John Temerian stumbled upon a one-of-a-kind Lamborghini SS 1967 while browsing eBay. After requesting more clear and detailed photos, he decided to visit the warehouse in NYC where the Lamborghini Miura S 1967 was located.

Although the sale price was not disclosed, the estimated value of the Lamborghini Miura is around $2.5 million.
