A Boston YouTuber has shown off his unreal car collection that started out from $0 just three years ago.
YouTuber Captain Crankshaft has built up quite a nice collection over a short period, which includes some sports car icons and legends from Japan.
One of the cars is also what the YouTuber calls a cheap car build that he also said was a bit of a risk, but it looks to have paid off.
While this collection isn’t quite on the level of Jay Leno’s, there are still some incredible cars that the YouTuber owns.

A 1999 Porsche 911 Safari is a Car collection highlight
One of the highlights is the 1999 Porsche 911 Safari that the YouTuber is lucky to own.
This car was the first project for the YouTuber and his team.
It was also one that he called a risk.
At the time, it was the cheapest 911 in the United States.
Part of the reasoning for that was that it had done a huge amount of mileage.
Now it is a very cool, purple 911 with safari modifications to make it extra special.

Another highlight of the collection is a 1990 Toyota Supra.
However, this one ‘sucks’ according to the YouTuber, as it was given to him for free from the YouTube series CarTrek.
The car received a bit of abuse from the CarTrek series, so there are dings, dents, and scuffs all over it, and it is very slow.
A Rally Supra is a big upgrade over the 1990 model
Captain Crankshaft also has what he calls the world’s first Mark V Rally Toyota Supra.
This is a Supra decked out in colors similar to the iconic Castrol livery.
This was used on the World Rally Championship Supra of the 1990s.
On the modern body, the livery really pops.
Aside from that are bodywork modifications.
These include a new rear wing, beefier fenders, and a light bar on the hood.
Aside from the Toyotas, there are also some BMWs in the collection.
One of those is a cheap BMW F80 M3, which the YouTuber says is currently his daily driver.
This is completely stock, and it has around 120,000 miles on the clock, but still feels new and is in great condition.
These are just some of the vehicles in his car collection, and it is impressive that it was built up in just three years.
