Sitting in the middle of somebody’s junkpile, this unlikely and rare New York barn find was a 1967 Lamborghini Miura S with something very special about it.
The owner had it since 1971 and ‘needed cash immediately’.
The YouTuber flew from Miami to New York to get his hands on it.
However, he didn’t realize just how original it was.

The barn find
After hearing about the potentially lucrative goldmine he immediately called the guy back and told him he was ‘very interested’ per John Temerian from Curated via VINwiki.
He was told that the owner was in a bind and, while owning the car since 1971 he needed cash ‘immediately’.
Hot on the trail of a bargain, the car enthusiast jumped on a flight to New York and pulled up to the owner’s beautiful country home that featured a huge white barn.
What was inside as the doors opened took his breath away: a 1967 Lamborghini Miura S.
In similar news, these three ultra-rare Lamborghini Miuras found in a California junkyard could fetch millions.

While already a rare model, some of its remaining ‘remarkably original’ features made it even more of a unicorn.
It was still mostly finished in its original paint and – the best part – had a Rolling Stones cassette still sitting in the cassette player.
It was almost like a time capsule on wheels.
“I was shocked,” he enthused.
“We had to buy it.”
He explains that after he purchased the car and brought it back to Miami, he was able to resell it within 30-60 days – although that didn’t sit well with some viewers.
“Can’t stand that numbers aren’t shared. This is what makes the story great,” said one.
“Bro probably lowballed the poor guy,” another commented.
Equally as lucrative, explorers found a secret three-building barn find that was hiding millions of dollars worth of cars.
