BendPak is a shop-equipment brand known for garage tools and compressed-air-related equipment. In this segment, BendPak is credited with providing a compressor used to run other garage tools.
They’re talking about cars that will be shown at an upcoming Mecum auction. The focus is on what these cars might sell for and which ones are especially valuable.
The Lamborghini Miura is a classic supercar from Lamborghini with the engine mounted behind the driver. It’s famous for its iconic design and for being an early example of the modern “exotic” formula. The podcast mentions the SV version as a notable variant.
The Porsche 935 is a special Porsche made for racing. It’s based on the 911 but built and tuned for track use. People talk about it because it has a strong racing history and many notable versions.
The Pantera is a sports car with a mid-mounted engine, made to be fast and exciting. It’s known for a bold, distinctive shape. The podcast mentions it because it’s a recognizable classic model.
They’re talking about how rare supercars are selling for huge money at auctions, and whether those prices will keep going up. They also discuss when owners might choose to sell.
The Ferrari Enzo is a famous, very rare supercar. Because it’s so desirable, people pay huge money for it at auctions, and its price has climbed a lot over the years.
The Maserati MC12 is a rare, special supercar Maserati made in small numbers. The hosts are basically saying it’s valuable because it’s limited and tied to racing, not just because it’s fast.
Homologation is when a race organization officially approves a car for competition. Usually it means the manufacturer has to build a certain number of street versions first.
Company
Broad Arrow auction
Broad Arrow is an auction group that sells rare collector cars. The hosts are saying one of these cars showed up at a big auction event before.
The McLaren Speedtail is a very rare supercar made for maximum speed. It uses a design based on the 720S, but it has a different body shape to help it cut through the air better. The podcast also compares it to the idea of how you sit in the car.
The McLaren 720S is a high-end supercar designed to be very fast. It’s known for its modern design and performance-focused engineering. The podcast mentions it because the Speedtail is described as being based on the 720S idea.
The McLaren F1 is a very expensive, very fast sports car made by McLaren. It’s famous for how the driver sits in the middle, with the car designed around that layout. People bring it up because it’s one of the most iconic supercars ever made.
The Gordon Murray T.50 is a high-performance supercar made by Gordon Murray’s company. It’s designed to be special and limited, so it’s not easy to buy. The podcast brings it up as a favorite option if you can’t get an F1.
Car
Gordon Murray T-50
The Gordon Murray T-50 is a very expensive, high-end supercar. The hosts mention it to compare auction prices and explain why a different rare car could be a better “get into” option.
The Plymouth Hemi GTX is a classic muscle car that collectors chase because it has a powerful Hemi V8 and a rare combination of drivetrain and options. The hosts are basically saying that the exact engine, transmission, and rear-gear setup (and the build sheet) are what make this one special.
The “410 rear gear” is the gearing in the back of the car that changes how the car feels. A 4.10 ratio usually makes it pull harder, which is why collectors care about it.
A “4-speed manual” means you shift the gears yourself with a clutch. Collectors often care a lot because the manual setup is part of the car’s original build and value.
“Hemi” is a nickname for a special engine design Chrysler used. It’s known for making strong power, and collectors pay attention to it because it’s part of what makes these cars desirable.
The VIN number is like the car’s unique ID. It can help confirm what the car is, but the hosts say you may still need the build paperwork to know the exact options.
A build sheet is paperwork that shows how the car was originally built. For rare cars, it’s the best way to confirm the exact engine and options that make that particular example valuable.
A hood scoop is a raised opening on the hood. It can help feed air to the engine, and collectors care if it matches the car’s original build.
Term
air pollution shit
He’s talking about emissions rules that forced car makers to change engines and parts. Those changes can make later cars feel very different from the earlier versions collectors prefer.
“E-bodies” is an enthusiast term for a Mopar group of cars from the muscle-car era. The point here is that those cars were getting a lot of interest and high bids at auction.
Term
V-bodies
“V-bodies” is an enthusiast shorthand for a specific Mopar car platform. It helps people talk about which generation and type of car they mean—important because some of these cars are worth more than others.
“A-bodies” is a Mopar enthusiast label for a particular group of cars that share the same basic platform. People use it because different groups can have very different collector value.
“318s” means cars that have a 318-cubic-inch V8 engine. Collectors care about which engine a car has because it can change how rare and valuable it is.
The BMW 3 Series is a popular compact car model from BMW. In the podcast, they’re talking about older 318 versions and trying to find one with the original four-speed transmission. They’re basically saying the exact original setup matters to collectors.
“Four speed” means the car has a manual gearbox with four forward gears. He’s saying original manual versions are getting harder to find because people changed them over the years.

Gambling problem, call 1-800-Gambler. Hey, what's up? How are you doing, buddy? You had a trip
plan, a little work, a little fun? Yeah, I mean, you know, first and foremost,
yes, I obviously got into Canada and got back home safely. It's always an issue. But yeah,
immigration this time was extremely easy. I went up and I did a little signing up there and then
went to Long Island the next day and little footnote. When people ask me about New York,
I can't say it's disgusting anymore because Long Island was fabulous. What a great little place.
What a great community. It was completely the antithesis of everything that I described New
York as. But Car Show was awesome. Richard Rollins tried to freaking alcohol poisoning me two nights
in a row. Obviously, Kin-Dig tried to do it too. But the turnout was great. The cars were fabulous.
It was neat to see a jet go up close and get in it and do all that kind of stuff.
What was the name of the event? Which show was it?
It was the Hempstown something. It's the spring. It's called the May Dustoff.
It was something that I missed last year. They have an event in September, which we're going to go
back to. But I missed it because Gage had a football game. This time, it looks like I may be
able to go. But it was so much fun, man. It really was. It was a community thing. I've got to meet
a couple of the firefighters that I shook hands with right when the World Trade Center went down
and they brought pictures of 25 years ago. What people have to understand is that when you're
a professional wrestler, conversations with your fans are a lot different than the normal
autograph signing. You hear a lot of things about life and how they have dealt with being
entertained by wrestling throughout the years and it's a family thing. It's an emotional
roller coaster. Though the show was fun, it was very taxing. I had a great time, met some
wonderful people, met some great kids. Most importantly, I saw some cool cars. Didn't see
as many as I wanted to, but it was awesome. Sometimes some of those events, it's kind of
a whirlwind thing where you kind of go in and just kind of get shuffled to what you need to do.
Obviously, your responsibilities and then leave. We've done this in the past. You've
done it as well with even things like SEMA and different events. Karola and I did CES years ago.
It was the first time I was at CES. I don't even know if I can't remember going again,
but it was just one of these things like scoop you up at the airport, security brings you in,
you do your thing, and then we got whisked away and then I was like, I didn't even get to see
anything. I had to get to CES or anything. Sometimes you can plan around it, but a lot of
times it's just like you're just on such a tight schedule that there's not much you can do.
That and then when you don't have the schedule completely lined out in front of you before you
again in your hand, you really don't know and you're trusting everybody based upon,
you know, I'm doing a podcast so I got to hang up on you. I love you.
But it's the first time I've worked with these people and they had their idea of how things
should go and quite obviously a person such as myself has his own idea. We'll meet in the middle
for the next event, but at the end of the day, if the negative was me sitting for five hours and
spending time with everybody, there's no bad in that. If I got to judge a car show,
you got to give me 20 minutes to go look at the car. That's first and foremost why I'm there.
Yeah. I went up a couple of times to a great show at Syracuse, New York, Syracuse Nationals.
We went up there and we did some podcasting and stuff a few times. I did that with
Aaron Hagar and Brad Fanshawe and Pete Shaporis when Pete was still with us.
Oh, Pete, I haven't heard that name in a while.
Yeah. So you remember that podcast Shift and Steer? We started that with Pete and Pete was
on it with us for years. We really kind of did it because Pete wanted to come in and tell stories
and we were doing it from Brad's office. So Pete would drive in from Pomona to Orange County
and he was like, this is my favorite hour of the week now. He's just like, get a little older
and I've done so much stuff and we just wanted to have him come in and have him just tell stories.
So we flew a few times. We traveled a few times and for me, what I got out of that was
definitely getting closer with Pete, but we went to Syracuse, New York and Pete was
was ill for a little while and was doing much better and was just very, very living clean
and eating salads and doing his thing. And his wife was so amazing. She's keeping him on track.
And we did the show in Syracuse. We went back to the hotel. Everybody was just kind of hanging
it out, grabbing a dinner and it was getting a little late and Brad had laughed, Aaron laughed,
everybody laughs. So Pete and I sitting there and he goes, come sit with me for a minute. He goes,
I've been so good on everything that I've been doing. I'm allowed to have one cocktail. I want it
with you. Will you please sit with me and just have one cocktail? And I say, yes, let's milk it
for all its work. Let's have that one cocktail. And he orders cocktail. We must have sat there for
22 and a half hours. And the stories he told and some of that stuff has popped up on the
podcast over the years, but there's definitely stuff that can't go on the podcast. The biggest
story that was told when we, when all of us and CavDog was there, the main subject matter of the
stories we were telling were based on that Saudi trip. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. I remember that. What
a shit show of a trip, right? Oh my God. Your statement. And I'm sure there was way more than
we've ever even said or you've even said on the air. But yeah, but I didn't realize that
Richard's, most of Richard's stuff got destroyed on the transport back, you know, and, and, and
what's so funny, Dave still had the video. Dave did a selfie video where the, his customers, I
think it was a Goldwing went up on stage. It was a million and a half dollar or whatever it was,
the bill was, and he got offered a lot of money for it. And he was explaining that his, his seller,
here we go again, he's explaining that his seller didn't want to get rid of the car.
And I walked behind and I'm like, you are crazy because in that setting,
as you remember, we only sold two vehicles. Yeah.
So back up a little bit and explain what that, what that event was. It was, it was, it was a
little odd, but it was just kind of like. Well, it was, you know, a hundred of the top builders
in the world, right? We're brought together and not only was it kind of a festival of car coolness,
but there was an auction associated with it. And I think it was worldwide.
Oh, that was the auction house worldwide auction. And, and they, they called up like you and Chris
Jacobs and all these like automotive personalities and celebrities and it said everybody come out
Brotsman had a lot to do with it. Yeah. But Brotsman was, was making calls on it. Yeah,
he called us as well. We just couldn't go, but yeah. It was, hey, the concept was fabulous,
right? And it was right in the beginning of them bringing in Western talent, right? The big push
for, you know, the, the Prince to change the dynamic of entertainment there. And they brought
Pitbull out for a concert that had fricking unbelievable amount of people there. But I think
that was kind of in the beginning of that was, you know, when WWE was doing their thing, you know,
all this stuff and all the different Western entertainment that's brought out there. And so
you can only imagine what it looked like when we got there because they constructed the entire site
in the middle of the fricking desert. There was nothing there. And what an absolute debacle,
whether it was the shipment of the vehicles or the fact that the vehicles only got there,
trickled in on the day that, that the event started. So you're sitting in there in a boot
and there's nothing in your boot, nothing, no merch, no car, no nothing. So the biggest, I mean,
I'm not going to complain because I didn't fall into this category, but there were a lot of people
that had their vehicles completely destroyed, whether it be in the shipping container, whether
it be the lack of ability for them to transport them once it hit the ground in Saudi. But I mean,
it, and these were the top builders with their top cars. And it was, it was horrible. Just take
into consideration that it took eight months for me to get my car back. Yeah, I was going to say
some got lost and good because they were thinking all of these cars were going to sell and then
nothing sold and everything had to be shipped back and that doubled the cost of everything and the
timing. And it's just like, yeah, what a, what a crazy, what a crazy event. I should have been,
you know, I should have used a little foreshadowing taken into consideration. You got a big giant
Jewish guy who's scary looking, selling a car called the demon. And it turns out that, you know,
it's kind of against their culture. Yeah, it's just not against each other. Yeah. Right. So don't
you think they should have found out that information before we loaded all these vehicles?
But it's a good payday for a lot of people. And it was one hell of an experience to talk about.
But man, what a, what a debacle. Yeah. Crazy event. Crazy event for sure.
Well, speaking of auctions, there's an auction coming up and let's, we'll take a quick break

All right, thanks. We are back. I wanted to talk about this indie auction coming up at Mika because
there's some pretty cool cars coming up, but also just wanted to check in. You were doing
the plumbing of all the hard lines of the air compression system. You found that great company
pre-vosed, I think. The company that I got it through was, I think it's called Warthog.
I don't know if I mentioned it in the beginning, but the biggest issue with this entire system is
the amount of money that they're asking for shipping. Because if you want a clean system,
the seven foot or eight foot sections aren't that much of an issue of shipping. But when you go to
the 10 foot and the 18 foot, because you want to be as clean as possible, that's when you're
going to have to literally pay through your nose. I was quoted at $1,400 for one. Warthog was the
cheapest by far. I've dealt with them. I've ordered a number of things left and right,
and it's been pretty seamless. The issue with the air system is I was up fully extended on the
scissor lift, mounting the piping to the ceiling, and I lost power on the scissor lift.
Were you trapped up there? I was kind of trapped up there. I crawled down, thankfully,
I'm fairly athletic at 115 years old, but that's happened twice in the last 48 hours. While we
are doing this podcast, there will be a tech walking behind me working on the scissor lift.
Thank God, because I mounted both of the reels yesterday. I don't know why. Osbot,
you've got to work on your freaking camera. The camera keeps moving around if you guys
are watching on YouTube. Absolutely annoying, but I'm able to, I've redesigned the system,
made it a lot cleaner and a lot less involved. I've got it all mapped out. The fittings are
fabulous. They're holding the air really well. I mounted the, I don't know, the,
what is it, the water gauge? The air filter and the gauge.
Oh, it's like a moisture. Yeah. Yeah, so I got those run. I got the,
okay. All the hard line stuff laid out. Like I said, all I need is this scissor lift to be done
and I'll finish the system today. That system that you're talking about has all the hard lines.
How was the process of just using the tool to cut them and then the couplers? The couplers
seem pretty cool. Extremely easy. The couplers are great because you can, you can literally
disassemble them and mount all of the fittings on the pipe itself. Okay. Then reconnect.
And it's extremely simple. They sell all the, you know, extra parts needed, you know, whether it's
the washer inside or whether it's the, any part of the fittings can be purchased individually.
Yeah. Well, it's been great cutting. Simple. You just got to debur everything. If you don't
debur the pipes, then you're absolutely going to be chasing your tail for hours. Right. But
I bought a debur tool and all that kind of stuff. It's very simple. It's just laborious.
And it's everything that I've set up so far, we don't have one leak.
Customer service has been great. It's, it's, it's really the way to go, you know.
Yeah. And now I can look up my tire changer and now the compressor that BendPak gave me five years
ago is, is back in use or is in use. And I can, you know, thank the guys who provide me with all
this cool stuff. And oh, by the way, I can do everything in house now. And I can use air tools.
Yeah. Yeah. It's pretty amazing that I've been able to function for five years, but that tells you
the, the advancement of these Milwaukee tools and these power tools.
You're right. Some of the, some of the battery operated tools, they've gotten so much better.
And the batteries are so much stronger, so much, such a higher torque rating in them that
they're really good. But I do like the air tools as well. So yeah, I mean,
the certain things need to, need to have air for sure. And they, and I like running them. I mean,
I can't wait. The biggest thing that I'm excited about is to, I'm putting a, a blasting cabinet,
like I said, on Caster and to be able to put that thing outside, open up the garage door,
push it outside, close the garage door, hook it up to the air and basically have the freedom to
be out there and not worry about it convoluting the fricking air inside the garage. I mean,
that's a dream come true. So I can't wait to be doing that. Yeah. Yeah. That'll be cool.
All right. So coming up this weekend is the Meekum Indie Auction. And I was looking through
some of the featured cars. And it's, it's basically, if you just had like a wish list of cars,
you know, for me personally, it's, it's their featured cars. I mean, yeah,
they've got the La Ferrari in the end zone. Those are cool things. But the 63 Ferrari 250 GT
short wheelbase, the California spider, right? Like such a gorgeous car, not many made back in
the day. I want to say the values of these are north of 16 million. I want, I think the end of
last year, one of the most expensive ones went for 25 million. Here, I'll find some of the images.
I'll load up some of the images. But, you know, you guys will recognize as the car as the, the,
this is the car that was in Ferris Bueller, but this one's red. One of the ones that went up
auction recently was the black one, which was really nice. But, you know, 12 cylinder,
three liter manual, you know, you don't even have to be a rag top guy to love this style of,
of the car. And it's just, just great story, great history. And we'll see if this thing
starts to top the charts if it gets past that 25 million dollar mark. But just the coolest,
because they don't have an estimate listed on some of these really high end cars.
So that's definitely on the list. The Lamborghini Miura SV, you know, Adam had three mirrors at
one point. We sold them all to get the, get the, the Newman Porsche 935. But the SV that he had,
gorgeous, Bodie Stroud did so much work on that, restored that for us. Yeah, Bodie's great. He did
such a great job in the paint, the interior, everything on that thing was just top notch. And
you know, you look at the car, you look at the lines of the car, and it's, it's always just
gorgeous. You know, not the easiest thing to get in and out of, but
but liken it to the, to the
uh, what is it, the
brick thing, the Tommaso Pantera Pantera. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Even the modern day cars of 4GT
that you were in a little, little tough to get into. Oh, by the way, the, the
pace car for Bull Run was up at the show, the Hempstead show. Oh, was it? Yeah, it was cool to
see if they tried to get by it. Yeah, I figured that's what they were going to do. Yeah. So
mirrors have, have, they've taken their time, but they've really started to pop. And now the
mirror SVs, which we're trading at about 2 million, I've crept their way up to about 6 million dollars,
which are, are really starting to get the money that they deserve. But you know, another
the question is though, how long is that going to last with the people our age,
right? Yeah. Here goes this, this endless loop thing. When's the window closing?
You know, it's always the question. But I think that's why there's so many of these going out for
sale now is because people feel as though that window is going to close a little bit.
Yeah. And they, they struggled for a bit, but there are a few of them popped and, and they've
been holding like, what was it a month ago when that Ferrari collection at Meekum went and then
those cars were like crazy numbers, but many of them are kind of holding. So it went from like,
oh, this is an anomaly was like hot in the room and live auction setting, but they're doing well,
they're holding. The other car was, we love a Ferrari Enzo and the Ferrari Enzo is always worth
a lot of money. And Maserati did an MC12 based on the Enzo and they only did a few of them.
And for years, Enzo's were getting over a million and these were half the price and people are
is the way to go. Like first of all, this is picture the Enzo, right? And now this is the
Maserati version carbon fiber. I think they were all this white and blue. They just needed to do
50 of these to homologate, you know, so they can have to do the racing and have the street car.
Now these are up to 55 and a half million, maybe 5.2 million, I think was the,
was the top sale. But the Enzo is cool for sure, but you can get an Enzo, you know what I'm saying?
Like you call around or look at a few auctions, you'll find an Enzo. These days, it seems like
you can get an Enzo whenever you want. If you go hard enough, you can find one of these too.
Yeah, but you do have to look a little harder. You have to look a little harder. One of these
was at auction, I think at, was it broad arrow auction at Monterey last year and then this one
coming up now? I haven't seen that many, but again, they start to pop up because they've jumped up to
$5 million, right? So years ago, if you were one of the guys that paid $600,000 or $800,000 or even
1.2, 1.5 million, well now that they're $5 million, you're going, listen, I enjoyed it,
maybe now's the time to let it go. Nothing wrong with a $4 million profit,
but just the coolest car. When you really get up and see it up in person, sort of these gills
over the front here with these kind of beams, these splitters that kind of go through that vent
area, really, really cool pieces. Yeah, it's a killer car. Yeah. And yes, I mean, what you said
was completely true. I don't know how many Enzos were made. 523 Let me think about it.
Was it $3.99? Yeah, something like that. So obviously, there's a hell of a lot more Enzos
than these cars, but like you said, all it takes is one to pop to make sure that, you know, hey,
there's one there, there's one there. Yeah. You're not going to, I mean, if it didn't pop,
you're still not going to see them, I would imagine. They also have an Enzo, which is done in this
beautiful silver with the, this kind of silver gray with the red interior. So not all of them
have to be red. I just can't believe you haven't said anything about that speed tail yet.
So that was the other one. So I went and I saw the speed tail a couple of times,
and Tammy was crushing on that one as well. But there is this here. It's the McLaren Speedtail.
So this is like, this is the McLaren 720S, but the Speedtail version is basically
rebodied to be a top speed car. And I don't know what the estimate is on these, but they're pulling
like a couple million bucks now. So I went and saw these a few times now and saw them in person.
And just a really interesting sort of dynamic to the car. When you see how long this tail goes out
and the discs on the front of the wheels, like it's such a cool looking car. When you get up on
it in person, the proportions are insane. You know, when you see how it goes off in the back
and how they kind of had to redo the cockpit and the short little window and stuff. And it's
really cool. Isn't it cool? It's just the coolest thing. It is cool. And it's like it's low, like
just the overall, the whole thing's low. And then the scoop for the engine, it's just got the coolest
pieces on it. This one basically has no miles on it. Somebody bought this has like 74 miles.
By the way, the speed tail, you sit in the middle, like the McLaren F1, right? Which is another just,
I mean, I'm sure it's a pain in the ass to get into, but who cares? It's just an experience.
Each time you get into it and crawl into it. So you sit in the middle and you're forward a little
bit and then you have passenger seats to your right and your left and they're set back a little bit.
So they're like you, as a driver, here's the thing. It's like you're a big guy, wide shoulders,
and this car seems like it'd be impossible to get into. But honestly, like once you're sitting in
the middle, you have the shoulder room, you have an elbow room. Like if you can contortion yourself
into that seat, I bet you would be comfortable in that seat. I mean, the seat itself was a little
tight. I drove the F1, remember? Yeah. And I was comfortable and it was really cool.
Yeah. The whole arrangement is cool. You're right. This one is such a cool looking car.
Definitely one of my favorites out there. I mean, if you can't get an F1 because it's 20-something
million bucks, this is kind of the car to get. By the way, the Gordon Murray T-50, those are already,
you know, two of them sold at auction already and they're $8 million, $8.5 million. Like this one,
you could still get in there. But so the other car that caught my eye that I wanted to bring up to you
was this 71 Plymouth, this Hemi GTX. Now, we've talked about before how like the American cars
are always kind of interesting because when you look at the European cars, you go, oh, this is
one of 50 Maserata MC12s. You know, they're all pretty much the same color. It's one of 50. But
when you get into the American cars, they're like, this is one of a hundred, but it has a 410 rear
gear and it has a 4-speed manual and they only made seven of those or one 11 of those.
And so this is where you need a guy like Mark Warman to really not just look at the VIN number,
but look at the build sheet and go. This is a super cool, valuable car. But this car popped up,
one of 11 Hemi's with this spec. It's the 426 engine, 425 horsepower. It's a 4-speed. It has
the right options on it, the hood scoop on it, but also great color combination like subtle but
tough without being like a big bright green or yellow. I think this car presents well. The
estimate on this is $325,000 to $350,000. And it's just, I don't know, just thinking about some of
the cars in your collection as well. These days, kind of the modern-ish super cars have been taking
off in the auctions. If this car gets anywhere near the estimate, and again, I don't really know
the values of these as much as some of the other things that have been moving more lately, but
this seems like a really, really cool piece. It is. It's a cool piece. But again, you're going to hear
my perspective of it. I remember the auctions, and you couldn't push one of these on anybody.
It was so hideous, and it was the version that came out after all the air pollution
shit. It's just a different car. I still don't like it, even though I'm that Mopar guy. I can
appreciate it, but I wouldn't pay the money to have one of those in my collection that they're
pulling now by any stretch of the imagination. Yeah. Okay. It's a little big in the back. It's
got droopy eyes in the front, but I don't know. This one, it's kind of funky cool to me. So this
one I kind of like. It's lovely cool, but it ain't 325 funky cool by any chance. Yeah. Okay.
What was the market on these? It was not even close to this, right? It was half. Not even close,
not even. Now, I remember when people started pushing them at Barrett, because obviously the
earlier V-bodies and the A-bodies and the E-bodies especially were pulling rain,
and so, you know, you got to move on to the next one. But I just, for me, the package,
it's cool. It's cool, but it's not, it's just, it's in a different category for me.
So you're saying they're asking a lot of money for the car. You think the estimate is high on
this car? Because I don't know. No, that's good to know. But again, the estimate is high if there's
two guys that aren't willing to pay for it, right? So I do believe that there are people
that are going to pay good money for that car, 1000%. But it's a different generation, I believe.
I don't know. just always thought they were ugly, bulbous looking cars.
But there's something about cars are starting to pop up now and get,
you know, like always the coolest, nicest one is the big brother and it brings up the little
brother in value. And this feels like this is what's happening here. It's not, you know,
there's no question that's what's happening here. Because, you know, in all honesty,
it's a hideous body style. I think it's just a truce. But, and it didn't, I mean, 10 years ago,
you couldn't, you couldn't push one of those on anybody. Yeah.
I, you know, in my circle, but now, just like anything else, like the 318s, go try to find
an original 318 four speed car. You won't, because everybody bastardized them for the
heavy cars, right? They sell the 318s, not worth anything. Let's put a date code of
Hammy in it. Yeah. Whatever. So good luck finding a real 318 four speed right now,
because everyone cut them up. So it's, you had a good point. You know, I mean, it's,
I don't know, it's weird. I apologize. I'm going to have to exit because I've got a new person
coming in the garage and they're not going to come in the garage unless I let him in here.
I just saw the truck pull up. So it's probably your sizzle like, yeah, guys coming by, but it's
all right. We're wrapping my safety into consideration because the next time I'm, I'm stuck on this
thing. I might not be able to get down. Right. You've done it twice already. All right. We're
wrapping things up anyway. So guys, thanks so much for listening and we'll see you again next week.
And until then, keep the air and the spare and the bag and the wheel.
About this episode
Goldberg and Matt bounce from a New York car-show recap to memories of Pete Chapouris and the old Shift and Steer days, then dig into a string of headline auction cars. They talk through rare Ferraris, the McLaren Speedtail, Gordon Murray’s T-50, and a 1971 Plymouth Hemi GTX, while also nerding out on Mopar rarity and build-sheet verification. Along the way, the conversation veers into shop projects, air-system plumbing, and the practical headaches of getting everything installed cleanly.
