listening to you and your dad share your knowledge and passion for cars is awesome, it's amazing you guys get to do that together.

[@kevinstowell498]

Thank you

[@DunnMotors]

I liked the end with you and your dad looking at those cars and hearing your opinions and conversations on the cars. Enjoy those times Craig, they are a blessing.

Anytime you can take a road trip with your dad and talk cars is never a fail.

[@kevinstowell498]

I agree.

[@goleafsgo8496]

Mecum has been a fun week Craig, love when you have your Dad and or Papa Al on the videos. Your Dad reminds me so much of my Dad an almost encyclopedic knowledge of the cars from his era. My Dad was older then yours so his mindset was 50 -60 era but similar guys. Cheers Craig for taking us with you really appreciate all the work!

Marner is my boy ..... live close to London so as a Knights fan got to enjoy this guy growing up. I was never one of the local village idiots that said trade this guy he is way overpaid. As for the "All Star" game .... ugh what a train wreck of an event that thing is? Lol 😆

[@niagarajoe4402]

It’s been a long few yrs of doing this flip thing. Anyone can do it he “Craig “ literally shows you how to do it. If you work hard anything is possible. The problem with American is that people are lazy and feel they deserve everything.

Well first I need pockets.

[@van94weightlossjourney]

As a former dealer owner… most cars being purchased at auctions are via a flooring company. It’s all business so there’s nothing to be envious about. I would buy Ferrari’s, Lambos, G wagens, in a single sweep. Buy and flip. Repeat.

[@1CrazyDudeYo]

It's amazing how blessed this country is with wealth. I'm lucky to have been born here. I got so stressed with my student and credit card debt. Even though I was making $150k salary, it wasn't enough. Taking a huge risk and quitting my job to flip cars, real estate and open a retail store. I was finally able to make enough money to pay off my debt and buy a house, cash. It was a tough 5 years, but it can be done. I love these videos bcz they are inspiring and so fun. Don't lose hope, hustle and gamble on yourself, not someone else's company

"I don't even want a Ferrari that badly anymore"......as someone who subscribed to your channel a year ago based solely off the strength of this Ferrari flip series.....we know, it shows!!! It's probably time to either kill this series completely or buy the 1st dang Ferrari already. It's to the point where deep down inside, I'm starting to feel taken advantage of. I tune in every time expecting this to be the episode....after a year, I'm beginning to feel like that stance is the DEFINITION of insanity. I probably only have 1 or 2 more episodes in me before I mentally put "flip $400 into a Ferrari" in my mental junk bin and begin skipping them whenever I see them pop up. Friends tell friends the truth!

[@sabbath17]

Thanks for being a subscriber ❣️ Let's talk I got something for ya

[@woodrowbunopaddle]

I'm the commenter who always gets called out as a troll for the last year. All I ever wanted from this channel was quality content ,and improvement. Other than a few editing improvements ,the content is average at best ,and misleading.While Craig and his dad are probably good guys ,the level of inaccuracies is mind boggling. I don't expect them to be correct about everything ,but holy cow the amount of mistakes in each video is crazy. I'm not calling him out on being off a model year ,but calling a value 150K ,when it sells for 45K doesn't bode confidence

[@johncoinas]

​@woodrowbunopaddle they said some sell for that price. And they can original matching numbers low miles. Theres alot of variables

[@deborahbaty3369]

I just discovered your channel and have been picking and choosing episodes. I'm a long term Corvette guy but I also have a son that is a part owner in a Used car dealership so what you post is relatable. I used to tell friends that some kids bring home stray pets but my son used to bring home stay cars. We had 10 sitting in our yard at one time. He would buy them cheap and I would make them presentable and turn them over quickly. He is older now and I sold my C7 and bought a boat. It's great that your channel brings back fun times.

[@jimrodriguez7640]

Yes the ‘94 Cobras had “Mustang” on the bumper and not “Cobra”

[@shanehb]

Limos are a money pit! My dad owned a limo company. I know from experience.

[@WTF-sh4is]

Could you elaborate? Why are they money pits? Is it certain model year or all of them? Just curious.

[@wileecoyote5749]

@WTF They used '85 Dodge Aries Ks

[@shanehb]

@@WTF-sh4is limos break down a lot. The constant wear and tear on the motors from pulling the extra weight around. Over time they will start to sag. You won't be able to see it very well with your eyes but they will. Just the tiniest bit will have you going through tires fairly quickly. Doors not wanting to shut right or windows not working right. Then dealing with the people who rent them. The damages they cause is unbelievable. Just imagine 6, 8, 10, to 15 people drinking and partying. Depending on limo size. You have to clean them spotless after every rental. Vomit and it's smell are hard to get out. Torn seats, weather stripping around the doors torn. Sunroof broken or jammed. This has happened on Cadillac and Lincoln. I'm not trying to scare anyone from buying them. I'm just trying to warn anyone that is planning on renting them out. They are always better if you can afford to buy them new. Buying a used one they are getting rid of it for a reason. The used ones end up being ticking time bombs most of the time.

[@WTF-sh4is]

@@shanehb very insightful. It makes total sense! I had no idea the wear and tear on limos specifically! Thanks for the response!

Sorry guys, that Boatail Riviera is my dream car, preferably with standard drivetrain, but that would do nicely. Sadly the cost is far too high after shipping it home to Australia. And your 5 owner Lambo has probably cost each owner a fortune to keep it out of the workshops. I would keep well away.

18:40 Dad's right definitely a stock GT (poorly) cosplaying as a GT-H. The front fenders would have Hertz logos, not horseshoes along with "Hertz Shelby GT-H on the doorsills. You're also right there would be a plaque on the interior and under the hood. I believe there were only 4 GT-H made with a manual and would bring big money if it were real.

[@woodrowbunopaddle]

12:30 Craig ,the cars you get aren't of that quality. It's not a dig on you ,just don't compare an immaculate 350Z vert /6 speed ,with 33K miles to the cars you sell.. And you said you'd pay 12K for it ?

I had a 1971 firebird with a 350. It was a good first car for good times in my high school years.

[@billhenley6605]

No 455 c.i. Firebird Trans Ams in 1970. ''71 the first year for a 455 Firebird. About the boattail Riveria, all the old school quad headlight cars have a dual filament lamp in the outboard position and a high beams only lamp inboard. The '69 Camaro Z/28 package included a 4-speed stick (no automatics), Rally Wheels with low profile tires, and the DZ 302, with a solid lifter cam, Holley carb, and aluminum intake. Solid lifter cams were used to cope with higher duration, higher lift cam profiles. Hydraulic lifters could pump up and cause valve float. The DZ 302 cam is known as the "Duntov cam" (after its designer, Zora Arkus-Duntov, the father of the Corvette). It is also known as the "30/30" cam, based on its valve lash spec (.030" on both intake and exhaust). Chevy used this cam in the 365 h.p. 327, the 375 h.p. 327 fuelie (both in the Corvette), and the 290 h.p. DZ 302. Chevy also followed this same recipe -- solid lifters, Holly carb, aluminum intake -- on the 350 h.p. ('70 Z/28)and 360 h.p. ('70 Vette) 350s, the 375 h.p. 396 (Camaro, Nova, and Chevelle) and 425 h.p. 396 ('65 Corvette), the 425 427 (Impala and Corvette) 435 h.p. tri-power 427 (Corvette), and the 460 h.p. 454 (LS6 '70 Chevelle).

[@Joeshomegarage]

It's all about low miles and stock condition. My V had 33k miles but made 720 rwhp so I probably did better selling it privately than I would at an auction. The unfortunate part is stock is so boring to me. There was such an amazing difference between 500 and 700 and still had the reliability.

The problem with going to Mecum or BJ is as a Dealer you are competing with Retail Buyers and Collectors who aren’t looking at resale prices. Further complicating buying for a dealer is that you are bidding against emotional buyers who get caught up in the Auction Ether.
