We’re live from the Easter weekend Tailpipes and Tacos cruise-in at Lupe' Tortilla Tex-Mex in Katy, Texas, where breakfast tacos, hot sauce debates, and a surprise Easter Bunny are all part of the soundtrack.Then we jump into a fast, addictive “sold car roundup” game: we name a car, guess the sale price, and reveal what it actually brought at auction. The numbers are eye-opening, from a 1969 Chevrolet Camaro that lands at $66,150 to a Bullitt-styled 1967 Mustang in the same range. We hit plenty of variety along the way, including a 1969 Pontiac Firebird, a 1977 Pontiac Le Mans, a budget-friendly 1978 AMC Concord wagon, a clean 1962 Oldsmobile Starfire, a 1969 Mercury Cougar, and the quirky-cool 1975 Bricklin SV-1 with its standout doors. If you care about classic car values, collector car trends, and real-world auction comps, this segment gives you a lot to react to.The morning turns fully community-focused as we hand out kids’ pedal-car awards and then bring in the chili pepper trophies: Best Classic goes to a ’57 Chevy Bel Air, Best Modern Classic to a 1980 Ferrari 308 GTSi, and Best Hot Rod to a 1966 Chevelle gasser. We also spotlight the charitable heart of the event, supporting Shirley’s Kids, and why cruise-ins like this keep the hobby growing.If you had fun with the price guesses and trophy picks, subscribe to In Wheel Time, share this with a car friend, and leave a review.
