He went to a junkyard in Florida to take a look at some cars. But the one that got his attention was a fake Lamborghini Aventador SV. Even though he knows its background and the fact that it is actually just wearing a body kit, the expert in fixing cars, which seem to be lost causes, still wants to buy it.
The front end of the Lamborghini Avenatador looks as if someone or something bit and chewed a good part of it. There is also damage on the passenger side, but that is not that bad. The Aventador was the first Lamborghini road car to use a carbon-fiber monocoque, which is especially sensitive to front- or rear-end collisions.
The car is not a real Aventador SV, but an Aventador with an SV kit. He has been keeping his eyes on the 2015 Lamborghini for quite some time. The front bumper is not made from carbon fiber like that of the SV, but from fiberglass, included in a bodykit, which also brought a new rear bumper.
Other than that, it is a bone-stock Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4, powered by the 6.5-liter V12, which pumps out 691 horsepower (700 metric horsepower) and 509 pound-feet (690 Newton meters) of torque. Those make the Aventador run from 0 to 60 mph (0 to 97 kph) in just 2.8 seconds, cover the quarter mile in 10.6 seconds, and hit a top speed of 220 mph (354 kph).
Freddy "Tavarish" Hernandez wants to buy and build an Aventador like no one has ever seen before. First, he wants a car with a manual transmission instead of the seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission and two-wheel drive instead of the all-wheel drive.

It is a black-on-black supercar, with the cabin going from dark to darker and darkest. Black leather covers the seats and center console, featuring contrasting yellow stitching.
There is an airbag in the passenger seat, which was deployed in the impact, adding to the list of issues that need to be fixed.
A Lamborghini Aventador that has never been involved in a crash would normally go for anywhere between $250,000 to $300,000. But one with an aftermarket kit, damage, and a salvage title, should be less than $200,000. That is how much he could afford to pay for it.
It is not the SV Roadster that he has been dreaming about. Now, he dreams about sending the car back to the road.
Tamarish is also working on a Lexus LS400 sedan right now
Freddy "Tavarish" Hernandez is involved in several projects right now. He has recently started restoring a Lexus LS400 that he had bought over two years ago. The Lexus has one million miles on the clock and was purchased for one dollar. Yes, you read that right!
The 4.0-liter V8-powered sedan came with a surprise. A lizard ran from under the car when they lifted it up. They also discovered a hole in the floor of the 27-year-old car, which was caused by rust. Other than that and the usual wear and tear, everything seems to work perfectly on the Lexus.
Tavarish and his expert friends took the car on a drive and realized that it runs smoothly and it would be able to go cross-country anytime. But they won't take such chances before they work on it.
