1970 Lancia Stratos HF Zero
Probably the most beautiful Concept car ever made and we worked on it?? Wait what?? 🙏🏽🙏🏽 I can’t still believe it and I feel so blessed
I'm really thankful for this amazing opportunity and trust 🙏🏽
Also thank you @PetersenMuseum for providing the space.
So what we have done:
1. wash and general cleaning
2. clean the paint with clay mitt
3. masking parts and area before paint correction
4. Multi-step paint correction (we used 5" microfiber pad + with medium and soft foam pads, 3" and 1" as well for smaller areas)
5. Clean the paint with isopropyl alcohol
6. Polish aluminum & chrome parts
7. Clean the interior and engine bay
8. 3 layers of Ceramic Coating from Kamikaze Collection (Zipang, Miyabi and Zipang)

You cleaned and shined the legend, the Wedge Grandaddy of the Countach and Diablo by the man who designed both. It's strange for us Americans to think of "design" companies like Bertone or Pininfarina. For us a Corvette is just a Corvette. Gandini made this for Bertone so they could get Lancia's attention after Fiat bought them, but they were not interested (then). Legend has it Nuccio Bertone drove it to Lancia's Turin headquarters, was refused entrance, so he drove it UNDER the barrier gate. The similarly wild Pininfarina Modulo is from the same year, the sci-fi and NASA moon landings must've been in the Italians' heads, but this one is the jewel.

[@IAMDetailing]

Thats an amazing story!!! Whoa 🤯🤯

[@nimascolari1508]

Being trusted to physically touch that piece of history shows how much respect you have in the industry.

[@IAMDetailing]

Thank you so much!

[@SpadaFer]

No one could say it better, that is respect.

[@robmarrin6720]

@@IAMDetailing that's incredible and a night at the museum I wouldn't forget,, love it,, you brought the car and museum to life ❤️👍am I correct that you were working through the night and in the day back on public view hence the re-masking?

[@IAMDetailing]

@@robmarrin6720 Thank you Rob and yes you are correct (almost) we worked almost every day from 3am till public will show up around 9:30-10am.

[@QuidproMoto]

My favorite car growing up. I can’t believe you got the chance to preserve it like this. Superb work! Bravo

[@IAMDetailing]

Yeah I can’t still believe too 😄 5years ago didn’t speak english a word, moved to different country with very little money and now this 🤯🙂🙌🏽🙏🏽 Thank you 🙏🏽

[@toddlerdurden7331]

That reminds me that my car is only 4 or 5 months away from it's anual 20 minute wash...

[@SharpblueCreative]

Casey Putsch is building a V12 version of this very car. Search King Zero build. Great video - love the quality of the detailing. The music was great too.

[@3milio0o95]

it's hard to believe that car is over 50 years old, it looks like something out of Cyberpunk 2077.

[@packlesswolf1]

Yeah cause cyberpunk used the design of the car in their game.

[@basstard13]

It was how they imagined future cars back in the late 60s

[@REDxFROG]

cars in 2077 look like boxes on wheels? I don't think so

[@ChatGBTChats]

It's a tesla cyber truck in supercar form before elon ever even thought of it

[@moonrooster7160]

Only it glitches less

[@bicyclist2]

The importance of this car cannot be overstated. This is the most important car to come out of Bertone and from Mr Marcello Ghandini. I remember seeing this car in silver in pictures in the 80's. Being able to work on this car is a high honor. It's like being allowed to polish the Hope diamond. This Stratos Zero is the most beautiful car in the world. I wish Bertone hadn't gone bankrupt. Thank you.

[@IAMDetailing]

Love reaction like this and also that you know something about the car... Thank you for your comment really appreciate it.

[@robertoautore9252]

Piece of art, a masterpiece, the most futuristic automobile ever built, way ahead of it's time, Marcello Gandini best design, of Bertone.

[@REDxFROG]

But can it drive? Engine, drivetrain, brakes, suspension matters.

[@virtualmoyda7221]

Not even

[@user-uw9bi6fu1r]

Looks wack to me. Italians should design clothes and pizza , not cars 😂😂😂

[@mg4861]

@@user-uw9bi6fu1r How much difference there's between taylors and car designers? Italians are actually more famous for car design than for clothes or... pizza(?). And even more for "normal" cars than for those concept prototypes. Who do you think has designed the VW Golf, just to say one?

[@yepok2957]

I never knew space ships had road tires. This thing was WAY ahead of it's time

[@CockatooDude]

This and the Alfa Romeo Carabo are I think the 2 coolest looking cars ever made.

[@virtualmoyda7221]

I'm struggling to se what's so futuristic. Similar prototypes have existed sins the 60s and probprobably before.

[@CockatooDude]

@@virtualmoyda7221 It's not futuristic in terms of engineering, just as a design exercise.

[@fastcargtv6]

Actually the design was made by Marcello Gandini the chief designer of Bertone that period. He's first main act was the Lamborghini Miura.

[@r0b3rt_959]

@DeadlyButSilent2 Nope, Gandini designed the Miura as well, he was just 25 when he did it.

[@l0r3nz0rm]

Desaing pure fantasy aesthetic innovation .. Luxury style with attention to detail. This has always been the strong point of the machines designed and built in Italy. Not to mention that the road version of the Stratos has also won several grand prizes in rallies. Italian pride Lucky man you had touched a pice of art and you did an amazing job

[@orthodoxgoregod2501]

This is a Countach before the Countach! One of the most iconic concept car. And it's still hits great.

[@xavierleclaire4076]

The Countach's designed by Marcello Gandini as well, you can truly see his style in these cars.

[@DeShakeel]

Genius garage is building something close to this. He took inspiration from it. That is pure art on wheels.

[@Deletedguy]

This is the ultimate concept car ever made. The mother of All actual lambos

[@athermahmood1065]

Wow what a car. Awesome experience for you and us. Thanks for sharing that bro 👍🏻

[@IAMDetailing]

Glad you like it Thank you 🙏🏽🙏🏽

[@nimascolari1508]

Great choice in colour, too. Everything about this car was perfect.

[@IAMDetailing]

We agree!

[@broskid3vn]

Oh No.. Hard to unsee those visible micro-scratches.. Overall very intriguing and futuristic piece of art.

[@REDxFROG]

A 5mil dollar worth car looks like the average car on the streets with all those swirls. Lol

[@andrewseamaster]

What an honour. I have always loved the optimism these designs had. Perhaps we need more of that these days

[@motorfab7014]

Lavoro eccellente, grande professionalità La Stratos Zero non poteva chiedere di meglio 👏

[@brunoabreu2386]

Wow, 5 short days, 10 thousand bucks. Good job dude

[@mrvuki]

I fell in love on first sight, I can't believe this was designed 50 years ago. Definitely my new all time favorite car design.

[@florianwolf9380]

Bertone’s absolute masterpiece - one of the most advanced, futuristic cars of all times, seriously.

[@francis8062]

Italian Masterpiece!

Thank you 🙂

Best looking car ever and a detail worthy of it.

[@rodferguson3515]

It's so incredible that this wild radical car is o er a half century old !!!! . The 1970 Lanica Stratos is SO LOW to the ground and is truly wild Back to the future design ;!!!!!.... It's STILL a car that is Futuristic and ahead of it's time.

[@matthewcurtis3759]

this was on display at my local museum several years back. It’s amazing.

[@bentrodboys4245]

Now that is a buff, well done! I have been in the industry for 25years and that is some amazing skills practiced by people who take pride in their work. Hats off

[@GravityPancake]

This car is detailed so cleanly the end shots look like a 3D render. 5 days we'll spent bringing the shine back to a visionary one-off that has a special place in my heart.

[@chuysaucedo7119]

[@marmo75]

I've seen It live in Italy 20 yrs ago, still have goosebumps... It's incredibly small

[@FlyingFun.]

Great car and great work. The imagination and ability to build this car 50 years ago is mind boggling. Defo lost something along the way with the rubbish boxes on wheels we have today. I'm thinking this design would be great reimagined with an electric drive train.

[@kinetickhaos6144]

This was the first time in a long time I actually watched an entire video on yt 😳 ps it was brilliant 👏👌

[@PatrolmanDark]

Thanks for taking such good care of that car we all love so much. Appreciate the video as well, it contained many views of the car I never saw. I was a child when it came out and studied the very rare photograph I had with that particular obsession of a confused 8-year-old. But the photographs left so many unanswered questions due to the unconventional design. Appreciate your work!

[@IAMDetailing]

Great to hear that 🙏🏽🙌🏽 and we very appreciate your comment

[@SpadaFer]

This cars deserves a revival and be in production, this is how the real future looks anyway. Less than this is retro.

[@casperreally]

100% sure I saw this in the Whacky Races as a kid

[@bvc100]

Lucky dude. But that result... Just wow. Love your work

[@judgedredd]

Another great paint restoration. Thanks for the longer video. Much appreciated. This car is quite phenomenal. A bit like the Vector W2/W8 which came a few years after.
