Shouts to them for the Bahamas project. I legit just came across them like two weeks ago and was super hyped about how they're going about things. The transitional housing/government contract angle is mega-smart. Wishing them the best

Blue and white Viper GTS was available in 96 & 97. If white stripes go through license plate area, it’s a 96. If that part is blue it’s a 97.

[@darknes7800]

The late John Lingenfelter and his brother Charles, both WILDLY successful businessmen and some of the nicest people you will ever meet !!!!!!!! Met John back in the day at SEMA, spent 20 minutes talking engines and suspension like we were best of friends.

Once again, great content. Your father and brother make it far more entertaining than your normal videos. Thank you for sharing your family.

Your dad is hilarious. I'd watch a channel of just him.

Love the video next year you need to bring Papa Al too! It's super cool to watch the three of you and all your knowledge and different tastes at such a huge auction

[@cookingwithdad1970]

I think it's cool the videos you make and the cars you show but I think it's even better you get to do this with your family. Family's way more important than the money. Glad y'all get to make money AND spend time together. Love your Papa Al too!

[@kelly00000111111]

my dad and i went to a mecum auction in Manheim PA in 2017 and picked up a 2002 35th anniversary 4th gen camaro with less than 6k miles, lots of SLP parts and dealer options. the thing never saw rain, was kept on a 4 post lift in climate controlled garage, still had original tires on it. we paid $24k for it. it as a little over 7k miles now as he only takes it out when the weather is nice. he used to have a 60's camaro but wanted something that was easy on the wallet as his first auction biuykbut it is something that put a smile on his face when he drives it, as it kind of reminds him of my mother who passed away from pancreatic cancer in 2022. mecum was a great experience and i would love to go back

[@tomcat630]

Those Ford horn buttons were on Crown Vics and Taurus too, Starsys Gran Torino was a 74 to 76, you showed a 1969 Torino GT, they weren't called 'Gran' before 1972. ;-)

A long, long time ago... I went to MIT, 'cause I'm a geek I guess. That was one of the best choices I made. I was one of the "Internet" buyers - except I was on the phone for a good part of the final Saturday. But... A few of us used to make the drive to Keene just to attend some of the parties. It was worth the drive. This was way back in the 70s and 80s.

[@heirMCFLY]

Aside from the great content and gems he drops. kraig is a family man first I like how pops and bro are included with the trip, and from what I can see advisors for the filmed segment of this auction which I feel is great all around you love to see it 🤘🏾🤝🏾

[@bigdog8993]

Great video that split window vette was badass 😎 and the owner seemed hella nice and friendly too😊

[@DavidKasper-zz3xg]

This was honestly a superb episode bud. I don’t really like to comment on stuff, but I just wanted to take the time to show you some appreciation this time. You really have done a great job with the channel overall throughout the years, and it’s cool seeing it stay authentic and original while you have become bigger on here with a much larger a presence. Your channel has reminded me of what it was like originally watching Hoovies Garage when he just started out, and feel you both have similar qualities in that regard (even if different types of car shows). You genuinely project positively over the video(s) with how good you are at being both engaging and with an obvious strength communicating your content. This episode was supposed to be about being more fun rather than the “buyers beware” or “how to start doing this type of business on your own” as is accustomed (and appreciated). Your family was an obviously great add for this, and made it both very apparent how you got into this all to begin with. Sorry for the extended long comment too. If I’m only giving you one though. Might as well make it worthwhile. Cheers to you and to cars with no rust 🍻

[@mattcupp6740]

The blue and white stripe viper gts was made 2 years first year was 96 the 2nd year was 97. Only thing different between the too are the stripes. On the 96 they go through the license plate area and on 97 they don't.

[@pete6908]

Great video…….audio so much better than when you are usually in the auction 👍👍

[@camiloblanco7816]

[@dougt5357]

That whole 'who's on first' bit with the 'bet' on the Ranchero was classic! What a hoot! I love how Craig comes back from the 'ad' and says, 'Lunch is over' and doesn't say WHO paid! 🤔 The discussion with Mr Lingenfelter about the 63 Vette was special!! Craig's brother is scaring me! He wants a 70's van. Probably loaded with candy and puppies and cruising by elementary schools and parks! 😲 I am SO with Craig on the Lincoln Continental! I'd love a 65 convertible. Great car to pull up and take the grandkids to get ice cream!

[@viperrt10able]

The gts in 96 was only available in the blue and white. In 97 you could get blue and white but also red. The way to tell a 96 to a 97 blue and white gts is the 96 the stripes run through the license plate area. the 97 left the stripes out of the license plate area.

[@79thump8]

Were your dad and brother in Goodwill Hunting?

[@KevinD-ws8up]

[@aaronbritt2025]

@0:15... That white WS6... My "been trying to buy for 5 years" car. One day, I'll own another manual trans WS6. I really want a slicktop, but will consider a t-top for the right price. Trying to find a nice one for under $25k is near impossible.

[@olikat8]

As you're talking to Chris Lingenfelter, there is that 340 Duster peeking around; at 16.23 you can see it closer. That car went for $145+K and has all the Mopar cultists going goofy...totally missed that on your channel- that would've been a coup. I have an early-production, '69 Swinger 340 and a very late '76 Plymouth Valiant sedan. The Valiant is actually more fun to cruise around in, low stress, people smile & wave. Hides a Bergman Auto Craft suspension & steering set up, 12" front rotors and my blue heeler rides shotgun in that & my F350

[@brettleewilliams]

The aftemarket wheels on th Bandit are called "Snowflakes" Pontiac went to these after the "Honeycomb" era of the 71-76 T/A (had a set of Honeycombs on my "76 Bird). Both really cool wheels! Love the aftermarket wheels being made for these cars. They look so good in a "modern" size.

[@muskokamike127]

Often though people go nuts with the "modern" low profile wheels and tires. I always say "that lady is wearing the wrong shoes to the ball". You F up the handling when you go low profile, you have to change the set up if you're removing sidewall height.

[@zactormak]

thanks for showing the bike section. so cool to see the old 2 strokes. my favorite. always love the attention to the benzes as well my favorite cars, good thing dodge only made the blue and white striped colorway for one year because thats shelbys colorway lol 7:10

[@tomcat630]

Craig, station wagons sold like hotcakes in the 50's/60's and the 55-57 Nomad didn't sell that well, also the Pontiac Safari. It was in the 60's/early 70's as used cars that teens/car guys bought and hot rodded them. Being Tri 5 era also helped. Ask your dad, 🙂 Wagons dropped in popularity with fuel crunch of late 70's, then minivans, to SUV/CUV's took over.

@11:00... Here's a problem with container homes... Most, if not all don't have engineering stamps. In NV, where I live, they have to have a NV engineering stamp to be placed and lived in. NO container houses have a NV engineering stamp. I don't know if they just just want to pay for it or can't qualify.

[@InMyBrz]

The other problem is they are too small for most towns to be used to live in, need at least 900 sq ft

We live in Northern Ireland (UK). The Isetta (bubble car) was provided free to disabled people here in the 1960s. The UK Government only permitted BMW to manufacture this model after WW2.

You have to get some mics, your videos are getting better and better but the audio is not. When you turn the camera away from you we can’t hear what you are saying. Watch some other car KZbinrs on a tv, like Dennis Collins coffee walk etc. After you have finished editing your video watch it on a big screen. If you want your audience to grow have to get away from the mentality of people watch you on a phone. Picture and sound quality makes or breaks a KZbin channel no matter the content.
