This week proves they’re practically a genre of automotive news all by themselves. We start by sorting through a big stack of safety and compliance issues across major brands, from Ford truck and SUV problems like wiper arm failures and trailer braking or signal concerns to GM’s backup camera glitches and even scarier talk of rear wheel lockup risk on diesel trucks and SUVs. If you follow automotive recalls, new car reliability, or just want to know what could affect your daily drive, you’ll leave with a clearer picture of what’s happening and why it matters.Then we switch gears into pure fun with “Guess What It Sold For,” pulling recent online sale results and putting our instincts to the test. We bounce from an affordable 1968 Chevrolet Corvair and a scruffy 1967 Mustang convertible to a classy 1946 Cadillac Series 62, a 1972 Dodge Challenger, and a 1993 Ford Ranger that somehow still brings real money. The collector car market is equal parts logic and emotion, and you can hear that push and pull in every guess.The jaw-dropper is a 1963 Chevrolet Corvette split-window “Fuely” that sells for $235,000, which leads to a real conversation about numbers-matching originality, rare mechanical fuel injection, and why some cars stop being transportation and start becoming rolling history. We also hit a quick Texas cruise-in and car show calendar, plus two big culture notes: Scout’s delayed return under Volkswagen and Ford replacing Carol Shelby street names with modern nameplates.Subscribe for more car talk, share this with a friend who loves auctions or hates recalls, and leave a review with the one sale price that shocked you most.Be sure to subscribe for more In Wheel Time Car Talk!The Lupe' Tortilla RestaurantsLupe Tortilla in Katy, Texas Gulf Coast Auto ShieldPaint protection, tint, and more!Disclaimer: This post contains affiliate links.
