That I would buy, I've been it's a nice, clean car.
It looks like it's all factory stock white walls.
I don't know why a lot of donkeys being moved in that a 1971 international scout Conrad international scout.
So that's the Bronco, early Bronco looking thing.
Yeah, I Don't know.
I don't know that put much about maybe 15, 15 only because the Broncos have gone crazy.
Well, this is a fully restored.
I'm thinking 1145.
He's saying 45, what?
11?
54 6 that's crazy.
Well, because they're, they're, they're taking off just like because the Bronco took off.
It's sucking them on the way up.
I've seen a couple.
Well yeah, and they're much more rare than the Bronco.
I didn't want to buy it anyways.
Alright, now this is.
This is All.
There's a couple of them here.
Let's go first of all with the 1946 Ford pickup truck, mm-hmm 1946, fully restored.
It's got some really ugly colors on it.
It's kind of a dark blue and yellow With yellow wheels, yellow grill.
It just wrong.
But that Pacecar purple Corvette that pretty much ugly.
Uh-huh, this is a 46 Ford pickup truck.
What do you think that sold for 52?
I'll say 40, 32, 178, 50, because you're gonna have to repaint it, but whatever didn't want that Okay now here.
Here's the, the cream of the cream de la creme, de la creme.
This is a 1960 Buick Invicta oh that's Angle eyes.
Yeah Well, kind of this is a station wagon, oh man.
I've never seen one.
It's priceless.
I've never seen it, I can't be on it.
It's big.
A 1960 Buick.
Invicta.
It's a station wagon, it's a two-tone.
32 three, three, three holer.
You said 16 Mars 18, 18, 32, 15, 750.
There it is.
Take a look at, oh my god, and it's a wagon.
It's a wagon fit in today's garage.
Look at it, look at that thing.
No, are you gorgeous?
tail fins on the front oh.
My gosh.
Well, that's the.
That's the bargain.
I don't know where you'd have to have a barn, or you got that, so it won't fit in the garage.
No, it's not.
What is that?
25 feet long must be.
It's not only too long, it's probably close to too wide.
Oh, all that, no three-point tears on that you know there was a car here.
I don't.
Is it still in here?
It was a Ferrari.
The Ferrari California is back in the corner.
Is it back in the corner?
I believe there is that Ferrari California.
It's a beautiful car, but man is it big, it's, that's a big car, and you know this.
This Lamborghini here is a big car, it's a big car.
I gotta put all that power in well, I know, and I know that you know it's a rear engine car or mid-engine car, but still, and they're big.
Yeah, they take a blood of room, yeah.
I was kind of surprised that that's what kind of took me back on that anyway.
Um, here's one for you, by the way.
Wow, because we're here at Gulf Coast Auto Shield.
The car social and it's the car social is socializing.
Mm-hmm.
It's very good, and I think the BMW club just arrived there here.
They're here car networking.
Yeah, these are basically high-end cars and there is a beautiful red Ferrari.
Is that a California as well, do you?
know, I almost want to think that's an SP, but I'm not Ferrari, enough to know I'm not.
I'm not either, but boy, that's a nice car, that's a beautiful car.
It's low and sleek.
It is well, I think I almost everything here's low and sleek.
Yeah, is this?
Is this car on camera, mr Mars, the Lamborghini.
It was earlier.
Okay, now we put it on there and then, and then we have.
We have the Audi, the R8, and they got the Tesla.
Is that a three model?
Three, yeah, I think.
And we've got the Cadillac.
Now the Cadillac back there.
It doesn't have V on the side of it, no, but boy, it sure sounds like one, because he was moving it around earlier.
Notice, they parked it the furthest away from me.
Yes, I know that.
Did you look inside of it?
I did not.
They won't let me know.
They kept pushing me away.
No, they didn't either.
That that's not.
That that's not the way it works here.
Here's more BMW showing up, yeah.
Yeah, so the back parking lot.
We're in the back by the way of Gulf Coast Auto Shield.
Right here on the.
This is considered the West Sam Houston tollway.
I think it turns.
The address turns to the South Sam Houston tollway Down the street, but it's not here.
Yeah, Anyway we're just out.
We're just out the 59 Southwest freeway.
Yep, we're in the shop where all the action happens.
Yeah, seven tips.
This is kind of a Christmas thing, so I thought this was kind of cool.
This is from Hemmings.
Regardless of what projects they might be working on, there are a couple of easy ways to look for gifts that car crazy people will really Appreciate.
Since we're in the month of December, I thought this was appropriate.
Follow these seven tips and you'll likely find the perfect thing.
What vehicle is in their workshop?
There are two sides to this one what projects they are working on and what is taking up space inside the workspace.
The vehicles they work on are typically dear to them for various reasons, and fun trinkets or doodads For example, key chains with images of that vehicle or low hanging fruit, so to speak, cool banners or large prints of their ride Just ask the year-making model, they'll be happy to tell you Make any shop feel more homey, assuming that they have wall space.
I mean, I've always had stuff on the walls in my garage.
Yep, you do too, I do your homey.
Homey the clown, you guys stuff in your studio.
I did.
You got stuff in your back fence.
I've got.
I've got more stuff that's not displayed.
Look around at the vehicles in their garage and what space exists for potential decoration and you have two solid avenues to cool memorable gifts.
Even if you choose a neon clock so they know when to come inside for dinner, I help solve a problem.
Speaking of solving problems, what does your favorite car person complain about At the end of the evening when they come in from the shop?
Lack of space, dirty benches or gloves that just don't get the job done?
All those pain points are gift-giving Opportunities in disguise, and I think that I've mentioned to mr Mars John Rawson.
We're gonna get him on and talk about some more Christmas gifts and I bet you he could help in this department.
All those pain points, gift-giving opportunities in disguise, complaints about lack of space or dirty areas and tools might mean that an organizational gift to be appreciated.
It could be a simple set of plastic trays in various sizes.
Believe that or not, it's a rare DIYer Wants to pay a premium for personal protective equipment.
Snag a premium pair of safety glasses or by a custom earplug kit or a nice Set of noise reducing over the ear muffs, you know.
Why bet you?
John will sell you a gift card at Gulf Coast Otter Shield to get their car prepped there's another one.
D battery powered tools are getting done right.
Inexpensive compared to how much luxury they can provide.
For a DIYer, that's another good gift to get.
Who does love a gift that is built or created just for them.
Old factory service manuals typically have a really fun line drawings, line drawings and cutaway diagrams throughout that are easy to scan and put on a nice frame.
Mm-hmm, that a good idea.
I think that's a great idea, absolutely.
Maybe a frame that you make.
Make sure to find a manual that applies to the year making model of the vehicle that your favorite person owns.
Pull the right page and the diagram will become an art piece that fits into most homes.
Buy them a project.
If they need another project.
You'd think that last thing.
A car person to one is another project, but trust us on this one.
According to Hemmings, if you want to go full scale, they won't stop you, but a desktop model or tabletop trinket that requires assembly is More what we had in mind your time, that old triumph that was in Hemmings for 600 bucks.
That's a putter together.
Oh, there's that, or well, did back together a model car by a plastic one.
Yeah, and put it together or a vowel or something.
Yeah, they still make those, believe it or not.
You know those things are expensive.
Knife, have you looked at a price of a car?
No, oh my good, we were kids there, you know.
A couple bucks, yeah, five bucks at the most, for a water, now 20 or more.
Wow, scale models, remote controlled cars or miniature engines.
I'm in fact I've seen some miniature metal engines work, that they run well, they don't run, run but they turn all the mechanicals in them?
Yeah, I saw they're pretty amazing, like a hundred bucks or something.
The old coupon book, john, write down a few.
Help bleed the brakes coupon.
See, here you go.
When you're ready to bleep, breed the brakes, I'll come out there and help you and pump it, pump it.
Cathy used to do that with baking.
She would give you an empty pie pan with a note Fill it up at any time, and people would bring their pipe hands back to her as you make them a pie.
That's a great idea Apple, cherry, whatever put down on the list for this year.
No, you got it.
You got to have the gift.
Yeah, it's gonna be a gift.
Yeah, Jeff gives out the ziploc bags with notes in them and other things.
And other things in the ziploc bag Edibles.
Okay, there's that, let's see you came to look at this.
Likely, your loved one is into the type of stuff you find on this website, meaning Hemings.
Why not give them more of that?
A Haggerty drivers club membership?
I mean, there's all sorts of gift ideas that are out of the ordinary that you can either find online.
I Like the coupon idea.
That's pretty good yeah are you yawning again?
We kept you up.
Yeah, apparently I was up late last night you know, some of this stuff is pretty good ideas for you know, when you got a little bit of time but if you don't have time.
So Christmas Eve, eve is on the 2030s and Saturday and we we talked about we're going to do some Serious last minute gifts like, oh my god, I gotta go get something right now.
Ideas, oh, you've got, you've got some.
Yeah, we're gonna.
We're gonna talk about it during that program and we got a white elephant coming up, so could be stuff going on there.
Well, that white elephant, that white elephant, that that's our deal.
That's our deal, yeah our Christmas lunch, but it could be correlated, you don't know.
Really I thought we were gonna go to loopies?
Well, yeah, but Never mind.
I guess I'm lost.
Yeah, we're going to loopies for Food.
Lost, but he's making good time exchanging the white elephant.
Oh, the white elephant, yeah, yeah the white elephant stuff yeah, it could be cars related also.
Yeah, that's what you do right there Mars right.
See that camera that boys were working on.
I saw that I was watching you need to go and talk to him and find out what it is.
Yeah, it's, it's, it's expensive, I can tell you that for sure.
Well, that shouldn't be any problem for you.
No, it's.
It's that kind of expensive.
No no yeah, yeah, we'll go ahead.
There's no, there's not a problem, that's all about you.
Just push them off the ramp.
Yeah, be cheaper to hire him probably.
Well and he's filming that Ferrari for sure and he's a young guy who wouldn't?
Reminds me your son.
David, david's sons are that age, yeah.
Well, one in particular, ryan they want Christmas still in high school infinity what they want.
Christmas stuff for their infinity.
Hey dad, Can you buy me a new set of wheels and tires?
I Never finished telling you the story about why I had to buy new wheels for the Corvette.
So the Somebody found the alarm.
Uh-huh, that's the rest of these is going off so the left rear wheel Was leaking air and took it up to discount.
They dismounted it and decided that it wasn't the tire that was leaking.
It wasn't the valve stem that was leaking.
It was the actual wheel itself that had corroded on the inside the bead of the tire.
Not surprised.
Yeah, I had no clue.
I've never heard of such a thing.
Well, I taught to the guy at Cal chrome.
I thought I'm gonna just send them out there, get the wheels fixed, have them re-chromed, blah, blah, blah.
Well, as it turns out that you know if you ever watched them put new tires on your rims, they have a wick that they dip in the water and the right to lubricant.
It's a soap.
It's supposed to be a little bit yeah well, that moisture gets in there and it doesn't get out, and it has corroded the bead on the inside of the wheels.
They seal it in there, so it seals the moisture in there.
I didn't think of that, yeah, and so the way to really Do it, the right way, is use a lubricant, and now I've noticed that discount is actually using this looks like white grease lubricant to remount the tire, but at any rate it has corroded the wheels.
I think the wheels on it are probably I don't know, I'm guessing 10 years old or so.
Oh, at least.
And so it just not worth getting them chrome.
So I went.
Have you ever tried to find a set of wheels that are what you really want?
Too many choices.
How do you know what you want?
Because once you start looking at all the wheels that fit your car, you go oh my.
God, now they're whistling at your wheels.
Yeah, how do you know what is attractive to you?
But there's so many choices for my Corvette, it's unbelievable.
I mean, it's infinity and beyond.
So I thought, got out to JC Whitney and picked out a pair.
I did find a set of wheels and I'm not going to tell you anything more about them, but I have them ordered.
They should arrive today, and I ordered them out of New York.
I found them on eBay.
They're brand new.
Okay, there's a dealer in New York that carries the widow.
There's a dealer in New York that carries these wheels and I couldn't find them anywhere else.
So I ordered the wheels, but I was really leery of them because the size is a plus one, okay, and so that means that the fronts are 18s, the rears are 19s.
Well, they're staggered.
They're staggered, but they're still plus one, plus one because they were staggered in 01.
Okay, that throws a whole wrench in the works.
So now you got to buy new tires.
I didn't say no.
I didn't say that.
I said those were the wheels that were originally on it.
You weren't paying attention.
You know you've given me such a hard time this morning, so I'm going to give it right back.
Mr Yawner, Obviously we've kept him up today, but at any rate, so I will hopefully display them for you next week.
After you, bring them by here and let them prep them, yeah.
Well, I'm going to bring the car here and then let them coat them, put the wheels and then they're going to mountain balance.
I guess I don't.
I don't see a balancing machine here, but and I don't see a mounting.
Yeah, I was going to say I don't see them.
Now they have these guys that do all that remote and the guy shows.
Oh, that's, right, the truck yeah.
And he's got the mountain balance equipment in the truck.
Tough thing about that is that these run are the tires on your Corvette run flat, of course.
Yeah.
They can be a struggle to mount correctly.
Well, they didn't have any problem Mounting them over?
Yeah, but it's because the sidewalls are so stiff.
No, they just take a little extra care, that's all.
There shouldn't be any real problem on it.
They managed to do it, but it's a different process than you would say.
For instance, the tire on that steel wheel.
I can tell you that yeah.
Yeah, so and the wheel business.
Oh my gosh, it's amazing the number of aftermarket wheels that are being purchased every day.
Matter of fact, this guy bought the wheels from in New York.
I think we're going to have him on.
I talked to him about it.
He's a very personable guy and the nice thing about it is when you talk to him, you're talking to the owner of the company that is an aftermarket dealer, aftermarket wheel dealer, so he's got the skinny on all of it and how to do it.
I did not realize that the offset on aftermarket wheels, along with the actual size of the wheel, not the diameter, not what you mount the tire on the outside, because you can see that on the tire, but the actual size of the wheel can be found behind the front.
You have to take them off and look back there and it's all stamped in the wheel.
I did not know that.
On the back plate, the offset, all of it's back there, of course, the cheap wheels, the Chinese wheels that I have on there now it's in Chinese, it's not.
The offset is not on there.
It shows where the offset is supposed to be.
It's called ET.
I don't know what that stands for, but at any rate I learned a lot through this buying process and it was painful.
Well, wheels are fun.
We ought to have them on the show we're going to.
We're going to have them on the show?
I don't know what that is.
You weren't paying attention.
He wasn't again.
I was busy coughing.
Do you have some sort of lung infection?
Hopefully not.
Yeah, just checking.
I know a guy.
He's given me a hard time today so I thought, well, I'm just going to give it back to him.
We can do that.
We're okay.
Is that you on again?
His meds are kicking in.
Are the meds kicking in?
Is that what it?
is no meds here.
No, meds.
Other than the blood thinners.
Blood thinners.
Jeff, he's on blood thinners.
Good for him.
He's special Mars.
You haven't said two words in the past half hour.
I'm not getting in this conversation Because David keeps turning his mic on he does you need to keep your hands on?
Is there a reason that you've inserted this into your microphone?
Yes, because I'm tired of you griping at me for making noise.
Every time I have to get up Just saying it's all my fault.
It's funny.
It turns around on me, doesn't it?
And he gets to buy another.
And I've got nobody arguing with me on this.
What?
And then he gets to buy a new device.
Yeah, buy something else.
It works, though, I guess it does.
Have you noticed that we're at the end of the hour?
At the end of the hour, we've managed to BS our way through this hour we missed auto history what On purpose Thank?
You.
No, we're going to get to auto history.
I'm going to write it down.
Somewhere.
Somewhere.
Well, it's written down here but we're paying any attention to it and I'm going to leave the last hour in David Ainsley's hands.
Oh, you are, you're going to take an hour now.
I thought it was only 30 minutes.
No, I'm going to leave it 10.
Oh 10.
I have to be there by 10.
30.
Oh, I see.
Okay, that's where I got confused.
That's not the only place I got confused.
I was going to say dazed and confused.
Oh Lord, All right.
We are coming to you today from the Gulf Coast Auto Shield Car Social and everybody is here socializing and we've got another hour of cool cars.
Come on, we've got an hour of this show left and we invite you to stop on by.
