Beautiful car and nice vid (y) Just about everything you said you feel about your Miura is what I feel about my 05 GT 🍻 .. well, except for the fires and the need for fire extinguishers! o_O Seeing your garage and that you do your own work, I'd say you totally qualify as a car-guy / gear-head 🤘

Cool to find you have the very car that's pictured on the Schaefer beer sign 🍻

That was very nice to watch. Thanks for sharing it. It’s a great reminder of how many successful businesses are started out of necessity in desperate economic times.

Couple questions: What all was damaged in the fire, and did you have trouble finding replacements parts?

And, was it a difficult decision to change the car's color, since it wouldn't be original anymore?

Love your story. Truly the American dream.

I agree with you. The Miura is the most beautiful car ever created. It is the only car I find more attractive than the FGT. Also love the Boxer.

Edit; I noticed in some of your memorabilia that a JOTA car had clear lenses over the headlights. That might give you a oval appearance from the front without having to repaint. Just random thoughts, nothing more.

Last, did you separate the transaxle and engine oiling systems?

Thank you for your kind words! Funny you mention the Jota, as I did create the plexiglass covers for my Miura, but ultimately my dad and I agreed that it would be difficult to stomach the drilling of the nose/hood. So I left it alone.

I did separate the oiling systems, which is good for the longevity of the car.

Just a couple of carb venturi and the air filters. I have never had trouble finding any parts for the car fortunately. They do share some components with other models and makes which helps.

I did struggle with the color choice, but ultimately I could not stomach the yellow. Like my GT I plan on keeping the car till I am six feet under, so I thought I would paint it a color that made me happy. I took a very American approach. I told myself that this car has lived it's entire life outside of the factory on US soil, and was customized already, and I love the fact that we Americans customize our cars, so I decided to keep this tradition going by changing its color. Also keep in mind that the car was worth only 1/10 of its current value when I made that decision.
