The Most Amazing Secret Car Collection In America
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
Christiansburg, VA is a town of about 20,000 people, and even if you spent all day walking around the town, I don’t think your take-away from the town would be “Hey, I bet this place has one of the largest collections of JDM cars in America and all sorts of other delightful automotive treasures.” But you’d be wrong. So very, wonderfully wrong.

I'm impressed at his car collection, but more so at his ability to afford the collection.
You can't say its the best garage ever and limit it to 6 minutes. GIVE US 20 MINUTES JALOPNIK!

Just love it love it thank you for all the cars
Excellent and interesting video.
THANK YOU for this! I didn't know this place existed. He has so many cars I'd love to buy! I just spent the last hour looking through all the listings. :)
From the first time I saw a Figaro, I KNEW I had to have one someday! Heck I would even trade my Trabant for one! HA!
These are amazing!
I purchased a imported Rav4 from Duncan, and man, they are so nice here. Walking through the warehouse was such a crazy experience
He needs to start a Figaro racing league. Couldn't you just see 20 of them running around a track?

@@manchild111 I think you should educate yourself about billionaires if you think they "earn" their money just like you and me. Jeff Bezos has made $6.1 billion in just five trading days in 2018. Where do you think that money came from? Who do you think worked to generate that money? Who do you think bears the inflation caused by the fact that we're printing billions of dollar, even worse we're generating electric money with no real value to it, meaning while one of the 1800+ billionaires is easily generating himself a couple billions out of nowhere, the money of everyone else becomes less valueable. There is no such thing as "earning" an amount of money which was created through the work of hundreds of thousands of people. It has nothing to do with intelligence, it has nothing to do with business strategy. It's a pyramid-system, nothing more and nothing less. If you fail to see that and put some academics and millionaires (who at this point have almost become the new middle class) and billionaires in the same pot then you have no idea about the economy and therefore shouldn't talk about who "earned" what.

Not specifically talking about the owner of this collection but wealth in general.
Wow just wow😀
Something really different to the normal thank you for sharing would have enjoyed a more I depth video of the cars there
Very cool I want at least one of these cars please
Why not show the rest of it!??!?
If we ever buy a Figaro, we'll have to give it a name. It's that lovable!!!
Does the owner have a web site they said everything was for sale and I am curious
holy crap he has half the population Figaros just chillin in his garage.
MIND. BLOWN
this is a real treasure, wish they would remake this model again with modern amenities but an old world charm
Soo weird I love it!
I LOVE THIS PLACE
3:33 This is the reason, NISSAN_FIGARO has become rare in Japan?

Huge collection of Figaros! Une collection unique de 140 Figaro !
i hate people who lock great cars in warehouses instead of let them be driven on the streets like they are supposed to
That is one terrific collection - holy cow! 👍
My goodness, please make a longer video
I got to Virginia tech, as much as I love hiking and the like around there, this is easily the best thing in the area bar none
I just spent nearly an hour on the Duncan Imports website looing at wild selection cars they have for sale. It's a good thing I'm broke, or I'd be on a plane to buy something.
Whats the website so i can buy one of his cars?
I love Figaro!
wow that's bananas. nice.
You could do 4 seasons worth of episodes just focusing on this collection.
So that's why I can't find a Pao left in the UK!

What’s with the Nissan Figaros and Honda Beats?
“THUNK!”…Yes…I died…so many Figaros.
Seeing cars that weren’t Intended to be preserved is awesome!!
That is so cool! Loved seeing all the Figaros and the Honda Beats! So rare!
I saw a figaro for the first time at my local Cars and Coffee and I couldn’t understand til now why it wasn’t the most common car on the planet
1964-1972 American Musclecars are hoarded all over this country. GTO's, Nova's, Cuda's, Roadrunners, Chevelle's, Challengers, Firebirds, Lemans, 442's, Buick GS, GTX, Super Bees, Camaro's.

The Nissan Figaro was marketed in Japan at Nissan Cherry Stores only, yet became insanely popular in the UK in the 2000s.

Figaro has always been my dream car. But I have never really looked into. Are they worth buying, especially in the UK and how good they are on the road🤷♀️
HOLY CRAP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
We have additional footage of the cars and warehouse
If I win the lotto. I would do the same thing Gary has done. I would live I a regular house and fill a warehouse with cars
OMG!!!!! A Figaro dream!
Thanks for doing what you do Gary. Otherwise we wouldn't be able to see such a collection. Carry on.
What are those English cars with the right hand side steering? Never seen anything like it before. GF would love one haha
That’s an amazing collection. Wow. I wanna go check it out. And why didn’t Nissan bring it here? SHM.
This video could have been so much better. Sorry guys. It doesn't cut it, as far as I'm concerned.
In what state this car show
I saw a place like this in the UK once, 2 barns of classic cars from the 40's to the late 70's. Not as big as this place, but equally as gobsmacking.
Unbelievable.Its like a factory that produces them, it's so big.Nissan Figaro is a mk1 Nissan Micra under the lovely body.Theres one in my street,( Great Britain). Amazing collection.
I was gonna go there once but it closed at 2, it was currently 1:30, and I was a half hour away. Lmao they have over 100 Figaros
Wow! Figaro heaven *swoon*
super
I was hoping they'd find a Mazda 13B Rotary Pickup next to those Ford Couriers!
I live couple of hours but have been there 3 times and spend about 4 hours walking around. Very Christian based business. No one bothers you and most cars are open to sit in. As mush as I've been there is always something I miss and see with next visit. They have a great web site and alot of cars are offered for sale.
I have a Mint Figaro in Canada, in Topaz Mist, the most popular colour.

I love figaro❤️❤️❤️
US insurance companies kept these out of America not Nissan. I owned a Pao for 10 years when i lived in Japan. Reliable and fun car with style.
I am certain that these were imported in to Australia in the early 1990's as we never had any problem with tiny cars such all the Suzuki models like the mighty boy, bluebird in the 60's and many others from mazda and honda like the civic. I think this is because they were right hand drive like our cars and the british, south african and indian cars. We were used to all the tiny cars from britain including the austin a10 and the morris 1000, plus cars such as the morris mini. Tiny japanese cars fitted right in.
Damn I'm in Virginia is this open to the public or is this his private collection?
I'm assuming he bought the best examples of cars back then detailed them and parked them I wish I could do that now
Can he fit into the Figuroa?
I live in Radford lol you are so close to me lol
If he loves the retro look of the Figaro , he would be supposed to own some Mitsuoka's as well i would think ? At least some Viewt's & Ryoga's , as wel as a 1st gen Galue perhaps ...
Is this collection larger than jay Lenos?
Oh the pacer 🛻🚗
What is the name of the business!? I want one!!!!!!
Was this about the Figs or about three dorks?
I know there's google, but not even a mention of the company Gary owns and runs? Not listed in the credits or even in the description? duncanimports.com
Wow
fricken speechless
I can only imagine the many millions it must have took to amass this absolutely huge collection. I would love to do the same thing with Porsches 914 and 928. Thank you.
The 5th wheel rolling by @3:00
I knew it was a Japanese hearse not a tiny home.😂
Wow it's just amazing. I hope there's a good fire protection. Would be so bad if this collection would be destroyed
