1934 WRECKED CHEVY 3 WINDOW COUPE AUCTION RESULTS AND MORE!!

[@MrPaige222]

I know this is off topic, but if you're like me and didn't find this channel until 7 months ago, I HIGHLY suggest that you look at his old videos while waiting for the next new one. I've beenbinge watching because of the damn lockdown. I noticed his motorcycle replicabuild from scratch has comparatively low views....the work he did is freaking awesome. He melted old pistons down to make the custom engine case.....a work of art. He'd never admitit, though . Seriously, do yourself a favor and check it out. 11 videos. Just the tip of the iceberg. Sorry for rambling. Hope you find ot useful and entertaining.

[@Gothamauto]

Absolutely, there's gold in the older videos. I learn something from each one I watch.

[@mikeysgarage3697]

I normally work my way through from the start of any channel that looks interesting enough that I'd want to subscribe to, takes quite a while to do with channels that have been around a while, but I don't watch regular television anymore, don't need to with the content available on KZbin, lol!

[@bigleague6723]

You are absolutly right. I started watching a couple years ago when he built his Grandsons go-cart. Been hooked ever since.

[@flick22601]

Thanks for the tip. I just watched Part 1. Lots more quality viewing to be enjoyed.

[@jeffleblanc8850]

That motorcycle build was awesome whatched while he was building it he’s a very smart man I don’t think ther is much he couldn’t build he’s one of them guys that was born beside a lathe he is prob one of the best on you tube if not the best I don’t know anyone that could have done that I think he knows it’s something not many people could do he does everything so it’s affordable also the man is a machine he don’t stop he goes back and forth from one project to another the funniest thing is that motorcycle was prob one of the hardest things to do but I’ve seen him were it’s easy and it takes longer unless it’s not enough of a challenge for him the ones he goes back and forth to are the ones he prob don’t really care about but he loves old machines cars truck tractors anything that moves I’m he’s got a semi a Peter I’ll I would like to see him work on that it’s a cool truck he want to put a Cummins in it it’s got a Detroit with 671;I think thaTs what it is I and a lot of others want him to leave the Detroit in it like someone said everyone has a Cummins them old Detroit are awesome but you never know what he is going to build but he is smart as a whip I should say he’s prob the only hillbillies genius I’ve head of lol and that’s not a insult

[@jameshicks4944]

I guessed $3000 to $4000 on the 33,iam not surprised it brought $4100,around my area certain old vehicles bring a lot of money.great video Jonathan,Thankyou.

[@Amp497]

Those SS Wheels bring back memories of my aunt's 1971 or 72 metallic blue Buick Skylark with vinyl top including a factory hand-operated vinyl and cloth sunroof. It had a 350, and an automatic, and it had plenty of power! My aunt was a little old school teacher in tennis shoes, as she liked to call herself, and she loved that car. Of course, she drove it with one foot on the gas and one foot on the brake. I miss her. She was a character.

[@waynewalker8432]

Hi Johnathan. I love what you do. I grew up having to try to figure out how to make do with no money. Dew to age and health I can't do much anymore so I really look forward to seeing your videos

[@deweygill1973]

Wow. Bought a 64 Chevy 11 just like that one - same color, 3 on the tree, with a 6 for 25 bucks in 1971. Stuck a 327-4 from a wrecked '62 wagon in it. Good for laying burners in front of the high school commons. Put some 60's on it and ladder bars. Flex tube exhaust and glass packs. Don't think I had more than 150 into it when I was done. (Having a friend that worked in a boneyard helped) Times have changed

[@rockettcustoms6266]

I've been following that too

[@joeboxer3365]

Johnathan I'd wondered last video how you'd done at the auction, sorry you didn't get the 3 window but that's a lot for a wrecked car, you do good making stuff outta that others pass off, the rambler sounded good if you'd wanted another project, and the turbo was a steal at $600, the chevyII was pretty clean and straight for $2000, just glad your happy with what you got and the more people know of you the more you'll find coming

This is Johns (HIGH TEC CAT SCAN) man where have You been? ....LOL!

[@notajp]

I’m more familiar with the ones that use a loop of cable through a piece of tubing like a snare. I’ve not seen that style before...

[@tjohnson9051]

Hi Jon, you did the right thing on those bids. I would not have gone as far as you on the 34. Usually at those auctions people have big ideas and no skills so they over bid and that puts them already upside down on the project. They picture the thing all done but don't realize what it takes to do the job. How many times have you see a car taken apart, sanded on and then left because they ran out of ambition, got lost, or don't have the funds to do it after bidding too high. You didn't fall off the turnip wagon yesterday so you know right where you need to be on this stuff. Everyone watching for a while can see what it takes to fix this stuff. I chucked when Ninna had to catscan the axle retriever tool, she's quite a cat! Keep up the good work!

[@arthurdurham5112]

It's amazing what these old cars bring. Late 70's i bought a 50 Chevy p/u for 125.00. Battery and gas and I was on the road.

[@jeffreylevin1266]

Thanks for showing the prices Jonathan. Honestly, things were higher than I expected. The coupe would have been nice to get. Otherwise, I don’t think you lost out on any treasures.

[@darrensanders6695]

Crazy price for the Chevy. Love three windows but too much for a car with a lot of wood. I think it’s for the better because you have a knack for finding those gems for a song. It gives you more time to spend on the pickup. It’s an inspiring build. Those I’ve shared these vid saw them and said “ I can do that too”. Thanks😊

[@johnpayton148]

Great video as always. I like that manifold that's a rare piece. I 've only seen one other one . On a motor in a T-bucket. Thanks Jonathan for the awesome videos. Stay safe👍😀.

[@charliemartin-k7m]

People think just because something is old its worth a lot when most of the time its not.

[@billg7205]

They can have all the money in the world, when they're shill bidders and have no intention to pay, working with the auctioneer and/or seller. I've dealt with a number of scrap yards over the years, and they've been up there with used car dealers. They came up with that term "automotive recycling" many years ago. There's a few that actually do sell known good parts. As for the rest, if they're selling junk, then they're a junk yard. Games like telling you an engine and transmission were known tested good runners when they weren't, etc, etc.... Not a place I'm trusting with an "auction".

[@billg7205]

@@slippedknot2001 Yep. People who have restored cars understand the principle of starting with a good shell. If that car sold for $3600, then a good shell should easily be worth $7200. At the end of the day, you spend a similar amount if not more, considerable added time and effort, and wish you had started off with a good known shell.

I've always had a fondness for the Rambler Rebel. Wish I had the time and money to do something with a car like that but not enough years left to make it worth the effort and cost. I hope whoever got it will do a full restore and not trash it any worse than nature has already. Not many people realized that those cars were a lot hotter in their day than could be believed.

That '66 Rebel was a nice early unibody and my 770 classic never had a problem with the doors shutting like bank vaults even after I was T-boned by a 90's Taurus. Well built as they just swapped fascias and tails for the top of the line ambassadors, the chassis was worth and having the 2 door would have had better lines than the fugly Marlin.

Good discipline on the auction bids. Set a number and stick to it. It is easy to get caught up in the excitement of the bidding and then rationalize "another hundred". I guess it is easier when you aren't present.

You have to stick to your top allowed price at auctions and if you are going to repair it yourself you have to know your limitations of ability. If not you will never get out what you put into the item. If you can then there is usually some profit to be made when selling.
