NASCAR is a type of American race series with stock-car style race cars. Here, they’re talking about those race cars driving very hard down rough roads.
Redline is the engine’s “maximum safe speed” measured by RPM. If you keep it there, the engine is working extremely hard and can be risky if it’s sustained.
Lose traction means the tires aren’t gripping the road anymore. When that happens, the car can slide or spin because the wheels can’t “bite” into the surface.
“Porsches” refers to vehicles made by Porsche, a German brand known for performance engineering and distinctive handling. In auction contexts, Porsche models often attract strong demand because of their enthusiast following and parts support.
“Active auctions” means listings currently in progress, where bids can still change the final sale price. For buyers, the timing matters because you’re competing in real time rather than shopping a fixed-price listing.
Bring a Trailer is an enthusiast-focused online auction platform where cars are sold to bidders in a timed auction format. It’s known for detailed listing descriptions and a community that often values condition, originality, and documentation.
The Testarossa is a supercar made by Ferrari. It’s well known for its distinctive look and for being a fast, special-occasion kind of car. The podcast is basically confirming the name because it’s so recognizable.
The Ferrari LaFerrari is a super rare Ferrari that uses both a gas engine and an electric motor. Because so few were made, people pay huge money for it at auctions.
The Ferrari 288 GTO is a very rare, very expensive Ferrari from the 1980s. It’s known for being a turbocharged, high-performance car that collectors chase, so when it shows up at auction it can sell for millions.
An auction site is where cars are sold through bidding. The final price depends on what buyers are willing to bid, which is why rare cars can jump to very high numbers.
Transmission fluid is the oil that keeps the car’s gearbox working smoothly. It helps prevent wear and, in many automatic cars, it also helps the transmission shift correctly.
A “Carpathian Edition” is a special version of a vehicle with extra features and styling. It’s more than just a paint color—it usually bundles extra equipment.
CCO means Chief Creative Officer. It’s a top job that oversees the company’s creative direction, like design and brand look. Here, they’re saying the person was the CCO at Land Rover.
This is a heavy-duty Ford pickup with a diesel engine (Powerstroke) and 4-wheel drive. The speaker also likes that it’s a manual transmission, and they’re pointing out it’s a very desirable, specific setup.
Toreador red metallic paint is a specific factory color name used on some Ford trucks. Mentioning the exact color matters to enthusiasts because it helps identify the correct trim/paint code and can affect how desirable the truck is.
That means the truck has a 7.3-liter diesel engine. The host is saying the mileage is low for that particular diesel, which makes the truck more appealing.
That “7.3 V8” is a big 7.3-liter engine with eight cylinders arranged in a V shape. It’s the kind of engine used in heavy-duty Ford trucks, and it’s built to pull and last.
International Harvester (IH) was a company that made heavy-duty equipment like tractors. Here they’re being credited with designing the diesel engine that later showed up in Ford trucks.
Mack Trucks is a company that makes heavy commercial trucks. The point here is that International Harvester was focused on that kind of truck work, not making cars.
That “6.0 liter” is a later, smaller-displacement diesel engine that came after the 7.3. They’re saying it wasn’t as good in their view, especially in how smooth it feels.
Ground clearance means how much space there is between the ground and the bottom of the truck. More clearance helps when roads are bumpy or uneven and reduces the chance of scraping.
The Jeep Wrangler is a type of SUV made for off-road driving. People like it for outdoor trips because it can handle dirt roads and rough ground. It’s the kind of vehicle you’d choose if you want to take a hobby like dirt biking to places regular cars can’t go.
A fifth wheel is a special hitch setup for towing a trailer. Instead of a ball on the bumper, the trailer connects to a plate in the truck bed, which helps the trailer tow more stably. That can make it less likely to swing in an unsafe way while turning or braking.
Weight distribution means how the trailer’s load is shared between the truck and the trailer. If the weight is balanced better, the truck and trailer feel more stable together. That usually makes turning and stopping less sketchy.
A jackknife is when the trailer swings around toward the truck like it’s folding in half. It’s dangerous because you can lose control. The right hitch and properly loaded trailer help prevent it.
A trailer brake is a brake system on the trailer, not just on the truck. When you brake, the trailer can slow down too, which helps everything stop more smoothly. That can make towing safer and easier on the truck.
Term
old body style
“Old body style” just means the earlier look of a vehicle model, before the newer redesign. People use it to tell which generation you’re dealing with. The newer one may look very different even if it’s the same general model line.
Term
ice cold AC
“AC” here refers to the vehicle’s air conditioning system, and “ice cold” is a casual way of saying it cools the cabin effectively. It’s mentioned as a practical comfort/feature point rather than a technical deep dive.
“OBS” means “Old Body Style.” It’s a nickname people use for an older generation of a truck—here, they’re talking about an older Ford F-250 look from the late 80s/90s.
A “crew cab” means the truck has four doors, so people can sit in the back seat too. It’s the more passenger-friendly cab style compared with a basic two-door setup.
In truck and body-on-frame designs, the frame is the main structural “skeleton” that carries the suspension, drivetrain, and body. Rust or damage to the frame is a major buying concern because it can affect safety and repair cost.
Surface rust is the early stage of rust—just on the outside of the metal. It can often be cleaned up and treated, but it’s still something you should check carefully so it doesn’t turn into deeper damage.
“Stock” means the wheels and tires are the same ones the car came with from the factory. If they’re still stock, it usually makes the vehicle simpler to judge and can help keep the car’s original look and behavior.
The 1988 Jeep Grand Wagoneer is a big older Jeep SUV that people remember for feeling more “luxury” than a typical truck. A big part of its look is the classic wood paneling inside and around the cabin.
The Jeep Grand Cherokee is a family-sized SUV that can be used for normal driving and also for tougher roads. The podcast mentions an older Jeep model from the late 1980s, which is why it’s part of the conversation. It’s often discussed because it’s a well-known Jeep SUV platform.
Wood paneling is the decorative trim inside (or on the cabin) that looks like wood. On some classic luxury SUVs, it’s part of the car’s signature style.
The Lincoln Town Car is a classic luxury car from Lincoln. The hosts are saying the door buttons feel similar to what you’d find on an older Town Car.
Car
AMC 360
“AMC 360” refers to a V8 engine made by AMC with a 360 cubic-inch size. People mention it because it tells you what kind of engine the car has and what kind of swap or repair options you might have.
Concept
starting pretty low
They mean the car’s price is starting low compared to what you’d expect. That usually happens when buyers think something about the car isn’t as valuable, even if other parts of it look good.
They’re talking about swapping in a big V8 engine from Chevrolet that’s about 6.0 liters. The idea is: if the frame is solid, you can put a different (often easier-to-find) engine in it and the project becomes much more feasible.
Car
Grand Wagoneer
The Grand Wagoneer is a big, older AMC SUV that people associate with a more upscale style. Here it’s mentioned because the hosts are comparing what they think one should cost.
The Jeep Wagoneer is a big, old-school SUV that people associate with comfort and “made it in life” status. The host is basically saying that if you’re driving one, you’re already living the good life—at least in their opinion.
Diesel is a type of engine that works differently than gasoline. People often talk about diesel for better fuel economy and the idea that it can last a long time if it’s maintained.
The Subaru 360 is a very small car designed to be efficient and easy to drive. The podcast mentions reliability concerns in the broader conversation, but the Subaru 360 itself is mainly known for being compact and economical. It’s the kind of car people bring up when talking about small, efficient vehicles.
“Power Stroke” is a name for Ford’s diesel engines. The host is saying that if you maintain them properly, they can be very durable and last a very long time.
This is a vintage 1960 Ford from the Country line. The speaker says it’s been customized a lot—painted in a fancy color style and updated with a modern-style V8—so it looks like a show car rather than a stock classic.
They’re complaining that the car has a newer stereo system instead of a period-correct one. Some people prefer the original-style interior even if a modern radio is easier to use.
A restomod is an older car that’s been restored, but also updated with newer parts. The goal is usually to keep the classic look while making it handle and stop better like a modern car.
Disc brakes are a braking system where pads squeeze a metal rotor to slow the car. They usually work better and stay consistent when you brake more than once.
Your drivetrain is the power path that takes engine power and delivers it to the wheels. When people talk about updating a classic car, they may upgrade parts of this system too.
Term
automator products incorporated
That phrase sounds like the company that made the gauges. If the gauges are from a different year than the rest of the car, it can suggest the car has been modified.
A kit car is a car you build from parts supplied as a kit, instead of buying a finished car from the factory. The hosts are debating whether that kind of build should be called a restomod.
The VIN number is like a car’s fingerprint used for registration and legal records. If a car is rebuilt or reconstructed, the VIN can affect what the paperwork says the car “is.”
In enthusiast usage, a restoration usually means returning a car to its original condition—often focusing on stock appearance and factory-correct components. It’s contrasted here with a restomod, where updates go beyond “as-delivered” specs.
Drum brakes are an older type of braking system where pads press against a drum. They’re common on older cars, and many people prefer disc brakes for stronger, more consistent stopping.
“Front discs” means the front wheels use disc brakes. Disc brakes usually stop more consistently and handle heat better than drum brakes, especially when you brake repeatedly.
“390 CI” is how big the engine is, measured in cubic inches. A 390 V8 is a big engine, usually chosen for strong pulling power and classic muscle-car vibes.
The A390 is a car that’s being described with classic wood paneling and a large V8 engine. The “390” refers to the engine size, and it’s meant to be a powerful, big-motor setup. The podcast is focusing on the look and the engine choice.
“FE block” is Ford’s name for a particular generation of big V8 engines. It’s basically the engine’s design family, and in this case it’s the larger “big-block” style.
The Renault Wind is a small car that’s designed for open-air driving. The podcast is using a phrase about being carefree, which matches the idea of driving with the top down. It’s generally the kind of car people choose for fun and simplicity.
“Black plates” are license plates that are styled or colored black instead of the standard look. People argue about them because they can change the car’s appearance.
William “Bill” Knudsen is credited here with designing the grille styling the hosts call the “Knudsen Nose Grill.” The segment also notes his career path through GM leadership at Pontiac and later becoming president of Ford, framing him as a key figure behind certain period styling cues.
The Ford Thunderbird is a classic Ford model that was popular as a stylish, personal luxury car. Here it’s being used as an example of a car from around 1970 with a recognizable front grille and lighting design.
The Mercury Cougar is a classic car from Ford’s Mercury brand. In this segment, it’s brought up because it had a similar bold front-end/grille style to other cars from around 1970.
The Ford Mustang is one of the most famous American cars ever, and it’s known for its sporty look. Here it’s mentioned because it shares a similar kind of front grille styling from that era.
The host is saying a Mercury model (the Marauder) might have had a similar front design. The point is that several cars from that era looked like they shared the same kind of grille/headlight style.
“Vacuum activated” means the car uses suction from the engine to move the headlight doors. Instead of a motor, the vacuum pressure pushes/pulls the parts when you turn the lights on.
Engine vacuum is the negative pressure created in the intake system (especially at idle and light throttle). Some cars route that vacuum to operate accessories like headlight doors, HVAC controls, or other actuators that need a force to move parts.
The Toyota Supra is a famous sports car. Here, they’re using it as an example of how the driver’s area inside the car can feel focused and easy to use.
It’s a special back door that can open in more than one way. Instead of only lifting up like a hatch, it can also drop down like a truck tailgate, which makes loading stuff easier.
A barn door is a back door that opens like two separate panels. It can make it easier to load things and get in and out compared with a hatch that lifts up.
A hatch is the back door that opens upward. It can be different from a split rear door because it changes how you access the trunk area.
Term
SST Sport
“SST Sport” is basically a name for a specific version of the car. It usually means that particular Hornet came with certain styling and equipment choices meant to feel more “sporty.”
The Dodge Hornet is a car model name that the podcast brings up while talking about Hornet-related vehicles. The conversation is focused on a specific classic Hornet from 1972, but the name “Hornet” is the common link. It’s basically part of the speaker’s interest in that model line.
“Gucci Edition” means the car was sold with Gucci branding and styling. It’s like a limited, themed version meant to feel more special than a regular model.
Aldo Gucci is mentioned as the person who designed the car’s interior style. The hosts describe it as a special “Gucci Edition” look with colored leather accents.
“Cherokee XJ” is a Jeep Cherokee generation (the XJ body style). The hosts are comparing the car’s shape to this Jeep to point out similar design cues.
It means the car’s mileage is thought to be the real mileage from when it was new. Sellers use it to show the car hasn’t had its odometer tampered with and that the wear matches the stated miles.
Term
paint, chips and issues
“Paint chips and issues” refers to visible cosmetic defects like stone chips, clear-coat peeling, or small surface damage. In used/collector cars, these details matter because they can indicate prior driving conditions and affect how much restoration work is needed.
Concept
rusted into the ground
They’re saying the car can rot badly over time. Rust can get so bad it damages the body and even the car’s structure.
The AMC Hornet is an older American compact car made by AMC. Here, the interesting part is the idea of dressing up a regular American car with a fancy, designer-style interior to make it feel more premium.
“Special edition cars” are limited or themed variants where the manufacturer (or a partner) changes styling, trim, and often interior materials to create a more distinctive package. The hosts are teeing up a discussion about how these editions are marketed and why buyers go for them even when the base car is something more mainstream.
Fiat 500 is a tiny Italian car. The “Gucci” part means it’s a special edition with Gucci-themed design inside and out, which makes it more of a collectible than a performance upgrade.
This is a very early Porsche 356, from before the later “356A” version. The “coupé” part just means the car has a fixed roof and usually two doors.
Term
bent window
A “bent window” means the glass is curved or shaped instead of flat. That kind of detail can be a recognizable styling feature on certain older cars.
Concept
all the papers, all the things
“All the papers” usually means the car comes with records and paperwork that prove its history. Collectors often care a lot because it helps confirm what the car is and what’s been done to it.
“Original color” means the paint color is the same as it was when the car was first made. If it’s not the original color, some collectors may value it less because it’s not as original.
Fog lamps are extra headlights that sit lower on the car. They help you see the road better in fog or bad weather by shining light closer to the ground.
“Red interior” just means the car’s cabin is upholstered in red. For older cars, the interior color can make the car more or less desirable to collectors.
“Restored” means the car was repaired and refurbished to look and work like it’s in much better shape. With older cars, the quality of the restoration can make a big difference in what it’s worth.
The Bentley Azure is a luxury car made for comfort and a high-end driving experience. The podcast talks about “Azure blue,” which sounds similar to the car’s name. The key point is that the Azure is a premium Bentley model.
A fuel gauge is the dashboard indicator that tells you how much gas is left. The point here is that some early cars didn’t have that, so people had to estimate another way.
Concept
hidden little thing
They’re talking about a small tool or accessory that’s tucked away in the car. It’s not something you’d notice immediately, but it’s there for a reason.
A fuel pump moves fuel from the tank to the engine. The host is saying this car still has its original early version of that pump, which is a good sign for originality and proper setup.
A hard line is a rigid fuel pipe, usually metal. Rubber lines are more flexible, but they’re also more likely to be replaced as they age or if there’s any seepage.
This is a Porsche 944 from 1988. It’s a classic Porsche sports car from the 1980s, and people like it because it handles really well and feels very “Porsche” to drive.
They’re talking about a wheel design that’s associated with Porsche and available through Porsche dealers. It’s meant to look right for the car, not just be any aftermarket wheel.
MOMO is a company that makes performance car parts and accessories. In this case, they’re mentioning a MOMO-branded item that’s part of the car’s interior/exterior look.
Fuel injectors are the parts that spray gas into the engine. If they’re worn out or clogged, the car can run badly, so replacing them can make the engine behave correctly again.
Pop-up headlights are headlamps that are hidden behind the car’s bodywork and then lift up when you turn the lights on. They were popular on certain sports cars because they let designers keep a cleaner, lower front profile when the lights are off.
The Chevrolet Corvette is a sports car designed for fast driving and good handling. Some versions have pop-up headlights, which helps identify certain model years. The podcast is basically trying to match that feature to the right Corvette generation.
Term
Gordon Viewing
They’re crediting a specific designer for the look and engineering behind the headlights. It’s a reminder that car styling features often come from named people, not just the brand.
Place
Dusenberg Arbor and Cord Museum
This is a car museum focused on famous early American brands like Duesenberg and Cord. The hosts are recommending it as a great place to see those cars in real life.
Disappearing headlights are headlights that slide or retract into the car when you’re not using them. They’re often used to make the car look sleeker and sometimes to help airflow.
Fender flares are the extra pieces around the wheel openings. They can make the car look wider and help cover tires, especially if the setup is wider than stock.
A facelift is when a car gets updated partway through its production run. It usually means changes to the look and sometimes the interior, but it’s still the same overall model.
“Rear glass” means the rear window. The speaker is saying that while most of the cabin doesn’t rattle, the rear window area might be where some noise or looseness shows up over time.
The dash is the dashboard—the part with the gauges and controls. The speaker is saying the dashboard has a couple problems, likely meaning it can rattle or show wear as the car gets older.
The Porsche 928 is a classic Porsche coupe that uses a V8 engine. Here, someone turned that V8 into a coffee table, which is a quirky way to display the engine.
An “engine coffee table” is when someone takes an engine and turns it into a decorative table. It’s a custom, mostly for looks, not something you’d normally do to a car.
A five-speed manual means you have to shift gears yourself using a clutch. It’s different from an automatic because the car doesn’t pick the gears for you.
This is a car show event centered on Italian cars, tied to the Petersen Automotive Museum. It’s a place where people go to see cool cars and talk about them.
Topic
launch show
They’re talking about a special preview event you can drive to or attend. It sounds like something you buy tickets for so you can get there with the right vibe.
That “R3350 Duplex-Cyclone” is a type of airplane engine. It’s a big, air-cooled engine with cylinders arranged in a circle around the crankshaft, and it uses a supercharger to help it make more power.
This describes an airplane engine design. The cylinders are arranged like a circle (radial), it doesn’t use liquid coolant (air-cooled), and a supercharger helps it make more power.
Term
350 cubic inches
Cubic inches is a way to measure engine size. Bigger displacement usually means the engine can move more air/fuel per cycle, which often helps with power.
The B-29 Superfortress was a famous WWII bomber aircraft. The hosts are saying the engine they’re talking about was used on that plane.
LIVE
Welcome to Best in Class, the podcast where we talk about the best versions of the best
cars.
Veronica's already nodding at me, so that means I've done something wrong.
No.
Andrew is here as well, fresh from an amazing event from the weekend, and here to tell us
all about it.
Yeah, you want to hear about it now?
Yeah.
We had a NASCAR San Diego weekend, and it was a NASCAR race on the Naval base at Coronado,
and it was pretty cool.
We had seats right after turn one.
Huge NASCAR guy?
Not really.
I'm not a huge NASCAR guy.
I got a buddy of mine that's much more into NASCAR, so I go to him.
I defer to him.
Wasn't there an F1 driver that ran into somebody who was ...
I wasn't aware of it.
I was rooting for Jimmy Johnson because I just ... I'm rooting for my childhood heroes,
and he was driving, and Jimmy Johnson actually grew up in San Diego.
He came out of retirement to race this, and he raced the truck series on Friday, and then
he was racing the cup series on Sunday.
Cool to see a childhood hero.
Is it loud?
I was surprised it out loud.
I mean, you'd think a NASCAR race is going to be loud, of course.
But compared to a concert, like a rock concert, it's at least 50 decibels more.
Yeah, because it's just like every time they come by, ear damage.
Ear damage.
Every time, but I love it.
You didn't have any protective gear.
Most people did, and that's something you think about.
You went on.
You went on.
I had just put the combustion right in my eardrum.
Wow.
Okay, okay.
Interesting.
Interesting.
Do you have a couple beers?
Yeah, a couple beers.
What do you do at a NASCAR?
Yeah, no, you gotta do it.
You gotta do it.
Any other cars that were there that were of significance?
No.
I mean, that's just all the stock cars.
Yeah.
I can't tell you the details about them either because I don't know enough.
But it was very cool because the track was very rough.
I went with a couple of my Navy buddies, so they knew everything, because they work on
base every day.
Okay.
And they're actually texting me today, and this is what, Tuesday after the race, and
they're just like, the whole base is a mess.
Yeah.
This is trash everywhere.
I bet.
And everybody's on cleanup duty.
But I don't know.
It was very cool because they were just like, no, they were driving into work.
The roads are very rough.
They're just driving into work normally.
So I got to see NASCARs going full throttle down these roads, and right after turn one,
they would get air.
And the engines would redline.
What is the tires would leave the ground, you know, lose traction?
It was amazing.
Very, very cool.
Wow.
Wow.
That's pretty rad.
Veronica, can you beat that?
Not at all.
No?
I went to a real mellow west side, good boy Bob, cars and coffee.
That looked very cool.
I saw the pictures on Instagram.
It was really cool.
A lot of good cars.
A lot of beautiful porches.
Love it.
Good.
Good job there.
Yeah, you had a crowd.
Think about it.
Okay.
All right.
There were old porches at a car and a coffee.
Oh, yeah.
It was surprising actually.
That's crazy.
In Los Angeles.
I've never heard of such a thing.
Whoa.
There were a few.
Yeah.
Maybe two or three.
Okay.
A couple S.L.s.
Okay.
Which were real hot.
Did you drive your people cruiser?
I did bring it.
Did you forget to turn the phone off?
Sorry.
I'm going to take a message.
I'm very popular.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Go ahead.
I don't know what to say.
Do what you need to do.
But it's hard.
You get that many messages when you're unemployed.
It's not the office.
I've got side deals.
Okay.
Okay.
All right.
Yeah, the cars and what was your question about the S.L.
I brought the Fiat, the Abarth.
Oh, okay.
And I did make sure to.
Oh, boy.
We got another deal.
She's seen drug deal it.
Do you have to ask?
I don't know.
Is it Abarth to some people?
Is it Abarth to other people?
Or is there one proper pronunciation?
I call it an Abarth.
Abarth, okay.
Yeah.
I think it's Abarth.
What is the correct...
You had one.
How did you refer to it?
Abarth.
I just drove it.
Yeah.
Yeah, you didn't call it anything.
I didn't really.
Yeah.
The smaller...
I wasn't getting alerts on my phone when I said it wrong.
Yeah.
Well, anyhow.
Okay.
So, people really didn't care much for my car.
No.
No.
Did they let you park in there?
I parked right in the front, actually.
I got there early and I said...
I'm doing it.
You've never seen something like this before.
What is your...
Do you always park backwards?
I did, but I'll be honest.
It probably took me about good five to seven, you know, back and forths to get it in.
Does it park...
It's a new car.
It's 2019, right?
2018?
2018.
2018.
Yeah.
Doesn't have a passenger side mirror that tilts down when you put it into reverse?
No, it does not.
It does not have that view.
No.
Yeah.
Yeah, you have to just rely on instinct.
Instinct.
And the small camera that you are given in the front.
Oh, it does have a camera.
Yeah.
Does it car play?
You know, it does not have car play.
That car is like two feet long, Joe.
It is two feet long.
I mean, if you were to park a machine...
You know what it is, Steve?
It's sometimes when all eyes are on me, like the song, I get a little nervous.
Yeah.
And I just want to throw it in there.
And then I get out of the car and I look and I go, wow, I've really parked a lot of
cars.
Do you lean out and you know and look back just to make sure it's straight?
How are you doing?
Just holding the camera?
Well, no, I'd say just like last week, you're preparing for your coontosh and you open up
the door and then you sit on the sill of the A-bar and then you back it down.
I should do that.
No more questions about my cheetah than anything else.
Well, you know, I've seen some reels on Instagram.
Yeah.
Just fellas driving around with cheetahs now.
Yeah.
And I'm like, wow, I love this type of content.
Yeah.
And since I've started working with you two on this, the best in class podcast algorithm
has gone all over the place.
It was pretty mundane before, but now it's all over the place.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Cool.
Well, that's what I got into.
What about you?
What did you get into?
I did not do any car related activities.
Oh, wow.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Play little tennis.
Okay.
Enjoy the beach.
Yeah.
The swell.
The swell is just unreal.
I don't surf, but it's just annoying.
Yeah.
So all the beaches are destroyed.
Okay.
High tide.
High tide.
Well, I learned that tide is different than swell.
Oh, I see.
Can you explain that?
Well, tide is to do with the moon.
The moon.
That's right.
And then the swell is like the power of the ocean.
I think I'm probably going to say it wrong, but they're separate things.
Because I was like, is it high tide all week?
And they're like, no, you're an idiot.
That's called the swell.
Oh.
Because like when the swell is high, that means the waves are bigger.
Yeah.
And people want to go surfing.
Right.
Does that tell us that El Niño is coming later this year?
In theory, suppose we're going to have a very wet summer.
There you go.
Oh, that's not what I want to hear.
I was unsure of how to say it to you.
Yeah, I don't like that at all.
No, no.
Well, I will say you did get some color.
I did.
I did.
I played a little tennis outside.
And the people I played with took it a little more serious than I did.
And we're really into it.
And so it turned out to be a few hours of just way beyond my athletic.
Like a whole set.
We did a lot of tennis.
Wow.
So it was on.
Okay.
Which is longer, a center of match?
Match.
Match is the longer.
Yeah, game set match.
We're getting through a lot.
Wow.
We're getting through a lot.
Veronica, do you want to take us through this episode?
Yeah, let's get it.
Yeah.
This week, we are doing a bring a trailer best deal breakdown.
I gave you guys three categories, four by fours, wagons and Porsches.
Oh, shit.
Porsches.
You're doing great.
The best deals for the dollar.
So these are all currently active auctions.
So there are listeners can get your expert advice and your POV to help make them a decision
if they decide that they might be in the market.
And I think it'll be fun.
We'll do four by fours first.
And I think Steve, you should take us away with your choice.
Oh, okay.
Do you want to talk about how bring a trailer works at all?
Oh, sure.
Would you like me to do that?
I thought that that was going to be you saying.
And have you ever bought anything on bring a trailer?
I've never.
I've never.
I look at it almost every day.
Oh, okay.
Yeah, that one does.
Okay.
There's a couple of things.
Number one, do you guys want to guess the most expensive car up until today?
Well, sold on bring a trailer?
Ever in history?
Yeah.
Oh, gosh.
All right.
Just picked just, yeah.
What is it?
It's like $7 million.
Oh, I know.
But what was it?
Don't just give me a number.
Oh, no.
I don't know.
I can't buy it.
I don't know.
Just pick a car.
Good.
Testarosa, two words?
What?
It's like the two word testarosa from the 50s.
The early one.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Okay.
I mean, I guess I'll go Lamborghini.
Okay.
Okay.
All right.
I didn't want to get you guys upset.
I made three for it.
Yeah.
Yeah.
A Ferrari, LaFerrari.
Oh.
Sold for four and a half million dollars.
Wow.
That's a lot.
Can I just ask, is that not redundant?
It is.
Okay.
Yeah.
It's perfect.
It's just strange.
They would choose to call it that.
That's like when you have an amazing entertainer in their one name.
Ooh.
When you become super powerful, you say a name twice.
Yeah.
Like carrot top.
Yeah.
Prince.
Well, that's two.
Oh, okay.
Sorry.
Well, all right.
Close enough.
But you got the idea.
Yeah, I got you.
However, in celebration of their 250,000th listing, they have a 288 GTO.
That has already surpassed the $4 million.
You're talking about a Ferrari.
288 GTO.
Just making sure.
The GTO that you want would never, yeah.
Yeah.
Because that was really quite surprising when you said that to me.
So just since you guys are numbers people, what would you say they made in sales in 2025?
This is just a blog.
Bring a trailer.
Blog.
It's an auction site, of course.
Well, can you tell us what their fee is?
Do they make fee?
Just take a number.
Let's, don't overthink it.
Okay.
Andrew, you're going to guess first.
And don't research it.
So hold your roll.
Overall.
Just, yeah, how much money did they make last year?
You're reading.
Probably like 2 million.
I'm actually looking at just a blank piece of white on my screen.
Yeah.
2 million profit?
2 million dollars.
Yeah.
We know they're selling cars for 4.5 million dollars.
Well, that's something like overall profit for bringing a trailer themselves.
Okay.
Any other guesses?
Oh God, I don't know.
No, this is in sales.
Oh, this is in sales.
Okay.
I'm passing on this, on this guess because I know the bring a trailer is not just
United States.
They also have their Europe division.
Just pick a number.
I'm going to say 20 million.
Okay.
What's your number?
I don't know.
70.
God, you guys are fun.
70 million.
1.7 billion dollars.
Wow.
How about that?
Yeah.
Wow.
I'm going to quit and go get a trailer.
Like we need to go get on the website or something like that.
Do we all start off?
We're just these dad jokes.
Just keep them coming.
Okay.
So interesting.
So very lucrative thing that started as a blog.
I think they said 20 years ago.
Wow.
Do you guys remember when it was a blog?
Yeah.
It used to be my web homepage.
So when I'd open up Safari, it would be the first thing that opens up because there'd
always be something cool.
There's always had interesting things on there.
And there still is.
So there you go.
A little bit of history for you.
That's great.
Thank you.
All right.
So on bring a trailer the way it works.
Yes, please.
It's curious.
Yeah.
Buyer's fee.
What's interesting is for these multi-million dollar cars, they cap the fee at 7,500 bucks.
That's nice.
Good for sale.
Yeah.
Also, Bat, that's what we're going to call it.
Yeah.
Doesn't handle any of your money, the actual vehicle.
Clever.
Yes.
So they literally just connect you guys together and it's like figured out.
Right.
Matchmaking.
Yeah.
You know about the two minute rule?
So you can't get sniped at the very end.
It always resets, right?
So that was a big thing for them when they were writing software in the beginning.
They were like, we've got to make this fair somehow because people were just jumping at
the end.
So you can do it at the end.
It doesn't really matter.
But now they have, like in the beginning they didn't have any of that or they might have
but they have like white glove service.
So now you can like finance it through them, ship it through them.
They'll take pictures of it for you, send it to you, everything.
So it's quite a wild thing.
All right.
So we are starting with...
Ooh, can you talk about the reserve real quick?
Sure.
Yeah.
Sure.
So you can be taught.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I bet.
I want you to school me.
So when you put a reserve on the car, that prohibits you from losing money on it essentially.
So you're like, hey, if it doesn't get above 50 grand, I'm not doing it.
But there's a whole section I'm bringing to the trailer called No Reserve.
The 308, the one I just got was No Reserve.
So there's like a psychological thing that people think when it hits the reserve, if
I'm paying over the reserve, I pay too much.
Oh, they pay too much.
Excuse me.
So the school of thought is don't put a reserve on it.
Just let it go to whatever.
But there have been some instances where people have gone on No Reserve, nobody wanted the
car and then someone's bought it for very rarely, but a small amount of money.
So if you don't sell your car because it doesn't meet reserve, that will put you with the highest
bidder and make a cash off line so you can sell it.
And then there's premium, right?
Premium means you get, it's like a two week long listing.
Usually they're a week.
Sometimes they try and not do it over holidays.
Usually it's like a Monday to a Monday or something so it doesn't end on like a weekend
or something like that.
So my car doesn't have to be priced at a certain number for it to be premium because I hear
the word premium and I think expensive.
Usually if you're going to spend a two week auction, they want a certain caliber of car.
Okay.
Okay.
Yeah.
All right.
Probably not the Abarth.
Not the Abarth.
Okay.
Or the Scout, but yeah.
Rude.
Okay.
Got it.
There you go.
Okay, great.
Well, Steve, what did you choose as your four by four?
So I know people come to this pod for expert advice.
Yes.
Obviously they're skipping Sotheby's, they're skipping, you know.
Gooding Christie's.
RM, all of it.
Yeah.
What is Veronica saying about cars?
Oh yeah, they want to know.
So I didn't pretend to know what I was doing.
Just kind of went through stuff and thought, you know what?
This would be a great car to pick.
Staying loyal to my garage because that's important when you're giving advice.
I picked a Land Rover 110.
Now a lot of you thinking these are hard to work on.
You can't get parts, can't get transmission fluid.
I'm thinking that.
Yeah, you're thinking that right now.
However, this one only has 9,000 miles on it.
So you're miles away from in service.
Yep.
So it still works.
And it's the Carpathian Edition.
Carpathian, I had to look up.
I assumed that it had to do with the color and thankfully I was correct.
Sort of.
That's part of it.
Oh.
Yeah, so it's not just the color.
It's got a lot of extra bits on it.
So it's kind of like the James Bond Edition.
Is that what you're calling it?
Essentially.
Essentially.
So it's just got all the bells and whistles.
2024, by the way.
It's like the peak spec of it.
There was a James Bond Special Edition when the Defender first came out.
And what year was that?
Was it Spectre or something?
Yeah.
It was a while ago.
When the Defenders first came out and no one had seen them, the Carpathian is like
the peak Defender before that Octa came out.
But.
Okay.
So I think a lot of people don't know that and they just see like a matte gray Defender.
And I think you get this for a good deal.
I think it's beautiful.
I will say the one thing that was really unfortunate is that the photographs that are listed here
are partly grayed and partly really, really bad.
Yeah.
And you're going to get a good deal on it.
Yeah.
Okay.
All right.
All right.
So tell me about the differences because there's a four cylinder that you can get in
the Defender.
There's a six cylinder you can get and the Carpathian Edition has a V8 just like the James
Bond one, right?
Yes.
So that's the big motor.
Yes.
And it's a Super George V8.
All the, oh, also if you look at the comments on it and you look at the photos, there's
a bunch of slobber on the seats.
Yeah.
I don't see that.
Yeah.
I'm going to help you.
And the owner writes in to say, hey, sorry, the dog is very small.
Don't worry about it.
Do you also get the dog?
No.
But what I thought was interesting of like when you talk about slobber, it's like how
the dog's small.
Right.
As if.
The slobber is small?
Yeah.
What's the difference?
As if the dog was giant, you'd be a god of ass.
Right.
Right.
Right.
Yeah.
So the slobber was a little worthy conversation because you and I both had dogs and our abarths.
Yeah.
It, I just finished getting slobber completely removed from my seats and we're talking five
years after the passing of my dog.
Yeah.
Steve fit in the abarth?
Yeah.
That's impressive.
Yeah.
Wow.
Well, the problem was is that he could sit in the back and reach the windshield so he
could put his face all the way through.
Yeah.
And so when he would breathe, it would fog up the windshield.
And then it would just get just humid in there.
And it was just like.
A sauna.
A sauna.
Oh, his dog breath.
It was like having like King Kong breathing.
It's like a hot air dryer.
Oh, gross.
And it was just, it was just a lot.
And there was slobber.
Yeah.
And he could poke his head out the driver's side window from the back.
So if you saw something, he would go around in front of your face to go out.
Oh, in front of, not behind the steering wheel.
They're vib blocking.
Yeah.
100% of your full-length issues.
Yeah.
But it did a good job till he got to about 140 or so.
Okay.
And then it was time.
By the way, for those of you that are new listeners, Steve is a great day.
Everybody knows.
Well, maybe someone's new and they don't know who Steve is, you know?
So the question was though, did you ever get the slobber off the seats?
No.
Yeah.
No.
Might be.
You have leather?
Yes.
Oh, that's easier.
Myler's cloth.
No chance.
Yeah.
Yikes.
It just looked like art.
Yeah.
Okay.
Yeah.
Free art.
Mm-hmm.
What else can I tell you about?
So I just think it's a great deal.
Bad photos, dog slobber.
Mm-hmm.
So.
Do you know who designed this Land Rover?
The same guy that designed, he just retired.
The CCO of Land Rover?
Yeah, he's no longer there.
Jerry McGovern?
Yeah, I met him.
Did you?
Yeah.
I worked on the launch of the Velar.
Oh, cool.
Mm-hmm.
So he's a little guy.
Is that right?
Yeah.
Yeah, very petite.
Would he appreciate that comment?
I think he must be aware of it.
Okay.
Yeah.
All right.
It bothered him.
Yeah.
Well, it's why he had to make such a massive vehicle.
Right.
Mm-hmm.
No, he was there for a very long time.
And yeah.
So I think them one's going to get a deal on this carpathian because of the bad photos
and dog slobber.
And the one-times a great car.
Well, let's tell the folks.
I'm going to do this for every car because I wrote these notes down.
I hope you're okay with this.
Oh, please.
We really have no choice.
Yeah.
New, this car was around 115 to 120k.
Used it should be about 85 to 95k.
It's currently sitting at 65 and it ends tomorrow.
So that gives you a bit of an idea.
What did the both of you think it's going to close at?
It's not going to go much higher than this.
You don't think?
Although 80.
I'm going to go 75.
Okay.
Yeah.
Okay.
I'm going to write that down.
Maybe we'll repost and see where it really ends up.
That'd be great.
That'd be great.
75 to 80, you're saying.
It's in your journal.
Yeah, it's in my journal.
And yeah, it closes tomorrow.
Andrew, what would you pick?
So I chose my actual dream truck.
I think this is the greatest truck ever made.
It doesn't get better than this, period.
So your good advice is based on your dreams?
I think my dreams are great.
Okay.
And everybody should think their dreams are great.
Okay.
Follow your dreams.
And you know what my dream is?
A 1997 Ford F-250 HD XLT SuperCab Powerstroke 4x4 5-speed manual.
That's a very specific dream.
Yeah.
And I got to say, have you guys ever seen True Detective?
Yes.
Season one of Treat Yourself.
Yes, of course.
This is the only season we're watching.
This is Matthew McConaughey's truck.
Oh, is that right?
The actual one?
Well, not the actual one.
A much better spec.
Because you could have bought the show truck years back.
But okay, so let me tell you why I chose this.
I think this is the most perfect truck design ever to grace a human's eyes.
It's so proportionally perfect.
The color matches the chrome perfectly.
Tell them what that color is.
I got to scroll up here.
Toreador red metallic paint.
Oh.
And I mean, gosh, it only has 113,000 miles and for a 7.3 Powerstroke, that's absolutely
nothing.
Well, yeah.
Yeah.
The 7.3 V8 was engineered by International Harvester, not Ford.
Is that right?
Yeah.
Well, that's, I know a little bit about the IH.
Yeah.
By the 90s, International Harvester, well, they weren't making cars in the 90s.
I know that.
I wonder why.
Well, because they tell, well, you know, it's a low blow, Andrew, and it's the first
time we've gotten into an argument, but it, you know, they were continuing to make the
Mack trucks.
The best V8 diesel truck engine ever made is what they continue to make too.
Wow.
Great.
The 7.3 Powerstroke was much better than the 6.0 liter that followed it, although a little
less smooth.
And I, you know, the ground clearance in this truck, currently it's at $7,500 and it ends
in four days.
And I'm just like, look at modern truck values.
What would an equivalent F-250 brand new today cost?
And this is going to go for, I'd say 20 grand.
20 grand for this.
Yeah, 20 grand.
I hope.
That's a lot of miles.
Minimum.
I mean, new, they were MSRP'd between, you know, 21 before the bells and whistles, so
28 to 20 to 30 and used, depending on the miles of course, between 30 to 38.
So I guess if it goes for 20, it's pretty good.
I hope it gets 30.
I have a question that I have for a 40 or 50.
What are you doing in this thing?
Oh, this would, I would just do everything.
I'd take it to Costco.
I'd take it to.
Oh.
I'd take it to camping trips.
I'd take it out shooting in the desert.
You know, I'd haul around my dirt bike with it.
Would you swap your Wrangler for this?
In a heartbeat.
Oh, wow.
I've got a question because, you know, with this you can get a trailer and put another
Wrangler on the trailer behind it, you know.
Yeah, I see that.
I see there's a, there's a, what's it called a latch, a hook, a ball chain.
What is that thing called?
Oh, the bed hitch.
Yeah.
For a fifth wheel.
For the fifth wheel.
Oh, it's a big wheel.
For the fifth wheel down in there, you get better weight distribution.
It's, you know, you can't jackknife the trailer, stuff like that.
And I mean, gosh, it's got such a perfect rugged liner that goes above it.
It's got a trailer brake already installed.
I mean, I'm getting excited just looking at this.
Yeah, we need to calm you down.
Deeply, deeply envious of whoever's going to buy this because it's just the perfect
truck.
Now I was doing a little research on this.
What does the old boy style mean?
So it's actually old body style.
Oh.
Yeah, old boy style.
I think I'm going to start using that.
That's actually awesome.
It's an old boy style.
Yeah.
I drive an old boy style for it, you know?
So because you think, you know, the generation after this, it looked kind of like a jelly
bean.
Right.
That's right.
More rounded and stuff.
So old body style.
This was the last of the true Ford trucks before they went all soft on us.
And you lost the visibility once it got to that kind of more rounded.
This one has a lot more visibility with the windows in the back and whatnot.
Yeah.
I think, gosh, aesthetically, such a downgrade in the next generation.
Yeah.
I mean, this is really, I think this belongs in like LACMA.
Oh, no.
You know what I mean?
A whole exhibit dead.
I think you've been to LACMA recently.
I feel like you went to a different wing.
Yeah.
I feel like maybe.
I think you got to go back.
Okay.
Let me ask you guys this.
You guys remember when these were new?
No.
Maybe.
I wasn't alive yet.
That's true.
So what were they like when they were new?
Stop reminding us.
Yeah.
What were they like new?
It looked just like this.
We don't know because I think we both lived in LA.
Yeah.
It wasn't any of these.
We didn't see a lot of these.
This car has lived its life in Oregon and Nebraska to give you an idea.
Very.
I got to mention the bank's power gauges on the A-pillar.
Very cleanly installed and it's like exhaust temperature and other things.
So you keep an eye on all the.
All the good stuff.
All the metrics.
Yeah.
Okay.
It's just perfect for towing.
Until anything I want to each coast back and forth, back and forth and it would just
do it.
Maybe you would tow your plane.
Can we get you to bid on this car?
Yeah.
Can I get $40,000 from somebody so I can just outbid everybody?
You think it's $40,000?
I paid $40,000 for this and it's still a better value than a modern truck.
You get ice cold AC.
You get great electronic reliability.
I mean, this is the perfect, as I said in the last podcast with nice electronics.
Do you wish you were an adult in the 90s?
Just so I could buy the F-250.
I think it's a great truck.
Yeah.
Well, it's only $7,500.
I might have to do it.
You know?
I mean, I think you should put in a bed.
Does anybody want to buy my Jeep?
Are you an F-250 kind of guy?
I mean.
Not really.
No, but it's growing on you?
No, no, no.
I just, the OBS, I'll tell you, I had a buddy when I was really young.
We were in the Boy Scouts together and his dad had an OBS F-250 crew cab long bed.
Do I know what OBS means?
I have no idea.
This body style.
This body style.
Okay.
So it looks like.
All body style.
All boy style.
All boy style.
It's great.
All boy style.
I'm telling you, whoever came up with that, they'd be like, that's better.
Yeah.
Yeah.
But we had all these great trips up to like June Lake and Bishop and all these places
all over California.
Okay.
And I was in the back of this OBS.
Yeah.
And it was as comfortable as a Rolls Royce to me as a kid.
Yeah.
Who had never clearly been in a Rolls Royce.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
No, no, no.
I was gonna say.
I can't.
Yeah.
Wow.
I love it.
My final note is compared to a modern truck that provides the same amount of utility and
a much, much, much lower capacity for style, this is a great deal.
It does have a lower capacity for style than mine.
It sure does.
Yeah.
I'm saying a modern truck has a lower capacity for style than this.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
Well, we misunderstood.
Yeah.
But agreed.
But go ahead.
Finally.
Let's.
So this ends in four days.
Think about it.
Think about it.
Yeah.
Okay.
Well, we're gonna root for you.
I hope to see you.
I'll root for this guy.
$40,000.
I mean, that's over asking though.
It is over asking.
So I'm gonna say $29,000 at the door.
Okay.
Yeah.
All right.
That's a safe guesstimation.
It's a big jump.
We got you to come down.
Yeah.
What's your guess gonna be on it?
I don't even know what this thing is.
I mean, I don't know.
I wouldn't even go to $7,500.
Yeah.
Like that's my problem.
I gotta say, I gotta say for the, for where this car was, the frame is just perfect too.
It's got a little bit of surface rust, but yeah, nothing serious.
I mean, what else would you want in a truck?
Gosh, so many things.
But you know what?
Are those stock wheels and tires that's what came on that thing?
I believe so.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Okay.
Looks small.
Cool.
Well, it's because they cared about road, you know, road, right, or right quality.
Okay.
Over the road.
Okay.
Got it.
Nice.
It also looks, there's a lot of truck.
All right.
I chose, where is my truck?
Oh no.
Oh, here it is.
I chose a 1988 Jeep Grand Wagoneer, which I feel like Andrew, you are a fan of.
Oh, great, great big fan of those.
Yeah.
This one is a white version.
This could go into my collection.
This could go into your collection.
Oh no.
Wait, what?
Oh no, what happened?
What's the problem?
This is what you wanted.
Where's the wood paneling?
Oh yeah, there's no, this one is just a clean, beauty girl.
Okay.
Yeah, this is a gorgeous, gorgeous Wagoneer.
It's white for door, obviously.
It's got the roof rack, looks very clean.
The interior is really quite beautiful.
It's a tan interior.
I don't know, did I read this?
This leather or is this?
That dash is so bad.
Right?
Wait, meaning bad good, right?
No.
When you say bad?
No.
Is that because it's the?
It's a Chrysler or whatever it is.
AMC actually.
AMC, the American Motor...
It just looks terrible.
Anyway, go ahead, keep going.
It's from the 80s.
It's a vibe, okay?
Where are you going to be vibing in this thing?
Well, this has been in New Mexico for many moons.
I know, but just take me, he took me through his day.
Where am I going to take you?
Yeah, no, we're, we're taking, like, where are you driving this thing?
Oh, well, you know me, we stay on the west side.
So we're going to go, we'll definitely bring this thing.
You're going to the farmer's market in this thing?
Oh yeah, we'll go in the air one and this thing.
We'll go up and down Abikini.
You going to dinner in this thing?
No, no, no, no.
Remember that's the, that's the Lambo that I'm going to, I'm going to trailer it to dinner.
That's right.
But this is a beautiful car.
You could trailer your white Lambo with this thing.
Oh, you mean in the back?
Oh, you guys, that's a great idea.
Well, you was the Lambo.
I thought it was an 88 Lambo too.
Was it, was it an 88?
Oh, fantastic.
I do have to say, real quick, this wagon here has the wrong grill on it.
This grill is wrong, like an 83 or an 84 wagon here and then it's supposed to have a different
I didn't want to tell her.
I noticed that right.
Yeah, yeah.
I just got to say, I was so excited about it.
I was like, oh my God, who brings it up?
Did anybody say it in the comments?
Here's the thing, I didn't read the comments.
I just went straight to, I just went straight to the design.
What I really love about this, if I may, is I love the seats.
I think the back seat is really nice.
I love the way that it's designed with the cushion for the low headrest.
It's like a leather and a fabric design, designed by by the way.
And this is actually quite exciting.
I think you're going to be into this, Steve.
Jenniferina.
No, it's not.
Brooke Stevens, who also designed the Oscar Meyer Wiener Mobile.
Whoa, American hero.
I can see, I can see the relation.
I could see someone going from this to a Wiener Mobile.
Wiener Mobile.
Because he lost his job.
Oh God.
And also the Miller beer logo, which is kind of cool.
Are you showing us a photo?
This is me as a four year old in the window seat.
Oh, we're going to need to post that.
Yeah, how about that?
Yeah, yeah, I love Wagon ears.
Yeah, I know you do.
I was driven home from the hospital in one.
I remember.
Okay.
Maybe I'll go and find you at Seaters in this one.
There you go.
The shape was also designed in 62 and ran almost completely unchanged for 29 years.
It's the longest continuous production run of a single automotive body style in the US.
Just a little design provenance.
What makes you think this is going to be a good deal though?
Well here's the thing.
I leave it up to Andrew to fight back on the mechanics of this.
Can I also just say on the front door, all the buttons, like you've got your unlock,
your lock, your left, your right front, you can lock the front doors, the back doors.
They feel amazing when you toggle them.
Just like an old Lincoln Town car from the 80s.
You know, same thing, same electronics, probably the same factory.
The attention to detail, guys, the attention to detail.
I don't know how I call it detail, but it is detail.
I think that this Wagon ear is missing its wood paneling.
On the exterior.
Yeah, what is it?
I don't think they're going to want a white one.
Where'd it go?
What do you think it's going for?
Well, wait, but hold on, I'm curious though, from a mechanical standpoint, did you have
a chance to look at this?
Do you have any feedback on it?
Did I?
No, it's an AMC 360, so we're already starting pretty low.
But the frame looks great.
OK.
The frame looks great, and you can always put a six-liter Chevrolet V8 in it and it'd
be all good.
OK.
All right, well, here.
Looks like you've got a starting candidate.
It is closing tomorrow, but before I tell you what it's currently at, new, they were
around 24K, used between 30 to 38.
It's currently at $6,500.
Wait, what was the low end of the range?
Oh, excuse me, 30.
That was a low end of a Grand Wag in your range?
Yes.
Oh, yeah, I get these things for like five grand all day long on Craigslist.
Really, yeah.
Well, this is a special one.
This is a special one.
This is your favorite.
This is my favorite one.
So what do you think it's going to go for then?
You got a whole day left.
I'm going to say it's going to go for 12.5.
That's very reasonable.
Yeah.
What do you think?
Again, I can't see going over what it's at now, but I'm sure somebody out there.
OK.
I'm probably like, I don't know.
I'm going to go over what you said, 14.
All right.
Put me down for 10.5.
10.5.
OK.
And then what's your name again?
Andrew.
That's it.
And then 14, you say, Steve?
Yeah.
OK.
All right.
All right, moving on.
So who wins cars of coffee out of three of us?
Oh, yeah, good question.
Me.
Me?
Because, well, you're missing the wood panel.
Yeah.
People would be like, and then it also is the wrong front grill.
It has the long front grill on it.
You guys, here's the thing.
It's not about, OK, again, we've discussed this.
It's not about the size.
It's about how you use it.
No, I actually think you would win.
Thank you.
Yeah, because if I rolled up to a car as a coffee in my truck, they'd be like, this
guy's going to go get some sod or something from the Home Depot on the other side of the
parking lot.
Right.
Right.
Do you think an F-250 has ever gone cars of coffee?
If I had this F-250, I would create a whole placard.
As if I had a 57 Chevy.
A boomer board.
A boomer board.
And I would set up my lawn chair.
I would just be like, you guys got to see this.
Yeah.
Five-speed manual.
Yeah.
Correador red.
I think you need one of these.
It is the greatest truck ever made.
I mean.
OK, here's the question.
Because you love a Wagoneer, even though this doesn't have the wood paneling between
the Wagoneer and the pickup, which of these two would you go for?
The pickup.
The pickup.
Yeah.
The pickup, to me, is an image of perfection.
Right?
I just think, you're driving a Wagoneer, you've made it in life.
You're paying eight dollars, or it's getting eight miles per gallon, so you're paying crazy
amounts of gas, and you just have to be a wasteful person.
The diesel.
Diesel's diesel.
Yeah.
Good efficiency.
And I just, these AMC 360s don't have the greatest reputation for reliability that
I know of.
And those power strokes, you get them right, they'll treat you well for a million miles.
Nobody's ever said that about me.
I don't think I would win cars and coffee, because you guys weren't even talking about
my car, but that's OK.
I'm not going to take it firstly, but the.
It's too new.
I can't get behind it.
I think a V8 Defender is cool.
I would win the Country Club, because it's a Carpathian.
Yeah.
Why do they choose such a color for such a special edition?
Because it's like a Baddies car.
It's a Villain car.
I see Jamie's Bondi.
And have you driven any of the Defenders?
I did.
How different is it from the other engines?
I mean, compared to my four, it's a big difference.
Like you just put your foot down the whole SUV.
It's just, yeah, it's certainly not trying as hard as mine.
OK.
You don't want to try as hard.
You're pretty low key.
I am.
I am.
I feel like that's important.
Yeah.
I feel like it's important.
Was the V8 only in special editions, or you could get it in any trim?
You can still get it in Naray talk.
OK.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Very cool.
OK.
All right.
Let's move on to wagons, shall we?
OK.
Am I back first again?
Yeah.
Yeah, you are.
Again, don't know much about wagons, but I saw this thing and I was like, wow, this
is pretty cool.
I don't understand people's fetish for wagons.
I know they like to talk about it, and then it's got to be in brown, and then you got
to have a blog.
It'll be manual.
A journalist.
Is that truly it has to be brown?
No, but it's just like the blogger's choice.
The brown manual wagon.
It's like the 308 GT4, right?
Get the right 308.
You don't get the one with four seats.
The one that I chose, you mean?
It's like the blogger's choice.
I think it's because I have friends.
I got some feedback on that.
A lot of people disagree, and I was just like, of course they are.
They're listening to a podcast.
Oh, true, true.
I was just like, wow.
Disagree, sorry.
The Dino fans really came out of the woodwork.
Yeah.
They really did.
Yeah, they really know it's a great car.
Yeah, it is a great car.
So wait, are you saying I chose wisely?
Is that what I'm saying?
No.
You were in the woods.
I don't know enough about this.
I really like Steve's 308, but I haven't even been in a Dino.
That's the thing.
Yeah, not yet.
Okay.
Well, go on about the wagons.
By the way, just to say, people usually had wagons because they had families, Steve.
Don't you think me, you guys grew up with wagons?
I don't have a family.
Okay.
But what about when you were a kid?
No wagons?
I grew up with a wagon.
We had a Chrysler-Liberian country.
Oh, we did.
And yeah, tons of wood battling.
Just another absolute work of art.
We'd kill the whole forage.
I mean, and you could spin that wheel and it would just gently turn.
What is that?
That's Leigh-Eye Coke was finest right there.
Oh my gosh.
Oh my gosh.
It was, oh, it was, my brother and I would sit in the back, which we called the cage.
No seat belts.
Yeah, those were the dates.
Roll around.
And yeah, it was, was machined.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
However, this is a 1960 Ford Country sedan that obviously has been heavily modified.
They painted it in like Jaguar and Porsche colors and retro V8.
And all the things you want, but it looks so slick.
I don't know how to describe these wheels, but they look like little radar dishes or
something, but they look amazing.
Yeah, they kind of look like buttons in a way.
Yeah, like eyeballs.
Yeah.
Yeah, it looks like how a car would be for a Pixar movie.
Oh, yeah.
And it's just black with cream top.
And I think, I think it's going to go, I don't know about a deal, but what I will say is,
this is, you're not going to see a lot of these.
You're not going to see any of these.
I mean, these are very rare.
I think, yeah, I think we're approaching one of a kind money.
And I think whatever you pay for it will be a deal.
That's going to be my defense.
You got the whitemanship here.
I mean, it's just amazing.
I totally put Steve in this and it would be amazing.
And Steve would look amazing in it because he is black and white and then this car is
black and white and he's got so much space in the back.
The only thing that bums me out is they put a modern radio in it.
And why would you do that?
When a radio doesn't work and you want some tunes, that's what you do.
You don't worry, but you got to mention where it's mounted.
I know it's hidden in the glove box.
Beautiful.
Which is, which is, I love it.
I get it, but if you're going to go through all that trouble, just get a vintage one.
You can put blue tooth in it.
Yeah.
Like what are you, what are you doing?
Well, you have a hidden secret in your Ferrari.
Yeah.
With a pioneer.
Yeah.
That's just very, very cool.
I'm going to be on eBay searching to waste a lot of time on eBay.
Well, the story that I loved about this choice for you, Steve, was that it was found in a
field and that it was rusted out, but it was all there and they then took it down to the
studs and then did the whole restoration, which I thought was pretty cool.
It's been on a journey.
Yeah.
It's been on a journey.
There's some pretty awesome photos on the listing.
It's got great photos.
It's just going to help your cars and coffee.
Mm-hmm.
Mm-hmm.
Mm-hmm.
Yep.
I mean, they just did endless work to this.
The chrome, I mean, yeah.
I don't know what I would do.
I mean, I would take the dog in it and fill it with slobber.
Yeah.
And I don't know if it's going to be a good deal, but I'm going to say it is.
Yeah, it's a beautiful.
I'm going to say it's worth it.
Anything under 50, I think, is a great deal for this.
But I have a question.
The workmanship.
What is the true definition of restomod?
Because this, is this a restomod?
As is, I think this is a full restoration.
Yeah.
This is a restoration, but there are modifications.
But what does restomod mean?
Does that mean that there's, is that the engine and then the drivetrain?
Is that?
When I hear restomod, I think of a, like, an old muscle car that you've put disc brakes
on and some suspension work.
And that makes it a restomod because it just has the modern stuff.
So I guess this is a restomod.
It's got a, it's got gauges from 2008.
Did you guys see that?
If you zoom in on the gauges, it's an automator products incorporated.
2008.
I feel like this is the definition of a restomod.
So it doesn't, so you don't, if it has the original engine, it's, it does, it, it could,
it could not.
It could.
What do you consider a singer?
Well that's someone who sings professionally.
Oh, you mean the car?
Don't occur.
Every Porsche.
Don't occur.
Just stop.
Their, their whole chest just flipped over.
Just.
The singers are gorgeous.
But it's a kit car.
But I can't speak to it because I don't know anything about Porsche.
Really.
But what would you can, you know what they do to the singers though?
I've seen them.
Would you consider, what would you consider that a restomod?
The interior I know about, I'm a, and I'm assuming that the, that really everything,
that's just the body that, that's, that's remained the same.
Is that correct?
No, none of it has.
Oh, the body is not even the original body.
It's carbon fiber.
Yeah.
So what was original, what did they keep original or is it?
Serial number?
Barely anything.
Yeah.
Oh, yeah.
The whole car's re-engineered.
Yeah.
Re-imagine the exit.
So that would be, that would be my, a restomod.
But is it a restomod?
If there is no resto part.
Well, there's just restoring it completely.
Yeah.
Then it's just a new build.
Not according to the VIN number.
Yeah.
The VIN that is no longer really working.
How much of the original part do you need for it to be a restomod?
It's not about me, it's the question of what is the definition.
At what point would you call your scout a restomod?
After what level of modification?
Ooh, good question.
It's not a restomod.
It's not a restomod.
It's just a restoration.
It's a restoration.
Yeah.
You have drum brakes, you have a very like original interior.
Do I have drum brakes?
Oh, maybe they have front discs.
I think I have front discs.
Oh, international arms are very fancy.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Oh, it is the 70s, not the 60s, right?
73.
Okay.
Yeah.
The only update was my radio.
What's a radio?
A retro radio.
Retro sound?
Retro sound.
Digital screen?
No.
Yes, it does have a digital screen.
But it's got that dogma-
But it's the analog, it's the analog one.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Okay.
I couldn't save the radio.
I tried.
Why would you, okay.
Do you wish that car had any upgrades?
You didn't want to upgrade anything?
No.
Okay.
I didn't want to upgrade anything.
Is it far-
No, I pulled it out years ago.
Well, that would be a nice upgrade, a new AC system for it.
No, if I did it, I'd get the old one back in.
Oh, fair.
Yeah.
Wow.
I'm a purist.
Except for the color.
The color is original color from 1973.
Not from the car, though.
Well, no, because the car, I never saw the original color, mind you.
They didn't even find it under some body pan or something?
Yes, but I'm meaning, in my lifetime, it was not.
It was never the original color.
When I was in it.
It was green?
It was two-tone, forest green and brown.
Phenomenal.
Yeah.
And you didn't want to do that?
I was thinking about doing it.
Yeah.
And it was going to be like an ode to my dad, but then I thought about it and I was like,
well, do I want to just make this my own?
And so I chose to make it my own.
And that's who it being about you.
Yeah, I really, pretty much.
That makes sense.
Yeah.
I'm an only child, don't forget.
Oh, I can't forget.
OK, tell us your wagon.
That's my wagon.
Oh, no, that's Andrew's next.
Oh, I'm next.
Well, you know, I'm a pretty sweet.
Oh, wait, I'm sorry, Andrew.
I'm sorry.
We have to do pricing on this thing real quick.
New, this car was $3,200 to $3,400 in 1960.
Use the estimate is between 25 to 35K.
And that's a lot, I feel like.
However, right now it's currently sitting at 2325.
It's going to be 50K for this car, probably.
You really think so?
Yeah.
And it closes tomorrow.
I am less than 50.
I mean, the amount of work that went into this thing,
I think this is $100,000 worth of labor.
Worth of labor.
Interesting, they call it a sedan.
I did find that very odd.
Oh, interesting.
Yeah.
Anyway.
OK.
It'd be funny if it was a, the country sedan means wagon.
And then a normal sedan is just a sedan.
Oh, maybe.
You know what I mean?
But don't quote me on that.
I don't know.
OK.
All right.
Sorry about that, Andrew.
You go ahead.
Let's see here.
I got to pull it up.
I got a 1970 Ford Country Squire.
Just a little newer this steep.
But this one's got the wood paneling that I'm looking for.
It's got a 390 CI V8.
And that's the big motor, the big FE block.
And I just have to say, this car looks like the best time in the world for a cross-country
road trip.
Did someone only store that?
Or is it just it was acquired in 2020?
Oh, Wimbledon White.
Very nice.
Yeah, Wimbledon White.
This is gorgeous.
This is red interior.
Look at those photo.
This is Palm Springs when your peeps.
Yeah, I would like to buy this, actually.
I mean, look at, do you guys see the rear seat arrangement?
Yeah.
How it folds up either side and then like, can you, do you guys like somebody enough to
go on a six-hour road trip facing them, right?
Just looking right at them the whole time.
I'm not going on a road trip.
So imagine this, you're a kid in the 70s or whatever, and you're just forced to stare
at your sibling for an entire road trip.
I mean, they must have gone along.
Lying over each other, yeah.
Well, I will tell you, I drove to high school in carpool in this car on a regular basis.
In the back.
And you didn't have to buckle in your seat, right?
No, we didn't buckle in our seats.
We would be making faces at, you know, the people behind us.
Well, and it pop up headlights too with this specific year of Country Squire.
Is this all original paint?
It looks like it.
I mean, he's got the paint gauge on it.
Where do these cars live?
Palm Springs?
Yeah, I got so, yeah.
I really like who he's got the temperature gun.
Yeah.
He's pointing at the vent 40 degrees.
No, he's doing it.
Okay.
Yeah, it's it.
So currently it's at 22,000.
Yeah.
And it ends in two days.
No reserve as we spoke about earlier.
There's no reserve.
So there's no safety on this.
There's no chance.
Yeah, whatever.
I feel like this guy, this owner lives not in a safety way.
Why do you say that?
Because he's driving a wagon.
And just feel like he's, he's throwing caution to the wind.
Yeah.
I mean, he's throwing fuel economy to the wind with that.
And also, why would you put black plates on it?
Black modern.
Are those modern?
Yeah.
Oh, yuck.
Just fine.
Can you get, can you get the old plates?
Yeah, you can get old plates.
Can you have the really old school blue?
It's a little more difficult to register.
It is difficult.
I got it.
It's difficult, but.
I would like to say a few things about this car if you're okay with that, Andrew.
Yeah, yeah.
Get on it.
Okay.
So the things that I am a huge fan of, first of all, this is very much like Brady Bunch
iconic Americana.
And the other little note I'm going to mention is when I was around 13, I was best friends
with someone whose stepmother at the time was director Betty Thomas, who directed the
Brady Bunch the movie.
And keep that as a note, because one of the things that she would do on set is she would
forget people's names and she had a way of calling people Bunky, which I found pretty
funny.
In researching this grill, the grill is called the Bunky Beak.
Did you guys know that?
That's pretty cool.
Are you saying that she used the word Bunky as a dude?
No, just like if she forgot your name, she'd be like Bunky.
Oh, wow.
She had Bunky.
I don't think that was her.
Somebody get her on the phone.
Yeah, I actually figured it out.
But the Bunky Beak is what this is referred to as, which was designed by a semen Bunky
Knudsen, also known as the Knudsen Nose Grill.
And he was GM's head of Pontiac before becoming president of Ford.
And then some of the other cars that have a similar grill from 1970, can you throw one
out?
I feel like one you grew up with at one point.
What?
Sorry, stop listening to you.
What?
Oh, the Thunderbird, the Mustang and the Cougar.
Oh, yes, very much so.
Very much so.
I see that.
Yeah.
What?
Sorry, I missed that.
The grill.
I was looking at Bunky.
The grill of the car.
It's not reminiscent of the grill.
I think the Mercury Marauder had the same style headlights and all that.
Okay, okay.
Yeah, yeah, okay.
And then the other really awesome thing that I love about this car that you chose, Andrew,
is the grill doors that slide open for the hideaway lights.
This has hideaway lights?
Yeah.
Isn't that what they're called?
Hideaway lights?
I don't know.
I mean, I don't see any headlights.
So, video number three on the list.
Oh, yeah, you gotta get to it.
Start a headlight operation.
You'll see the direction they go in.
That's pretty cool.
I'm sure volume doesn't come on.
Oh, whoops.
Whoops, whoops.
So, those are vacuum activated, is that right?
Yeah, that's pretty cool.
Can you speak to that a little bit about?
Well, it just uses, you know, engine vacuum to do it.
There's a good description.
No, I can't really.
Yeah, that's great.
Let me think.
Air pressure?
Yeah.
Something with air pressure.
Okay.
Yeah.
I feel like this car could be a really bad person car in a movie.
Oh, yeah.
Like a villain would drive.
Look at those headlights.
See, now you like it.
See, now you like it.
When you have all the henchmen in the back with you?
No, but that's just slowly driving up following you.
That's pretty rad.
The other thing that's really interesting about this car that I immediately clocked
when I was looking at the interior is the dash is driver-centric cockpit.
Like a Toyota Supra.
No, I'm not.
I don't know if that's true, but I'll believe you.
Yeah, Mark IV Supra.
Sorry, I'm still in these lights.
But it's more like the cockpit of an airplane because the rest of the dash has no controls.
So all the controls, the air conditioning, the radio, it's all right in front of the
driver.
Wow, not really.
That's kind of cool.
The radio is on the left side of the cluster too, which is weird.
Which is like, you want to change the music?
No.
That's my radio.
That's right.
That's right.
That's right.
That's definitely a dad car where it's like, okay.
Yeah, it's pretty sick.
Okay, that's interesting.
New, these were $4,300 to $4,500 in 1970.
Used 22 to 26, so it's currently sitting at 22 like you said, Andrew.
What do you think it's going to go for?
And it ends in two days.
Look at that, Dave.
Wow.
Andrew.
Sorry, I'm just recalculating.
I didn't really want to go for 40.
40.
40 grand.
I'll go 50 for this.
I feel like some of the people who have been here for a while.
I'm not sure.
I'm not sure.
I'm not sure.
I'll go 50 for this.
I feel like someone's...
You're going to go 50.
Red interior?
What I wanted to say with this car, no matter what it goes for, the value for money is the
amount of metal you get in this purchase compared to a modern car, a sports car.
The amount of metal you get.
Look at the key ring, the owner's manual.
Well, something this car has that not many other modern cars, especially modern wagons,
they could never do something as cool as the three-way tailgate.
Yeah.
Well, you can pull it down like a normal truck.
Yeah.
Or you can swing it out.
Yeah.
And it's just like, it works with the window up or down.
The attention to detail.
And lack of safety.
Lack of safety.
Well, again, throw it out the window.
Who cares?
Talking about windows, that back window rolls down as well.
So as a child in the back without a seatbelt on, you could just dangle your body out there.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Another great car for Steve.
And he's getting re-rendered.
Yeah.
Well.
You know what?
Fun fact, so I got the Defender.
Oh.
Because you got a barn door in the back, as opposed to opening like a hatch where like
you open it up and they jump out.
Now, I can open it like a little and control.
Kind of like, yeah.
Yeah.
That's cool.
So I don't know, I might be sold on this one.
Yeah, I'm pretty sold on this one.
But I could see this being like a creepy bad person in a movie driving it slow around the
school.
As long as you don't wear the Jeffrey Dahmer glasses.
You know what I mean?
Those big wire glasses.
No, no, no.
You have to wear those.
This is what the coach of Little League drives.
Yeah.
And he's seen some stuff.
Yeah.
Steve, would you like a ride home?
Yes.
Why don't you jump up here?
You want to get a little extra practice in afterwards?
Yeah.
We'll do it in my backyard.
What is it?
I never say yes to strangers or I can't even remember what they told me as a kid.
Just saying.
That would probably be yes.
Just saying no is about drugs, you know?
That seems pretty straightforward.
Don't say yes to strangers.
Versus?
I think that's it.
That's it.
Yeah.
Okay.
Okay.
All right.
Okay.
Well, I'm back to the 80s again.
Oh my gosh.
Oh no, Andrew, you had an 88.
You've got an 88 coming up.
Did you pick two?
Oh no.
Wait, what am I talking about?
No, I've deleted one because it's already passed.
It's sale date.
So I was incorrect.
I have chosen something I didn't know existed and now I'm obsessing over, which is the
1972 AMC Hornet SST Sport About Gucci Edition.
Hornet made a Gucci Edition?
What?
In the 70s?
That's so crazy to me.
Wow.
So this is wild.
This thing is a green.
What's that thing?
It's the, I really can only speak to just the design of this.
It looks like a handbag on the inside.
It does look like a handbag on the inside.
The interior was designed by legendary, excuse me.
Oh, sorry.
Let me go back one moment.
The stylist was Dick Teague.
I don't know for the vehicle.
Well, you can drive me.
Yeah.
But the interior was designed by Aldo Gucci in 1972.
I bet.
The cabin has the Gucci interior, Gucci Edition interior with the red and cream lines of en
green lines of the leather ceases.
So you mentioned Dick Teague.
And I just have to mention my favorite Dick Teague design.
Oh, go.
I'm curious if you guys can see the similarities between this and the Cherokee XJ, the four
liter Cherokee XJ.
Dick Teague, that was one of his final designs.
One of his most well known designs too.
XJ, I'm looking this up right now.
Oh yeah, sure.
Sorry.
This has a hatchback too.
What is it that is the same here?
Because I'm missing it.
Oh, I don't know.
Oh, OK.
I was just saying Dick Teague designed it.
Oh, OK.
I mean, it's cool.
This is a cool vehicle.
It's got those hard lines, which I love.
Is that an original fire extinguisher?
I didn't get that far to the fire extinguisher.
Fire and Flager.
Is that what that is?
The red, white and blue.
Yeah.
So this car does have a little bit of paint, chips and issues, et cetera, but it only has
around what was it, 45 K miles, original miles.
It is pretty pristine outside of that.
I mean, guys, you can be rusted into the ground like five years after.
Well, yeah, but that's just like an eat off that engine.
This car is immaculate.
This is.
This is.
It's totally immaculate.
They only made, let's see.
They only made about.
Sorry, about 2,500 units in 1972 and 2,200 in 1973.
So the fact that this is not only.
This is the original owner.
Oh, we're just new by the seller's grandparents.
Oh, wow.
That's why it's so well cared for.
That is really special.
Yeah, this is this is a killer buy.
I think I think you should get this.
It's a scout.
I would want instead of the scout.
Yeah, yeah.
Well, what would this win?
This is much.
What would this win?
This let me tell you cars and coffee people would never know what this was.
And they would think that I designed the interior best because I am a Gucci girl, but they
would never realize that this is real.
Now, by the way, on the outside, did you notice that there's the Gucci emblem?
Yeah, which is also wild to me.
Yeah, you think they put custom hubcaps on it or you think that's an actual.
I think those are the original hubcaps and those are standard hubcaps.
Yeah, they're kind of pointy and they have like like little holes on on the outside.
The sport about this is this is something that I hope I hope goes to a great family
and that they don't ruin it and redo it at all.
What would you like?
Would you like it to be used in part of the family?
Or kept and preserved?
Captain preserved.
Yeah, always.
You don't want it to be with a happy family?
No, no, no.
No.
I mean, how happy could you be with this?
At the end of the day, it is an AMC Hornet.
But look at it, though.
Which is the funny part about it.
Like Gucci was like, yes, I'd like to design the interior of a Hornet.
Were the 70s that sad and painful for people?
No, but I think that's early like brand stuff.
Yeah, right.
Because advertising had just blown up in the 60s, right?
60s, you had a lot of the famous stuff we still talk about.
And I think just the idea of people wanting something a little Italian and also AMC and
these brands losing out to cars coming over from Europe.
Yeah.
Oh, well, I mean, we'll have to do a pod on special edition cars.
That'll be fun.
Like brand.
I mean, how do we get people to buy an AMC Hornet?
I know.
Let's have Gucci go through it and customize the interior.
Well, the reverse of that is the question.
How did he decide that's the car I want to do an interior on of all the cars that he
could have done?
Oh, no, AMC paid him a big sum.
Oh, a lot of money.
Oh, I see.
I got my ETs.
Please, please, please.
Yeah, but this is also what says SST.
Does that make it faster?
Supersonic transport?
Yeah.
I think that's what that means.
Is that what I mean?
Supersonic AMC.
Supersonic.
I mean, look at that thing.
Okay.
Okay.
This is pretty sick.
This does say this and a 2012 Fiat 500 Gucci on bring a trailer at the same time.
How cool is that?
Yeah.
Yeah, see, the people know.
I think the people know.
So this new was, oh wait, I'm reading you totally wrong information.
What was this new?
New 78.
That's kind of high.
78.
Oh, no, no, that's the Subaru.
It was 2600 base and then out the door was closer to like 3200 with your options.
This probably would be around, a highly original would be around 12 to 16K and it's currently
sitting at 9200 and it closes tomorrow.
So what do we think this is going to close at?
I kind of feel like it might go 9200.
I mean, I want it to go for 18.
Yeah.
That's what I want.
Do I think it'll go for 18?
I think that this is probably lost on a lot of people.
You're a woman of means though.
I feel like you'd really enjoy that Andrew has left us.
Andrew's left.
This is the last interesting.
He said Gucci is not for me.
Yeah.
He's more.
I feel like you're a woman of means.
Yeah.
You would be the best caretaker for this car.
Well, let me tell you, tomorrow is my wedding anniversary and I did say to my husband, I
know what I want.
Did you, when you saw this.
Yeah.
I can't believe you had the backup Subaru option.
Well the Subaru is pretty rad.
But it's already sold.
This is my car.
This is you.
This was made for me.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It was made for me.
I think you're going to, you better write down the specs and then you should track this
down later when things work out better.
You think?
Yeah.
You think someone's going to buy this and then be like, what the hell did I do?
All this stuff goes up.
I mean, just, it's probably a deal that's going to buy it and flip it.
God damn it.
But then it'll be too much.
Well, don't, don't, yeah, but that's okay.
Things will turn around.
Okay.
If anybody is listening and wants to get in on this with me.
Oh.
I will do a fractional.
We'll run out of time.
This is tomorrow.
Okay.
The pod doesn't come out.
That's a dream.
Steve?
Yeah.
Are you in?
Do you want to buy this with me?
Should we share this car?
But Steve can't get into it.
No.
Okay.
No.
Maybe an entry.
No.
No.
No.
This is you.
Aren't you stoked that these kind of cars were out there though?
So happy.
All right.
It makes me, it makes me feel.
I feel like you're winning cars and coffee.
Oh, am I?
With this car?
What do we think?
I think so.
Really?
Out of the wagons.
Out of the three wagons?
Ooh, I don't know.
No, no, I think Andrew's winning.
The wood paneling and you know you could have people sit in the back.
You can have people sit in the back of mine too, by the way.
A Gucci original, one owner.
No.
This is the thing though.
You got to have a boomer board for that because no one's going to know that information.
They're going to know.
They're going to know?
Because they're going to ask you.
A Gucci interior?
This wins if you park it next to my choice.
Oh.
Personal.
But for the regular people, they'd have to know it's a Gucci interior.
See, that's the same.
That's like.
No one's even walking up to that way.
This thing, this green Gucci, you're going to know right away?
Well, and all the people that are over 65, they'd be like, how is this still on the road?
Yeah.
Yeah.
All the young peeps with their Gucci, oh my gosh.
The Gucci.
Gucci game is friggin.
Oh my gosh.
Can you imagine you walk up wearing Gucci loafers and like, I need to take a picture
with this.
I don't need to imagine.
I just go into my closet.
Just parking in front of the Gucci store.
It's in Oregon, I think, or something.
Washington?
I think it's in Washington.
Well, for the listeners out there, if you fancy this car and you buy it, please let Veronica
know.
Yeah.
Please let Veronica know.
We're going to do a whole photo shoot with every single Gucci piece of a tire that you
own.
Well, it's a lot.
So just get ready.
Just get ready.
Thank you for saying that, Andrew.
Okay.
So we're going to let you win cars and carving.
Oh, I'll win it.
I'll win it.
I just think that interior.
Phenomenal.
It's unreal.
It's incredible.
I'm still looking at photos because I'm obsessed.
Because you'd have to get the matching fiat.
Well, and the headliner?
Yeah.
The headliner.
I mean, gosh, it just doesn't get better.
Yeah, I just, I like your hideaway headlights, but I think that, yeah.
It's got all the, by the way, the photograph that they've taken of the original paperwork
is laid on a Gucci designed, like glass platter, just to top it off.
So much respect to this family.
Do you think they have a bunch of Gucci stuff in their house?
Should we go to their home?
I mean, like you're in Washington, right?
Yeah.
State of Washington.
Yeah.
You're driving this thing around.
You've had it.
What were these people like in the 70s that they're like?
To buy it and keep it and preserve it.
Do you think it was the wife's choice, husband choice?
Oh, the husband bought it for the wife.
Yeah.
100%.
You think he's at the dealer?
Yeah.
And she's like, you are not buying another car.
And he was like, sweetie, it's your anniversary.
That's right.
I love you very much.
It's your anniversary.
This is your car.
I want to know the stories.
That's my big pet peeve on bringing a trailer when 100 cars come up and they never, you
never get to know the details.
I don't want to know the story too now.
Like what was that?
What was the other car they passed on to get a sport about Gucci?
Wow.
Well, you think 1972, you know, all the moms in the neighborhood are getting together
for their liquid lunches because it's the 70s, you know?
Maybe.
Maybe.
No, but you roll up and you know, all the other moms, they have a nice car, you know,
it's a nice car, but you roll up with your Gucci hornet.
Nobody can even come close to that.
So I'm going to throw a crazy wrench into this.
Okay.
Because we both work to dealerships and you will get these oddball cars in that a lot
of times what happens is dealer can't sell them.
Yeah.
Unsellable cars.
Tell you more.
Those are so weird and there's a possibility this person came in and it was just like,
we've had this thing for eight months.
Just please.
Please.
Please take it from us.
Because do you think they bought it in a Washington dealer?
Oh, I mean.
You think they were like calling around in 1972?
When does the Gucci Horner AMC get here?
I don't know.
Do you think they saw it by chance?
Do you think they won it at a raffle?
Maybe.
I mean, there's some questions.
Maybe there's a magazine motion.
Maybe.
Oh, they mailed away.
Yeah.
They bought it.
Hey, when a Gucci hornet.
So do you think the house is filled with Gucci though?
If the house is filled with Gucci, I need an invitation, S-T-A-T.
I mean, if the wife driving this doesn't have a Gucci handbag, I mean, it's just a
swing and a miss.
I have a feeling you're a wife.
Can I pay her in Gucci handbags?
Hold on, fair.
Hold on.
I think you need at least, do you have a brain trailer account?
I do have a brain trailer account.
You got a comment on here.
I will.
I will.
Oh, what?
So, fun fact.
Yes.
On while the auction is live, you can go to the top and there's a little button that
says, oh, I'm not signed in, I guess.
Wait, hang on.
While you're signing in, I want to just note that there are very cumbersome, but in a good
way, chrome ashtrays on both of the back doors of this vehicle.
That's what those are.
And I am not mad about it because you know how I feel about an ashtray.
I mean, just, I mean, I could put a cigarette into that like nothing.
Well, I would not let you smoke in this car.
Well, true, very true, very true.
But we know it would be back there are werthers.
There you go.
You know, a little butterscotch.
Nice little handful of werthers or retinols.
Yeah.
Finally, it looks like this car has a collapsible spare tire.
Do you see that?
I do see that.
Gosh, it's just like the car I'm about to bring up.
No spoilers.
Okay.
All right.
Steve, did you figure out what you were going to say?
What you're going to do when you're signed into your account, it will let you, where
is it?
Contact seller.
Ooh, I'm a contact seller right now.
Because then you have the information.
So say you don't win the bid, you can email them afterwards and just be like, hey, do
you know what happened to it?
Yeah.
Jenna, or if it doesn't sell.
Yeah.
But just, I've had some good stories because there's been cars that come up and you email
them and they're just, everybody's super nice.
And just be like, just say, hey, look, I love this car.
I'm a huge Gucci girl.
And I just have to know if you're one of us.
I need to know the story and be like, I have a bunch of handbags.
I think you just got to reach out to the seller and just be like, I got to know more about
something.
People love the enthusiasm.
Of course they do.
It would be great if she also had a photo of her parents with the car.
Is it a seller in the car?
It is a woman.
There's a video and she does a walkthrough of the car.
Her husband is there as well, but she's the one that's predominantly kind of showing,
showcasing cars.
I think you got to reach out to her.
I'm going to hit her up.
Okay.
I'd just like to say the final photo, 279 of 279.
Well, that's to show the height.
And I'm like, what a great move.
You know, every used car should have a photo of somebody in the driver's seat.
Not that I know of all this guys.
Yeah, no, he's like, he's 6'4".
Oh, perfect.
6'4".
Man.
Yeah, perfect.
Anyway, you need to contact.
Okay.
We're moving on.
We're moving on.
But Gucci game is strong.
You got to.
Sorry, did we do the money?
Yeah, we did the money, right?
Okay.
Yeah, for the listeners, we're here for a while.
God bless you.
Yeah.
Okay.
All right.
Now we're going to close with Porsches, which I've chosen to not include myself in.
So I'm just going to like...
Oh, that's why you didn't have your choice on.
Yeah, I didn't have a choice on this.
I was going to do it and then I thought, you know, I don't really know enough about Porsches
and I...
No one does.
I feel like this is... there's a holy grail here that I don't want to mess up.
So I'm going to let the two of you just get in on this.
Okay.
But don't worry, I'll criticize.
A holy grail here.
What'd you say?
Well, Steve would...
Yeah, I'm like, there's a holy grail.
What's the holy grail?
I mean, I just randomly pick something because...
I love your choice.
Yeah.
So, first of all, all these things look the same.
We all know that.
Thank you.
Thank you.
They all look the same.
Thankfully, people, you know, can't wait to tell you about their Porsche.
So that's how we can tell them apart.
And they put stripes on them and they put tails on them and then they get matching seatboats
and all that kind of stuff.
Emblems.
Emblems and stuff.
Before all that.
I know.
I know.
I know.
So I decided I'm going to get...
I mean, it essentially...
I mean, we're still just out of Nazi time.
I mean, we're essentially like this thing's still high stepping.
Not even 10 years.
Not even like it's even low or two.
It's close.
Yeah.
So this is a 1953, 356 pre-A coupé.
I'm sorry.
Did you say coupé?
Yeah.
That's how you pronounce it.
Oh.
A coupe is where you keep your chickens.
Oh.
I like that.
Okay.
Go on then, what you bad son?
How do you say Jaguar?
Jaguar.
Okay.
Closer.
Oh, okay.
So, first of all, the color.
Like, I didn't really go into it this much.
I was just...
What makes it unique is that it's got this bent window.
Very early car.
Living in California for a bit.
Former aircraft mechanic.
So your dad probably knows them.
Great sign.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Well maintained.
It's got all the papers, all the things.
And I just feel like people driving around and these things are coming back.
I think it's going to go for a lot more money than I have any.
It's not the original color.
Yeah.
But I like the color that they picked.
And I think you've got fog lamps.
And I think everyone's going to come up and be like, oh, what happened to the window?
And it's like a good conversation to start.
So is this good value?
I don't know.
But if I had to get one, I feel like I'd just go way early in a 50s Porsche and be like,
it's basically a Volkswagen.
But yeah, I do have to say, you know, this is a red interior.
The red interior is perfect.
But this it's been restored.
It's been, I mean, yeah, it's everything has been done to it.
So is this a deal?
I don't know.
But I'm hoping that maybe I don't know people didn't notice.
But.
What would you pay for this?
I don't even know anything about these.
It just looked cool.
And I like the bent window idea.
And I was like, I just want to go for something early.
I don't even know.
Do you know how much these are?
I do.
I do.
But I got some notes here.
I mean, are you surprised?
So you didn't pick a car where you're going to shit on mine?
I am because that's what that's great.
It's finally I guess I have an opportunity to do.
And I'm going to.
Yeah, hit me.
So the original color was.
Blue or something.
Azure blue, which from what I understand is kind of sought after.
So I'm curious as to why he decided.
Because this looks way better.
Yeah.
OK, all right.
Brings down the price, though.
The radio doesn't work.
Do we care about that?
I mean, it is period correct, but the radio doesn't work.
OK.
Then he also added like an auxiliary fuel level gauge.
Can I speak about that for a while?
Yeah, please.
So if you go to my Instagram for my shop, Demand Motorsports,
where we're recording this now, you actually want a reel of me
describing the Porsche sells a $50 piece of wood.
And it's a wooden painter's stick, essentially,
with numbers written on it.
It's called a ruler.
It's called a ruler.
Yeah.
It's like Porsche ruler for $50, but it tells you your fuel
level because in the early 50s, the 356 never came with a fuel gauge.
So that's why he's added one in here.
But for the folks that don't have one in here.
You feel a bit silly.
But isn't it weird that it's in the glove compartment?
So what he's just going to go open up the glove compartment?
It's got to look original.
Yeah, it's got to be a way.
It's kind of like the car that you had with the radio.
So basically, I picked two cars with a hidden little thing.
So that's my huge upgrade.
OK, you got a huge list.
No, no, no, no.
I mean, that's fine.
That's fine.
What's the cost of this thing?
This thing, new.
Andrew, do you have any other things you want to say before I?
How much does it cost?
Three grand?
Three grand originally new.
Yeah, how much was it?
Oh, I don't know if this is correct.
This can't be correct.
100 and 70000 to 200
That's 100 and 70000 dollars in 1953.
Then you'd be an alcher.
You're a researcher.
Yeah, that's incorrect.
So is that what it's worth now then?
I think that's bottom end.
No, I think use there more around 130 to 150
OK, for a pre-aid this beautiful.
Well, I guess it's on original paint.
Yeah, yeah.
I mean, minimum 150
It's got to be more than that, though.
Well, we're going to find out.
It's currently sitting at forty.
Six days.
I'll go buck fifty for this.
Yeah, OK, you're going to go a buck fifty.
Yeah, I really like the pre-aid dashboard with the.
Yeah, it's fine.
The eyelids over the gauges.
It's fun.
It's fun.
It's just tooling around.
It's real pretty.
I do have to say the engine bay looks very well kept.
It does have the original early A356 fuel pump, and it even has the hard line coming
out of it, which is quite often changed for a rubber line, but it's always nice to see
the original lines.
Oh, yeah.
OK, well, that's my choice.
Yeah, this is.
And you didn't.
So you've already lost this.
Oh, well, I'm not playing this one.
I'm not in this one.
It's not in this battle.
You know, if I, yeah, I'm not in this one, but I do have thoughts on Andrews.
Well, you know, Andrew, hit me.
What's yours?
I was very creative.
And as you chose with your SUV, I chose a car that I already own because.
I think that's great.
I chose a very fast and class style.
41,000 mile, 1988, 944.
Is that high or low?
That's very low miles.
I mean, gosh, this car really, really looks beautiful.
Everything's been done to it.
All the.
I mean, it's got sports seats.
So the significance of the sports seat, the side bolsters.
Look at that license plate.
That's pretty.
There was a license plate.
It's pretty great.
So you want to tell us brought one.
Yeah.
Oh, I'm looking at the front one.
OK.
The side bolsters on sports seats come out like four or five more inches.
So it holds you in like a bucket.
Like the normal seats, the side bolsters, just like a normal seat.
And I mean, it's got the the Porsche wheel that you can actually buy from the dealership.
It's got Porsche written in the side of the Momo Pro to Tepo.
And it also has a nice.
Good idea.
I have this radio in my 912, actually.
OK.
Same radio.
And then I look at the engine bay and I have an 87.
This is an 88.
The coolant reservoir is actually a different design.
Something that this car doesn't has.
I don't cruise control.
The huge cruise control box.
In 1988.
Wow.
All right.
Well, when you're doing lines.
But the I'm just I'm trying to see a problem with this car and it's just perfect.
What are you going to pay for?
OK, I think this is a with how nice it is in the current mileage.
Yeah, I think this is a $40,000 car.
Well, knew they were 43 to 45 used 32 to 37.
It was $43,000 in 1988.
Yeah, because it was the Frank, the German doll.
Oh, that's right.
The skyrocketed.
That's insane.
Yeah.
And the 968 was only was even more expensive by the early 90s.
So what's again, where are they worth now?
Well, it's currently sitting at 25 K.
Oh, sorry, their worth used between 32 to 37 currently sitting at 25 K.
For me, you want to know how much I bought mine for?
And it ends in three days.
$9,500.
Wow.
I got it.
It doesn't work.
It works perfectly.
OK, now that's.
I did the fuel injectors.
OK.
What do we think it's going to go for?
40.
40.
OK.
And that's a little high.
We have any comments?
We have any comments to help us guys?
I mean, I don't.
Oh, you mean in the comment box?
Either.
I saw ice cold AC in the deep south.
You love an ice cold AC.
It's like 944.
AC is one of the greatest things on earth.
Wow.
OK.
I got to say, I love, obviously, the headlights that Steve, you did mention back in.
What is it?
2000.
I wrote this down in 2004.
Is when they stopped allowing the pop up headlights.
Was that what the C5, the C6?
I think so.
A cord cut.
Yeah, it was one of the last.
But those were originally designed by Gordon Viewing in and it was first seen in the 1936
cord 810, which I've had to look up.
A cord for Andrew.
A cord.
Oh, no, you know what a cord is.
Yes.
The sign on my wall.
This is reserved cord parking only.
Oh, my gosh.
So the cord 812 of 1936.
Here we go.
The most beautiful car of all time.
It is beautiful.
It is so amazing.
I think we're running out of time.
We might be running out of time.
We're running out of time.
I'd just like to say if anybody has a chance to go to the Dusenberg Arbor and Cord Museum.
In Ohio?
In Dusenberg, Ohio.
In Auburn, Indiana.
OK.
Just a phenomenal place to see these cars.
Yeah, OK.
Well, he is the godfather of the disappearing headlights.
I just want to mention.
Yeah.
The body is a beautiful silhouette designed by Harm Lagae.
Harm Lagae.
And that was he actually designed the 924.
Yes.
The 944 was really Porsche in-house and Harm was just like two thumbs up.
Looks good to me, guys.
OK.
So.
OK.
How do you know that?
I have one.
I know.
OK.
No, so the 924, it didn't have those box simulators.
You know, the fender flares.
So he designed that in 1978.
A little more squatty.
It was a 76, 77.
It was just narrower.
OK.
The thing I love about this is the exterior.
The thing that where I then become bored is the moment I open that door.
I'm like, well, now what?
So let me ask you this.
I mean, it's real boring in there.
It's real boring.
Bungture.
I say vastly ahead of its time.
Because you get in the interior of a facelift 944,
and it feels like a Japanese interior from the early 2000s.
That's good to see, bro.
Yeah, I mean, except it's a Porsche from the 80s.
And everything, you know, nothing creaks.
Well, maybe the rear glass.
The rear glass.
And the dash has got a couple problems.
Yeah.
I'm just like, man, people were weird about dash cracks.
I'm like, what?
Do you want the car to be inside vacuum sealed for the last 30 years?
Well, if you look at the Hornet.
True.
Very true.
It's not Gucci.
It's not Gucci.
It ain't no Gucci, baby.
I also like who's winning bars and coffee.
Oh, between the two of you?
Yeah.
I think it's Steve.
Unless you've got some more notes.
No, I think it's Steve.
Yeah, yeah.
I mean, just, yeah.
Yeah, Steve's winning.
OK.
You're driving a piece of history.
So what are you doing in your car?
How's it changed your life?
Well, it's not.
Because we have the same car ready.
Yeah.
But I mean, gosh, that car, the best time to drive a 944,
the best place in time, is on a freeway in the middle of the night.
Because all you see is you pop up headlights off.
There's nobody else on the freeway.
It's the best.
You got some electronic music playing.
And that's the best.
Oh, some EDM, huh?
Oh, right.
He's deep on that.
OK.
Shout out above and beyond.
Oh, all right.
Steve, I think you've got a bonus bat listing, right,
that we want to talk about?
The GTO?
Yeah.
Did we not bring that up in the beginning?
Oh, yeah, we did do that.
I feel like we did that in the beginning.
I do.
I have a bonus.
OK.
I have a wild card.
I've got it.
I got to say, shout out to whoever's selling an M28 Porsche V8 coffee
table.
Did you see this in my notes?
That's right.
That's right.
Yes.
So somebody's selling a Porsche 928 V8 done up to be a coffee table.
And I just think this is the coolest thing in the world.
What makes a good engine coffee table?
Well, I thought about this because I'm a big 944 guy,
and that would make a terrible coffee table.
How, like, let's say this owner met a woman.
Can he still have that table?
Oh, is this directed toward me?
No, I'm just saying.
Takes a special order.
Can you, I mean, it's like, where's that going?
Is that going to the garage?
Yeah, that's going in your man cave.
Yeah.
Can I be critical of this?
I hope so.
Yeah.
This is very cool.
But.
I would probably get rid of the Rothmans panel,
because that is just screwed onto the valve cover,
and I'd rather just, or the cam tower cover.
OK.
I guess whatever.
Some portion of it.
But are you putting this in your living room?
I would just make it a little less flashy.
How do you do that?
How do you?
How?
I just, I don't know.
Why does that happen?
Why is the intake in?
Why is it?
Let's see some of the comments.
We got any comments?
Yeah, let's look at that.
There's no reserve, by the way, and this Porsche M28 V8
coffee table, early is.
Is this from the Michael Scott collection?
Oh, that's great.
It's on casters, which is nice.
Well, that's just so you can roll around.
Well, I got to say, the actual logistics of moving this thing
would be terrible.
I mean, would you get an engine crane?
What's your dream engine coffee table?
Like, what's the thing?
It would be an aviation engine from 1915.
OK.
You know, one of those.
Is that a big?
Is that a, that's a little bit of a coffee table size.
They made some small ones, they made some small ones
and some big ones.
Give me a car.
Like, what's the dream?
What's your dream engine coffee table?
Yeah.
What are you doing?
That is one of the more difficult questions of the
recent year.
OK, hold on to it.
Yeah, let me hold on to it.
We're going to go back to it.
We'll put that out into our social media.
All right, yeah.
That's a question.
OK.
A question with strange answers to come.
All right, so we're getting towards the end.
Yeah.
We have a lot of us pick three cars.
Some pick two.
Some pick two.
Some picked a coffee table.
Yeah, and a car.
Who won?
Oh, across the board?
Yeah.
Well, let's see.
I mean, it's me.
Yeah?
Yeah, it's easily me.
You want to go the Gucci?
Are we going to give her victory for this?
No, I mean, I just, I don't think anybody can argue
with the F-250.
It's so high and above the praise truck.
You're holding on to that.
I mean, it's just that F-250 is perfect.
It's perfect.
It's a five-speed manual.
It's not even an automatic.
It just can't get any better.
OK, let's play a game.
OK.
We're going to post these to Instagram.
We're going to track these for the next week's pod
to find out where these actually landed.
We can start the pod by kind of breaking that down.
But if we've kind of made our guesses on how much
these are going to go for, maybe that's our second game.
So the whole thing is the absolute best active deal.
That's right.
You know, we can say deal.
I can define that the way I wanted to find it.
You know, we can do whatever we want with it.
But I have to say the value in my truck is in that a modern
truck of the same option level is $150,000.
And no matter what, this is going to be a third of that.
And it's just the value for money and what you get.
I think it's just the intrinsic value of a Gucci wagon.
That is pretty valuable.
Yeah.
That's a lot of value there.
Yeah.
One owner.
I'm just you could be Matthew McConaughey in season one
of True Detective.
Yeah.
That's pretty cool.
Yeah.
I don't know.
That's that's for a West Side get about car.
Yeah.
I think you're going to be thinking about this car for a while.
Picture me rolling to the Gucci store on Rodeo.
You should make contact.
You have to.
I will.
I mean, the number one for the podcast.
Yeah.
We're going to hear the story.
I got to talk to this.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Because she's clearly a baller.
Yeah.
And her mother and father.
I hope they are big Gucci fans and it wasn't just something that was given to them.
No impossible because they wouldn't have kept it this whole time.
Mm hmm.
I don't know.
Since 1972.
Yeah.
I don't know.
In a garage, mind you.
Yeah.
Okay.
All right, we're going to come back to this.
On that bombshell.
Great seabull.
If you listen to this and you have any sort of money, please just spend 40,000 on this FD50.
It's a work of art.
Is the greatest truck ever made.
This is terrible.
No.
No.
All right.
Before we go, are we going to see each other or are we all going to go?
Andrew, are you going to come to the Peterson?
Oh, Peterson Italian show on Saturday.
I could.
Yeah, I think you should.
Only if Steve is 100% in.
Can somebody give me like a launch show to drive to it?
I want something really.
There is a launch show available to purchase right now at Delta.
Do you have an answer to your earlier question and I'm not going to choose a car engine.
But if I can choose.
That's not answering my question.
Well, I just got to say, if I could have any engine in the world to make a table out of,
it would be a right R3350 duplex cyclone.
And let me just tell you what that is.
I can totally see that right now.
That was a vacuum.
It's a twin row supercharged, air cooled, radial aircraft engine.
They were in cylinders.
That's what he's saying.
Nearly three at the present.
I'd say 350 cubic inches.
No.
We're going to post a photo of that because none of us know what that looks like.
It powered the B29 Superfortress.
Have you ever.
Oh, OK.
Sure.
Have you ever seen it used as a coffee table?
I can I can make that happen.
I have not seen it.
OK.
But, you know, anyway, I think we're going to get a step stool for that to work as a coffee table.
I'd have to sink it into the ground.
That's what I do.
Make it like below ground right.
OK.
I don't think this is a car podcast anymore.
You know, it's got really tall chairs.
Very true bar table.
Yeah. High tops.
There you go.
Yeah.
That's a technical term.
You know, shoes.
Yeah.
Yeah, exactly.
Exactly.
Exactly.
All right.
So this weekend, we'll see you.
You'll see maybe.
At the Peterson Automotive in your Ferrari, Maya Barth.
I mean, we'll see.
We'll see.
And then I'll be driving something not Italian.
Not Italian.
Well, you won't park upstairs.
And it'll just get hot.
The car doesn't like heat.
I don't like heat.
Do we have do we have a like water wetter in it?
I don't even know what that is, but it sounds uncomfortable.
Yes.
It sounds.
Well, we'll get some in.
It just lowers the cooling or it raises the cooling capacity.
Yeah. No idea.
Is that like another person?
No, no, no.
It's a liquid.
Yeah.
Yeah.
What does a water gun work just the same?
Well, that's like a water meth injection sometimes.
You know, it's kind of a.
Yeah.
All right.
We'll time that.
OK.
Well, you want to go through Saturday.
Oh, yeah.
Sure. See, what's your social?
The same as it was last time.
Let's go through it again.
Cartoons.
Very nice.
And that's in class.
All right.
And then Veronica.
Vern's 73 Scout.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And I am air cooled turtle.
Yeah.
And follow Demand Motorsports where we're recording this right now.
That's right.
OK. Well done.
Thanks guys.
That was a big win for Bring a Trailer.
Yeah.
It's a big ad for.
I hope one person listens to it from Bring a Trailer,
but that's probably not going to happen.
Oh, we're going to repost this and tag them all day long.
Thorny was going to go to the quick shout out to Miss Gucci of Washington.
That's right.
That's right.
That's right.
I'll see you guys next week.
All right.
You guys.
Saturday.
Saturday.
See you.
All right.
Bye.
Ciao.
About this episode
NASCAR on a naval base, loud enough to worry about hearing, and cars getting airborne over rough track set the tone before the hosts pivot to Cars and Coffee sightings and a Bring a Trailer best-deal breakdown. They explain how the auction works—buyer’s fees, the two-minute rule, reserves vs “No Reserve,” and “Premium” longer listings—then work through pricing guesses and condition tells. The conversation keeps drifting into real-world ownership stories (dogs, rust, originality) and ends with a Porsche-focused close.
This week Andrew goes full Born in the USA with stories from NASCAR San Diego. Then the three of us show how little we know about classic car prices (except for Steve) and attempt to give advice on the best values on BAT. Veronica finds her dream Gucci spec car and leaves us all wondering what in the world “bunky” means. Who did the best?
