If you’re not familiar with Adam Carolla, he’s the comedian, director, and rich-as-all-hell car guy that apparently has a soft spot for old Lamborghinis. Well, had, as he’s now selling his entire collection to anyone with a spring in their step and pockets deeper than the Marianas trench. You probably can’t afford this.




Adam Carolla, in his teens and early twenties, would drive a beat-to-shit Mazda long bed mini pickup truck that he would take to his job at construction sites, where he would fulfill the role of ditch digger. Fast forward several decades, and he’s built a podcasting empire that has allowed him to own some of the rarest Italian machines on Earth, namely five Lamborghinis made in an era when the automaker wasn’t yet synonymous with mirrors and razor blades.

Over the years, I’ve been fortunate enough to see a few of these gems in the flesh at Carolla’s race shop and studio - even going as far as to sit in the most expensive car for sale, a Miura with SV body conversion.


After having that revealing experience, I’ll simply repeat the tired adage used by seasoned Craigslist sellers - “Man, the pictures just don’t do ‘em justice.”

Here are some excerpts from the descriptions of the five cars being listed for sale, with their respective asking prices:

The total for these five rare Italian gems comes to just over $4.3 million, which is a eye-watering chunk of change, but with my ability to predict the future of car values, I’m quite certain that the prices for these supremely sought-after Lambos will only increase. Sure, a 401k may be a little less risky, but it’s not like you can do donuts with your retirement account.
