[@Kenhung1405PC]

The history of this Carrera GT: some company tried to import 1 Carrera GT, 1 Lamborghini Murcielago LP640 2007, 2 Porsche 911 (997), 1 Toyota FJ Cruiser and 1 Mustang GT Cabriolet. When it arrived in Brazil, the federal revenue saw that the cars were "used". The Brazilian legislation only allows the importation of new cars or classic cars with more than 30 years, regardless of the mileage, but rather if there was a previous owner. They searched the history of cars, found that the dealer in the USA was only authorized to sell used cars, so technically all 6 cars are used. In addition, they found that the Carrera GT had 6 previous owners before being imported to Brazil, despite having only 206 miles. The government seized the cars in 2010, in 2012 the cars went to auction, with an initial bid of R$371,000.00 (US$93,000.00) in Lamborghini and R$185,000.00 (US$46,250.00) in the Carrera GT (this does not meaning, but ok). Before the start of the auction, the company that made the illegal importation of the cars appealed the court's decision and a new judicial battle began. It is not known how the cars are now and their legal situation. The Porsches and Lamborghini came with a white protective film. A curiosity: if I'm not mistaken, there are 4 units of the Carrera GT in Brazil. Sorry for my english :P

Here in Brazil we aready know about this CGT for a long time, and those 5 carfax reports that the car have is definely something that any petrol head would avoid. And by any circumstance the car wouldn't be sold for $3,000. The car is actualy going to auction and the initial bit is $37k.

[@ttiization]

That 3 grand was actually a scam dude. This is simply some idiotic story invented by some one that only knows Brazil by tourism cards. The car is impounded by the federal police and is a by product of a crime. It is not moving unless the government says yes. Some impounded cars by the customs turn into cop cars, but the maintenance costs can't be unreasonable. Some RAM's, Audis, Mercedes and other imported cars run here in Brazil as impounded cop cars

[@Akeem_768]

ttiization exactly, the good ole “I know someone in customs who would take x amount” it doesn’t work like that, people in the US thinks everyone outside or from third world countries are stupid & don’t know the real value of things.

[@caiolovescars3598]

Hello Ed! It’s Caio. I was one of the Brazilians that got a Gallardo Personam with you back in 2013! :) Here is the story about the cars: They were brought into Brazil illegally and seized because they were not brand new cars. They had titles before in USA. Our laws only allows brand new cars, delivery miles, MSO Title or a classic with more than 30 years old. The wrap had nothing to do with the car being seized. That is just a shipping wrap to protect the paint. The cars were seized by the Federal Police. They are stored in a port warehouse and the windows were left open all these years. So you can imagine the interior condition. Btw your contact cannot trigger a public auction. Is going to happen anyway. The bids are allowed between June 3-17th. The minimum bid on the Carrera GT is R$147.536 (around U$38,000). Far away from your U$3,000 LOL.

Back in 2009/2010, the owner tried to import the cars, but did not succeed and the cars gets a Illegal Status.. 3) The Government is trying to auction the cars for YEARS, but everytime the owner takes down the auction with a Lawyer and the cars never get sold... 4)The cars is actually not selling at Dollars, but in REAIS, our Brazilian Money, so 400k reals each is like a 90k Dollars per car (not a Big deal).. 5) The history in Brazil is The owner really bought the cars with damage and fixed the cars, then tried to import.. 6)To legaly import a car to Brazil needs to be a BRAND NEW car or +30years old production.. Wich the owner tried to bring it like brand new, but its actually "almost" brand new.. 7) The Government is in possess and the cars is locked at a warehouse, sitting still... Thats it..

Hi, Ed! I'm a Brazilian living in Miami and me and my friends were talking about this CGT TODAY. What a coincidence! That is because the IRS finally got authorization to send them to auction, that probably will happen in the next couple months. And actually, it's more easy to buy them there and ship it to US than you been told... you don't need to disassembly. IRS always provide the documentation of the cars sold and you could even register them in Brazil and send them do any country. There's a guy in Texas with a KZbin channel (Carros de Colecionadores) that moved to US recently and brought his brazilian car, and was really cheap, like $4k. This cars have a long and know history in Brazil. Let me know if you need something. I'll be more than happy to help you!

Third: If these cars go missing the media would announce to the public immediately and a couple of people involved would get arrested. Fourth: This involves federal authorities and Brazilian Customs.

The carrera gt had only 62 miles on it. The white wrap was to protect the car but unfortunally it was left outside with the window open and it flooded the carpets. Probably wouldnt be a good negociation since auctions in brazil are really burocratic and sports cars goes for way more money here than in the us

[@Salvaba]

I can imagine Ed, Rabbit, Doug and tavarish sneaking into a suspicious warehouse to try and sneak out some exotic cars

[@Michael-rp5tc]

This is by far the best story you’ve ever told.

[@blockbertus]

By the title I expected a Tavarish story. But not disappointed to see Ed instead. :)

[@TurboIntercooler92]

Thanks Ed for telling us what the third Jumanji story with The Rock, will be all about

[@BOOSTEDLCS1327]

Travarsh or tyler hoover will be fighting to get the cheapest carrera gt I the world

[@rolon-ew5kl]

Hoovie probably will make the wizard insanely rich when he gets to fix it up.

[@ethansadventuresWI]

This is my favorite car story so far. Rabbit has some great stories too, but this is gold.

[@jpb2541]

That sounds illegal

[@Tabletop-Newtype]

Its definitely in the dark gray zone. It's technically not illegal but ooooh boy the rings you have to jump through to make this deal work is astounding. Would make a great series in KZbin though

[@rcairforceone]

Pssst. Shut up....

[@mauriciomarianocarneiro]

Not really. Its pretty legal... just some how can I say... complex...

[@Tabletop-Newtype]

@@mauriciomarianocarneiro complex os right but is still an understatement. Multiple bribes in a different country just to release the car and a ton of loopholes need to be navigated to bring it here. Sounds like a plot for a heist film... In fact... "Carrera" sounds like an awesome movie title

[@yukosaturno]

@@Tabletop-Newtype no, there absolutely isn't a grey zone, it's straight up illegal and un-doable.

[@Azzurra2k]

I have to say some of the best car stories are about the cars you don't get to buy or the ones that get away

[@pcpedroariel]

I know all about the car's history. It is not a money launderer or a drug dealer as many have claimed. It was a very famous Brazilian dealer, ForestTrade at the time, that tried in a big gamble to bring these cars in to compete with another expanding dealer (Platinuss), and as was expected customs found out the cars were not able to come legally to the country as the rule of thumb is that a car has to never have been registered in another country, and the invoice needs to have been from the company to the dealer, and then directly to the new proprietor (the model year doesn't matter, what matters is the mileage and the type of transaction). The cars went from USA to Chile, and then from Chile to Brazil, and it got held up here. Customs found out the cars had been invoiced and registered in USA, and the cars got held up. The company ForestTrade went bust as consequence of the legal battles and other risky business. Yesterday for some coincidene the Supreme Court sent the cars to auction. These cars have been going back and forth from auctions since 2010, but the owner managed to hold it back. If anyone is interested I have the whole court case and all the information regarding these cars. Regarding prices, these are initial bids. I expect the value to easily reach US$200-300k at the very minimum.

[@SennTimmer]

Do you have more info?

[@pcpedroariel]

@@SennTimmer Yep. There were $1+ million bids on the Carrera GT, and $170k on the Murcielago, but once again an appeal has held up the auction. The cars will continue to rot, and we never know when they will be auctioned

[@mired914]

I was gunna do some research but now that they are being auctioned there is no way you'll get too good of a deal.

[@fransagnone]

We need this in argentina! a lot of rare and special cars abandoned all over the country, specially in Buenos Aires because its dificult to mantein their insurance co. and their spare parts.

[@MrNewcaledonia]

A guy in mexico bought an LP640 for 85,000 usd at an auction

[@ssj2larvitar]

I could not believe it when the government was talking about it, a fucking Murciélago for less than $100,000

[@ej87291]

This video really highlights Ed's arrogance and prejudices. What he was trying to do was to, effectively, steal these cars. But because it is in another country and not the US, it's ok.

[@montuam]

Who’s Brazilian watching this video? ☝🏻

[@jorgerebello8238]

From Argentina here!

master story teller ed bolian bouts another wild tale of legalities in the automotive world.

[@blathers_13]

I'm sure I've got 3k floating around somewhere...

[@Seasonstobecheerful]

You are too honest Ed , This would have made a great TV yarn..shame it ended in a boring auction.

[@doorman7316]

There had been NO title issued.. It had a MSO Manufacturers Statement of Origin..

[@bradenmckay9576]

Love the channel, you're a great storyteller Ed!

[@VINwiki]

I appreciate that!

[@MrJoebiz24]

Tremendously fun mental exercise. Damn, now I'm mentally sweating and tired...lol. Great workout Ed...thanks

[@MAtogable]

those cars were exported by a Florida USED car dealer, without state licence to sell new cars, that's how they got impounded by Brazilian customs. The asking base for the action was around $100k for the Murcy, 70 for the GT. I believe there were sold, crossed to Paraguay and then chopped for parts.

[@Rovin1996]

If they came to paraguay then they are probably just sitting around waiting to get a legit title from the authorities (bribe).
