Unbelievable … not just a car, but a work of art in pristine condition.

Buyers pay way too much on BaT.

Sounds like you are jealous of BaT

I need to tell everyone something of critcal importance! I care about you as a person, and I very much urge you to listen to this to the finish: The scriptures tell us that Jesus Christ died for people's sins- now I say "our", but I speak for all who God mercifully appointed from eternity past to have hearts to receive the knowledge of this truth: that our nature is sinful and that we have transgressed God and owe Him a debt to be repaid; ( being hell; just forget your human logic behind justice ); But with God's remarkable free gift of justification and forgiveness, with Christ's death+punishment and resurrection from the dead, being the "means" you could say, for this to be won: whoever will have their faith ( and, according to my interpretation that this is not just a hearing of the facts, and saying "I believe it" with your mouth, or raising your hand at the end of sermon after the pastor's got you pumped up and asks 'who wants to say the sinner's prayer', but rather a faith that cries out to God "have MERCY on me!" and depends on Him as your only hope for forgiveness and being saved Him, that through Him, they'll be pardoned from the Judgement of their Sins by God, will be pardoned, because of His finished work, in what He came into this life to do, and be reborn, ( a change of heart about your life and reality with your knowledge of the truth that sets you free ) and will be saved! Now, being a believer is not "going to church on sundays" or wearing a cross chain or putting a cross bumper sticker on your car; in fact there's so many people who *think* they're Christiand it's scary. Once God does a work in your heart, marking you as His Own ( with the presence of the Holy Spirit ), this will bring about a life, bearing fruits of repentance! And you will be reborn as a new creature! Walking by the Spirit and not by the flesh (the will of your sinful self, and passions contrary to the things of God) Amen and good day my beloved, i hope all who read this have a heart to hear; eternity is ETERNITY, and this life is NOT eternity; it's like a vapor in the wind My prayers and best wishes to you all who read this, Grace and Peace from the Lord Jesus Christ and God the Father be with you!!

Beautiful car ever made. Such a rare coupe even than a Ferrari f430. Thanks for this awesome video and I’m guessing upgraded to a supercharge 🔥🔥🔥

Bummed that I missed the New Hope show this year. The weather was perfect. Great looking Karmann Ghia , looking forward to watching videos dealing with the issues.

I’m going to follow you and the car along. Keep us updated and posted

FIX YOUR TEETH

I would drive that in a millisecond. Then again, the model car was out during my preteen years.

Load the Malibu.

Thank you very much. Great video with a lot of good information.

Rock the custom, where's my cup?

I enjoyed your video about car auctions. I would love for someone to break down how Cars and Bids can be worth a 37 million dollar investment by Private Equity.

Excellent video - Just subscribed - Thank you!

I just seen this ... we have 1 put on our 84 and it works great. Wish you had put this video out 3 months before. We had hard time figuring out the s2 crap. But we got it and car runs great. Funny i got this car video suggested i think because the google spy machine heard me talkin about selling mine. I have 2 and 1 is in great shape for its age. But ive decided to sell both. I did notice as you put belt on you said clockwise on right bank and at left bank you said counter clockwise, but did it clockwise. May be slightly confusing.

Very good analysis of the dealer vs. private party percentage for the auction websites. I have noticed a lot more NR auctions on BaT lately and several of those vehicles have sold for below market value. One 911 today went for at least $10k below and was won by a dealer (they are upfront about it as their bidding name spells out their dealership). I'm sure you'll see that same car on their lot in the coming weeks for $10k to $15k higher.

Great vid! I had no idea they made stainless steel zip ties! As a prepper at heart, I also have food and water onboard as well as extra clothes, but that's aside from the car care stuff, which is essential.

I rolled half of these vehicles either myself or riding with friends in the 80s. The good Ole days 😢

I’ve also noticed that the same cars are being offered at multiple auctions if they don’t sell. Generally when I compare sell prices, auctions are at least as expensive as private sellers or even dealers, so I attend auctions to enjoy looking at the cars. I would register as a bidder only if I see a potential bargains but the selling prices I see that are bargains are fairly rare.

I have a hero 8 black from 2020.. it worked a little over one year, and now it's just an expensive paperweight.. I went through the same shit as you, so safe to say, I will NEVER recommend GoPro to anyone!

There isn't anything quite like driving around a 9-3 convertible, glad to see Saab getting some recognition

I appreciate the video, but it's too late. Much of what you describe has made me clock out of the classic car * truck hobby years ago. When it gets to the point that the cars are too expensive to play with and enjoy; when you can't just wheel and deal and swap, but instead it's become a high-finance high-stakes thing; when the little guy and youngsters are squeezed out, and it's become overrun with dealers and big corps and tech and finance...well....those are not the things most of us got into the hobby for; those are the things we always sought to avoid, and a good part of the reason why the nostalgia of classics appealed to us- because they recall the simpler, purer more honest days. I suspect a lot of other guys feel this way too, and if I am correct this means that we will see the classic car bubble pop in the near future (Which would probably be the best thing to ever happen- as cars could become fun again, and people could actually enjoy them instead of using them as museum pieces just to be ogled and shoiwn.)

Totally screwed over by Mecum that makes the rules up as you go. Unfortunately, if you sign the title over before the auction, they can pretty much do what they want, at least in Florida. The "mecum rule" is just garbage. BaT refused a car I wanted to auction off because it was deemed "too common". It was a Four Door Hardtop body style with only 2 in the world known to exist.......ended up selling the car to the famous car collector Jeff Dunham......apparently, it wasn't too common for him!

This is good stuff! I'm glad you popped up on my screen. I'm looking for an Indian in-line four and a first generation Acura NSX and it seems like every time I see one for sale, some dealer gets his grubby ass hands on it and the price is 15-20% higher when it pops up on another site. Plus, some of these sites have "Ghost Cars" that pop up. They have the same pictures but are offered for sale in Louisiana, then Washington State then New York. No thanks, I'll spare myself losing my hard earned money. I emailed one car "owner" and the guy said he was a Master Sergeant in the army, out of the country for a year, but if I sent him the money, he would have the car delivered to my house, no charge. If I don't see it first there is no way I would trust these slimy turds. So, I'm still LOOKING, not buying. These sham sites and slime dealers should be collectively tarred and feathered and put out of business. I've been wrenching and collecting, mostly motorcycles with a few E-Types sprinkled in over the last 50+ years and the hobby is being kidnapped by these bozo's. Yeah, you EARNED a new subscriber. You're doing great, keep it up!

When they let phone in bids, you gotta know it’s a scam.

Here is What really is happening! I now go to car e vents pick a ride and talk to owner with enthusiasm about there car and ask for in the near future may i get on the list when buyer wants to sell! Of course i have to know a lot of history on that paticulae car and be willing to purchase on the spot and not over pay for item! I use to chase in the early 70 gto and split window vettes with very little sucess for news papers were the only lead and most cars were garaged not in storage sheds. When i did electric service work most cars were in the owners garages and spot buying was possible. Now i carry cards at shows that i tell interested to keep in glove box if they are interested in future selling

Always Black

facebook will not allow me to share. car guys need this info--

Cool car 🚘

Great information on the vacuum operated system, I am LS swapping one of these and the extra knowledge is power!

Dealers are paying retail at wholesale auctions. Could not wrap my head around this until I realized dealers make much of their money from charging people with bad credit 12%+ interest. That and the reduced risk to the collateral through various low cost GPS tracking technology. I hope this collector car bubble pops somewhat because I would like to change cars eventually.

I'm an enthusiast at BaT they don't send me emails alert or get in conversation no more. even I keep signing in to particular car. I think they are being very snobbish now, that they are so successful & don't need lookers & not buying. they got technology to know I'm just looking.

Dude is tough to follow . Sorry

Thoughts on the rampant ghost bidding on BAT/C&B? How do you not get taken

We are getting ripped off here in Texas

This is nice where can I buy

The reason for the reduction of private party dealers is because the small percentage of glutinous extremely rich private owners who have hords of cars that are sitting in moseleums like the dude on KZbin latelly . He has hundreds and hundreds of VERY sought-after classic cars and is looking for more and has very deep pockets. Those cars will never leave his hands untill the day he dies (according to him) and he is a relatively young man. Therefore anyone who has one of these cars is not going to give one up very easily. One thing I find enjoyable is to walk up to another persons car at a car show and check it out , see it run , find out what's going on with it. But but when you see them sitting in a well lit air conditioned building the size of a mall , door handle to door handle I say so what.

This is possibly the worst tutorial I have seen.

(10)☘❤ Such a pleasure to watch your videos! ☘❤

(8)👍❤ Truly a masterpiece! 👍❤

(7)❤☘ You've outdone yourself with this one! ❤☘

By any chance do you have a motorcycle version of this channel?

The first truck is a 1972, not a 1973.

With that stereotypical japanese ahh song, i know what this guy look like irl🤣🤣

Do you know anything about the power antenna? How to replace it or to remove the antenna

You are 1000% right about B&T, I was trying to sell my 1970 Ford XL last year and they insisted on no reserve. I have been watching this site for awhile and recognized the huge increase in no reserve. Luckily I refused, they didnt offer to sell my car and I sold it for asking price on FB marketplace. Great channel here, first time viewer but will be subscribing. Thanks

Love the color combination! My '69 is Beale St. Blue with white go-pack stripes. It has a 4-speed with a 3.54 twin-grip rear axle. I still have two dealer brochures from 1968, one with the AMX and one without. My father bought a '68 Ambassador at Mide Motors in Garfield, NJ.

Old car guy here, 6 cars and truck's and 9 motorcycles. I'm impressed with your stuff.

Thanks professor for your help

Correct music referring to the testarossa.😂
