I freaking love the car community! Better yet how every car guy that comments on this post almost all starts off the same way or similar in saying how lucky and blessed you are to be hanging out experiencing this moment and many others like it with your Dad. How cool he is and how great he looks! I think it is fair to say that it’s every car kid's dream to one day do stuff like this with their dad. Unfortunately, I don’t get that chance, but I’m living vicariously through you and your dad, and I couldn’t be happier for you and can’t thank you enough and tell you how much of a fan I am you. Your channel, and the content you create! Thanks!

[@Rodogg7787]

I was once that guy, but unfortunately, my dad decided to go his own way & quit buying cars! Yeah it sucked, but it is what it is!

[@robertmcguire7235]

I never comment but had to say how cool of you to get to go to the auction with your dad. Keep up the great work Craig

[@Rodogg7787]

I used to own a car lot with my dad and brother back in the day. It was a sweet deal, but greed got the best of my pops and we dissolved the business!

[@junito1008]

Pretty Nice WINDOW SHOPPING !! 😂👌🏼

[@jwinn1179]

The first movie you asked about with the Enzo was called Redline. The second with the yellow 355 was Boiler Room.

[@FlyingWheels]

well done

[@NoNo-yv7dt]

There was also a yellow 355 in The Rock, Cage steals and crashes it! I think the consensus was that one was a kit car!

[@hottubz1965]

All content with dad or pops is great. Miss my dad, enjoy every moment.

[@MrTimdtoolman1]

Loving the auction content, I enjoy the banter between you and your dad. It's insane what some of these cars are selling for.

[@markf5653]

I would be so lost at such an event. Thanks for sharing this experience with your Dad.

[@everjeff]

Undercover Brother, haha I immediately thought of that movie set crash when I saw that Ferrari!

[@davew9258]

Nope, the Movie he wrecked the Enzo in was called Redline, same actor different movie

[@rickreynolds4472]

Craig, great video but audio is difficult at times. Someone else has probably said something but just wanted you to know! Thanks for all your great material! You are one of the best car content guys bc of your genuineness!

[@BlueCrab251]

Love seeing all the cars! I actually have a 78 Mustang II Mach I with the 5.0. Even though it's a hated era of Mustangs, I get so may comments and looks with it---and not negative ones either. They sold so many of them and were popular during those years. I bought mine out of nostalgia as my parents had one when I was a kid. It was the car that got me into cars, believe it or not.

[@mike_0213]

@18:15 Think I am in love. LOL - I would love to own a Z01 at some point in my life but as it is going now, I feel that is never going to happen and will remain just a dream. What is the old saying? "As soon as you drive away with your new car, you are already in the red and it is worth less then you just bought it for.

[@timr31908]

The old Ford muscle cars always bring the highest dollar

[@bodrexo47]

My current favorite on KZbin. Always on the look out for new content. Keep up the good job

[@junito1008]

4:45 👈🏼🙉 now I need a $1,000,000 ear !!

[@briandrake9467]

I'm on the west coast, bought a 95 short Chevy airbagged ol show truck 95k miles too custom for most, Lay's frame, I love your content...always wondered about traveling coast to coast, I pick cars and trucks and cook awesome food.

[@chrisgallagher3703]

My all time favorite Mustang...1969 Fastback w/ either a 351 or 428 colbra jet. What a car !! The 70 is basically identical with the exception of the motors because they had so many 69's left over and they called the 70 a Mach One !

[@woodrowbunopaddle]

0:55 It's funny to hear you guys talk.. You both got duped by a $50K mustang clone... "it must be worth $150K " That car is $45K value at best.And the Ranchero is probably 15K

[@RightArmDeals]

The big white is a 250es big red wit the maiers plastic kit. I bought a white 250sx plastic kit from Maier's and it cost around $1000 CND once shipped up from the USA

[@fluffyracer]

January Kissimmee auction is amazing, great coverage of your visit. Plan to be down there next year!

[@kevinpts9932]

fun story, My friend used to work for a guy that bought wrecked cars and then rebuilt them and flipped them. The wrecked ENZO was bought by him and redun then sold. He had a fender from that car that was signed by eddie, amongst other various carbon body parts from that car

[@lilredexptsc]

Boiler room is the movie with the yellow 355. I absolutely love that movie! “You’re either slinging crack rock or you got a wicked jump shot”

[@DukeICT]

Fun channel. Watching you learn the auction game is fun. My families been participating in the auctions for over 20 years.

[@markwukoman6847]

My first car was a 74 Gremlin X. Bought it brand new for a tick under 3 grand. It was white with and orange stripe along the side. Levi interior. I had one on order, blue with the 304 and 3 speed tranny but

[@marksutcliffe409]

Yellow 355 was in Boiler Room and also "The Rock" with Sean Connery and Nicholas Cage

[@jgm9927]

My fav? 2006 Chevy pickup.i have one with 275k on it. Dependable, reliable, totally bulletproof! Just a good all around work truck!

[@roundcornerent]

Honda ATC 250R 1985 1986 AND SAME FOR350X BEST 3wheelers ever made period. The difference between the 1984 250 r and the 1985 was like going from a chevette to a corvette .

[@JSTONEY87]

Thanks for the experience to see all these great cars & trucks Craig ...from SC

[@jowens4883]

My mother had a 1971 Mac One in canary yellow. I remember driving around in that car. Like it was yesterday.

[@dominiccollins6037]

The captions !!! Aaaarrrrgggghhh. Love the content Craig. The captions do my nut in. Lol

[@brooksobrien5290]

The red corvette "custom" you point out is a copy of a GM factory race Corvette called a GS. There was a coupe version and the real ones were full racecar under the body. GM answer to the Shelby Cobra roadster. Factory sold the project when the factories banned racing. George Wintersteen raced a similar GS in 1966-1968, his was white and blue, famous car.

[@davemessenger1944]

Mecum in Orlando is too expensive. Too mamy people with too much money. Kansas City is the place for deals you are looking for>

[@orangecayman520]

Phone and online bids exist.

[@cs1375]

Too Many Self-Indulgent Wieners In This City With Too Much Bloody Money.

[@cs1375]

@OrangeCayman520 I don't think that changes the fact that the original commenter said it's too expensive there. Plus, it would be pretty tough for me at least to buy a car I hadn't seen in person.

[@adbelljr]

Could you have registered that salvage title Bentley in NH? I’m from Amherst NH, moved to Fort Lauderdale and would buy a salvage title car, scares me too mych

[@WerkToday]

Craig, contact Kaplan cycles or the New England motorcycle museum here in CT.. if you're looking for a three-wheeler they are the best in the world at finding old bikes. I'm sure they could help you out..

[@aaronbritt2025]

@4:21... I love the golf cart parked next to the "no golf carts" sign. '89 is the 25th Anniversary Edition. They're the most valuable year. They're easy to spot because they have lovers instead of scoops behind the windows. @31:55... It's an Olds V8. Similar to the one in the Aurora. @35:00... The GTS is rarer. It's a better car, and this one is blue/white, which gets more money than red. @37:00... The LT5 was designed by Lotus and built by Mercury Marine. Yeah, I'm an encyclopedia of useless car knowledge. I've been storing this info in my head since before Wikipedia existed (since before the internet).

[@paulharden9900]

I've been to the Mecum Auction in Kissimmee a few times prior to 2020. My biggest challenge with the Mecum event is that if there is not a specific vehicle you are interested in is when to go. Do you go at the beginning , in the middle, or at the end of the auction. I think there are still some deals to be had if something you like is running late in the day during the week. Just to bring good shoes!

[@19jarhead66]

I liked the 60’s, 70’s room, love those cars.

[@bobmanzi7712]

great stuff thanks. that looked like fun.

[@pugs9278]

Love them all, but I’m an Italian from NY. I saw a 1977,78 or 79. Oldsmobile 98 regency coupe in the background!!!!

[@xDarkAngelxc]

10:30 That's crazy my heart would have jumped out of my chest if that happened to me 😂

[@bassandglof]

Yellow Ferrari ….Boiler Room! “Yo, rizzi’s the color!”😊😂

[@your_virtuoso]

the boiler room. Love the movie Rizzo's the color 50 cent's 'you aint no gangsta' is one of the songs on the movie. This is before he blewup and signed for Eminem and the doctor

[@MadeInNewYork73]

Grew up in a Buffalo 'burb - good thing cuz your Dad is someone I'd have partied with. Except for the exotics (70s we didn't see many in Rustville) EVERY CAR he looked at turned my head! Best BF had a 70 Chevelle SS 396 grey/black....my 1st car (at 18) was a Grabber Blue Mustang 6 cyl but Sportsroof. 2nd 73 Gran Torino new, one car I dated was bright yellow 74 Vette..waited for over a yr, totalled at 600 mi. YEP..loves the good stuff just like your grandpa. Sure I'm not the only fan of your Dad & his Dad!

[@mtrofa447]

The 4 liter in the Shelby was the Oldsmobile motor from the Aurora

[@lmoutlander]

Your father is correct, the Boss 429 is a hemi motor. Too bad the hood wasn't open because the heads are huge.

[@Billyboy4209]

Definitely a great day to be alive! Lol love that song!!

[@shawnm.1540]

Great video, I really enjoyed it! I'm sure you did as well getting to walk around and enjoy all of those cars with your father.

[@danielperez-wu6qq]

I had a 185S, loved it, but a lot of bumps and scrapes.

[@sarahconnery9223]

Sorry if it’s been said before but a the very end of the video in the background wasn’t that Wayne Carini form chasing cars?? Love the videos very interesting to see the price difference between there and Here in the uk!

[@Rodogg7787]

Do you ever go to the Monday auction in Orlando fla? I used to go every week back in the day! The last 2 lanes are red carpet and for big $ cars only! I saw the most badass Toyota supra 1/60 that would outrun any production car of its time! This was way back in the day! But it was still such a huge auction and we'd get there at 6am, the auction starts at 10 or 11, but we checked All the cars throughly, so we knew exactly what we was buying when it came through the lane!

[@blackri75]

Thanks for showing the inside of the auction. I always wanted to be at one.

[@danwhitson610]

When Dad told Craig that Adam was his favorite!!🤣🤣🤣

[@SunnynPhilly]

Yea, that was hilarious. 😂

[@peterberberian]

great content, next time you really need a lav mic for an event so noisy. $40 at B&H

[@Bmstaudy]

Been waiting for this video

[@Jdjd12288]

Great video thanks

[@aarondanelong2078]

The 355 in yellow the rock about alcatraz what a stunning colour not many cars look beautiful in yellow 😍 and it was a lotus design engine for the c4

[@michealmitchell5996]

The Shelby series one has Oldsmobile aurora, platform

[@LBIHarper]

Hahaha! In 2000 the "Boiler Room" had a 1996 Yellow Ferrari F355 Spider. Also, the movie "The Rock" with Nicolas Cage and Sean Connery, and the chase scene that stole the show as Cage was behind the wheel of a 1996 Yellow Ferrari F355 Spider, tearing up the streets of San Francisco and totaling the car in the process.

[@iancolePRD129G]

Loved this video Craig 🙂

[@zerofour1435]

Guys, I just spent a 7 day trip visiting New England from Florida. It's been a blast here. And on my last day, I went to see Craig at his Flying Wheels Dealership in Danville. I have to say, meeting Craig was like seeing a real-life celebrity. Despite his success and social media fame, he was actually so humble and kind, just like he is on screen; just like I knew he would be. Craig offered merch, a sport bike ride (weather wasn't permitting), and even posed for pictures with me. He spent time chatting and showing me around the lot in the cold, despite the fact he was busy and at the tail end of a long work day. Craig is the real deal! He takes care of his customers, his family, and even a complete stranger-- a young Navy Veteran like myself. Heck-- he personally and quickly answered the shop phone in the morning himself. These days, that's a feat itself! Over the week, I went to Boston, the big University, Salem and many amazing places here in New England, as I've never been up here before. And I can tell you, having such a genuine and wholesome surprise interaction with The Flying Wheels boss man really made this vacation one of the best I've ever had. That being said, with kindness and hard work each and every day, I am absolutely positive Flying Wheels is destined for great things. I'll be posting the pictures I got yesterday on Instagram @lt_dan______ Thanks again for everything Craig! -Phillip

[@WildDigger]

You and your dad should have stopped by the Greater Atlanta Auto Auction on your way home. You could have scored some goid rust free cars. We have all sorts of stuff.

[@89_fhp_fox8]

Yellow 355 in Boiler Room. Great movie!!

[@zaxxon25]

I believe that Cosworth Vega was from the Curious Cars channel ...

[@weezerweezer19]

i love this channel

[@brianbird3756]

Mercury Marine did the v-12 (sledgehammer?), lotus helped with the lt-5

[@FlyingWheels]

spot on

[@dakotaautosales9673]

It did all of the LT5

[@mikeholmed7029]

The Shelby series 1 has a 4.0 litre Olds Aurora engine.

[@dawn2788]

With shipping cost to & from the Mecum Auction, if it doesn't sell. Plus any "Listing Fee", you could easily add $3-4k to cost basis. Do it a few times, and need an extra $10k just to recoup your loss.

[@clubracer6]

We have 18k on on A-spec and really like it a lot. Test drove the Type S and could not justify it. For under 60k the A-spec is truly the best value. We have the red leather with black cloth inserts, which really make it look and feel premium. Going to miss seeing this parked at the far end spot at Costco like the baller you are!

[@jontheodore8450]

They also used a Yellow Ferrari 355 Spider in the movie “The Rock” with Nicolas Cage & Sean Connery, great video

[@FlyingWheels]

well done

[@callforarchives]

Not sure about the platform, but the shelby series 1 has a heavily modified Olds Aurora engine

[@peoplesambassadordm8279]

12:10 miami vice lol... ferrari 355 spider lol.. I think

[@akorotney]

Ford Taurus SHO Engine was a collaboration with the Yamaha corporation. That motor was so strong Ford had to de-tune it due to torque steer. That motor is good for 200,000 miles plus.

[@mikealalexander6053]

mercury marine in stillwater oklahoma designed the zr1 engines

[@Fony_turgeson]

dam your lucky to have a cool dad like that and unlike my dad who left me nothing he gave you his same great head of hair lol

[@TheRealWormsGarage]

I got 2 cars for 2500. A Toyota Prius 2010 and a 2011 ranger. I only got the title for the prius and the other car apparently was still owned by dealer. Well the guy lied and said the prius qas good and he had to find the title for truck... nope he dipped to idk and I had a prius with a bad headgasket

[@fuzzydicemotors8240]

Love your videos. I kept looking to see if I could spot me and my friend Greg. lol!

[@livingon2wheels]

Very cool. We bought a 1996 Chevy Silverado at Mecum Dallas a couple of years ago and it was a great experience. The Mecum team is wonderful. But yeah anything nice is selling for dumb money, :)

[@johnrobertson6110]

Blue/White Viper GTS was my dream car too. Luckily I got it a few years ago before prices jumped!

[@johnrobertson6110]

@OfficialFlyingWheels.seems scammy 🤔

[@risinbison1106]

My sister had the “Farrah” mustang,same paint and all back in the 80’s. She drove that thing everywhere and to hell and back, it was her baby. When the engine finally went, she begged my dad to rebuild it but it just wasn’t worth it. It got parked at the farm and slowly rotted away.

[@klemire9555]

I woulda tried my hardest to get that red Silverado if I had money like that. Cleanest 06 I’ve ever seen ever.

[@derekduso8387]

That woman behind you wasn’t happy with you lol

[@28cthedestroyer]

Lmaooo "freezing cold" with no snow on the ground 🤣🤣🤣

[@jwinn1179]

Also, I had a Honda Fourtrax 250R four wheeler when I was about 12.

[@jwinn1179]

@OfficialFlyingWheels- ummm....this is a scam account? And what's telegram? Lol

[@robertclubs9908]

Awesome car's.

[@brysonmcha]

Love the videos with your your family, next time You, your dad, Papa Al, and your brother need to go and make a video

[@Lahautz]

The women @20:02 was so uncomforted by you filming 😂😂

[@Freespiritblair]

You know your brother Adam....lol. Dude, your Dad and my Dad MUST have taken " how to be a Dad" classes together because mine has said the same thing to me.

[@mexicanspec]

That yellow Ferrari was from a movie where a California You Tuber burned it to the ground. That one was black though.

[@coreymerriman8051]

"You know your brother Adam obviously, right? He's my favorite." 😆 😂

[@6StringSunburst]

Craig, I like the cars that aren't so common. There are too many Corvettes, Camaros and Mustangs at shows and auctions. Give me the Courgars, Buick Gran Sport, 63-65 Rivieras, 66-67 GTO, Javelin, AMX.

[@timr31908]

The Ford 429 boss needed a little tweaking when brand new but you would beat everything

[@patrickmiller8388]

that plum crazy cuda was sweet, curious on what it sold for

[@alexgerstmann3007]

You are correct Mercury Marine built that motor for Chevy that was very exotic inexpensive motor back in the day a lot of the lLs is because of that motor

[@mitchbrandes1456]

Craig, love your work! Get Dad to look up an old movie, actually had John Wayne, and they used a few of the HD 455 Trans Am cars,,,, in the end, one gets totaled between garbage trucks in an alley (whether a cheaper clone or not), Dad might like the actor!..LOL

[@mitchbrandes1456]

sorry, McQ was the title

[@ericbaker5573]

I like the 455 HO TRANS AM, got biggest speeding ticket of my life in Alaska in one in “85

[@thugwaffle427]

Finally some love for the Mustang 2 I’ve been watching Mecum and it didn’t make it on tv but all the stupid lookin foxbody and 90s mustangs did. I got a 78 Mustang 2 Cobra 2 and it’s the coolest mustang besides a boss or 67 68 fastback. All foxbody and 90s mustangs can go in the scrap pile in my junkyard.

[@6StringSunburst]

Craig, I love your coverage at Mecum, but please get your audio figured out when you're inside and competing with the auctioneer.

[@andythrasher1379]

The 4.0 V8 in the Shelby is the Olds Aurora V8 that was used in the Aurora sedan and a hotter version was used in IRL cars.

[@williamwade7059]

It's nice to know that when your kids step out of line that they get told they aren't the favorite.

[@kevinkatzke2083]

Lol 15 minute video nope 39 minutes and change thanks great content,so many amazing cars next to Excellent advice

[@FlyingWheels]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@Fony_turgeson]

i can almost guarantee your father never had stress looks great for his age

[@robertvance1873]

Yes it was a collaboration with mercury outboard engines
