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.

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.”
