NASCAR at Germany's National Auto Museum! | Coffee With Kenny · Kenny Wallace Media

• 0:00
  Happy Saturday morning, everybody, and we are right in
• 0:04
  the middle of Germany at one of the most incredible racing
• 0:08
  museums I've ever been to in my life.
• 0:10
  Meet my new friend. This is Gregor Mieser.
• 0:15
  So where are we at? Well, we are here in the middle
• 0:19
  of Germany, basically 100 kilometer north of Frankfurt,
• 0:24
  and it's a very small place and it is the National Auto Museum.
• 0:29
  It belongs to one guy. His name is Friedhelm Lowe Loh,
• 0:35
  and he's a self-made billionaire and he's been into collecting
• 0:38
  cars like you would not believe it.
• 0:41
  So I thought this would be the perfect coffee with Kenny,
• 0:43
  because yes, it's exactly what you would expect.
• 0:47
  You know, Michael Schumacher's Ferrari car, all the, oh, hold
• 0:51
  on, all the Ferrari stuff. But as we were going through the
• 0:57
  museum, I saw this Earnhardt I Rock car, and then I saw the
• 1:05
  Jeff Gordon car. So immediately I text Ray
• 1:11
  Ebernam because I believe you told me yes, Ray Ebernam sold
• 1:14
  those to. Him.
• 1:16
  Immediately, Ray Ebernam says, hey, those are good guys.
• 1:19
  Yes, they sold them a couple cars, but these cars are so
• 1:24
  incredible. There's got to be a billion
• 1:27
  dollars in here, it seems like hundreds of millions of dollars
• 1:30
  worth of incredible race cars. But let's take a walk.
• 1:33
  We're going to end up at another IROC car.
• 1:37
  Let's go, Gregor, let's go. So we got the Earnhardt car.
• 1:42
  And look here, you talk about diversified.
• 1:45
  We got the Jeff Gordon car. And listen, this place is so
• 1:50
  big, we're not going to be able to eat everything.
• 1:51
  But I really like things like this, OK?
• 1:54
  This is a Mercedes motor, but it shows you how the drive shaft
• 1:58
  runs through and then there is the rear end.
• 2:01
  Really unique things like this. Let's go to some highlights,
• 2:05
  Gregor, because we can only go 8 minutes.
• 2:06
  That's all we want to do. This car right here.
• 2:09
  I mean, they got like, look at this.
• 2:12
  This stuff is unbelievable. We're going to go down here to
• 2:16
  Ferrari. We're going to make a loop.
• 2:20
  Look at this right here, Michael Schumacher, look at this stuff,
• 2:27
  would you? And then one of the Ferrari
• 2:30
  original haulers. What do you got to say?
• 2:33
  What? Well, this is over.
• 2:35
  Here have a look at this the most successful Ferrari Formula
• 2:39
  One car ever ever made, driven by Michael Schumacher.
• 2:42
  It's also a a pre winning car of course.
• 2:46
  Right there, Michael Schumacher, seven time world title, right?
• 2:52
  And. Look at that.
• 2:53
  Hold on one minute. I got to show everybody.
• 2:57
  Tell me. Keep going.
• 2:58
  Yeah, well. This this car has from 11
• 3:01
  starts, this Formula One Ferrari has seven No 8 victories,
• 3:06
  actually 8 victories. So this is the most successful
• 3:09
  chassis, Michael. How did this guy, how did this
• 3:11
  man get these real race cars? This I don't know.
• 3:15
  This I wouldn't know. He did it though.
• 3:18
  Well, but this one over there with the number 12, very
• 3:21
  interesting car. That's Niki Lauda.
• 3:23
  Exactly. But this is the very Ferrari,
• 3:25
  the very chassis that Niki Lauda took for his first Grand Prix.
• 3:29
  Grand Prix victory, Spain, 1974. We, we think we know wealthy
• 3:38
  people. There's some people over here in
• 3:40
  Europe who got some real money. So one thing I like about this
• 3:44
  Ferrari over here now, this is who you think he bought this
• 3:48
  from? You think he bought that hauler
• 3:50
  from Enzo? Enzo Ferrari?
• 3:52
  I mean, how did he get that hauler?
• 3:54
  I wouldn't know. I wouldn't know how he got it,
• 3:56
  but. It's money, baby.
• 3:58
  It's a pretty original hauler. You say hauler.
• 4:01
  Yeah, We call it we a truck. It's it's a hauler.
• 4:04
  We. Would say transporter.
• 4:06
  Transporter. Yeah, well, that's a nicer way
• 4:08
  of saying it. Let's go look at this baby now.
• 4:11
  This is real to the maximum peak.
• 4:15
  Tell me about this car. What do you think about that
• 4:17
  car? Well, there's also a classic
• 4:19
  Ferrari, but it hasn't got a it hasn't got a 12 cylinder engine.
• 4:23
  It has got a six cylinder engine, but it's the very
• 4:27
  chassis that won the Tiger Florio in Sicily.
• 4:30
  Oh my gosh. But also.
• 4:32
  It's beat up, you know it's the real deal.
• 4:34
  It is absolutely with all the patent.
• 4:36
  I also won the 1000 kilometer at the Nurburgring way back in.
• 4:41
  When was? It early 60s.
• 4:43
  So. So this car won Nurburgring.
• 4:48
  My God. OK, let's go over here.
• 4:49
  I want to show you my favorite car.
• 4:52
  I listen, I don't have I don't have a selfie stick or anything
• 4:55
  like this. I want to get over here because
• 5:00
  when I was a kid growing up, there was cars that I remembered
• 5:05
  this number 26 over here. I remember this type of car.
• 5:09
  And this is a bad boy. And do you think this is the
• 5:12
  most expensive car in this area? I reckon it is people over here
• 5:18
  who run the museum. They don't talk about prices,
• 5:21
  but I know for sure one of these P3 Ferrari had been sold at
• 5:26
  auction for roughly $60 million. 6060. 60, not 1660. 6 O My hair
• 5:37
  is a little messed up because I just ran Nurburgering a little
• 5:39
  bit ago. All right, let's take a look at
• 5:41
  it. We've talked about it now here
• 5:43
  it is. All right at 26 right there.
• 5:47
  Man, that's a bad ass car. When I was a kid growing up.
• 5:51
  Look at these Ferraris, huh? When I was a kid growing up,
• 5:56
  this is when I would have little slot car tracks like HO tracks.
• 6:00
  This, this is what I just thought was so incredible.
• 6:03
  Look here. Ferrari 3/30/1966 Look at that
• 6:10

  You can't. You can barely see it.

  We're going to go right around here.
• 9:43
  This is the cutaway car Evernamba Ray Overham did a good
• 9:47
  job, really nice real cutaway car oil cooler, oil filter.
• 9:54
  This is what's interesting. You know a lot of things
• 9:56
  Cutaway, Cutaway Bilstein shock valve covers.
• 10:00
  What's interesting about this car is the dry sump tank is all
• 10:04
  the way in the back like we used to do it.
• 10:06
  The oil goes all the way up here with the oil pump, through the
• 10:12
  motor, you know, through the oil filter, through the MO 9 oil
• 10:17
  cooler and then it comes all the way back.
• 10:23
  That's wild. Hey, buddy, how you doing?
• 10:25
  Good to see you, man. They're like that's somebody's
• 10:29
  crazy. OK, we're going to go here.
• 10:32
  We're going to end everybody because I want to get a good
• 10:34
  look at this car that. Now listen, we can go on and on,
• 10:38
  but we're at 10 minutes. I like stuff like this.
• 10:41
  They show you this is the modern type car now and this is almost
• 10:45
  like the next Gen. NASCAR where the clip is bolted
• 10:49
  on. But this is this is the era
• 10:52
  we're in now and this is a really good look at the era.
• 10:55
  So you got the middle of the car, all carbon fiber and the
• 10:59
  rears bolted on in the front is just crush because the motors in
• 11:04
  the rear. Now let's go up these.
• 11:08
  We're going to go up these steps and we're going to be done.
• 11:09
  Hang on right there. There it is.
• 11:11
  There's my baby. You see that car up there?
• 11:14
  I just love that car. And the reason I like that car
• 11:17
  so much is that's the car. That's what I kind of grew up
• 11:20
  with. I was born in I was born in
• 11:23
  1963. Yeah, this is from 1970.
• 11:26
  Yeah. So.
• 11:27
