Dreams Realized: F40 LM, Yellow F50 & Stradman’s Cross Country Countach Journey - Episode 5
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
Preparing a Countach for a week-long 3,000-mile journey across the United States was no easy feat! Most people don't understand that this is not a Toyota Camry, but rather a 35-year-old supercar that, like most supercars of the era requires proper care and maintenance (and isn't intended to be used as a cross-country cruiser). Stradman's journey helps prove that the Countach is indeed a great car given the proper care. In addition to the Countach, we also had the privilege of receiving a Ferrari F40LM and giallo Ferrari F50 at the same time. An incredible pairing and such a surreal moment to have those two cars together in our showroom amidst the likes of the Lotec C1000 and Lamborghini Diablo GT2.
In the constant pursuit of pairing the world’s best automobiles with the world’s best collectors, CURATED Miami has specialized in Vintage Blue Chip European Automobiles since 2016 - specifically low production cars built by the likes of Lamborghini, Ferrari, Porsche, Jaguar, Mercedes-Benz, BMW, and more. CURATED continues to pave the way for the next generation of collectors chasing the “poster cars” of their youth. Co-founder John Temerian, often called the Indiana Jones of car collecting, truly understands the importance of history, details, and provenance and CURATED is dedicated to educating and supporting new custodians, empowering them to preserve and celebrate these rare icons. Known for our inventory of some of the most rare examples of Ferarris and Lamborghinis ever produced, CURATED has a passionate global following, comprised of enthusiasts, experts, influencers and celebrities.

No one is more deserving of this Countach than James. Self made from living in his Audi TT to now building his dream home and building one heck of a Lamborghini collection.

Not a fan of the “self made” term. Usually has connotation of pride. Our breath comes from God. It is true that we have free will, but no one should say they are the sole person responsible for their success. Dueteronomy 8:18 But remember the LORD your God, for it is he who gives you the ability to produce wealth, and so confirms his covenant, which he swore to your ancestors, as it is today.

When these comments going to stop? Every James video! We get it. He's now passed the "he deserves it" stage. Cmon let's move on its getting long in the tooth.
James and Sophia driving the Countach across the country was epic. That's a brave pair from a comfort stan point. Curated is an amazing business and I love your content and dedication.
The amount of passion John has for sharing the history of these exotics is second to none! The fact that he managed to find a team that shares the same passion is awesome! This channel is so underrated!
I was lucky enough to be in the area the other week and stopped by. I got to see the f50 get unloaded and have a great talk with Stephen. He was telling me about McPherson College and how to end up with a job in the exotic car market. Everyone was super chill and didn't mind us being there, thanks.

Depends also where u are located and the socio-economic back ground of that location. When u do achieve your dream, I hope u won't pass judgement on any other collectors who doesn't share it on any social media platform. To many petrolheads outside of US/Europe, its a personal thing and major security risk to them and love one when living in a small 3rd world country and region.
One of your most enjoyable videos John!

The HUMILITY & HUMBLENESS you have every time you are in a video... makes you worth your weight in gold. I see the passion when you speak of these cars, you hold them like they are your long lost child & you've waited for this day/minute/second to be back in it's life. It's refreshing to watch your growth & success.
I’ve been watching James since he was sleeping in his old Audi TT and car spotting. It’s unbelievable where he is now. Unlike a lot of other car tubers who were born to moneyed families, his story is one of hard work, perseverance and sheer determination to obtain his goal. Such a great story and he should have lots more followers who could be inspired by him.

His story is remarkable!
The F40 LM has got to be the best looking road going based Ferrari competition car ever developed. I fully agree that these things will be worth over 20 million in the not so distant future. They are extremely rare and looking absolutely stunning!
Guessing "it takes two" was a big movie in your childhood.
John you are an amazing historian of all the classics, keep it going to watch you speak and the passion you have is incredible. You’re like the classic super car whisperer.
Wow I can’t believe that I saw this video in the 9th minute of it being released. Curated tv is my fav car channel to watch thanks John

I'm going to say it right now. What he just said on the phone talking to his partner *"There are people nowadays that are paying 8,10,12 million to be different."* That WAS ME. I felt that. Being unique, Being different, is one of the best things that can happen in your life. You just have to use that as an advantage. Never a negative like the bullies back in day. Go forward. Grow. Leave the A holes in your life and BE YOURSELF. LOVE YOURSELF. you will be rewarded in life once you fix the knots inside YOURSELF be strong.
I can't believe this channel still only has 80k subscribers! You fellas should be in the millions! Excellent job with the cars and the videography and editing is cinematic excellence . Thank you for sharing these dream machines with us. I hope you gain millions of subscribers from the Stradman exposure, you deserve every one of them.
My childhood dream car! Much respect for keeping them alive!
I love the passion, the enthusiasm, and how humble John. His accomplishments in the business and how he loves to share the experiences and behind the scenes stuff is so awesome.
Love the yellow F50, Im glad that I have one in 1/12 scale :D
I'm always excited when I see a Curated upload. I always drive by when I'm in Florida. Getting a view of the cars while passing by is incredible.
I love the touch y’all made the first part to a nearly muted strad. His channel is so much different than Curated’s, sophisticated, laid-back, not forever yelling in the camera approach. Look, his channel is really popular i get it, good for him. Not my Vibe, cant watch it. Dude’s like the American Shmee constantly yelling in the camera. Keep those cars nice Strad. Keep shining CURATED
I don't know if I could watch Stradman go nutz for a series of videos, but I'm happy for him.
Late 80s to late 90s is my favourite era of supercars. I love seeing these beautiful works of art
Love it, love it, love it ❤❤❤ These cars were made to be driven, and it’s fantastic to see them being used as intended
People need to realize that not everything is a Toyota Camry. Some cars are different and need to be treated as such. Cars are only as good as the owners.

Jay Leno has always said that the Countach was always reliable and he has put a lot of miles on his personal one and as long as regular maintenance is done they hold up well. I sat in one as a teenager and did not fit very well. I was too tall and it was an odd car ergonomically but I still love the design and would still love to own one.

I can say with absolute certainly that the extreme price increase in these underappreciated Lamborghinis will trace right back to you, Jon. The passion, love, and octane going through the veins of everyone at Curated is extraordinarily obvious. I can't wait to visit the showroom soon and meet as many people as I can.
RM auctions used to have a showroom near my house in Michigan. Used to stop by all the time between my classes. Saw so many incredible cars. Porsche 962s, XJ220s, F40LM, ex-Sultan cars, Cal Spyders, Jaguar D Type, etc, etc. unfortunately the showroom closed down like 15 or so years ago. It was amazing while it lasted.
Awesome story and display of enthusiasm - thank you and please keep up this dreaming

The f50 is still my ultimate dream car. I saw one 20 years ago at New England Ferrari, it changed my view on cars forever.
At the grand age of 19 my best friend swapped his 1984 Ferrari 308 GTS plus cash for a white 1983 Countach , at the time it was the wildest car anyone had seen. We would go training together & literally it would stop traffic I remember a bus stopping in front of us with all its passengers & the bus driver getting out & looking around the car while we waited behind & all the bus passengers staring back at us. The Ferrari was beautiful but this car at 19 was unbelievable.
Such a great car. So many hours put into. And it still started breaking down after only 2,000 miles. Haha. I love Countachs but I’ve never heard anyone try to claim they’re dependable and I think it’s funny that they do in this video when we all already know it barely made it home.
To have a Miura, F50, F40LM and an EB110 in a row together is insanely epic! My brain has trouble processing just how awesome that is. I had to pause the video and just stare for a moment. Amazing!

I think you said it best, “over-enthusiastic” is really the primary reason why I don’t watch Strad. Almost seems like every video is scripted & the emotions aren’t real. But, to not acknowledge his accomplishments would be wrong on every level. Props to him for everything he’s done.
Congrats John! I love your passion and emotion when talking about these cars. Your a true enthusiast.

Most reliable countach 😊
I was hoping to get an update in the coolant leak on the countach. These things happen to cars all the time, but was impressive how it was fixed on the road and still made it home. How many modern cars would just give up and need all codes reset. Sometimes the beauty of a 10mm socket and some knowledge is all you need

Love how James drops couple hundred thousand on a car shows up in Tshirt and 5 dollar shorts.
The Giallo F50 is stunning. I would imagine that any colour other than red would command a significant premium? I've had the chance to see one in person before in Melbourne, Australia - the car had yellow headlight inserts rather than black (the owner bought a spare set & had them painted).
Been following James since getting his Gallardo. Been following curated for a while now as well. I had been looking forward to his delivery of this car. Hoping to see him back to pickup a Diablo one of these days!
