Term
427

LIVE
Hello, everybody, and welcome back to the Bring a Trailer podcast.
Alex Porter here, director of auction production for Bring a Trailer.
I'm here also with Randy Nonderberg, co-founder and leader of the pack, captain of the ship,
and also Zach Beatty, our director of auction strategy.
How are you gentlemen?
Good.
Thanks for having us back.
Fantastic.
Good to be here.
All right.
Great.
So, today, we're going to try something a little different.
We're going to try a game open on what to call it.
I originally called it the dream garage game, but maybe it's the five car garage game.
We're going to go around.
The three of us have selected a year model, single year model.
It's too practical for a dream garage.
Yeah.
And also, like if we do the rules the way I want, it might not be your dream garage,
right?
It might just be the best five cars.
It's not my dream garage at all.
It's that year.
Right.
Dream garage for that year.
Well, that's a kind of one of the interesting questions.
So, the idea is we go around, each of us have five picks.
We have five categories of vehicles.
We each pick one car from each of those categories.
I'll go over them in just a minute, and then we kind of compare garages.
But one of the questions is as we're thinking about this, so I don't think it's a spoiler.
The year that we've chosen for this first one is 1967.
1967, my dad says that's the best year, single year of cars being made of all time.
Does he really?
Oh, yeah.
Interesting.
Man, I crushed we don't have them on.
I know.
We could have them here.
I can text him and get 67.
Is his first ever car was 1960.
The MG.
He was 20 years old, and so, yeah, he bought a brand new MGB GT.
MGB GT, OK.
British Racing Green.
That's a potential candidate for one of your dream garages.
Will that be ready?
May or may not be on my list.
That's exactly right.
It's not green dream garage, though, dude.
It's category.
It's winner.
It's like watching the Olympics.
It's like the best 100 freestyle in 1967.
It's like we're picking that.
That doesn't mean it's, I mean, MGB GT may not be my dream car, but it could be the
best car that year.
Right?
Like we got to laser focus this.
What are we doing?
OK, so that's a great question.
For me, I was thinking of it as what are the cars you would most want from 1967, but
it could be greatest cars.
There could be overlap.
What do you think, Randy?
Well, I've got my list.
I think people want to hear us dive in and start seeing.
I need personal reference and I picked solely based on results on the site.
Oh, that's interesting.
OK, I was going to ask you about that, too.
So a couple of things before we dive in one, so this is a great way to highlight
BAT and also searching BAT.
I was looking it up.
We have 13 live cars right now from 1967 and we've listed over 3,300 cars from 1967.
So that's a good enough database right there.
I like that.
3,300.
Sorry, 3,300.
Yeah.
Do we have to stick only to BAT cars?
That could be one of the rules.
No, no, no.
This is well, I mean, you could pick your favorite lot number off BAT and people could
go look at it.
But I've got, I've got cars just based on what 67 is seared in my mind.
I think that's smart.
You could also get more creative with Wildcard that way because we haven't listed a ton
of weird stuff from 67.
Most popular movies in 1967.
Oh, tell.
The Dirty Dozen.
Oh, good one.
The Graduate.
That may foreshadow some selection.
I was going to say there's some car stuff there.
Coolhand Luke.
What's the Graduate 67?
Graduate of the 67, dude.
Man, that's really the lady there.
Berkeley, that's your town.
That's your town, dude.
Did they close the Bay Bridge and then drive across the wrong way?
Because they wanted the city in the background, but they wanted upper deck.
Oh, that's interesting.
So the only way to do that and get the shot was to close it and drive the Graduate the
wrong way on the, or was that another movie?
It's got the tunnel the wrong way on 101, right?
When you're about to pop out in Gaviota, north of Santa Barbara, you know, he drives the
Alpha through that tunnel.
Yes, he does.
And he's doing the wrong way, I think, when he's doing that.
That's interesting.
I thought it was over the bridge.
You know that tunnel?
Right before the 101 after Solving, right before it pops out on the ocean there.
Man, it's been so long.
This is Lompoc.
Yeah, Gaviota is the name of that little town.
But Lompoc's right there, right?
Shout out, Patrick.
Totally.
Okay, so not sticking to BAT.
We're going by year only.
There's a whole bunch of other ways you could do this, but that's how we're going to start
it.
Is it impure?
Does the car have to be stock?
Is it like you would be buying this in 1967?
Or?
I think we just got to go.
You just got to say category.
We got to go.
But one other thing I will say, my selection was biased, where there were some great cars
in 1967 that debuted earlier, and I felt like we may do this again with different years.
So I actually like.
It doesn't have to be a debut year, though.
So you'd pick it for 1966.
It doesn't have to be like a BGT technically came out in 1966, right?
So, but do you pick it as a 67?
I say if that's your favorite car that was in the category that year.
I don't want to look at it.
I'm not going to spot Alex, but I didn't put the mirror on this list because I thought
I might actually use that for a year or two earlier.
OK, that's very interesting.
That's a good point.
Well, you may never get that.
You may never draw the card of 66, right?
I mean, that may be 40 games later.
So you may be we may be waiting a few weeks.
Right.
I'll see those under these podcasts to do at a minimum.
Well, we're doing them all today.
So let's go.
OK, all right.
Randy is like, you're not blowing up my spot.
I'm going to forget my car.
He's like, ready to go.
OK, well, I took notes because I'm preparing a 1903.
We all just have five.
Oldsmobile.
Sure.
My family hauler is a curve dash.
OK, it's also my sports car categories.
These are these also like leave so a little bit of openness.
But here's the five that we have.
We have sports car, right?
So there's some openness to interpretation there.
We can talk about these as we go through them.
Family hauler.
So sedan, station wagon, something you can all your family in.
Trucking four by four is the third category.
A daily, which I also throughout there could be something semi affordable.
We haven't talked about prices yet.
And then a wild card, which could be a motorcycle.
It could be a race car.
It could be something you didn't get on one of the other categories,
just something you really want throughout airplanes.
There's an interesting airplane that came out in 1967.
So those are the five categories.
I think the way we do it is we go around, we take turns.
If you take one that somebody else wants, that's gone.
That's off the table.
So there's a little bit of challenge there.
And then I think the other kind of important piece is as we kind of go
through each category, we're fleshed out a little bit, right?
Like we can talk about it before we before we dive into it.
And I don't think there needs to be a specific order.
So if you need your truck, get your truck first is kind of how I was
thinking about it, right?
If you're worried, Zach's going to steal your whatever.
Sound good? I'm good to do it.
All right.
I think Randy, who's super anxious and leaning back in his chair, should go first.
And then Zach, you go second.
And since I've been thinking about this most, I'll go last.
And we'll just go around the table round robin round.
Not each category, though.
We're not doing each category.
So we can go head to head.
OK, I can. Yeah, I think because I think you want to lock in your your ones.
You see a wild card till the end.
OK, well hit me with a category and I'll give you an answer.
No, you pick the category.
Pick whatever car you want the most.
Randy, you're starting with trucks. Come on.
Yeah, resident truck expert.
What's the thing you want the most?
You've got a good one on there. OK.
I don't know. It's not it's it's not even what I want the most.
It's icon we've talked about.
We've been talking too long here.
People are like, get to your cars.
But I'm like FJ 55 is introduced 1967.
Toyota, weird, ugly, hauls the kids.
I know a dude whose dad was a Toyota dealer in Colorado and Utah.
They have pictures on all the walls of their family cruising around late 60s,
early 70s in an FJ 55.
And I think that is hugely enviable.
And that is my choice for the four by four category.
Not family hauler.
So you could fit in more than one.
There's other ways to haul the fam too. OK.
That's that's truck.
I'm going to write these down as we're going.
So we've got the loose two tone.
They're always two tone. They're always rusty now.
Two tone. I'm open to many color schemes.
But blue and white's iconic red
gray and white's iconic brown and white. It's all it's all awesome.
If they're a single color, though, they get the thumbs down.
Oh, interesting. Got to be two tone.
I went down a rabbit trail not long ago of every car I buy
from here on out should be two tone. Oh, I really like that.
Which is interesting.
You can get a lot of cool cars that are multi color,
but it knocks out pretty much most cars that you guys like.
NSX counts with the Black Roof sack.
Yeah, I guess your Rivian does, too.
Rivian counts lot of lot of W11 coup.
It's an option for this year.
Anybody wants a nomad?
Nomad counts. Right. I mean, it's just many things.
Anyway, so that's a great pick.
That's my truck starter.
Wasn't even on my list.
That's a really interesting.
I'm kind of surprised because if I recall early days,
you had some strong words to say against the FJ-55.
I did and I still do. It's like a pendulum.
If we play this game tomorrow, it's last.
It's last place.
Just right now you're feeling today. It's first place.
Sometimes you just got to pull the lever.
You know what I mean?
So I'm buyer in that market.
There's no real spec on them, right?
It's an engine gearbox the same and all.
They're all the same.
Every one of them was the same.
Maybe you could get AC on the later ones
and you could get some weird stuff overseas.
But no, I just want a US FJ-55.
Great pick. Really good.
Strong start. Randy coming out of the gate hot.
Zach, where are you going first?
I was looking more through the lens of less of,
not necessarily automotive icons,
but things I would just want to own in 1967
and what my garage would look like.
Totally.
So I landed on, this is my plan A.
I had a plan B as well.
Smart.
This 1967 international harvester, 1200B,
travelette, pickup, quad cab, 4x4.
Anthony Sarah just sold this three months ago now in May.
Super tidy.
Okay, that's very strong.
Give the lot number.
Give the lot number so people playing at home
can take a look, but that's a huge win.
Yes, lot number.
No, it's right there in the essentials, dude.
The essentials are so long in this truck.
What's the cab called?
What's the big long cab called on those?
I don't know.
I don't need it on.
Travelette.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
That means it's travelette the fourter?
That's it.
Travel us the fourter.
So it's a lot, 106,505.
106,505.
106,505.
Winner, 105.
I'm sure Ben sold.
What does he sell for?
So this one sold for 56 grand.
That's a lot of money, but that thing was sweet.
Adjusted for inflation.
This is probably a good long-term hold, honestly.
But 67, you could haul the fam in this, 4x4.
You can do some stuff.
You're making it your truck pick or your family hauler pick?
This is my truck pick.
Truck pick.
All right, so you guys both did your 4x4s up front.
This was like my weakest category.
That's a fantastic pick.
There's so many.
67s, though, dude.
I mean, you can say whatever you want.
There's no wrong answer.
Okay, here's a question.
This was on my list.
I'll do my truck 4x4 too, but does this even count?
Would a height two transporter pickup truck count as a truck 4x4?
It has a bed.
It's a drop-side bed.
It's a little bit of a cheat.
You think that counts?
Well, that counts.
4x4.
No, I meant truck slash 4x4.
So you could have a two-wheel drive truck as this category.
Okay, yeah, okay.
Yeah, I was looking at some Toyota stouts.
I actually, that comes with my backup pick.
My number one is actually very similar to yours, Zach.
So that's a fantastic pick.
I would like a power wagon.
Yeah.
I would like a Dodge power wagon.
So by 67, they started getting closer to making
different, more civilian models.
Correct.
Or are you talking like the last gas?
This is still the big gas.
The last gasp of the early WC.
Correct.
It's still the big guy.
4x4 only.
Day back to the 40s.
Exactly right.
And I like also the crew cab because it has a funky crew cab
like that, the one where the front window doesn't match the back
window.
You know, they're weird looking, the four-door one.
You got to pull one up because I don't know.
First, I don't know that they actually made a quad cab of those
ones, but then all these like expensive RestoMod
bros have been making quad cabs and we've been selling them.
Oh, interesting.
Dodge, did Dodge actually make a quad?
I mean, we have quite a few.
So I was like, look at this thing.
Show me what qualifies.
OK, that's the later body.
That is the later body.
So that's the other one is like external.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
And like really, yeah.
I have that exact same truck.
Is there hilarious?
I love those.
You guys, you guys are hilarious.
These are like the only trucks you guys are picking
were like only sold to the Department of Forestry.
I also like Gladiator Gees.
Yes.
Which I'm OK with.
OK, fantastic.
You guys are picking trucks that are only
for US government service.
I'm honing in on the utility side of things.
I love the utility side of things.
Suburban would have been my other option.
They came out with a big block for it that year, too.
And 62 car solution, these and an NSX.
Perfect.
Pretty good.
That's not bad.
Oh, no, I've actually parked my international travel
all on top of my NSX.
There you go.
I couldn't see it in reverse.
That would be great, actually.
OK, we all did the same category there.
Randy, next round is you.
I don't want to lead.
No, no, no.
The lot is cast.
You're going now.
You go now.
Next guy.
Oh, Randy wants to go out.
I want to follow.
This is like playing cards.
You can't go first every time or you're a sucker, right?
You got to feed off what the other people are saying.
All right, I'll go first.
I will skip to I'm going to skip to family hauler
because I have a little bit of fear
that Randy will take this one.
So I'm going to take an old Vista Cruiser as my family hauler.
OK.
It's not my favorite Vista Cruiser in 67.
I like the 70, 1970 version better.
Does 67 get roof, plexiglass, or grass?
It still has the roof, plus it has all that great stuff.
Wood panel, I'll take it teal or white over the wood grain.
I would love to have one of these to tow,
I think, as we've talked about, Randy,
before, a vintage front engine dragster
with a green Coleman cooler in the back with some high life
and really live the 1967 race car lifestyle.
Get after it.
I love that.
All right, Zach's next after you.
Whenever you guys are ready, I'm just buying time
so I can search BAT faster to pick up my.
That's perfect.
Well, shout out to our searchability
because it actually is really easy to hone in on 1967
through model pages and category pages.
I'm digging it.
I just found my answer.
So what's your answer going to be?
Great.
Yeah.
Put the pressure back on me.
So this is family hauler?
Yeah.
And sedan, wagon, something you can carry your family around in.
OK.
This is my family hauler pick.
Oh, really good one.
So good.
Yeah, 122S.
There's one out front right now, as we speak.
That's a little scruffier than this one.
Oh, you want a wagon?
Yeah, I want a wagon, a whole fam and the dog.
Ideally in green, just like this one, lot number 114992.
I just think the DS, or sorry, DS was my plan B.
122S is such a perfect family car
for all this safety technology and innovative at the time.
You're the pad of Dash, big deal.
Your family could, I don't know, you could hit a tree at low speed in that,
and everybody could walk out on skates.
So I think 122S is the move.
That's a really good one.
That's so good.
And looking at that one, people should look that one out.
Dark green with steel wheels and a little bit lowered.
APZ is perfect.
Randy, are you just on 1967 on the website?
No, I'm searching specific things in 1967.
OK.
You already kind of know where you're going.
Yeah, I think I know where I'm headed.
Is it me?
Am I up?
Yeah, it's you, man.
We vamped by giving our picks.
So now it's your turn.
I love that.
Did you go wagon?
What did you?
Yeah, you said Vista Cruiser.
You said Volvo.
We're all going wagons.
This may need to be like the slash wagon page because
do you guys remember when Tom Cotter listed his 428 powered four speed on the floor?
Special, yes, Country Squire Wagon.
I don't know if I remember that.
67 Country Squire Wagon.
So that car was like a super bizarro build.
That car brought 47 grand on BAT and he's awesome.
And that car was awesome.
428, four on the floor, giant Ford wood panel wagon.
Fantastic.
Beat that, right?
I mean, look at the rear seat set up.
Yes.
So the seats in the rear are either side.
So what is that?
2456789 passenger.
And you're basically driving on I-Bear.
Oh, dude, I love it.
Zach, Zach, you need seven children.
You need seven children, Zach.
So I've seen it out at the Pittsburgh V on a vintage Grand Prix with buddies that were racing
and he had seven.
After kid number five, I'm forgetting names.
Totally.
That's kind of the point.
You forget it.
You just throw another log on the stack.
Oh, it's like cordwood.
Anyway, they would all fit in that car and I love that car.
And that would be my family hauler choice done.
That's a fantastic pick.
That's a factory combo.
Let me jump in.
Yes, it is.
And that listing had 524 comments.
Whoa.
That was strong.
This is 2020.
That's amazing.
People were melting down in COVID, May of 2020.
People were commenting up a storm.
They did that in time.
Only one guy left 200 comments, I bet.
They're like, I can go travel the family with masks on.
So like, no, no, no, I'm ditched the mask through flying out the window.
Anyway, keep going.
Really good stuff.
One other one that I was thinking about this, my backup was a 600 Mercedes,
which is like a crazy car, but the big square.
Well, I wanted to go 6.9 and then 6.3 and I was like,
it was 67.
We're a little early, right?
What year did the 6.3 come out?
70?
I think 70 is what I was going to say.
Maybe 69.
But anyway, I wouldn't want my kids to grow up.
That's spoiled.
The 600 is out of control, but I love them.
I just wanted to mention.
Come on, your kid putting a partition on a family trip.
You did a pretty small car.
What an Alpha Giulia sedan that was another thing about it.
Does that count as a family hauler or is that too small?
No, European family.
We just had four people in one of those.
It was fine.
I saw a beautiful green one on the way here, lady driving,
middle-aged lady driving it.
Really?
Yeah, with like.
Across San Francisco.
Yes, with like GTA style wheels on it.
Well, you can't sheet and make that your commuter.
What color was it?
Green, like a dark green color.
We sold that car, guaranteed.
It looked exactly like five cars that we've had on site, for sure.
It looked kind of like the one that was in the Netherlands.
Yeah.
That's the amount.
All right, Zach, we've both gone first.
Why don't you pick the next category and you pick yours?
I think I'm going to go commuter next.
Oh, good.
And I like my inner city lifestyle.
So I actually went with a CL77 scrambler.
Oh, that's fairly strong.
I think moto, inner city, like you have the truck,
you have the family hauler,
you want an excuse to use your sports car.
So why have just a Fiat 500 is your commuter
when you could have a moto slicing up in the streets,
lane splitting, easy to get around town,
don't have to worry about parking, sips gas,
has more horsepower than the Fiat 500.
What's the spec on those?
What's the engine size and transmission?
I actually saw that listing.
Isn't that one, is that live?
This one just wrapped up about a week ago.
Yeah, 67, you get a 300 cc parallel twin.
It's around 28 horsepower.
Five speed?
Four speed.
Four speed.
I think on the CB450, you might actually get a fifth gear,
but it's a commuter.
You don't need all that.
Have you driven a bike like that?
Written a bike like that before?
I haven't ridden a bike from the 60 or 70s, no.
Interesting.
Great pick.
All right, Randy.
What are the other categories?
We're doing commuter, what remains?
I didn't know what car to use.
Daily, like a commuter, which you don't have to do now
if you don't want to, but you could.
We need a sports car.
We didn't go straight to sports cars,
which is interesting.
And then the fifth category is a wild car.
It can be anything.
Commuter Honda S800.
Oh, man.
Well, see, in my opinion, that's your sports car.
No, no, no.
Sips gas.
That's your sports car, though.
Honda.
Sorry, I just took it, by the way,
so nobody could use it as a sports car.
That's interesting because I have Honda files.
That's interesting.
You guys need to pick something else.
Roadster or a...
I'm back.
Yeah.
That's your commuter.
That's a commute car.
You're going to...
It's a coupe.
I'm going home.
Coupe.
I'm going coupe.
Some groceries in that.
Totally.
Are you kidding?
Hatchback right on the coupe, isn't it?
Americans need to eat less.
They need to eat fewer groceries to fit into that car
and to haul in that car.
You just read that thing to like $9,000 on your way home
and it sips gas.
That's a perfect commuter.
Man, Randy, the contrast between daily driver
and family hauler is fantastic.
All of it's mayhem.
It's actually a little bit like a real life.
A little bit.
My life is mayhem.
But I don't know.
I think these extremes, I think, are good to bounce off
the guardrails here a little bit.
That's an eight.
Is that the first year of the 800?
I think 67 had 800.
First year of the 800.
But let me look.
Maybe I just look 67's first year of the 800.
But 66, but 67 may be the first actual.
Still chain drive on that, I think, which is cool.
I thought 800 had to get a drive shaft.
They get a drive shaft.
The six.
I don't want to commute away a chain drive.
No chain drive.
Zach does.
Zach chose chain drive for commuter.
I'm not picking chain drive.
Well, the deep knowledge that people in the S6 and 800
community actually say the chain drive is better.
And it's a sealed chain drive.
So it's not like it's getting exposed to the elements.
I would want the Solider N2.
That's marketing.
We don't have time.
But I'm quite sure the early 800s are still chain drive.
And only the late ones are Solider N2.
Pretty sure I'm right about that.
But I could be wrong.
I'd be pretty sure.
Alex, I'm sorry for the misinformation.
No, but I'm only giving Randy some pushback
because I'm trying to not make all my future garages
only sports cars.
But we'll let this one slide.
I'm sliding right in with that one.
I love it.
OK.
My daily, my heart wants a beetle, just like a 1500 beetle.
Like what would actually have been a commuter in the day.
But I also kind of want like a base spec Mustang or Camaro.
So here's a question.
Are Mustang, Camaro, sports cars,
do they fit in that category or no?
Those are the do it all.
No, they're do it all.
If you said, is it a sports car?
I don't think they are.
I don't think they are a sports car.
No, actually no.
Like, but does it solve sports car in your life?
It can.
But can it win the sports car category for you?
No, that's not allowed.
OK.
That's my argument.
I agree.
What do you think, Zach?
Interesting.
Well, it's not what I was going to pick,
but is what I was thinking of picking for my sports car
was a 67 GT350.
Oh, interesting.
Supercharger.
I think maybe the Shelby is.
So here's actually what my heart.
Randy is going with his heart, so I'm going to tell.
Right now, what I want is my daily is a super base V8,
67 first year Camaro with a four speed.
Like whatever the.
Interesting.
Sleeper, like whatever the sleepiest V8 is.
Like the.
That's what my parents drove away from their wedding.
With like a two barrel car.
67, 283 power glide.
That's exactly.
Except I would want to drove it from Dallas to San Francisco.
Great.
Great.
And they drove it from Dallas to Colorado.
What was the color?
A lot of them are that pea soup color.
No, I think it was pale yellow.
Oh, great.
Maybe white, maybe pale yellow.
But just like a sleepy V8 spec manual transmission
first year.
Two barrel, 283.
Correct.
Yes.
With a three speed or a four speed in it?
Or do you want an auto?
No, three or four speed manual, whatever it was, whatever.
I think is there a four speed.
Camaro is a good answer.
Camaro is a great answer.
67, 68.
I'm firebird all day long.
Interesting.
White lights, man.
They look so good.
I think that would be so fun to drive around.
If you were driving that into the office every day
in San Francisco, it'd be fantastic.
In 1967 or right now?
My high school English teacher drove a 67 Mustang
coupe automatic.
She was an old lady.
She was in her 60s.
And she drove a 67 Mustang to the high school every day.
The leaf springs were shot, right?
It was on hubcaps, white, black interior.
And she just kind of kind of lumbering in
with her little C4 automatic.
Slushing through the gears, parked it, locked it.
I mean, you can break into that car with a paper clip, right?
She'd locked it every day and had the keys on her desk.
I thought that was so cool.
That's just one of the story behind there, right?
Maybe she bought it new.
Annette Garcin, she had a French last name.
And she just rolled in in a Mustang to school every day.
I mean, that's fantastic.
I drove one out in the student lot
that I thought was all hot roddy.
And then my English teacher had the same thing.
That's really good.
What was the what was Tom Cotter's car that you picked?
I didn't write that one down.
Country Squire wagon 67.
Country Squire or I think it's technically a galaxy
or maybe not, but it's they called it country.
Country Squire 428 four speed.
Very unusual.
All right, Randy, you've got to go first again
since we've both done it now.
Sports car.
Are you ready?
Are you prepped for it?
Sports car. Oh man, it's such a great category.
I mean, there's so much.
We should do a couple honorable mentions on this
Is there any American sports car?
Do you call it that a sports car?
If you don't call?
Yes, definitely.
Dude of what?
67.
427.
Is that a sport?
I mean, they called America's sports car,
but we're saying a Mustang's not a sports car.
I'm saying the Mustang is.
Oh, OK, OK.
I'm like, that's not even a question.
Yeah, I guess it is.
It has independent rear suspension.
It counts, but it's definitely on my short.
But a road rider is not a sports car.
Well, I agree with that.
Anyway, there's there's a lot to a lot.
But if we do 71 and then you pick a Hemibaricuda,
I would let that slide.
We still got the wildcard category.
Yes.
So I am.
I mentioned that graduate thing super coincidentally,
but I am saying 67 inaugural.
Or no, they came out a little bit earlier,
but a bowtail spider alpha bowtail.
Oh, interesting.
That is a great car.
If you have not driven one of those,
everybody should try to scrap their way to finding a way
to drive one of those.
I love love love that car.
Had the apple green one that sold on B.A.T.
in the second week of auctions recently sold again
for either the third or fourth time on B.A.T.
At least the third time for sure.
And man, that car just really makes me happy.
I like those cars a lot.
Great.
They're a sports.
If you say a sports car, I mean, that's like,
yes, the gravel.
So here you go.
I wonder if their sales jumped in 67
after Dustin Hoffman was cruising last time.
I'm sure.
Right.
That's a 1667.
1600.
They put a 1750 in the 69s before they killed the bowtail in 70.
So that's actually a good car, too.
But it had injection on it, which is lame.
Nowadays is lame.
It was cool back then, but now it's weak.
So 1600 with carbs on it in 67.
And maybe a color other than red, right?
If you had a black one of those.
Black is good.
Or if you had that green, my green was too light.
I'd like the darker green.
Or if you had a blue one, but the red's great, too,
if it was parked outside.
So again, a car, if somebody pulled up in front of the office
and was actually just normally driving one of those,
so much respect and high five.
If particularly if the taillights in front end
are all bashed up from parking in the city.
That's like a sports car on the Wikipedia page,
or red, alpha.
That's it.
It's perfect.
It's perfect.
I actually saw one of those today, too.
A late, crappy one with big bumpers in that kind of tan color.
But old, crusty.
I love it.
Randy, you don't want the 330 GTC.
The mirror does nothing for you.
Just give me a little.
I mean, all that stuff's rad.
But a sports car is small.
A mirror is kind of small.
I don't think of a V12 when I'm thinking of a sports car, right?
I think of little, like, giant killer.
Well, that's a nice segue to my pick.
Oh, man.
That's strong.
20 to 2000 GTs.
There you go.
My favorite and definitely top of my list.
I thought I might be stealing that one.
That's totally fine because I have a long list here.
I wish those were 85 grand.
I know.
You hit me both.
I wish that we could actually have one of those,
because it is actually a 240Z.
Nobody tells you the secret, but it drives exactly like a 240Z
and it costs 42 times as much.
Probably can't fit in it, though.
That's the thing I always wonder if I would even fit in one.
They look so tiny.
I've sat in one.
I've never driven one.
Is it really tight inside?
Yeah, but it's like 240Z tight.
Yeah.
It's a 240Z.
Just squint.
Have three Japanese beers and it's the same car.
Just roll your 240Z.
I know it's got twin cans.
People are like, man, man, man, Z432, blah, blah, blah.
Which is still an eighth of the price.
Totally.
You buy eight of them or buy two of them
and then go buy a Benz 600.
Awesome, man.
It's so pretty.
It's Iranian.
It is.
It's a pretty mall.
Sorry.
Zach, keep going.
It's like a homemade and so curvy.
I mean, the line's incredible.
Yeah.
Been a couple of years since we had one,
but I'm looking at lot number 76746.
Here is Seal.
Thanks for bringing that one to us, Lambo Gas.
Put that on my list of 10 favorite auctions of all time,
at least the Don Yantt one, the first one that we had back in 2016.
I can finish that.
Great pick.
I'm upset about that.
Speaking of a great pick, what am I showing you a photo of?
What does that look like?
Oh, God.
It looks like a top of a strut mount.
No.
It's an oil pan.
It's a diff on a straight axle on a hundred and 800.
Yeah, they definitely have straight axles.
That's not what I'm saying.
The early ones are still chain drive, I think, on the 800.
For sure.
What's early?
Like the first 57, dude.
The first couple of hundred cars.
There aren't that many of them.
OK, well, I'm talking about 67s when I picked that car.
And that commuter?
Come on.
I've never heard that exact car.
Commuter in Wikipedia under commuter.
Look, the owner of that car, the long time owner of that car,
he bought it new and he worked for Fonda.
He worked for some race shop.
He worked for, is he a Penske guy?
Somebody, there's a cool story on that car.
There's a story.
I remember that.
I remember that one specific.
So people can check it.
This was a lot of 25, 21.
And I remember it fantastically.
And sold for 30 grand.
Sold for 2016.
We were all young kids, 92 comments.
Children.
What did it sell for?
30 bucks, 30 grand.
OK.
I had Toyota 2000 GT on my sports car list.
I had no doubles.
You're not allowed to say anything.
I know.
I had C2 Corvette, big block four speed.
OK.
I had GTC 911S.
Sports car, though, man.
Like even in the vet, I'm like, you got to have a small block
because a big old honking.
I know.
427 kills sports car to me.
Sports car is like windy road, tight corners.
Man, OK.
So then that makes me worried pig.
I'm worried that the one I'm going to pick doesn't count then.
OK.
This is actually what I want right now.
I think it's a complicated term, but I feel like even a big
block for vets got it.
What would you call it?
It counts.
I mean, on an open road course or like a GT road or like
Skyline or whatever, I mean, it counts.
I mean, man, that thing is great, right?
But you try to muscle one of those.
Any car that you're like, oh, I'd better have power steering.
I'm not going to take it on a windy road.
That's not a sports car.
But they raced them, right?
I mean, they raced them.
They raced them like crazy.
And the car that I'm going to pick, I don't think they raced.
So you have to tell me if this counts a Volkswagen.
No, a Pagoda.
It's a Pagoda sports car.
Oh, no.
You don't think so.
And that's interesting.
So 67 is the.
I was going to breathe for five seconds before I said no.
But Zach just would immediately know.
It's the, there's the 255.
What's car for the general with the heart condition?
Correct.
There's the 255 speed in 67, which is a rare thing.
Too crazy.
You like the five speeds and they're rare.
And that's in 60s.
With the ZFRs are beautiful.
I totally get it.
But they're sportier with the five speed.
But are they a sports car?
As I argue, no.
That's like full blown GT car to me.
I mean, what does SNSL stand for?
Ding, ding, ding.
Sport life, right?
Sport.
Sport.
I mean, OK, so my backup would be the 911S.
Most here, 911S.
I mean, that's a drop.
That has backseat though, which that would go to doesn't.
No, dude, is it a sports car?
Come on.
Of course.
All right.
Yes, yes.
That's the one that like everybody rushes to pick.
I'm kind of glad none of the three of us rushed there too quick,
but you got it on like second swing.
All right.
If that's all you'll allow me, then I'll take it.
I'm happy to have it.
It was the first one I thought of.
It was actually the first car I thought of in this whole exercise
was first year 911S.
But it is some basic, basic business.
It's the first car I thought of too and thought of you picking it.
Yes.
It was actually like my fourth choice,
but I still really like it.
Is VET the only 67 sports car made in America?
Well, you guys disagree with Mustang?
I disagree with like small muscle cars being sports cars.
Dodge wasn't doing much at the time.
I mean, a Shelby is pretty sporty.
There's nothing.
I know, but it's big and chubby by that point.
Yeah.
Right?
I mean, the cars were getting big.
Where did Cheetahs made it?
They didn't make like a Corvair?
Did they still make that in 67?
Rear engine, would you call that?
That's the Corvair.
That's not a sports car.
I know, but I'm grasping at straws here.
I mean, what did America make?
That was sporty.
I mean, it was the most cars.
It was muscle.
So they built big cars with body.
9-11, 67s were sweet and small.
You had to go over there.
They built a lot of birth engines for Lotus.
That's very good.
That was sporty.
There's good American race cars from 67.
That's the Eagle Westlake.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Anyway, it's interesting to think about that stuff.
Right?
It is.
We're starting to be BMW 2002 bodies, 1600 bodies,
and there were dots in 510.
I mean, this 67 was right.
None of us have picked a BMW.
None of us have even talked about a BMW yet.
There's a wild card category.
There sure is.
Zach didn't pick a BMW motorcycle though.
So how wild would you want to get with wild cards?
Does that have to be something that we theoretically
list on BAT?
Could it be anything?
I mean, you've got to be more wild
than if you picked a 9-11s.
Now you're like, now I want a Targa.
Like, that's not wild.
So not anywhere near what you already picked.
And it should fulfill some driving or automotive,
even aesthetic, dream that you have.
Right?
Like crazy.
Like awesome.
OK.
Even if it's a Pinto, it's like your thing.
Correct.
That's the wild card category.
Yes, I agree.
All right.
Now that I say that out loud, I need to do something.
No, no.
I know exactly where I'm going then.
Because the one, the thing that popped out to me the most
when I was scrolling through all the cards we've listed from 67,
one of my favorite cards we've ever listed,
is the Porsche 910.
That was part of the, one of those things
that Feminade and Cayman Grimm did on our site,
the Group P collections.
How does six cylinder, it came with the 2.2 liter flat eight
on the stand?
I mean, what?
Anything with a flat eight qualifies as wild card.
Correct.
Right?
Correct.
Mechanically injected 2.2 liter flat eight.
And having that in period, super interesting.
As like a gentleman, a plain white one as a gentleman racer,
you know, take it out a couple times right now.
It's a 2.5 million dollar car, but it's just more of a race car.
Is it more interesting to have in period
or more interesting to have today?
I think in period.
What do you think?
I don't know.
I think equally interesting.
It's so expensive now.
It's hard for me to be like, you know,
it's like literally not a time that's a game.
The most interesting time to have that car
is like three years after.
Totally in mid 1981.
And it cost no money and nobody wanted it.
And it was derelict in the back of some shop.
That's when the rip of the flat eight out.
This is a nightmare.
No one wants to throw this engine away.
So that, yeah.
And now it's like a, you know,
prancing into red and sport with that car
that you just bought at Gooding for 3 million
or 10 million or whatever those things are, right?
So it's a little different now.
It's just a sort of cash game.
But the people that were like either the factory crazies
that were actually running that car
and then the weirdos that like scooped it up
or kept it afterwards, right?
That that era is when that car.
For like 25 years, that car didn't matter very much.
I think that was like the sweets.
But not because it was a deal like financially,
but just it was a derelict race car
and you had to love it to go after it.
And it's so complicated.
It's like gold wings were cheap for a long time.
It's like no one wants to fix this.
Because they're a pain.
Yeah. And they weren't worth enough.
What a choice.
All right. There we go.
That's all five for me.
Six. Who's going next?
Rapid fire. Read your five right in a row.
Okay. For four by four truck,
I have the Dodge power wagon.
Got it.
For family hauler, I have the Olds Vista Cruiser.
For daily, I have a 67 Mero base V8 Manero.
Give it to me.
For sports car, I have 911 S coupe.
I want to make that clear.
Not a target.
911 S coupe.
And for wild card, I have the Porsche 910.
Wow. Zach, you're going wild card next.
You're putting me on the spot.
I need more research time.
Hold on. Here we go.
I went pretty wild for my wild card.
I'm still going only off the site.
So I went for the 67 exemplar one.
Oh, I looked at that car.
What are you saying?
It has like triple gold datans on it.
This car is wild.
It's like half of it is made of brass,
and the other half is made out of copper.
It's got to be one of the heaviest vehicles
to come out of the entire decade.
It's like Tornado underneath. Is that right?
It's not a Tornado. It's a Riviera.
Riviera. That's right.
Which was also a really pretty car in 67.
Riviera was on my list.
Like that's a car that you could have used
in a couple categories.
Yeah, I know. I love those.
But man, the Italian design on top of
what's already a good looking car,
I think it just looks awesome.
You're the biggest baller on those gold rims.
Shown wear. It was a show car, right?
I think it was a show car, almost positive.
And I think shown somewhere.
And then it's a one of one. They only made one.
It's a design.
I wonder why that was.
It was a mic drop moment. It was just so good.
It was too good.
It was too good.
That's really wild, Zach.
But yeah, it had teatop roof.
I mean, the attention to detail in this thing is insane
when you just look at the interior and the injured bay
with the tire up front.
Oh my God, it's so great.
It's ridiculous.
We're definitely going to head to that
so that everyone can see it
if they missed it when it was on site.
Really wild car.
That is wild.
A wild car for the wild car.
It's perfect.
I had the Matra Jet as my plan B.
Wow. That's a good one.
French. What were the French doing in 67?
I had DS-19 as one of my backups.
That was one of my top three for wild car.
Wow.
Yeah, I had that for a family car.
I know.
I was like, man, can you haul your family around?
It's something that they're going to be spending
a lot of time on the side of the road in.
I mean, for me, I only have my kids on
every other weekend.
That's probably fine.
That's right.
Suck.
You're talking about people's perception of Zach.
It's so weird.
It could be froze out these weird one-liners
thinking that people will get these jokes.
All right, ready?
You ready yet?
Or do we need to talk a little more?
What's the sign they do back in the day?
They're like, stretch it, stretch it out.
You guys got them.
Who else do I need to get her to?
Stretch it out.
All through in one more wild car.
Well, Randy scrolls the website.
Fiat Dino Coupe was another one.
That's a car that I've always liked.
Interesting.
Really liked those.
We've had a couple really good ones.
I've always liked those.
And that doesn't really fit any category.
It's like not a sports car, not a family hauler.
Couldn't use it as a daily.
I don't think maybe you could have in period,
but it's another car that's going to spend some time
on the side of the road.
Love all of that.
Pagoda, you kind of stole the thunder of that one.
That was a good car.
Oh, I'm sorry.
Obviously, it's not very wild.
255 speed is such a good spec.
And I thought I would suck Zach in with that
because he always talks about that spec on Pagodas.
I can't pick two alphas.
That's not loud.
Oh, it's not loud.
No, you know, I mean, it's allowed,
but it's just it's not particularly creative.
I think 67, 1967.
I'm going with one car in particular, one VIN number.
Oh, interesting.
Which we talked, we alluded to earlier,
but I would love to be on a quest to find my dad's first FGP GT.
Green, black, white piping on the seats sold
via the dealer in San Francisco, picked up in Europe,
traveled around Europe.
There's some layers to that story,
but eventually got brought back and my dad sold it
to somebody in Palo Alto, California in 70.
And if anybody has that car or knows where that car is,
I would.
You know what the VIN is?
I thought we talked about that.
I would very much like to have that car.
No, I know the plate, the black plate on it.
I think it was a W plate or I'm not sure my dad knows.
Anyway, that is the most important 67 being out.
But I think it will never be found.
That car is gone, right?
I mean, there are cars out there that are just gone.
So many of them that scrapped or crashed or whatever.
So, but I still hold out hope when I find a 67 green VGT,
I look every time to see if it's one.
That's such a great pick.
And it's also like a good car.
You could use that as your daily.
Like that could do a couple of things on our list.
Is that a sports car?
Absolutely.
Absolutely.
For sure.
The British made all kinds of sports.
Yeah, and you made a bunch.
Is that our only British?
I think that's our only British car.
And you guys would never pick a British car for anything.
I looked at VGTs and I thought about your dad's car
while I was looking at them.
I've always liked VGTs.
I was dying Alans for a sports car.
Alan is a good choice.
It's a good choice.
All right, Zach.
Did they stop making?
When did they stop making Super 7s?
I mean, the real ones, not that they haven't yet stopped
making Super 7s.
Correct.
You know what?
Like when did they stop making Lotus Super 7s?
I don't know the answer to that,
but they probably weren't making them in 67
where they can use Search at Zach.
I did look at Morgans.
There were Morgans in 67 in the US.
That's an interesting car.
I say that's a sports car.
For sure.
The sportiest.
That's a guy with a tweed coat and a mustache.
Here's a 67 Lotus Super 7.
So that's bringing me not the best one
because it's kind of late in the run.
But talk about sports car.
Like that's a sports car.
I'd rather have your dad's.
Again, it's for vintage GP over the weekend.
And I'm sitting there with a guy who knows his stuff
and races a lot.
And there's a Super 7 mid-pack.
And he's like, that guy's weak.
He should be leading.
He should be leading.
He's like, that car is unbelievable.
A twin came in that car.
And there's 2002s and all this stuff out in front of him.
And he's like, that guy doesn't know how to drive.
Because he'd be in.
He should be at the front.
Blowing the doors off all these people.
Because that car weighs zero.
And it has a great engine.
And there are, I mean, it's vintage racing.
It's all these old guys and whatever, right?
But nobody's out there to,
or a few people are out there to win.
But that guy probably was just having a great time.
But he's like, that guy ought to be in the lead.
It was so great.
I love that remark.
The first time I ever went to a vintage race in high school,
my shop teacher, Mr. Hamilton,
who had worked on the Apollo program
and loved old cars.
He was like, I don't go to vintage races anymore.
Because there's all these amazing cars
and it's always a 914 winning.
That car was later as well.
That's not 67 either.
Nope.
That 67 is 912 and 911.
That's all you get from Porsche.
Or unless you want a race car like I have chosen.
Zach, you want to recap your list?
I wrote it down if you want me to recap it.
You go ahead and recap.
Okay.
Zach, for his 4x4, has an international harvester.
And what was the cab called on it?
Travelette.
Travelette.
What a great name.
Everybody picked like a travel or a real Scout 2.
I mean, that's what?
Scout.
There's still Scout 800 in 67.
Is it?
That's why we don't pay us.
That's right.
Scout 2 will be on a later list.
68, they came.
69, they came.
The good Scout 2.
Man, it's out of here.
For Zach's family hauler,
for his non-existent family
that he only sees every other weekend,
we have the Volvo 122S WAG.
For his daily rider, a CL77 Honda scrambler,
for his sports car.
Oh, this one takes me off.
Toyota 2000 GT.
Wait, daily.
I thought we called it a commuter.
Yeah, commuter daily.
Like we're...
I don't want an S800 for my daily.
Zap grilled you about that.
But it was a commuter.
I thought you said commuter.
Fine, like I went back.
Commuter is like a concession, right?
This is where you have to drive
to a very monotonous life.
Correct.
That's different than a daily.
A daily, you can drive a Superbird.
I don't know.
You can be crazy.
While I'm recounting Zach's list,
at the beginning of yours,
you can keep scrolling.
I'm standing by.
I like the car.
But I feel like it is a commuter.
We do want the category to keep us humble.
Yes.
We can also, we can add categories.
So we don't have to stick to five.
And Zach, for his wildcard,
has the exemplar show car based on a Riviera,
which is definitely the wildest pick out of all of them.
Randy is depressing to me.
Randy's, Randy's list,
which is super schizophrenic
and represents why he founded and bring a trailer.
FJ55 for his four by four,
which on a different day,
he might say thumbs down to for his family hauler,
which is maybe my favorite of your picks, Randy.
The country's Squire 424 speed, which is great.
Honda S800 coupe for the commuter.
I don't think I fit.
It might be tight.
You guys would fit.
It might be tight.
That's kind of you.
I think you're working from home a lot in 1967.
Totally.
Totally.
For sports car, the classic pick,
the Alpha Boat Tail Spider,
and a really good wildcard pick from Randy,
his Randy's dad's MGV GT, his specific car.
Good list.
You guys happy with those?
I am happy with those.
I think we need like lightning round.
I don't know.
Let's get some feedback from the audience.
Audience, we'd love to hear from you.
Like we'd love to hear your five first of all,
but second of all, what else you want to hear from the audience?
Yeah, so my hope was, we'll throw this up in the post.
We can ask people what their five cars would be
in these same categories, and also tell us
why our lists are horrible.
And then my hope is-
Which they are.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And then my hope is also too,
they can tell us the stuff that we completely forgot about
and that we're morons for forgetting about.
Here's another reason I'm a moron.
67, you search it on the site.
There's 13 cars live model year 1967 right now.
A gigantic Ford F-250, which is awesome.
A Jaguar II.
A Myers-Manks.
Yeah, Manks is nice.
That's a good one.
Which I think the company existed in 67 or did it?
No, I was still under whatever.
And but you could title those under any
correct pan you can find.
A Healy, a Deville convertible,
which would have been a great pick.
67 Camaro RS, nice.
We have 500 formerly mentioned.
Zach's 67 Pontiac Firebird formula or whatever that thing is.
Another Maro.
67 Beetle, which is the maybe one of the-
Yeah, they got a little not as pretty afterwards.
67 is great.
Still not as pretty yet.
Another Beetle.
A 455 Swap.
67 Olds Vista Cruiser Station Wagon.
For speed.
Yes.
Was that the inspiration for your choice?
I've always wanted a Vista.
20 inch dubs on it.
That one's not my exact cup of tea,
but there was one that Wab sold.
We've only had like two or three.
It's a good looking car.
And I think it's got kind of a 442 front end on it.
Yes.
Like I said, I like the 1970 Vista Cruiser better.
Anyway, it's cool that we have 13 live from that model
right now and they're all over the map.
But we kind of glance off a few of these.
Did you ever go with Beetle as final answer?
Or no, you moved on.
I should have.
Maybe now I regret it.
I regret it too.
I think Beetle is the answer.
It's not a Super Beetle yet.
It's a 1500 that year.
So it gets a few upgrades,
but it's not the ultimate iteration.
It's really good from that era.
I love this.
So yeah, we'll get feedback from the audience.
We can add categories.
We can do this around.
We can stick to model years.
I mean, there's some.
I was trying to think of what would have been
the most torturous years?
What are you thinking about that?
People are trying to the comments
and let us know what they think of the hardest year.
It's cheater answer, but 2024 is the hardest year.
No, are there good cars out there?
Somebody's picking a cyber truck.
Somebody's, I mean, I can pick a truck.
That's not a truck.
The truck categories will win
because there are cool trucks made.
Family hauler.
You're going to pick another truck
because everything's a truck or a crossover.
Sports car.
Sort of.
Anyway, there's some stuff.
There's stuff.
It would be interesting.
I was thinking mid-70s Malaise era would be really hard.
It's great.
There's some good European cars.
Commuter.
You're going to pick like a Chosette
or like a Acer or whatever.
There's great.
It's my 8.1 liter engine in my El Dorado.
Totally making 147.
111.
So good.
Love it.
Part of why I thought 67 was good to your point, Randy,
is that it's a transition period, right?
Like the European stuff hasn't completely taken off.
It's not super common here,
but the Americans haven't switched
to kind of copying the Europeans yet.
The Japanese are just coming up.
It's an interesting era.
When did America finally make?
How many decades did it take before they made a sports car?
Is America making anything yet?
Is there an America sports car now?
That's a good question.
I mean, that's great.
Trying to carry that mantle for a long time.
But I don't know.
The Mustang 2.
The Dodge Stealth.
Oh my gosh.
Totally.
Which is all Mitsubishi underneath, ironically.
Yeah.
Come on.
You guys going to do the Ford probe like that?
Pro.
Pro.
We had a really clean probe that one of my buddies
was texting me about.
Is a Fox body a sports car?
Everyone in the Fira right now is just pounding their desks of air.
No, no, no.
That is a sports car.
This is a sports car.
I'm OK with that.
And yeah, build quality or not,
I'm OK with that.
This was really fun, guys.
So for doing it, I keep talking.
We're turning off the mics and keep waiting.
Yes, we will.
We will indeed.
Well, thanks everyone who made it this far for listening.
This was really fun for us.
Hopefully everyone enjoyed it as well.
Please do weigh in with feedback, advice, comments,
tell Randy why he's a moron.
And we will catch you next time.
Oh, you can also hit up podcast at bringitrailer.com
as well as comment in the post or on social.
We will see you next time.
About this episode
Randy and Zach kick off “The One-Year Garage: 1967 (Revisited)” by reframing their “dream garage game” into a “five car garage” challenge: each person picks a single model year and then builds a lineup across categories. They talk BaT inventory and how to use lot numbers, then argue about rules like stock vs. modified and what counts as a sports car or commuter. The picks get specific—FJ55, Volvo 122S, and oddball wagons—plus plenty of movie and drivetrain trivia.
For episode 182, we go back nearly two years for an encore presentation of our very first One-Year Garage game. These episodes have been very popular since, and we'll have a fresh one coming up soon!
Alex, Randy, and Zac Try a New Thing: game time! The One-Year Garage requires them to pick one car from a certain model year for each of five categories: Sports Car, Family Hauler, Truck/4x4, Daily Driver, and Wild Card. They make up the rules as they go, and along the way discuss local trivia about The Graduate; a two-tone requirement for Randy's future car collection; whether it's necessary to remember the names of one's offspring; dieting to fit in your diminutive daily driver; a little-known fact about the '67 Mustang; an episode-long argument [you're both right! -Ed.]; a heated debate about what constitutes a sports car [you're all right! -Ed.]; how said definition relates to the owner's heart health; and the undying question, "how wild is wild?"
We want to know: What five cars are on your list? Why are our picks stupid? What did we forget about in our race to pick perfection? Let us know in the comments!
Follow along! Links for the picks discussed in this episode:
