# Stuff You Should Know - Buried Ferraris Episode Summary

Josh and Chuck dive into one of the wildest automotive stories of the 1970s: two Ferraris that were literally buried, both making headlines within a year of each other. The episode kicks off with the bizarre true story of Sandra West, a wealthy socialite who insisted on being buried in her beloved 1964 Ferrari America inside a massive casket, and then shifts to an even stranger discovery when kids in South Central Los Angeles accidentally unearth a stolen Dino Ferrari that had been mysteriously entombed underground—only to reveal that the popular version of the story might not be exactly what happened. It's a tale of eccentric millionaires, detective work, and the lengths people will go to protect their prized possessions, told with plenty of humor from two guys who freely admit they're not car people at all.
