ABANDONED Maserati Biturbo: First Wash in 30 Years | Car Detailing Restoration

Behind this garage door is the first bi-turbo car ever made. And it was buried in here 30 years ago with only 27,000 original miles on it. And while pulling it out of the garage, we made a crazy bet that you have to see to believe. Are you kidding me? You gotta be kidding me. Oh, dude. And then at the end of the video, we got to bring in a brand new 2024 Maserati that also has a bi-turbo and compare the two cars, which is one of the coolest things we've ever done. But to get to that point, we first had to go to where the car was sitting. Wow. Dude, look at that. Well, it's way worse than the pictures you sent us. So it's a Maserati bi-turbo, right? Bi-turbo, 84, 27,000 miles. I heard it was the first time they'd put a bi-turbo in a production car. Right. But I heard it was also horrifically unreliable. I mean, if you're the first in anything, this is what happens. That's why Mike is wrong when it comes to Tesla. He thinks Tesla's junk. And I'm like, they were the first to bring it to market. They were not. On that scale? On that scale, sure, but this is the first production car. That's not the same thing. Completely wrong. Not the same thing. Dude, they had electric cars in the early 1900s. The first Prius was like a 98 and it was a hybrid. I know it's not full electric, but that thing got up to miles to the gallon. At the turn of the 20th century, there was a race between what three ways that cars could be powered. One was by steam, the other one was electric, and one was petrol. And obviously, petrol won out. But electric cars have been around for a long, long time. Yeah, yeah, yeah, 100%. But Elon and Tesla, well, Tesla and then later Elon. Yeah, they definitely blew it up the biggest. I per se, yeah, I would agree with that. So in the comments, let me know who just won that exchange. Me or Mike. I mean, for me, just coming to the back of this car, I've never been in one of these, seen one of these in person. I absolutely love the badging on the rear, the bi-turbo on the block square, that all 80s style. It's a cool looking car. Also, I know for a fact, because we've been in them before, it has Maserati badging everywhere. Like once you see the inside, there's a Maserati clock, there's a Maserati carpet, there's a Maserati door card or a kick plate or something. There's so many Maserati emblems and badges all over this car. They really, really wanted you to know that it's a Maserati. This car actually has a lot of sentimental value. It belonged to a gentleman who unfortunately recently just passed away. And that gentleman was friend of the channel, Joe's uncle. And so he called us and said that the Maserati had been in the garage for- 30 years. And he wanted to get it pulled out. He wanted to have us clean it and do right by his uncle and honor his life by cleaning this thing up. And then I believe you guys are going to be getting this thing back up and running and take it to Florida and drive it around down there. Right. We're going to ship it down to Florida. We have somebody that's going to be able to put a new timing belt on it and hopefully get the engine started so we don't have to worry about doing that here. You guys just do such a good job. It's the best way we can honor my uncle is having you guys detail the car. Sorry, buddy. Sorry, buddy, but I got it. You should keep that and be like, at this point, Joe decided to kill a bee. All the cameras are going to see is Joe going from honor my uncle. I want to see the moment Joe's face changed from like, from like empathy and fear. It was like natural reaction because right, I'm like, I got to get him for him. It went from emotional to death. But yeah, your uncle was obviously a car guy. Not only did he own this, he actually owned the car that is on your shirt that we had done for a video of the 71 Dodge Challenger. And we coined it the Death Trap and made some merch. This one's super special and it's full circle for me because we started our channel Joe's Garage when you guys were doing the Challenger and you guys did my 1998 2.5 RS Impreza, which is a restoration on my channel. And now to cap off the icing on the cake, the best car I've given you yet is this Spy Turbo Maserati. And I know that you guys are going to make it look incredible. We will, not only for you, but obviously to honor. Yeah, there's no better way to honor my uncle than getting this car back the way it deserves to be. And I know he would have loved it. And he's here with us in memory. So yeah, this is like the best thing we could do for him. After we load it, I heard from a little birdie that the Subaru might've gotten some work done to it. Yeah, we're making great progress with the 2.5 Impreza build. And you know, we're almost down to a rolling chassis. I just got it on a custom rolling frame. So if we head over to my shop, we can roll it out and take a good look at it and show you guys where we're at. Yeah, and real quick guys, before we go ahead and start pulling this out, go check out Joe's channel. Joe's been a killer friend. He has taken some of the advice that we've given him and he's pursued his own channel. And you're just an all-around good dude. Bro, I appreciate everything you guys have done for me. Every time my client shakes his head like that, I'm not doing it again. We just did two in a row. I'm not jinxing it. You guys should love him too. Go check out his channel. 10 out of 10 guy. Without us rambling too much, let's go ahead and drag this thing out. All right, Mike, who do you want to bet these are locked up? No way, dude. This is a Maserati. I bet you as soon as we tug on it, all of them are unlocked. All right, what are we betting? I'll bet you there's a little ice cream shop up the road. I'll bet you some ice cream. Chocolate swirl? If they got it. Wait, didn't spit in yours. It doesn't count. All right, moment of truth. Let's see. Oh no. Come a little bit forward. No, they're moving. They're moving. All right. Oh, there's one more that's locked though. Which one? The back one. Stop wiggling it. That's cheating. No, we didn't say that in the rules. Uh-oh, Mike. You're going to owe me. Oh, he's going to owe me some ice cream. Dang. We're about to move the trailer into position. It's going up. Chocolate swirl. He's locked up. Get off the car, Mike. Mike, get off the car. This is cheating. Gap. There's no chance. Oh my God. You gotta be kidding me. Dude, I was so close to winning. That's your own fault for being like, all right, one last chance. Look what happened. I wasn't going to film it. I was like, if it's going to pop anywhere, it's going to be right there. And sure enough. Got it. Dude. No, bro. That was like the best flip ever. Dude, yes. We're getting ice cream, boys. Anyway, before we stop back at the shop, let's check in on the 2.5 RS that's made leaps and bounds since we last saw it. Holy crap, Joe. You've done a lot to this thing, man. Yeah, buddy. We're there, guys. It rolls and everything. We can push it wherever we need. It's really just a rolling chassis at this point because everything, suspension, drivetrain, completely pulled. There's two long arms in the back that I have to get removed because I had the car jacked up on that before. Other than that, man, we're almost done stripping the engine bay. But just last week, I just built these frames all out of old bed rails and we just cut it down. I bolted the front to the cross member where the engine cradle goes and the rear subframe and just put it on the dollies we use to move the cars. That's pretty smart. Yo, wait until you see this, guys. Oh, that's cool. Yeah, and we can just start going forward after I get the wheels pulled. Here we go. Check this out. I'm not even touching it. The road. There we go. Some of the goals for the car, you see the top goal, January 2025, back on the road. Yeah. It's still a long shot. And remove all rust is where we've just completed it? Yeah, well, we're close. Here, check this out. You guys get to see a sneak peek. Nobody's even seen this yet on my channel. I just cut this panel out. Oh, it was so bad. Everybody made comments about that panel. You know what? It's even funnier. I'll show it to you. This thing's come a long way. A lot of times, we detail these cars for people, and then it takes them a couple more years to get back to. Check this out, yo. This was that panel right here. And this was what I got the most comments about, like doing any videos, was how bad the rust was right here. Wow. I'm no fabricator or welder, but I'm just doing it as I go. I'm just the average guy who's attempting to restore a rusty car. I don't think I'll ever do a rusty car like this, other than the Death Trap. I mean, that one's gonna be coming to the channel, so. Sweet. Every single week, he's putting out videos, guys, so you need to go support him. Joe, 10 out of 10 guy, helps us with a lot of our videos. But we got a Maserati in the trailer that we gotta get back to the shop, so we can put out another one. Back at the shop with the Maserati Bi-Turbo. And if you know anything about me, I love 80s cars, and this is no exception. I think this thing looks sweet. From the big front grille with the Trident in the front, to the back end that looks like an E30 or a Mercedes 190E of the day. The back end looks just like those cars, besides actually all the badging. This car really wanted you to know is a Maserati. And let's actually throw a counter up and count how many badges are on this car. One, two. With the four caps, that makes 11. This thing is riddled with Maserati badges, which, like Mike had mentioned, does make it very different from the exterior of a BMW E30, or at least in my opinion, because it is a square car. It has the back rubber bumper, it has the front rubber bumper. Takes a lot of cues from that E30. Or maybe the E30 took a lot of cues from the Maserati. But whichever came first, the chicken or the egg, I think it looks like an E30, even down to the wheels. I'm not sure what the BMW wheels that they used during that time period. Obviously, they're a little bit different, but somewhat similar. But what I can say is that the interior of this car definitely makes sure you know that it's a Maserati. So first, we're gonna go ahead and use a tire cleaner to remove all the blooming and dirt from the rubber. And then we're gonna use a wheel cleaner to remove the brake dust and brighten up these old alloy wheels. Thankfully, this Maserati was stored inside a garage and not inside of a barn, like the last couple vehicles that we had worked on. And it's original paint and not repainted like those vehicles either. First, we're gonna use a pre-soak to lift up all the debris and contamination out of the clear coat. We'll rinse it away with our pressure washer and then we'll foam it up and we'll start the wash process. So the owner of this small business called Ballard actually sent us this Pro Blaster for the chassis of the cars. And we told him that we would use it in the channel and let you guys decide how you guys think it works. So without further ado, let us know. All right, so now it's time to clean the engine bay and Mike was ranting and raving about how cool the opening of this hood is. He's being a little dramatic. But to open the hood, we obviously pull the lever inside and then there's this other lever in here for all the way over here that you push forward and then it lifts open. It also closes on both sides like that, which is actually really nice. This is a complete cluster you know what. This doesn't even look like any engine I'm familiar with at all. I wonder where the turbos are mounted on here. What kind of engine is this? It looks like a flat six, no, a boxer six? No, it's a 2.5 liter V6 engine bi-turbo. That's the name, bi-turbo. And it's actually a lot, was a lot faster than you would think. This had about 190 horsepower and it did zero to 60 right under six seconds when it came out. That's as fast as Brent's WRX. For real, and for 1984, 40 years ago. This was actually a performance car. Like you can't say it wasn't. Look at the air intake. The air box being mounted on the back of the engine instead of up on the front. Look how long the piping is. I can't imagine that helped with efficiency. Probably not. But this actually sort of reminds me, I'm a big Audi fan, of the 2.7 bi-turbo that was in the Audi S4's. The intake system here and the air coming through the top like that. It's a totally different design if you know what the motor looks like, but it is kind of similar really. And actually, if you kind of notice, just like the exterior of the car, they got Maserati badges all over the engine bay too. We got one here, one here. It says Maserati over there, over there. We have to add that to the counter. And I think, actually, counting that one too, we're at 16 for this car so far. But first things first, let's go ahead and I should probably vacuum off this foam that has, as Mike would say, seen better days. That's for sure. You gotta do it in synchro, ready? As Mike would say, seen better days. So we'll go ahead and vacuum up that first, then we'll clean the engine bay, and then we'll be ready to wash the outside. So now that we're actually just sitting here, me and Brent, it really interested me how fast this car actually was. Looks pedestrian to me, kind of, but this is a real performance car. This is faster than the M3 of the day, zero to 60. This was faster than Corvettes of the day, zero to 60. And the only cars I could find that were faster than this were like 911s, Ferraris. Grand National was faster than this, but the Grand National was wicked for its day. You had to have a special car to beat this thing in a race. It was not a slouch whatsoever. You think this thing would smoke stuff now? So a properly set up running one of these, and if you're a little wild to give it a tune, this would be pretty quick today. I mean, obviously not like ZL1 Camaro or GT500 fast, but it would still be pretty quick on the road and a lot of fun to drive. Only 2,600 pounds. Your vehicle's brakes are made generally of iron, the pads and the rotors. And when your car stops, it spits a little piece of iron into the air, and then that iron gets caught in your vehicle's paint, so we use an iron remover to remove that so that it is safer to polish as well as bonds better with wax or sealant. And you can tell here, I already sprayed this section of the car, all those little purple dots as well as some of these purple run lines are little pieces of iron that we're removing out of the vehicle. So we're gonna go ahead and spray the whole entire car, and then we're gonna go ahead and clay bar the vehicle to remove not only all the iron contamination, but every little other piece of sediment that's in the vehicle's paint to prepare it for polishing. It's time to polish the Bi-Turbo, and I am super excited to get started on this one because the paint is actually in really, really nice shape compared to the last couple cars that we did. The last couple cars had really bad repaints and they were in much, much worse condition than the Bi-Turbo. So this one should be a lot easier and the end result should be much, much better. What I noticed when I look at the paint is that we have some light scratching, we have some oxidation, and that's about it. I mean, it's really in good shape. And the best part is there's not even any major dents or rust holes or anything that I need to be conscious of while polishing. So I'm gonna start with a light polish and a foam pad just to pull some of that oxidation off and see if we can get rid of most of the scratches and brighten up this cream-slash-off-white paint job. And I think it's gonna end up coming out really, really nicely. And I think we're gonna be left with a near-perfect-looking Maserati Bi-Turbo. And while polishing, Joe actually wanted to stop by the shop and film some stuff of his own for his own channel. So we got a quick reaction from him and then we surprised him with something as well. Sure, it looks a bit better, huh? Oh my goodness. Don't look inside yet. We're not done with that. This is incredible. Just this trunk panel, you would think that this car is brand new. I mean, look at that. I spent a lot of time this morning polishing it, so I bet it'll look really good. I cannot believe it, even this nice. You know, because I knew it'd be clean, dude, but I didn't think the paint was gonna be in this good a condition. I'm thoroughly shocked. I left the best for last, just for you, Joe. Oh yeah. Joe really wanted to come and have a piece of this cosmetic restoration. He really wanted to polish. He's pretty handy with a polisher himself. So I left you the hood. You left me the hood, man. I'm the lucky one that gets to do the whole, like the show piece right here. Cause you know, the hood hits all those reflective spots, but this is incredible. I honestly cannot believe this cream, which you've done so far. It is just, it is incredible, man. It's in good shape, but I'm glad you're here to go ahead and put your hands on it and put your touch on it. So I'm gonna go ahead and set you up with whatever polisher you want. You pick whatever you want off the wall and get to it. I get to hop on whatever polisher too. Oh my gosh, I feel so lucky. And Joe is recording this interaction on his GoPro. It's not the best quality ever cause it was dark in there, but I wanted to leave it in cause I thought it was funny and you guys might enjoy it. When you set up the phone, take your finger and hold it down and it'll lock the focus. So you can stop it going around. Don't hold me that. Sorry, some of us are good with cameras and others still live in 1998 and just don't know how to use technology cause you're old. See how mean he is? He hasn't had his overnight oats breakfast. Bro, I just had mine. RJ has to go online and have overnight oats shipped to him. I make my own at home. Oh, you make your own oats? Yeah, because I'm handy dandy and he has to pay for them. You know, you guys are busy. Sometimes you gotta make your own, sometimes you gotta order them off the internet. I'm better used as a- Mine has better ingredients in it, fact. Oh really? Fact. Fact? This has been our most recent back and forth is me telling him how much better my overnight oats are than his homemade- Yeah, he has to drink his. I get to eat mine. Which would you rather have, drink the calories or eat them? I'll be honest, there's a flip to that. I don't know if I could drink oats, bro, but protein shakes and muscle gainers, like easy. So hang on, he eats like, he calls it slop. That's what he calls his oats, slop. Mine's like a quality protein drink. High quality chia seeds, flax seeds. Go ahead, tell him your flavor of the day. French toast. And what do you eat every day? French toast. What did I have yesterday? Blueberry cobbler. What did I have today? Banana bread. Cookie dough. Maybe tomorrow I'll have cookie dough. He has cookie dough and Oreo. So he'll have a little Oreo for breakfast, a little cookie dough. Gives a little sugar in the morning. It's all about those gains, right? Look at those lats, he's got those lats. Dude, what did you call yours mush? What did he call? Slop. Slop, bro, stop it. There's a whole back story. When we went to go film, when we filmed the Corvette that was in New Hampshire, the same one, we stayed in a hotel. Mike and I didn't have anything for dinner one night, so we went to where the breakfast area was and we saw little packets of brown sugar oatmeal and we took it back to our hotel room and made it and we just started calling it slop. Oh my God, bro, slop. Brian, on the other hand, he's a big chickie nuggie and ranch guy. He says that to everybody and it's not true. Everyone likes a good chickie nuggie. Right, right. Chickie nuggies hit pretty hard. I'm not saying that you're bad for liking chickie nuggets. I'm saying you're bad for not liking anything else but chickie nuggies. So, sitting in this Maserati, I gotta say I'm thoroughly impressed. This thing is really, really cool and this has to be one of the most luxurious and comfortable cars I've ever sat in and we've done a lot of older Mercedes that were super nice, but this thing really does take the cake. Everything is wrapped in leather or Alcantara. This is a real wood shifter. It looks great and these seats are the most comfortable seat I think I've ever sat in. Brent, take a seat next to me. Brent, what'd you just say? These are really nice. Aren't they? This is the only car I've ever seen have leather wrapped around the metal to hold this up. Look at the stitching around the sun visor. You just never see anything like this in literally any other car, but with that being said, as you can tell by that shift knob alone, we've got a lot of badges in this car, so let's get a count of what we got in the interior because I think it's gonna be a lot. There's four speakers that all have the Maserati logo as well. All three pedals have the logo. All four floor mats have the logo and count them, three logos on both sides just to enter the car. Almost missed this little guy. Now that I've counted up all of the interior badges, there's 26 in total, we're gonna see if RJ can guess how many there are. RJ, what are you doing? Are you guys done counting the interior? Yes, give me a nice guess. 14. Oh my god, 20? A little bit more. 22? Actually, not a little bit more, I'm sorry about that. 25? 26 flipping emblems on the interior? 26. Where does that put the overall counter at? It's gotta be over 40 now, but I don't know exactly. 40? We'll put it up there somewhere, the total counter, where we're at. Why is there a Maserati symbol on the AC? On the AC, on the radio, on the steering wheel. There's one under the mat and there's some on the mats. Oh my gosh. On every pedal, on every speaker. I feel like there's probably still one more missing. I mean, I had to really dig to try to find all of them. There's one on every single pedal. They really, really, really wanted you to know that this was a Maserati. If this was a Maserati Trident that clipped into the buckle, how cool would that be? Super cool. That'd be super cool. All right, let's get this back seat out. Well, we've got some seats here. This is interesting. That's good. It looks like this is like birdseed. Often see these. Holy smokes! That's so cool. Did you just find that now? Yeah. This thing was so far ahead of its time. Who needs tint? What do you guys think people use those shaders for back in the day? Privacy, Brent. For privacy, Brent, it's called a privacy shade. This is the one thing I wish my Scirocco did. I wish it did this. Brian's E30 does this with the back windows flare out. Great place to ash your cigar. Awesome place to ash your cigar. Never leave your ash in the car, but don't litter. All right, time to clean the leather seats from the Maserati. And we're going to use a dedicated leather cleaner as well as a soft bristle horsehair brush to just gently agitate the leather because it is genuine and we don't want to be removing any of the dye or any of the texture from the top layer of the leather. But we're actually going to have to continue that process to the interior of the vehicle as well because the whole entire door card is covered in leather. The whole entire dash is covered in leather. The center console, pretty much the whole entire interior of this car is leather. We're going with one of the least aggressive agitation methods and a leather cleaner just to clean it properly. And then we'll go ahead and condition everything and make sure it's soft and make sure it'll last for another 40 years. Now we're going to finish up the details, show you guys the final result, and then we have a really cool surprise for you. So keep watching. Okay, the Maserati is all finished. And now we figured it'd be a good time to call in our resident car expert and broker, John Sabo, to give us a little bit of the history and backstory of the Bi-Turbo. And he's also bringing a special car along for us to compare to the Bi-Turbo. And I believe he should be here in just a second. All right, I think I hear him. And I did not expect that. Out with the old, in with the new. What's going on, John Sabo? Hey, RJ. How are you? Good to see you. Long time no see. This thing's spicy, it looks great. Oh, thank you very much. Beautiful, what is it exactly? This is a 2024 Maserati GranTurismo. It's basically their two-door GranTouring car. This one is just short of 500 horsepower. It's a twin-turbo V6. It shares the power plant with Maserati's supercar, the MC20. So, John, you basically brought us a modern version of this car. I tried. Basically, besides the both being white, they both have twin-turbo V6s. This one is considered a bi-turbo by name only. It's interchangeable dialogue. What is the difference between, I've had this question seriously forever, and no one can actually answer me exactly. I've heard that a bi-turbo is a smaller turbo that helps the bigger turbo spool faster, it builds pressure. And then I've heard twin-turbos are two of the same size turbos. Does any of that make sense, or have I been lied to my whole life? Well, you haven't been lied to. I mean, there's sequential, and then there's parallel turbos. But these are literally two-turboed cars. That's it. Bi-turbo, twin-turbo, just different lingo. So it's just semantics. It means the same thing? That's an old word for it. This is a new word for it. Speaking of old word for it, was this the first time it was actually used in a car? Yeah, this is the first production car to have a twin-turbo setup, and also a three-valve head. When they built this car, what market were they competing in? They were targeting the BMW 3 Series primarily, what I think. I mean, there's other cars that had the Ford Thunderbird turbo coupe. Obviously, they always wanted to compare power ratios to the Corvette. Corvette, in 84, was the crossfire injection car. That only had 205 horsepower. So, I mean, handling-wise, power-wise, handling it right on par with BMW, power, they were probably one up on that. Wow. That's exactly what I actually compared this car to when I was looking at the body style, the wheel design and everything. It really does look a lot like a BMW from certain angles, until you get into the interior, which is the nicest place I've ever been in an 80s car, by far. I mean, there's not a- Cigar smoking lounge in there. To continue your comparison thought about BMW versus the Maserati. These were about $26,000 in 1984. That was a lot of money in 84. It's like $90,000 now. The BMW of comparison was probably around 16, 17. So, I mean, it's a $10,000 variable between, how much leather and turbos do you get for 10 grand? This much. It's a lot. Well, 10 grand back then is 30 grand now, but still, I mean, that's, like I said, the more that I worked on this car, the more I fell in love with it because from a bird's eye view, it doesn't look like much of anything until you're sitting inside it or you find out the performance and engineering that went into creating this car. I'm a huge BMW fan, as you know. You can drive down the road and see 50 BMWs on the way home from the 90s and early 2000s. You won't see one of these. Yeah, that's true. Especially because underneath, I don't even know if we showed it much in the video, but the chassis is almost surrounded by a whole entire cage, I'm assuming to protect the oil pan and some of the other vulnerable parts of the chassis, no? These cars have pretty good rust issues through the years. When you find a solid one, that's special. So, how has Maserati done in quashing their reliability issues from this time period and into, what, probably the early 2000s they were kind of finicky? I mean, from this car probably until the last generation, it was notorious as service hounds. They're always in the service department. Maintenance costs are expensive. You know, they shared a lot of parts with Ferrari. The newer one, it's just not shared with anything outside of Maserati. I thought Ferrari had created this engine for this car, no? They also have a twin-turbo V6, but it's not the Tuna. This car's got 5,000 miles on it, and it's been trouble-free. But you can see, if you wanna look between the two cars, your two flex pipes up front that lead the airbox, I mean, obviously this is a dual airbox system, but you will see that there's a similar vibe to it. It looks like they left you a lot of room to do maintenance. They consider this a front mid-engine car. I was gonna say, it's behind the front axle. Well, John, thank you so much for bringing what I view as the modern version of the Biturbo. Last question for you. Does this get your stamp of approval? 100%. Would you put it in your garage? No. I would be very interested to see what the final repair bill on this one, like every other person that thinks about Maserati. But yeah, you did a fantastic job bringing this thing back to life. Guys, go check out Johnny Sabo at Johnny Sabo on Instagram. He's an exotic car broker and consultant, and he can source anything on four wheels. Thank you again so much. My pleasure, buddy. I really appreciate it. Thanks for having me. But now it's time to do the reveal to Joe and his cousin, who is the one that's inheriting the car. I'm ready. Let's do this. All right, guys, you can't see me, but I'm on the other side of the garage door with Joe and John. John is the owner of the Maserati Sun, and this car is now his. So without further ado, we're gonna pop this garage open and do the big reveal. Oh, wow. It's just incredible, isn't it? That trunk lid just looks brand new. Wow. Have you ever seen it? I have never seen it look this nice. Yeah. That is just incredible. In its lifetime, you know, because we're about 30, and I don't think it's ever been, in my opinion, I've never seen it cleaned, but he could tell you a little better. Have you ever sat in it? Supposedly, I rode in it when I was maybe two years old, but I don't remember. Sure, well, we can't drive it because it doesn't need some work, but yeah, come check out the interior. Absolutely. The interior was shockingly- Yo, the whole car is just out of control, man. I mean, it's so clean, it's actually giving me the chills. Wow. Yo, I gotta- My dad would love to see this right now. I hope we're able to make him proud. I wanna take a picture. John, smile. Uncle John told me when we did the Challenger that, you know, the Maserati was A-okay, but, you know, with everything that was going on, we just kind of put it aside. So for you guys to get it in there now, it's really special. I mean, I almost started crying when I saw him sit down and see. Oh, man. It's a beautiful car. I hope he's proud. Oh, he would be. I'm sure he would be. I'm sure he is. That's cool, man. What's the next plan of action for it after this? It's going down to Florida eventually to my cousin who's a master mechanic and he's gonna rebuild it. Yeah, shout out to Jim Jim. I know he watches, guys. He loves your channel. Shout out to my cousin, Jim, down in Florida. Yeah, shout out, Jim. Yeah, because he's gonna do whatever to get it running, I guess, right? Yeah.
