Then the garage is empty because Bolian unloads his 15-car collection online. The announcement came a few days ago with the note that everything had to go – which later turned out to be incorrect, as some items have since been taken off the market.
Bolian isn’t just a popular YouTuber: he’s a passionate collector with a penchant for the most eccentric, be it rescued or famous cars, rarities and restoration projects. He never made a secret of how he considered the lost McLaren F1, chassis # 39, once owned by infamous drug lord El Chapo and missing for two decades, to be the most coveted car of all time, and that he would be ready to sell anything to get your hands on it.
Bolian’s hunt for El Chapo’s McLaren is well documented. He called it the treasure hunt of his life, both because of the challenges of tracking it down and the fact that it would be brought from Mexico and possibly to the United States, where he would risk being confiscated by authorities. Still, it’s the only McLaren F1 Bolian Bolian can ever afford, and he once said he would even consider sending it to Europe and only driving it there just so he could call it his own.
And that brings us to his lottery ticket sale. It includes the infamous 2006 Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren by Paris Hilton, a 2009 Ferrari 430 Scuderia, a converted 2006 Lamborghini Gallardo Spyder, a 2007 Ferrari 599 HGTE, a 2002 Mercedes S55 AMG, a 2008 Porsche Cayenne S and a 1999 Porsche Carrera X51 Aero, all of which were sold immediately, well above the offer price. His Cannonball Run record, which set the 2004 Mercedes-Benz CL55 AMG, is still up for grabs when you have about $ 200,000 lying around.
Bolian eventually kept a 201X Lamborghini, which he calls the “undiscovered cheapest functional Lambo in the world,” a 2007 Lamborghini Murcielago LP640 Coupé, and the perfect wife’s car, the 2014 Mercedes-Benz GL63, which his wife kept.
In January of this year, Bolian reported an attempt to cheat him out of $ 2.5 million with the promise of getting El Chapo’s McLaren F1. At this point, he admitted that he was considering selling his fleet to raise the money. With this, his supporters and car enthusiasts believe that this is the “really crazy thing” he wants to buy: he has finally tracked down the F1, is in contact with everyone who has it, and is collecting money for it. When that happens, a highly entertaining story can be counted on.
