15:09
Don Armstrong: 57.
15:10
Don Armstrong: And what are the boys saying?

15:18
Don Armstrong: Well, he's only missed it by$200,000 because it sold for$235,000.
15:24
SPEAKER_01: I I would never have dreamed that.
15:26
SPEAKER_01: I mean, I figured it was high, but not anything like that.
15:29
SPEAKER_01: Oof.
15:30
Don Armstrong: Well, listen, when you got when you've got something like that, that doesn't surprise me.
15:35
Don Armstrong: All it takes is one person.
15:37
Don Armstrong: Yep.
15:38
Don Armstrong: Yeah, one person that wants it.
15:40
Don Armstrong: Yep.
15:40
Don Armstrong: Somebody that wants it.
15:42
Mike Marrs: So that's this week's that could be a museum or anything else, you know.
15:48
Jeff Dziekan: I don't think it'd be a daily driver, though.
15:49
Jeff Dziekan: No, God, no, no, no.
15:51
Jeff Dziekan: Parade, maybe, stuff like that.
15:53
Don Armstrong: That would be an enclosed trailer if you took it anywhere.
15:55
Don Armstrong: I'd be afraid to drive it anywhere.
15:57
Mike Marrs: Uh yeah, because I mean, even in a trailer, if somebody run a red light and the thought, boof.
16:01
Mike Marrs: You could be in big trouble with that.
16:03
Don Armstrong: You gotta have it insured.
16:05
Don Armstrong: And you'd have it insured at what the value of it is.
16:08
Don Armstrong: But the the sad part about that is okay, you see you get your buddy back.
16:12
Don Armstrong: But they don't make those cars anymore.
16:14
Don Armstrong: No, no.
16:15
Don Armstrong: That's the sad part about it.
16:16
SPEAKER_05: You wouldn't get the obviously get well and it'll never be the same.
16:21
Don Armstrong: It would never be the same.
16:22
Don Armstrong: And and listen, that that's the saddest part to me.
16:26
Don Armstrong: Forget let's take the price away for a moment, and what you've got there is a factory original 1963, split window coupe with a four-speed manual transmission and fuel injection.
16:40
Don Armstrong: How many do you think they made?
16:42
Don Armstrong: They didn't make that many, uh, first of all, because of the fuel injection.
16:46
Don Armstrong: Right.
16:47
Don Armstrong: The neighbors' brothers and uh I don't know Kenny.
16:51
Don Armstrong: I think it I I don't know whether it's Kenny or his brother.
16:55
Don Armstrong: One of them people sent them that fuel injection system because that's mechanical fuel injection.
17:02
Don Armstrong: It's not like today's fuel injection.
17:04
Don Armstrong: Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
17:05
Don Armstrong: So it was all mechanical and you had to take this thing apart and you had to know what you were doing because there are lots of parts inside of it.
17:10
Don Armstrong: And they screwed up all the time.
17:12
Don Armstrong: That's why they didn't offer it for a very long period of time.
17:15
Don Armstrong: But it was GM's uh original fuel injection.
17:19
Don Armstrong: It's it's a beautiful car, and I'm a huge split window coop fan.
17:24
