80's, Benihana's was the local go-to restaurant that visiting parents would take their kids and classmates, and fill the whole table/grill......We'd eat there at least 2 times a month😍 Rocky was Cool😎
I can't believe I have never seen this before! I hope it gets a 2nd life. Can't wait to see the progress
Totally have to CTC run this!
It's not in bad shape, but you can also say it's not in good shape either. 😀
I would love to see more of that art through out this series. Just as a flavor. And maybe you can then auction off some of that art for the family?
John has finally lost the plot and I love it
Well, that's kinda Kool. 😁 This will definitely be interesting. 👍
Beautiful. Can’t wait to see this gorgeous work of art fully restored.
Looking forward to seeing what becomes of this build! I feel like the possibilities are endless!
Crazy Porsche and crazy story!
Greetings from Germany!
😎👍👍👍
I cannot believe this! My father had a picture of this thing in the garage when I was a kid. Haven’t thought of this car in a long time.
Easily the most desirable Porsche ever! I don't understand the fascination, with paying way too much for a car. Which where I reside is unusable tin and pop cans. The stretch though, that is awesome. I hopeyou share the journey!
I’m only mildly disappointed that it doesn’t have 6 wheels.
Ok, you have my attention now. lol
Kool car, can’t wait to see what you make of it.
I have an old Porsche magazine somewhere where this guy turned his 90 iirc 911C4 into a 959 speedster. I say that to say this.. the speedster 959 was gorgous. If.. the top of the limo is trash, perhaps it too could become a 959 speedster limo. 😎 btw i love this crazy 959 limo idea!
So this was the special project in LA on that Saturday a while back.
15:00 oh, now./.. don't go leaving us hanging with this one!!! [cough Jag, Jag< cough]
You have peaked my interest, subbed my friend, I need to see what you do with this!
I have no clue what this thing is, but I love it
I believe he was on an episode of American Pickers. They drove the car with the prop on the back.
Make it into a 6-wheeler, and you've got your signature car.
4 wheels on one side and 2 on the other?
@@jonathanj8303 Yes. Two on the front side, and four on the back side.
@@billchavez8473 that sounds like a very conventional formula.
@@jonathanj8303 Okay
When does Cody get fitted for his chauffeurs suit?
Looking forward to seeing it come together.
You might want to number the episodes or create a playlist.
Good idea!
Cool finish building it ..
Tavarish does have a high hp twin turbo Porsche engine sitting doing nothing. Might be worth an enquiry??😅
I saw that Porsche in Germany at the IAA Frankfurt in the early 90's. :)
Sick gen 1 Panamera
Can't wait to see how this turns out!
Daaaem dude, that's awesome for you specifically. Good luck. I hope it is as good or better than the 'tas ma hall' 356 limousine. If there's anyone who could do it right... you are one of the few. When it's done I'd fly there just to go out to strip clubs in it.
I would suggest a turbo V8 from a 955 or 957.
Also, when are you going to supercharge one of your 928's?
Seriously, good luck!
Pretty sure I’ve been here for a New Year’s party! Flew down from Sacramento to LA for this party. Home is crazy! Spent most the evening speaking to little teacup (voice actor) from beauty and the beast Cool guy! Small world, pretty sure my neighbor knows you. He lives in East Sacramento off 44th st
Is that the founder of Benihanas? Great video.
Yes, he raced offshore boats too.
I've eaten at the original benihana on the 71st street causeway in Miami. It's now a shrine to Rocky Aoki.
Awesome I would have bought it it's unique
Sounds like a first episode of a TV series
So cool! I'd put it back to One Lap livery and drive the bejebus out of it. 😉
You have to do Rothman’s livery! ❤
I can’t wait to see what this becomes.
Can't wait to see how it turns out
Great purchase! But a merch store without "This Can Be Red" t-shirt??? Seriously???
I love it ! the Gotti wheels too !!
ok now you have my interest. subbed.
A window between the doors would probably work well and make it look more of a natural limo.. maybe?
Engine? What engine? One of the Porsche V8 You store in Your driveway, of course!
Is that a Porsche limo? How freaking cool
It's no longer than a Lincoln Town Car from the era.
I saw this pop up a while ago on Marketplace. I was thinking it was the perfect car for a youtuber to restore.
Same as ever John, a total failure.....to disappoint. Of course you're going to do this. It's going to be the coolest, funniest and most unique thing ever....until your next bright idea. Big love and respect from over the pond. Can't wait for the next one, although as we all know it'll only come through being patient!
Amazing!🇧🇲
Please make restoration videos on it!
It needs / deserves some form of beastly horsepower ;-)
Interesting. One thing is for sure, those who did this did not care about looks.
Damn!!!! I would have bought it too!!!!
Definitely had to subscribe after that story.
Suddenly, a Panamera seems sleek and logical...
Ed might be right. This IS a bit 'o you....
Perfect followup to the Six Wheel Range Rover.
Cool Project 👌🏻🏁🇩🇰🇺🇸
Very cool… I hope you make it really nice
Pioneer, created the Panamera concept car.
Im not gonna lie thats ugh .... Interesting
That's awesome!!!
It's gonna be soooooo cool!
Benihana. I remember Roki Aoki.
The O.G Panamera lol.
Though i was going to see the car, not storytime from that one uncle no one wants to be left alone with at christmas
Also he's just casually Devon and Steve Aoki's dad
its loco and i love it
John…. I’d be disappointed in you except if I’d have been able to, I’d have done the exact same thing.
A Taycan power train would be an interesting conversion.
John... It's been a long time, We Haven't heard from you for awhile...
We know it's been raining heavily where you are...we know you might have been effected and after today's announcement of your latest aquasition....I must say...We are all a little worried.
WHAT HAVE YOU DONE BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN?
That something different nice to take to cars and coffee🤔🤔🤔😎😎
wow! man we gotta get you a real hobby. as usual you go on with your badself!!! love it. thank you for the great content? seriously , this and most all your vids are fantastic!!! always look foward to what ever the hell it is you are into... except the whole trailer hitch thing...
just stick an LS motor in the back like Tyler did with his apollo 911
if you upload more consistently, I'll subscribe
04:00 LOL
Pardon me!
It's a two-fer!!!!
Love it
