Craig Craig We don't know

1,000 cars, sir, you have 1,000 cars.

I don't think I'd attempt to try this stunt.

Oh, we owe this horsepower to Uncle Sam's.

Too big a car.

Look, I put my beer belly on it.

Yeah.

You immediately tell somebody how many cars you have.

You'll really give those up at a yuppie, something to think about.

Stay on the bar.

Don't go off the bar with your Bronco.

1980 Volvo horns, what's right?

Meet me.

I'm a man's coolant.

And he's like, oh, I thought I'd be small.

It's for a small car.

And I'm like, yeah, but it's still an automatic transmission.

They're never going to be light.

It's definitely going to have to crash.

Starting off with Brad Beggin on the car.

That's the West.

Internet.

You know, is this a Nigerian oil print?

I also wish you drove a tan Camry.

Anyways, that's a very horrible podcast content.

A very inside joke.

They love to be driven hard.

Off topic, how are you?

We're going to title this one the one where he holds the mic closer to his base.

All right.

Yeah.

Yeah, we're working on it.

Apology for last improvement.

Sound issues.

We'll get there.

It's only been almost nine years.

We'll figure it out eventually.

The last two have been challenging.

A lot has gone on.

A lot has changed.

My internet is terrible.

Life is what it is.

So we're working on some of those things still again, frustratingly, but it is what

it is.

Hopefully there's not too much of a delay.

We're talking over each other.

It's all my internet.

Yeah.

So what people don't know is the way the internet works in Arizona is it travels to the Arizona

border and then is transported via stagecoach to your house and back and forth.

So trains.

That's how it works.

That's why it's so slow.

Transcontinental.

What railroad?

What I will say is that it is outdated because we don't have fiber in our neighborhood.

We do have fiber in Phoenix, just not here.

So the internet at my house is still transmitted via telephone line.

So it's not modern by any standards.

I'll never forget, I went to mail you something within the last, obviously the timeframe

that you lived there.

It's like five years.

Six.

And the guy at the post office here was like, yeah, the guy at the post office was like,

man, Phoenix is kind of far away.

I'm like, yeah, but it's like 2021.

Are you walking to there for me or are you putting it on an airplane?

What is happening now?

Yeah.

Wait, there's, US Mail has trucks and planes, sorry to make you work so hard, sir.

Yeah.

The guy at the counter that walks it to the back, then it puts it on the conveyor belt

that brings it to wherever it goes.

You're not on the guys walking all the way to the thing.

Weird, but whatever.

Yeah, I guess so.

So yeah, what do we get going on?

I went to the NASCAR race.

That was cool.

You want to talk about that since I was there?

It was a wonderfully good race.

It was one of the better races I've seen it in New Hampshire in a while.

And I think I actually didn't, I haven't watched the broadcast yet.

I kind of forgot because I was there.

But I think they had adjusted the tire compound, it seemed,

is what they, I kind of heard in person.

They were talking about it.

I don't know if you remember that from the broadcast.

They did something.

I mean, they had, I felt like last year it was kind of a freight train of cars.

It wasn't much passing.

And then this year it had multiple lanes, which was cool.

Unless I'm misremembering last year, but it didn't rain at all.

This year was really good.

There were three and four wide for most of the race.

There was a lot of passing.

There was a lot of movement.

There was a lot going on all race long.

And the tire compound was perfect.

Like the way war, the way everything happened,

the way it gripped all over the place.

Like it was, it was cool.

I forget how bumpy New Hampshire is though

until I see the broadcast.

Yeah, I don't think they've repaved it in quite a while.

And, you know, normally I'm just doing when I do track days there,

we just do the front straight.

And then before it turns one and turn two, you turn hard left

and you go through a chicane and you pop out back on the back

straight for like a second and then go up into the field

where the RVs are all parked up around the hill.

But, yeah, that was a cool race and weather was great.

And, you know, I didn't.

It's kind of like it must be really frustrating for someone

like Josh Berry, who was in the playoffs last week

and then is out and then ran really well at New Hampshire.

So Josh Berry or SVG, both of the same situation

where they were running really well until they weren't.

And didn't really matter much because they're out of the contention

for the actual play out.

Well, that's the thing with Josh Berry in the 21.

He did get wrecked, but then he came back.

It was like, whoa, okay, that's cool.

So, but SVG and the 99 of Swara's got caught up.

Brad Kosolowski did some weird move and caused a big wreck

coming out of turn two.

And Kosolowski was like, there's a hold down here.

It's not big enough for my car, but maybe I can make it work.

Yeah.

I couldn't really see it from where we were sitting

because it were kind of, we're like halfway at the stands.

So I saw the replay after and I was like, what was he doing?

Because it's like from the helicopter, you're like,

oh, okay, that didn't make, there was no room for you there

at all and just through the two track house cars

ended up into the wall and because I was sitting there

and they came down, both of them came down to the lane

and went in behind in the garage like, oh, that's not good.

And then I saw Swara's walking from the garage with a suit off

and you're like, well, he must be done for the day.

So, SVG did get back out there.

I don't know how many laps down he was,

but it was a shame because he qualified really well

up in like eighth, I think, pretty high, the top 10.

And then it was running like,

or maybe qualified like 10th or something,

qualified pretty high.

And then he was running in the top 10,

most of the beginning part of the race, which was cool

and a happy form.

Because it was mostly Ford, Penske,

but the Toyotas were running pretty well too, so.

Definitely a Penske day, no question.

They were challenging from the Chevys, yeah.

Yeah, and the 21 is aligned with Penske

because they're a Ford team.

So that's not surprising that they were also fast

because I did watch the qualifying

and he had the fastest,

just barely had the fastest qualifying time

for like several cars, like eight or 10 cars.

And then Joe Ligano took the pull away,

like the last car out, so.

But anyway, Marko was excited that Joe Ligano

that Joe Ligano was doing well.

Cause for some reason you like some, I don't know.

I think he's like goofy childlike nature that Joe Ligano has.

Marko just likes to heal.

I guess it's so funny watching driver interactions

and everybody booing for Hamlin.

It's like half booze, half cheers, so funny.

Used to be all booze that's recently changed

to the half and half.

I think honestly, ever since he started recording

a podcast every week and people got to know him

a little better, he turned a lot of people's opinions on him.

Yeah, and I still don't understand

how Chase Elliott is so popular

cause he just doesn't do that well

or he hasn't in the long past,

like since the next gen car has been kind of,

that has zero personality.

People love him.

Yeah, he's just an Elliott.

But they're even trying to intervene before the race

and he was just like, yeah, I just, I don't know.

I gotta go fast and then like didn't talk to the guy.

It was like, okay.

All right.

But whatever.

Yeah, definitely worth it.

They're moving.

So next year, it's not gonna be a play of race,

but it's gonna be in the middle of August.

So probably one of the final races before the playoffs.

So that should be interesting as well.

Probably be a lot hotter, but I don't know.

I've already, I've taken the strength here already.

So looking forward to it.

Lots of a chance of rain in New England in August

and there isn't September.

In both August and September,

there's also a chance of rain then in like June or July.

It's been dry the last couple of summers

from like August to September.

So except for today.

And we're talking about the rain.

We're back at it.

There we go.

It's got a rain here tomorrow.

So we'll make up for it.

All right.

Yeah, so eventually the race was won by Blaney,

which apparently was his first win at New Hampshire.

I didn't realize.

So that was kind of cool.

Got all the lobster.

They give you a lobster at the end.

Like a big gold.

They said this year was 23 pounds.

And I think I've stopped my head.

I don't know.

This is what they said over the announcement,

but it's probably true.

23 pound lobster is like 100 years old, which makes sense.

Wow, that's crazy.

I don't think about that.

That thing survived out there for 100 years or so

and didn't get eaten by anything else.

So yeah, because that does make sense actually

now I'm thinking of it.

Like a hundred and a half lobster.

Like the one you usually get at a restaurant,

like what you think of when you see a lobster,

those lobsters are like seven years old.

So that makes sense that a big one would be close to 100.

So pretty crazy.

Interesting, I just looked it up because I was curious.

Anyway, it says that, yeah, they could be 95 to 100,

but they could be even older

because as they get to that size, their growth slows.

So it could be up to like 140 years.

That's kind of wild.

Thing has been around since before airplanes existed.

And it's like, what am I doing here?

The hell, it's in front of all these people.

So.

The last time, I don't know.

I don't know, I see cars, I don't know what's happening.

Yeah.

Wild lobster facts on an off topic

because it's doing a million podcasts.

It's the off topic portion.

It is.

Yeah, I mean, that's, I don't know how it's to relate.

I don't know if there's any else

that relates to lobster's cars.

So other than you come here and you take a nice drive

to Route 1 and get all the, see who do you want.

And you can visit me and you can get a lobster roll

even cheaper than you can get up there

and it's still somehow a fresh new menu lobster.

Yeah, that makes no sense, but here we are.

But again, you know, Arizona's so far away

but yet they ship stuff like that.

Because nothing is far away

when you factor in airplanes.

3,000 miles, that's about six hours.

Yeah.

All right, so NASCAR, have you done any project car stuff?

I have not actually, I had tons for last week.

This week I have not done anything.

So negative 0.0.

I did some scale car stuff.

We can have that at the end.

Yeah, well, because we went away

for the weekend to go to the race,

I didn't do much.

I did a little bit to the Volvo.

I did a couple more things where I ran.

I did the heated core lines

because I went under the dash.

You have to disconnect them under the dash

and then push them through.

So I've got those set up.

I did some of the fuel line to the carburetors

that's kind of run the bolts I needed came in

and I mounted to the O2 sensor,

wide-band O2 sensor controller to the firewall.

I had already marked and drilled

and installed rib nuts for it.

So that's all set up.

So we're getting very, very close.

And when I have some more time, I'll go over there

and hopefully start finishing up,

getting it close to starting up.

But still, I'm trying to do it for the winter.

I didn't intend for this to take about a year,

but it seemingly is gonna take about a year

because it was October of last year

I started to take the engine apart.

So here we are.

That's it.

That's just the way projects go sometimes.

But it's getting there and it'll eventually be done.

Every project takes pretty much all I've got.

Twice as long as you think it's gonna take.

So I think that a year is pretty good timeline.

Yeah.

Definitely costs more than I thought,

but that's all right.

It's also due to certain choices that you made

versus other choices.

You definitely could have done it for less money,

but you wanted to do it a certain way

and that's the way it went.

Well, yeah, the engine was,

I didn't think the machine work would be that much,

but that's how much machine work is these days.

It's expensive.

Yeah, that's really all I've got for project car updates.

I don't know.

So you have no project car updates?

No, I haven't actually touched any physical car

that's a full scale car I've only been,

I've been working on RC car all week.

Oh yeah?

So I have a new Tamiya, Tamiya every time.

A new Tamiya, Tamiya, the Hornet EVO I picked up,

I don't know, probably three weeks ago,

but finishing that up the past couple of days.

I wanted a new RC car just because I got hooked

when I built that grasshopper a year ago or so,

and I decided that.

You did it to me and I did it right back too.

So I decided I would,

I was going to modify the grasshopper

to make it like, you know, work better.

And then I said, you know what?

I think I want to buy the Hornet EVO

because it's essentially the grasshopper chassis

with a bunch of upgrades to make it work

like a modern RC car.

So instead of upgrading the old style chassis,

I'll keep that one as like my full nostalgia machine

because it runs and drives like my old one.

And this one here is better than

a modified grasshopper would have been

because of all the engineering that I put into the kit.

So the big difference is, the very large difference

is that the grasshopper part of the hopper series of cars,

the name is hopper because they bounce all over the place

because they just have spring shocks

and a solid rear end with independent front end.

But when the suspension collapses in the front,

it changes the camber of the wheels drastically

and the car bump steer is like mad.

The Hornet is the same, but the Hornet EVO

is the new version of it that came out

and it has fully independent suspension

with equal length control arms in the front.

So it works like a real car

and doesn't have massive camber changes through its stroke.

And the rear, instead of being a solid axle

is independent and works just a lot better.

So it's actually pretty amazing how well it works.

It reminds me a lot of,

reminds me a lot of the next gen

that you have the DTO4, I guess that is.

So it works very similarly because it's a modified DTO2,

which is to my chassis code for one of their older Buggies

but it's a modified version of that rear suspension

and engine or motor setup.

So that's why it drives probably similar to your next gen

which is a DTO4 chassis.

I haven't finished the body yet.

I don't wanna run it fully until I've finished the body.

Yeah, and that was basically for the 40th anniversary

of the EVO, of the Hornet.

They came out with the EVO version.

Yeah.

So just to make it feel old.

So the Hornet and the Grasshopper,

like I said, they're the same tub chassis

and the earlier versions of them were very similar

as far as how they handled and drove.

They were just slight modifications

between each, so the cool thing is,

is that all these parts that make the Hornet EVO

could easily be slapped on a Grasshopper kit.

So if you bought a Grasshopper body

and a couple other parts,

you could basically make like a Grasshopper EVO

would be kind of neat to do as well I think.

I think I saw someone had a, there is a kit,

I wasn't aware of it, like does a turbo Grasshopper

that has some hop-up parts for it,

like the 540 maybe came with it or something.

There's three or four Grasshoppers

that are like special editions.

I've never seen it before.

Yeah.

Yeah, and I think even that gearbox,

even like my next gen is a DTO-4

and I think at some point it,

it might even be the DTO-3 gearbox,

but which maybe has roots to the DTO-2,

like it's very, there's parts that they pulled

all the way through to the newest one.

So crossover, which that's a really fun kit to run.

Like, and I bought it because it's nice and modern

and the parts are being made still

and it's more of a basher than I didn't want to

play too hard with my wild one

because it's a little more fragile,

but yeah, still super, super fun.

Like I had mine out the other day.

Mark, we had a holiday at school

so that the public schools were closed

and we went out in the afternoon to the park

and he was riding the scooter around

and I was like, you know what,

I'm gonna bring the RC car there

because it's a nice day.

And I bet nobody's around.

And yep, nobody's around at the park.

So we're driving the RC car around the park

and on the basketball court and tennis courts

and out in the grass and super fun.

We're pleased to do it.

That a big park.

Good place to use it.

Yep, one more space in our backyard.

Yeah, so that's where I'm at.

I need to paint the body.

I need to paint the body and do a couple of other

final adjustments on it,

but it's done otherwise

and I can't wait to go run.

So do updates to come.

Yeah.

The only thing I've gotten, I got a,

I finally opened the box of the Tarmac Works.

It's one of the Mitsubishi trucks they have with the back,

but they did a Liberty Walk livery on it

for the Ken Mary Skyline.

That's the Liberty Walk one

with all the graffiti paint on it.

And I happen to have the mini GT of that

that I bought at the Liberty Walk store

because apparently it was an exclusive at the store.

Maybe you can get it elsewhere.

I'm not sure.

But yeah, I thought it was cool and I put together,

well put those two together

and then I got a little display Lawson's in that scale

to remind me of my trip to Japan.

So that's the scale die cast stuff I've got.

And then as I sit here and I look

and I've got some other RC stuff I have to finish,

but I'm like, that's a wintertime activity

when I don't have things to do on the Volvo.

So that's basically why I haven't touched

any other RC stuff at the moment,

like painting bodies or,

because I've still got that Piero,

Montero, that's the element U-tron kit

that I need to finish the body on it.

But again, it's like, I need to spend time on that

or I can spend time finishing the Volvo.

So I'd rather finish the Volvo at the moment

because all this stuff is like things

that I can do inside, in my basement,

when it's not nice out.

It's probably why I'm building the kit

that I'm building now because it's summertime here

and I don't want to be outside.

Yeah, that's a good reason.

And then I'm looking over in the box too, I've got that,

now I know that I've got a big open area

that's fairly deserted most of the time,

like tennis courts, I'm like, I should rebuild

that FFO2, sorry, the FFO1 I have,

the other one into a runner,

so I can run a front wheel drive around on some pavement.

Yes, you should.

So, other car news?

Another big car news this week?

Do you know where it is?

Like new modern car news?

No, just general car news, enthusiast car news.

I don't think I do.

The designer of the Miata, oh, I was thinking positive,

I guess, and that's not a positive story.

Yeah, yeah, I guess that's, yeah,

I could see where it comes from that, but yeah.

So this man was the,

consider the father of the Miata.

He also designed the FD-77s.

Oh, okay.

So that's a heck of a air of cars to be responsible for.

And what was cool about him was that he was also

still very enthusiastic about it,

like he still went to all the,

like Southern California Miata meets

and he'd go to like JCCS and he would always, you know,

sign cars and memorabilia and hang out with fans.

And he liked to sit in modified Miatas

and like ask you why he did the things he did

and up right up until like before he passed.

So that's, he was a pretty cool, pretty cool guy.

Yeah, that is pretty cool.

Especially, yeah, because you could easily see someone

who designed it be like,

I don't want to talk about that car anymore.

Everybody wants to talk to me about that car

and I'm really annoyed with it, but it is really cool

when somebody is not like that

and they really enjoy that everybody cherishes

the thing that they created

and finds great joy in them.

So that's pretty cool.

We can all hope that, you know,

you can create something like that

and go back to school and become a designer

and then get a job from Asda and you go on your way.

Yeah, exactly.

All right, so yeah.

I promise I'll have more for next week.

I have a disgusting amount of parts sitting here

for three cars.

So I have to, have to, have to get stuff done

because this is the last weekend

of the busy car season starts here.

Next weekend we have the Japanese car show in Williams

and then something else is happening

and then my rallies in the 25th

and then there's something else the first week of November

and she goes and goes and goes and goes.

So I have to get a bunch of stuff done

and I have a big box apart just came today

for the 944.

I have some stuff for the Mercur

and I have to do the air conditioning compressor still

in the Eclipse

and I still shameful of shames

because I haven't been outside,

haven't finished pulling the block out of the Corolla.

So there's just, there's a lot to do

and I want to get that all done.

So next week there'll be some updates

of what all that is.

Yeah, we've got, so this Sunday is the,

there's a Beverly, Beverly Mass, Beverly PD,

the police benefit car show

at Lynch Park.

Our mutual friend we have,

slips that on

and my dad does the music for it.

So I'm probably going to drive his,

since the Volvo's not done

and I didn't get to my mom's speedal yet.

I'll probably drive his Pontiac over form

because he's going to use his vehicle

to take all his DJ equipment over.

So I'm going to take his 65 Pontiac out for a ride

on Sunday.

So that'll be kind of cool.

And then the following weekend

there is a car show

at Salem High School.

Kind of a Halloween peened car show

because it's in Salem,

but it's also the same day as

Japanese Carder's Day at Lars Anderson.

So I'm going to go check that out

instead because I missed it last year

because we were doing,

we had soccer on Sundays

for little kids,

but now it's moved to Saturday

for slightly older kindergarten kids.

So I now have Sunday available

to go to the car show.

And I guess last Sunday

at Lars Anderson they did a retro event

that's kind of like, you know,

I had to say like,

Radwood inspired,

but really anybody can do a retro car show

and I've been threatening to do one

for many, many years

and I never do it.

So shame on me.

But you know, that's like

the type of car show that I

would like to see more of that doesn't,

you know, just,

and the pictures I saw out of it

looked really cool.

And had it not been

the same weekend as NASCAR

I absolutely would have gone.

And hopefully it's not the same weekend.

It was actually earlier in the year

I think and it rained

like a rare rain day

and they moved it to this weekend.

So it looked pretty good.

I hope they do it again.

It was a bunch of cars there

that I wasn't even familiar with.

So that was cool.

Yeah.

All right.

Well, 100% done in a while.

I'm ready for this.

I'm here for this.

All right.

We're going to do a Craig Craig.

Don't tell me.

Who wants to go first?

Being as you're asking,

I'm the only one that can answer.

I guess I should say

I'll go first.

Well, you could say

I will not defer.

I will go first.

Or I want to go first.

So am I reading first?

You'll go first?

All right.

So it's just going to ask that.

What does that mean?

Does that mean you're reading first

or if I'm quizzing you first?

Sure.

Why don't you want to read first?

I'll let you read first.

You're right.

Because I'm usually worse at this than me.

Here we go.

Let's get my turbulence out of the way.

Borsale is this blank,

blank in the most desirable color,

black and gold.

Opportunity knocks in Arizona.

California built blank

spent its whole life in Missouri

now available in Arizona.

L69 V8 HO

with dual snorkel four-barrel carburetor

high-speed manual

Borg-Warner 9-bolt

code GS4

Aussie traction code G80

original paint

one of only 1665

made in blank year

and only one sorry

and one of the only three years

of the dual snorkel L69 V8.

This truly is a rare car.

In blank year,

not many five speeds were made.

Second owner,

this car was purchased

from its original owner of blank years.

Car is in beautiful condition

and interior is almost perfect.

Mileage is documented

and a little over 25,000.

All tires new last year.

This is a extremely collectible boy.

Original everything with little mileage.

Very rare.

Cars of this rarity will only continue

to increase in value.

Get it while it's cheap.

And I'll tell you, it is not cheap.

Okay.

All right.

So it's GM product.

Did it say it was built in California

or sold in California?

Spent its whole life in Missouri.

Is that what?

Not positive.

And now available in Arizona.

Oh.

Okay.

Black and gold.

I mean, the five speeds really throw me.

You know, I want to say it's a

it's a Trans Am, but I don't know if it's a five speed.

So I will throw something out to you

and you are correct

but you're thinking of the wrong car.

Okay.

All right.

Oh, okay.

Okay.

Do you know what I mean?

No, you're correct.

So it's the fear of the wrong car.

Yeah.

So it's a fear.

It's not a fear.

Oh, I'm correct.

It's not a fear.

I didn't say it wasn't the Trans Am.

It's not a Trans Am of the wrong car.

Yeah.

The black and gold is what I'm tripping out.

I'm thinking it's a bandit car,

but I don't think they're correct.

Five speeds.

You are.

Correct.

They're only five speeds.

That's why I don't want to give you the win

because you're only halfway there.

Okay.

Because you're thinking of the

the wrong car is in your head.

But it is a Trans Am.

Really?

So based on that.

Yeah.

There we go.

So it's a third gen.

Yeah.

It's an early third gen.

Okay.

Well, so that's what's

L69.

Okay.

Which is a 305 I think

because the car is a five speed.

And I think only the 305 came with a five speed.

But it's an early one.

Okay.

So 85.

So it's still a four barrel

operator.

It's not legit yet.

Okay.

I was like kind of think I'm like,

I was split.

I'm like, is this a 70s Trans Am

or a third gen?

But I'm like, I don't know what the L69 is.

That sounds like a

earlier V8.

So they really threw me for a loop there

by using the L69 and not just calling it

a 305.

Yeah, for sure.

305 would have been like, yeah,

it's a third gen.

He had may have said 305

and I may not have said it

because I would have also given it away.

Okay.

Yeah.

I mean, all the other stuff

when you say like positive traction

and all that stuff,

you're like, all right,

I'm just very clean.

So.

Yeah.

It is not affordable though.

It is $27,950.

Man, what do they want for this thing?

Bring 85 Pontiac Trans Am.

That.

You know,

I just saw an 89 LX

Notchback Fox body

mint, mint, mint, mint, mint

here in PBD on Craigslist.

Ad wasn't good enough for this,

but 30 grand.

I can ask whatever they want.

So, I don't know.

Maybe these cars aren't that much.

All right.

All right, I'm listening.

Let's, let's give this one a try.

I'll, I'll read this one to you.

Okay.

Here is a really nice

blank, blank, blank in bronze.

Color code 62.

Rebuilt 1592 CC engine.

Brakes front end with new carpets interior.

If I should pay any new tires and windows hard top.

Upgraded a fully synchronized transmission.

Refinished wood steering wheel.

Recone bumpers and over riders.

Fuel tanks, plural,

have been cleaned and sealed with PRR 15.

Also has a brand new Weber 32,

32, 36 carburetor.

Drive it home.

I think it's a 1907.

I don't know if that's enough for you.

One MGB.

1969 MGB.

So close.

Wow.

Small roadster, not an MGB.

What was the engine size?

1500.

You'd be really smart if you got this.

1592.

So it's a Healy Sprite.

What was all of these cars fit the same description?

Not quite.

They're all like the stays, shares,

the same engine, the same parts, the same things.

I don't know which one would have dual tanks.

That's the only one that's really tripping me up.

I said a Sprite, I said MGB.

1500 is actually too small for an MGB, I think,

but it would be a Sprite or a Midget or...

Yeah, smart thing here is not all that big.

You'd have to be really smart to get the 2000s.

I was like, yeah, probably.

You're going to be so mad when you find out.

Isn't it?

Actually, no, I'm actually already mad about it.

I mean, sometimes it feels like this podcast is in the cone of silence.

So it's a Sunbeam time, it's a Sunbeam albine.

Okay.

So, yeah.

Yes, sure.

Yeah, I get it.

You'd be really smart if you got the...

Yeah, get smart.

Yeah.

Yes, most...

That's very...

There's deep trivia too that I probably wouldn't have gotten.

Because that show is not exactly what I would call topical at this moment in time in 2025.

So...

I did watch it.

It's not, but I watched it recently.

But I know you watched it.

But that's beside the point and should have got it.

But like I said, that's the issue with those cars of that country and that era

that that description was not wrong for almost any of those except for the double tank part.

So, and my lack of really obscure knowledge of obscure British cars

made me not know which one had a dual tank.

So now I know.

If I want to buy a small British car to go drive far with, I'll buy a tiger

or an alpine because it has two tanks.

It's a really pretty looking car.

Amazing.

It has a bronze color and it has the factory hard top.

Oh.

All right.

You ready?

It's cool.

How many?

$10,500, but yeah.

It doesn't seem too bad.

$10,500.

All right.

Yeah.

$10,000 for a decent clean running cars.

Reasonable I think now in 2025.

All right.

Here we have a blank all blank price drop blank in original preserved condition

65,000 miles four speed strong Buick three 50 V eight

Lily Holly fuel injection manual drum brakes and manual stealing steering

three quarter ton GVW new Falcon MT tires straight rust free body except for a

dent in the hood.

No AC previously from Idaho acquired from a California collector.

I've owned it for two years in Arizona.

Strong runner.

No rust camper shell can go with or without gas on the hood from backing

into my gate opener asking blank or best offer.

Hmm.

Interesting.

Camper shell.

You look three 50.

So it said.

Hmm.

Oh.

We talk in.

We're talking like a rain early Land Rover.

We are not talking about we're not talking about shell on an early Land Rover

with a different vehicle with a Buick V eight, Buick three 50 V eight.

I think the three 15 was in the Land Rovers.

Oh, okay.

Man.

Camper shell and Buick because I didn't.

I don't know of any trucks that Buick made.

Maybe there's some obscure truck that they made.

Or this but as far as I know as the engine that came in this

Buick V eight, Buick three 50 V eight.

I think the three 15 was in the Land Rovers.

Oh, okay.

Man.

Camper shell and Buick because I didn't I don't know of any

truck that came in this engine swapped.

Yeah, I just just looked it up to confirm and it is.

Yes, this is how it's.

Wow.

It's 350 cubic inch 5.7 liter Dauntless V eight.

So all right V eight four speed.

Camper shell.

My goodness.

What would that be?

Your other engine options.

Your other engine options would have been a 230 inch

coordinator in line six or a 360 cubic inch V eight.

All right.

So is this like you are significantly closer than you were

with the Land Rover?

Maybe.

All right.

So we've got off let's see off brands international.

Oh, no, that's the name of the pickup truck here.

I guess that is it international harvester.

International harvester is the company.

Oh, okay.

Okay.

Oh, so we're at a.

Okay.

So then this is a.

Oh, this has been like a Jeep that early Jeep pickup truck

with a camper shell.

Just everything else process of elimination.

That's all that was left.

Yes.

It's a Jeep Jeep Gladiator.

Yeah.

Well, I was just trying to.

Yeah.

I was just trying to think of I see I get really lost with

the obscure stuff like that from the 60s where that was

like, especially it was like Jeep was doing all kinds of

weird stuff.

They had a couple of their own.

And then the AMC.

You talked about this before.

In this particular vehicle.

Which is the Gladiator.

What a nightmare.

I mean, just, I mean, can you imagine even like now

at least you have the computers to try to figure out

what parts go on what vehicle.

But I can't imagine.

I'm sure it was listed properly in the catalogs.

Paper catalogs.

Like somebody telling you.

Yeah, but somebody's like, yeah, I have the V8 one.

You know, like, well, which V8 do you have?

Anyway, eleven thousand five hundred dollars.

It's actually my neighbor's truck.

I see it sitting in his yard.

And I dig it.

Not going to buy it, but I dig it.

It's pretty cool.

Yeah.

I already got a cool truck, so.

All right.

Yeah.

Let's see.

Ready for this one?

All right.

Blank blank blank runs and drives,

but engine and transmission both very tired.

Need to be redone.

360 FE cruise, automatic three speed auto.
