Flooded P1 is perfect for Ed. The wrecked P1 is perfect for Freddie.
I would agree, but a flood hybrid is something I don't think I could personally ever trust.
@@Gearbhall lol, it's a hypercar. You can't trust it from the manufacturer.
Id got for the wrecked instead of flooded electrical issue , plus battery needs to be changed Houston crosta gave his review on the flooded one
I was thinking that :)
It’s not wrecked anymore.
I lost it when Ed said "put it in rice or whatever they do" 🤣🤣🤣
There ain't enough rice on this planet to save that one!
That only works on Asian cars ;)
Yeah, I was thinking about that too. Lol What are they going to do buy a couple thousand pounds of rice and put the whole car in or just pull all of the electronics and wiring in rice!
Same 😂 he said it so nonchalantly too lmaoooo
IKR!
Turn the P1 it into a Boat! It already has 100 plus hours on the water.
That's actually a very good idea !
Yep, borrow parts from the new aquatic cybertruck LOL
its perfect for the speed boat conversion you would have the fastest car on the lake
@@cooperjackson5840 smart thinking!
@@ListerMotorsports 🙌🏼
Mclaren+water? Einstein would not be able to figure that thing out.
It would be relative
tavarish has entered the chat
Salt water is sooo much worse than fresh. Then add this electrical socket into the mix...... Wall art is about it.
@@MrHondablink yes, but come on the content would pay for it in 2 months. For both Ed and Tavarish it would be their biggest videos ever
@@spiffyspider7272, you'd have to use a flat plane crank though.
I'd have both.
SAME
@@Shauma_llama very nice idea
Be more work to fix that than it was to fix your LT. Entire wiring harness and hybrid system is junk. Every aluminium part and other metal part will be beyond repair by time can service it. Wheels will corroding. Brakes fully redone if usable. All your lines and fuel system. Every computer will be dead.
There will not be a decently serviceable part on that car.
You are in florida and know what the salt does. Imagine a P1 that is winter driven in chicago. That is what car is coated in.
U should def buy one of ‘em and fix it, it would be amazing content.
@@russelljacob7955 I'd argue it would be even worse than a Chicago winter car. This things been just saturating in a corrosive liquid for days (as you mentioned via work needed).
"Water damaged McLaren" might be a new term for being unreliable. "Don't ask him to do it, he's as reliable as water damaged McLaren!"
Hahaha! Nice
*salt water damaged*
Flooded P1 for Ed + wrecked P1 for Tavarish + and cheapest clean title for Hoovie = CarTrek 12
Fast forward to the Spring of 2023, let’s all give Freddy Tavarish Hernandez around of applause for buying the Flooded P1 and even started to rebuild it!
As soon as the first pictures of this car hit the wires, the ENTIRE interwebs immediately hoped Ed would buy this car
My heart still breaks over the pictures of the Daytona and Inverted Superbird that got messed up from Ian.
You and me both, Brother! McLaren's and Ferrari's are special cars, but at minimum, they only built one for every 2 dealerships, to meet Nascars rules for being allowed to compete. So yeah, it was a bad week for Gearheads everywhere!
I saw a picture from one hurricane. A guy had parked his 911 on giant inflatable bags and floated it above the floodwaters. If I lived in a hurricane-prone area and I didn't have elevated parking I'd absolutely have some giant airbags on hand.
They're fixable. At least they didn't get washed away into the sea.
I knew the guy who took care of those cars. He was getting choked up telling me about them. Really sad.
@@gagefraw3182 I know Rawlings was wanting to buy them. Saw the footage of the Superbird at Mecum. The tub is pretty messed up, but it still looks drivable!
"You put them in rice or whatever it takes" in that semi-straight face made me laugh
Love this channel. Just moved to the ATL area and had the pleasure of bumping into Ed at a local cars meet this past weekend - and it was quite interesting to see that he is a real storyteller even not behind the camera (I wondered if this stuff was rehearsed or planned or... but not the case. I can sit and listen to this guy tell stories all day long.) Love it - keep these going Ed!!
Send it to Lanzante and have them turn it into one of their convertibles. Would be expensive but it also would be unique.
yesss
lol
Was there last week for the 10 year anniversary. Some phenomenal examples
You know you have connections when your talking to the owner of the most viral car days after the storm
Houston already talked about the P1. He said it took $800k to fix the Bugatti and being the P1 is a Hybrid would cost more than the Bugatti to fix.
nah would be about the same Buggatti parts are stupid expensive alot of the shit in a P1 is the same as 720 the hyrbid system comes right out of a senna so there is parts available
@@BlinkyBill_ the Senna doesn't have a hybrid system. The hybrid system in the P1 is proprietary
@@BlinkyBill_ the P1 is more closely related to the MP4-12C/650S than the 720, and as Ebraheem mentioned the Senna does not have a hybrid system at all.
@@BlinkyBill_ no it would be way more than the Bugatti Houston already went through it
That was a great video. Super informative
The moment I saw the P1 on Insta, I knew it would be on Ed's radar!
I have a clip of the P1 on my channel and the owner was pretty chill about the whole situation considering he lost a P1 and his Rolls Royce ended up on top of a Honda
Buy the p1 and convert it into a race car with just the motor without hybrid system just like Houston from royalty exotics said
I feel pretty bad for the owner of the P1. A lot of the first articles that I saw about the car really made it look like insurance fraud. Where he set it out in a parking lot and just let it sit there during the hurricane. Until I watched Houston's video, I didn't know that it got completely swept out of his garage and floated away.
Still reeks of fraud. If I knew a hurricane was coming I would have been driving my 300k mile Honda out of harms way let alone a newly purchased P1.
If anyone actually believed that they’re definitely idiots. The dude literally posted the car with 4 feet of water in the garage
A couple of lifts would have saved both cars..
Why didn’t the owner just pay to have it trucked or driven away from danger ?? - the warnings were there surely
Ho couldn’t have moved his million dollar house but he could have with his million dollar car ( s)
@@mrmartin2079 The Insurance company should make him EAT the entire deal. $10K and it could've been removed from the danger zone.
I thought the notification said a flooded PT Cruiser 😂
I live in Fort Myers, FL. Thank God my family and house are ok. My AP1 Honda S2000 also made it through the hurricane safe in my garage since we didn’t get flooded like the P1 did!
WE NEED AN ED BOLIAN AND ROYALTY EXOTICS COLLAB!
Hurricane Harvey was the deathknell for Texas World Speedway, in College Station, TX. The property was rented to store untold number of flood damaged cars, and the resulting damage to the track made it undriveable. Shame about the P1.
This is a hybrid car with lots of electronics and batteries that don't like water - especially salt water. With this in mind, a crashed car may be easier to make whole. Repair costs would be crazy on either.
I definitely think the wrecked one is a much better option because you still get the P1 powertrain which is the best thing about it. It is cool to have a 650 that looks like a P1 but it’s cooler to just have a P1
The flooding was primarily from rain, was NOT primarily surge. We got so much rain, every river flooded. People got stranded because they were keeping an eye out for surge and they got flooded from the other direction.
Nothing to do with this upload but,
... we got passed on Rte 91 up in Northern VT near Canada by a bunch of exotics on a rally run this past Saturday. Full stickers. But they passed so quickly I didn't even catch the name.
Glorious sunny morning in the mountains of VT with full foliage kicking and the sight and sound of millions of dollars of pure engineering beauty moving in synch at what I estimate was, as Ed would say, a "spirited pace".... perfect!
the moment I saw the flooded P1 on the news I KNEW it was perfect for Ed! I've been waiting on this video!
From Cape Coral, sister city to Ft. Myers and love to see our name in the news, even if it's not the most uplifting story. Flooding missed our home and buissness by less then a foot and we can't be greatful enough. Thank you for the story, have fun in SWFL!
Watch Houston's video on the P1 if you haven't yet, especially with the hybrid of the P1 it's a decoration at this point unless someone wants to spend retail P1 money to fix a flood one
I personally think the crashed one will actually be easier, juding by houston's video on the flood P1. For the price of the battery of one you could basically get another spyker for it.
"Put it in rice" as you just pour ALL THE RICE in and around the whole car lol
Also I've owned a salvaged car from Katrina, it was a nightmare between the electrical and leaking issues
This one is crazy because I've seen that exact car a few months prior and it is the only P1 I've seen.
I’m an auto tech, work 3 miles from sanibel and semi close to that p1. I’ve already tow tagged 23 cars in 2 days of being back open
Tavarish would be the best candidate for this kind of rebuild, the car is some sort of continuity for his 675LT Project, pretty sure he has the best knowledge about these car since he rebuilt from the ground his 675LT
The only way to fix that is to strip it all the way down and do a total nut and bolt rebuild, replacing the wiring harness and every electronic along the way.
As soon I saw the pics of that P1 a week ago, my first thought was "Where is Ed Bolian?"
I think the guy with the yellow P1 knew exactly what he was doing. Saw the market maybe going down in the future and decided to get out of it for some quick cash
He owned the car for less than a month. Maybe this theory could be possible if he owned it for over a year but not the case.
The owner already bought a McLaren Speedtail; 5 days after storm. So I’m guessing you are correct. 👍
@@nolanmackey4175 guy can afford a $2 mil car but can't afford to move it out of the state for a few days to avoid the largest hurricane / storm surge in 20 years? Either he's a total idiot or he's up to something
He said they were told there were at no risk of flooding so didnt take any precautions
@@autohitman He obviously didn't get paid after 5 days. Takes awhile to get a cheque from insurance.
The second I saw the photo of that car on reddit, I started hoping that Ed would try to buy it, seems like an incredible opportunity to have such a unique car
What I don’t understand is he took pics in the garage as it flooded….. but then the cars are outside floating away.. how did that happen??
The garage door end up ripping down?
I've been talking to people about the flood p1 and I've been tossing 3 ideas up
1. Turn it into a full fledged unique drift car (no hybrid) built motor, angle kit, livery, roll cage,
2. Send to lazenta for the kit and make it a unique p1gtr of sorts with a built motor etc with no hybrid
3. Pay the high tag and restore it
Houston talked about this on his Royalty channel and had great insight on this and the other potential cars that will be hitting an auction site near you soon.
I think everyone thought about Ed when we saw this unfold. This is probably the first the vinwiki world saw history in the making, and Ed was right there with us.
The flood P1 would be cool to remove the hybrid system (expensive to replace) and make it a non hybrid P1, just like the GTRs!
I live in the area affected and its like an exotic car show only on flatbeds going down the road.. so sad to see all these cars lost.....
OMG, this car was from my area and I saw it before this happened at the dealer. It was for sale at Gulf Coast Motorworks just a week ago for over 2 Million dollars! Volcano Yellow with carbon accents... it was a beautiful car in person. It's a shame that the owner didn't store it somewhere safe or wait a week to purchase after the hurricane. Fort Myers, Bonita Springs, and Naples all got hammered by Ian, and so many exotics were destroyed along with many lines devastated. Horrible situation for everyone here. I also heard another P1 got flooded too.
He had it in his garage, that's normally considered "safe"
He had it in a garage and it floated out on the street.
@@leeboo2521 - The garage is the place where flooding was most likely to occur. My home was spared, but my garage got tons of water!
Haha! 😂 I was waiting for this episode. I left a comment online stating it was the next car for Tavarish to buy.
this could be a great opportunity for a new cartreck buy a flooded car
Ed, you know the answer.... BUT!!! Is a salt water flood. Not a freshwater flood. Nothing will be salvageable. Every single part is no good. Salt water flood car is on same level as a fire car for things to fix.
Love these updates!
Lol I mentioned Ed on the picture of this on FB 😂😂
P1 would be the Ultimate Build back to life.. and Travish already has experience 😁 in fixing them. Pick up that Rolls while you at it too 😁
Failing investment. But the flood. Epic story
I just put two and two together, that P1 ended up right across the street from my uncle's house... literally 100 feet from his front door!
I messaged Ed as soon as I saw the P1 floating in the water. On the 29th at 8:55 AM. He may have never seen my Instagram DM but I knew he would hear about it and I hope he gets it!
Salt water and car batteries never mix well. I really think this P1 may have been in the drink too long.
The salt water part of the flood car is a HUGE issue. With that said, if you did a Hoovie and Wizard or Tavarish type of step by step restore of a salt water flooded P1, I'd watch every video of that
I fuckin called it, as soon as I saw that post I knew Ed was gonna be pouncing on the chance
Given both cars will need battery replacement, I'd say choose the car you think would make the best story/you can get the better deal on. The flood car would be the better story I think long term. The already repaired crash car would probably be the better deal, short term.
I agree with your drivetrain swap. The P1, to me, is the BEST looking modern McLaren. Take this flooded P1, plus everything from a 765, and you are left with the best looking McLaren with amazing performance.
Ed I don’t mind the stuff you say but a franken-p1 sounds like the worst thing ever. Just a truely heinous thought
Naples is south of Fort Myers. My Mercedes SL500 is still sitting in my destroyed house in Naples. The insurance companies are completely overwhelmed.
The first thought I had was this would be an awesome car for Ed
When sandy hit here it took months for ins to process them for resale by then salt water made them scrap
Mental. Here in the Uk, a flood damaged car that is completely totalled cannot be rebuilt and used on the road. It's deemed as being too dangerous as there is no real way to police the standard of a rebuild and with complex electronics, anything could happen. So they go to places like Eurospares as parts cars or to the crusher.
I know there was mention of buyback offers, I had a Wrangler and an SL55 that were totaled due to the storm, Hagerty did offer a buyback immediately on the SL, there has not been a buyback offer on the wrangler yet from Progressive.
Flooded P1 is definitely a vibe.
Car was not bought off of Bring a Trailer, the car no-saled. Was sold at Gulf Coast Motorworks in Bonita Springs.
If the price was around the 100k mark it would make sense trying to get it fixed and running but with the amount of money you could still make selling the parts I doubt it will sell cheap.
If the main chassis okay on the wrecked one I would go with that one. If the main chassis is not okay because their carbon it will probably cost as much as the car is worth to repair it probably only directly at the McLaren is you typically will need a whole new p1 chassis. The one that's flooded will probably have to have everything stripped out. Especially to verify all the electronics are okay.
I'd ask Tavarish... You could do an episode of car trek where the headline is "everyone has to fix a p1" and you both have p1's and then hoovie rolls up in the DDE720 GTR on a tow truck (shout out Gintani)
In my state they unfortunately have laws that prevent you from purchasing a flooded car back. They all have to be sold out of state.
Different! I have to say that I'd probably avoid any car which had been exposed to salt water!
Owner should have had one of those protective car bubble things, I’ve seen ones in areas that get tsunamis where you strap the car to the ground so it doesn’t float away
An idea for Car Trek! Limit of $10,000 to spend on a flood car. Who can get their flood car up and running once again for the lowest amount of $? Put them through challenges and see how many still hold up. Then put them on an auction website, and see which one brings the biggest profit, or least loss as the case may be.
knew this video was coming the second i saw the photo
Literally when I saw the original post I’m like look who’s getting a flooded p1
I’m also interested in buying this P1. Good luck bidding on it
Did this man say put it in rice. Classy Ed
I live between Naples and Fort Myers. There's a ton of damage and it was like a war zone in some areas
Wow! I saw a picture of that P1 by the tree on Reddit. Interesting to see it a week later as the thumbnail.
Flooded hybrid... That seems like an absolute nightmare that would cost more than what a new one is worth to fix
Nice video Ed!
Saltwater + that hybrid system 😬
meanwhile Ed: 🥵
The P1 is at copart. I'll be checking it out this week.
Saw this car for sale earlier this year before the flood for 2.3 million
what about the regera that got flooded in naples as well? id assume that car is near impossible to repair
The p1 is my dream car and wen I saw the “McLar- boat” sailing the high seas on the internet, my heart couldn’t take it 💔💔
Nice story Ed 😊
Aside from F1 the P1 is the ultimate. Throw in a CGT and F50 and the trinity is complete.
I laughed when I got this CZcams notification, I knew Ed couldn't resist rich pickings in Florida, ok, time to watch the video now
We need the owner of the p1 on this channel
Lmao did he really say put em in rice
🚘 🍚 😂😂
Just a little thing to remember a sitting battery isn’t that bad compared to a constantly charging and recharging battery.
Ed, the best way to fix a saltwater car is to sink it in freshwater for a week. We do this to seaplanes that sink in saltwater. The freshwater flushes out all the saltwater. It works.
Could you post the links when these flood cars can me up for auction
A nice flood car is the gift that keeps on giving for years to come!
I'd buy the stolen and crashed P1. The flood car might be a good story but it's probably going to be way more expensive to own in the long term, and it certainly won't see gains in value.
Apparently the owner received a yellow speedtail couple days after...🤫
