Spending $25,000 on a mystery container from a cargo auction is a bit of a gamble – but the customized car discovered inside made it all worth it.

When this content creator unpacked it he found something he wasn’t expecting.

He was hoping to find a Lamborghini.

However, he found something that’s arguably even more exciting.

The mystery car

Content creator, SLAV’s ADVENTURES, shares videos of his adventures around water and cars.

“We decided to buy a container at an auction to unpack it,” he shared.

“We think that there is a car in this sea container, but which one?

“Let’s open this container and find out what’s inside.”

When he first opened the $25,000 cargo container, he hoped to find a luxury car – possibly a Lamborghini.

Inside, they find a customized car: a lime green Ford Mustang.

In a similar discovery, some fishermen found a container floating in the sea and opened it up to find the most unbelievable cargo.

Despite some damage including worn tires, the car appears to be mostly intact.

Plus, custom features including black stripes and other modifications make it an even more exciting driving experience.

However, the content creator does stress that despite saving some money on his new car being an unknown entity, the high-octane fuel that it requires is quickly eating away at that saving.

Despite it being unreliable compared to a regular car, he argues that the way he feels about this car makes it all worthwhile.

After gaining her BA Hons in French and English at the University of Nottingham, Amelia embarked on a vocational diploma from the National Council for the Training of Journalists (NCTJ). This led to numerous opportunities, from interning at Vogue to being on the small team that launched Women’s Health magazine in the UK, which was named the PPA Consumer magazine of the year for three years running. As Health, Beauty and Fitness editor, Amelia personally received a Johnson & Johnson Award and was shortlisted for both PPA and BSME titles. Since then, Amelia has created content for numerous titles and brands, including the Telegraph, 111 Skin, Waitrose, Red magazine, Stylist, and Elle, as well as being Head of Content at Vitality and Editor in Chief at INLondon magazine. “My superpower is translating technical jargon about the mechanical workings of a supercar into a relatable story you’ll want to share with your friends after you’ve read it.” After joining the SB Media family as a senior journalist in September of 2023, Amelia’s role has evolved to see her heading up the SEO output of the editorial team. From researching the most ‘Google-able’ key terms to producing evergreen content - it’s been a time of hard work, growth, and success for the editorial team and the Supercar Blondie website. “I like to think of myself as a ‘method journalist’. In other words: I live and breathe whatever I am writing about. When writing about fitness, I trained as a personal trainer, and as a beauty editor, I completed an ‘expert’ in scent diploma with the Fragrance Foundation. “During my tenure at Supercar Blondie, however, I did something I never thought possible: I passed my driving test at the age of 36. One day I’d love to train as a mechanic to better understand what happens under the hood, too. “My sweet spot is providing readers with a ‘takeaway’ (read: something new they didn’t know before) after reading every one of my stories. While I don’t claim to be an expert in the automotive world, I know the experts and bodies in the field to rely on to provide our readers with an informative and thought-provoking story every time they visit the site.”
