• 5:01
  Don Armstrong: Now, this is a convertible, it's red, as you can see.

  Don Armstrong: You got to get back around.
• 5:08
  Don Armstrong: Oh, it's wait a minute, it's all got also got two tops.
• 5:11
  Don Armstrong: Now, typically this would be a Z06, but I don't think this is.

• 5:20
  Don Armstrong: Well, there you go.
• 5:21
  Don Armstrong: How much did how much did that car sell for?

  Don Armstrong: Jeff Heitzman says 40.
• 5:32
  Don Armstrong: Low Miles has been in the shop.
• 5:33
  Mike Marrs: Yeah.
• 5:34
  Mike Marrs: They've been at the shop a lot.
• 5:36
  Mike Marrs: Yeah.
• 5:36
  Don Armstrong: Okay.
• 5:36
  Don Armstrong: I don't think George is with us.
• 5:38
  Don Armstrong: No, no, there's George.
• 5:39
  Don Armstrong: There's the Luskes with us.
• 5:40
  Don Armstrong: They want 32 for it.
• 5:42
  Don Armstrong: They're willing to pay$32,000 for it.
• 5:46
  Don Armstrong: Um, I guess George is out, you know, cutting the brands.
• 5:49
  Don Armstrong: George, it takes a while to type up all these nines.
• 5:52
  Don Armstrong: Yeah, that's it.
• 5:52
  Don Armstrong: $34,999.
• 5:54
  Don Armstrong: Okay, so the sold car price was$19,845.
• 5:58
  Don Armstrong: I calculated TTL.
• 6:00
  Don Armstrong: I don't, I don't, I think I'd have to pass on that car.
• 6:04
  Mike Marrs: I'd pass.
• 6:04
  Mike Marrs: I don't care for that body style anymore.
• 6:07
  Don Armstrong: Well, I mean, it's okay, but uh the engine is all right.
• 6:13
  Don Armstrong: Next up.
• 6:14
  Don Armstrong: Next up is my car.
• 6:16
  Don Armstrong: A 1969 Chevrolet Camaro.
• 6:19
  Don Armstrong: Uh now, this would be a Z28.
• 6:22
  Don Armstrong: At least it's got the paint job of it.
• 6:24
  Don Armstrong: Well, it's a Z28 tribute car.
• 6:26
  Don Armstrong: Ah, it's a tribute car.
• 6:28
  Don Armstrong: That's okay.
• 6:29
  Don Armstrong: I'd be willing to go with that as long as it had the DZ motor in it.
• 6:33
  Don Armstrong: Because the D Z motor would be worth more than the car itself.
• 6:36
  Mike Marrs: 350 crate with a turbo 350 training.
• 6:39
  Don Armstrong: Okay.
• 6:40
  Don Armstrong: Um, so what do you think that this tribute car would sell for?
• 6:45
  Don Armstrong: 18.
• 6:46
  Don Armstrong: Really?
• 6:47
  Jeff Dziekan: Yep.
• 6:47
  Jeff Dziekan: So you did it again.
• 6:49
  Jeff Dziekan: Mr.

  Jeff Dziekan: Heightsman.
• 6:50
  Jeff Dziekan: What did I do again?

  Jeff Dziekan: You you uh gave me a hint on what the price was by by by saying that.
• 6:57
  Jeff Dziekan: Okay.
• 6:57
  Jeff Dziekan: Go ahead.
• 6:58
  Don Armstrong: Well, I'll shut up.
• 6:59
  Don Armstrong: Heitzman is at 35.
• 7:02
  Don Armstrong: And the Lusk, oh, there's George,$28,999.
• 7:07
  Don Armstrong: And the Lusk family 43.
• 7:10
  Don Armstrong: Well, they're pretty close.
• 7:12
  Don Armstrong: That car sold for$38,325.
• 7:15
  Don Armstrong: You know, I could source some seats.
• 7:18
  Don Armstrong: The problem would be finding a rust-free, a rust-free 69 Camaro.
• 7:27
  Don Armstrong: Tell you how to start with.
• 7:28
  Don Armstrong: So$38,325.
• 7:30
  Don Armstrong: All right, next up, another Corvette's 1966 Chevy Corvette.
• 7:35
  Don Armstrong: Now, I'm gonna tell you uh straight up that that's a big block.
• 7:39
  Don Armstrong: So it's 396.
• 7:40
  Mike Marrs: 454.
• 7:41
  Don Armstrong: 450.
• 7:42
  Don Armstrong: No, that they didn't make a 454 in 1960.
• 7:46
  Mike Marrs: This car has a 454, though.
• 7:47
  Mike Marrs: Okay, all right.
• 7:48
  Don Armstrong: Well, good for it.
• 7:49
  Don Armstrong: So that means that the engine's been changed in it.
• 7:51
  Don Armstrong: It's got uh looks like factory stock sidepipes, and it's got aftermarket wheels on it.
• 7:57
  Don Armstrong: So I just kind of busted the bubble on that one, didn't I?
• 8:01
  Don Armstrong: So what do you think that that car sold for?
• 8:05
  Don Armstrong: 42.
• 8:09
  Don Armstrong: Um Don't GoFundMe.
• 8:11
  Don Armstrong: What way I missed that.
• 8:12
  Mike Marrs: Never mind.
• 8:14
  Mike Marrs: That's another another one, sorry.
• 8:17
  Mike Marrs: I told you what says 30.
• 8:21
  Mike Marrs: Oh, 75.
• 8:22
  Jeff Dziekan: David and Stacy.
• 8:26
  Jeff Dziekan: George.
• 8:27
  Don Armstrong: Well, David and Stacy win again because this car sold for$84,000.
• 8:31
  Don Armstrong: Wow.
• 8:32
  Mike Marrs: I think he watches this stuff pretty close.
• 8:34
  Mike Marrs: Yeah.
• 8:35
  Don Armstrong: $84,000.
• 8:36
  Don Armstrong: Next up, a 1964 Ford Mustang.
• 8:41
  Don Armstrong: Um, so this would be the first model year of the Ford Mustang if this is true.
• 8:45
  Don Armstrong: Um, but uh the price kind of worries me a little bit.
• 8:49
  Don Armstrong: Um, what is that price, Don?
• 8:50
  Don Armstrong: Well, I'm gonna tell you in a minute, but you're gonna guess the price.
• 8:53
  Mike Marrs: Yeah, it's it's got a 260 V8 with only 31,356 miles on it.
• 8:59
  Don Armstrong: Since it's redo.
• 9:01
  Mike Marrs: And it's no radio.
• 9:02
  Mike Marrs: This was a radio delete car.
• 9:05
  Don Armstrong: Well, that's easy to fix.
• 9:07
  Mike Marrs: I never heard of that though, in a 64 and a half.
• 9:09
  Mike Marrs: It's documented to be a true 64 and a half, though.
• 9:12
  Don Armstrong: Okay, well, good.
• 9:14
  Don Armstrong: 15.
• 9:15
  Don Armstrong: 15.
• 9:17
  Mike Marrs: George, is it 1399?

• 9:26
  Mike Marrs: 13, I thought, huh?
• 9:28
  Mike Marrs: George?
• 9:29
  Mike Marrs: No.
• 9:29
  Mike Marrs: And now would you say I said 15, yeah.

• 9:38
  Don Armstrong: It's sold for 31.5.
• 9:40
  Don Armstrong: Which is kind of surprising to me if this is an original.
• 9:43
  Don Armstrong: Yeah, that's that's and is that is that uh uh AC hanging underneath the dash?
• 9:48
  Mike Marrs: Yes, it's add-on AC.
• 9:50
  Don Armstrong: Yeah.
• 9:50
  Don Armstrong: Well, back then I think they were all add-on.
• 9:54
  Don Armstrong: Anyway, so that was kind of surprising.
• 9:56
  Don Armstrong: Okay, next up, I had to throw this in here.
• 9:58
  Don Armstrong: When I saw this, it was kind of surprising.
• 10:01
  Don Armstrong: Uh 2000 Aston Martin DB7.
• 10:05
  Don Armstrong: Nice.
• 10:05
  Mike Marrs: Look at that interior.
• 10:07
  Don Armstrong: I know.
• 10:07
  Don Armstrong: And it's uh it's really a nice looking interior.

• 10:16
  Jeff Dziekan: Yeah, it's a B12 engine.
• 10:18

• 10:20
  Don Armstrong: So what do you what would be your guess?
• 10:23
  Jeff Dziekan: I'm gonna let you tell me what the number is and I'll tell you how close I got to it.
• 10:26
  Don Armstrong: Okay, well, why don't you write it down?
• 10:28
  Don Armstrong: Write it down.
• 10:28
  Don Armstrong: You're gonna write it down.
• 10:30
  Don Armstrong: Okay, because I don't want to know.
• 10:31
  Mike Marrs: I will tell you that it in the notes it said the retail MSRP was 160 for that car.
• 10:37
  Mike Marrs: The retail was 160.
• 10:39
  Don Armstrong: Okay.
• 10:40
  Mike Marrs: ITWING says 50.
• 10:44
  Don Armstrong: David and Stacy say 29.
• 10:47
  Mike Marrs: Question is George.

  Don Armstrong: We love you, George.
• 10:55
  Don Armstrong: Touche, George.
• 10:56
  Don Armstrong: Yeah.
• 10:56
  Don Armstrong: All right, so it sold for$26,250.
• 11:02
  Don Armstrong: They didn't say whether it was running or not.
• 11:04
  Don Armstrong: I said 60.
• 11:04
  Don Armstrong: I wrote down 65.
• 11:06
  Don Armstrong: I see that.
• 11:06
  Don Armstrong: Yeah.
• 11:07
  Don Armstrong: Okay.
• 11:08
  Don Armstrong: Running or not.
• 11:08
  Don Armstrong: All right.
• 11:09
  Don Armstrong: Since we're in jolly old England, let's just keep it up, shall we?
• 11:12
  Don Armstrong: All right.
• 11:13
  Don Armstrong: So uh our 1973 Land Rover is a series three with the tire on the hood.
• 11:21
  Don Armstrong: Why not?
• 11:22
  Don Armstrong: Look at it's got look at the mahogany floors in it.
• 11:25
  Don Armstrong: Yeah, it's teakwood.
• 11:27
  Don Armstrong: Is that what it is?
• 11:28
  Mike Marrs: Yeah, some somebody did some really nice work on this thing.
• 11:31
  Don Armstrong: Yeah.
• 11:32
  Don Armstrong: Okay.
• 11:33
  Don Armstrong: And then painted it that color green.
• 11:35
  Mike Marrs: I don't know.
• 11:36
  Don Armstrong: That doesn't seem like a factory color to me.
• 11:39
  Mike Marrs: Yeah, it's inside the engine compartment, it looks like, so it may be.
• 11:43
  Mike Marrs: It's probably a refresh.
• 11:44
  Don Armstrong: All right.
• 11:44
  Don Armstrong: So how much do you think that that's sold for?
• 11:47
  Don Armstrong: Jeffrey's got 21.
• 11:48
  Don Armstrong: Now, this is Hemings sold car Roundup.

• 12:21
  Jeff Dziekan: I wrote down$82.
• 12:23
  Don Armstrong: Yeah, I know.

  Don Armstrong: No,$30,000.
• 12:31
  Don Armstrong: And does it burn oil?
• 12:32

  Don Armstrong: Okay.
• 13:24
  Mike Marrs: Whatever that means.

  Don Armstrong: I don't know what the market is for that car, but that would be a fun weekend car too.

  Mike Marrs: Six volt, I'm sorry.

• 15:12
  Don Armstrong: Okay.
• 15:14

• 22:13
  Don Armstrong: I know what those are.
• 22:14
  Don Armstrong: Uh yeah, well, I just explained it to you, but I don't even worry about something.
