Greg shares the story behind his rare, unrestored, family-owned Pontiac GTO in Tiger Gold and his multi-year effort to get it featured on Jay Leno’s Garage, including an on-site interview with Leno. He reflects on interview insights, shifting focus away from pure valuations toward stories and experience, and explains why he wrote an entry-level guide to help newcomers and even non-enthusiast partners understand the hobby. We also discuss generational trends, engaging kids at events, the “last analog” era, future collectibles, and Greg’s upcoming Porsche enthusiast guide and book tour schedule.\n===== (Oo---x---oO) =====\n00:00 Meet Greg Stanley!\n01:17 Origin Story: Starting a Car Podcast and Breaking Into RM/Sothebys\n05:21 Life as Car Specialist\n05:55 The Tiger Gold GTO & Getting on Jay Leno\n14:53 Interview Surprises\n17:45 Market Trends and Values\n21:00 Generational Shift in Collecting\n22:47 Why Write the Guide?\n25:41 Getting Kids Into Classics\n29:15 The School Bus Story\n31:35 Pitstop: Porsche 959 vs F40?\n34:50 Writing the Enthusiast Guide and avoiding Jargon for Newbies\n40:37 Inside the new Porsche Book\n45:06 Future of Collecting, Top Future Collectibles?\n52:06 What's Next for Greg?\n52:45 Where to Buy the Book and Farewell\n====================\nThe Motoring Podcast Network : Years of racing, wrenching and Motorsports experience brings together a top notch collection of knowledge, stories and information. #everyonehasastory #gtmbreakfix - motoringpodcast.net\n\nMore Information: Visit Our Website\nBecome a VIP at: Patreon\nOnline Magazine: Gran Touring\nFollow us on Social: Instagram\n\n"},"annotations":[{"id":475195,"startTime":226.3,"endTime":233.2,"type":"person","title":"Donnie Gold","url":"/glossary/donnie-gold","quote":"[226.3s] Just from like TV, I recognized Donnie Gold, car specialist.\n[230.2s] He's with Broad Arrow now.\n[233.2s] Been into business for 40 years.","canonicalId":"person:donnie-gold","priority":0.2,"confidence":0.95,"source":"gpt-5.4-nano","data":{"explanation":"Donnie Gold is described here as a “car specialist” associated with Broad Arrow.
