• 3:36
  Speaker 1: I don't know how much it costs to post your car and go through the whole thing, but it's a bidding site, basically, that you control.
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: Kind of their own version of eBay Motors.
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: So I have a couple right off the top of the bat here that we're going to talk to Jeff about mainly Okay Must be Cadillacs.

• 3:58
  Speaker 1: Cadillac.
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: So the first one up is and we're going to do these together, and now you'll see the reason why in a minute Jeff Broham, jeff Broham, jd Deacon, 1983, cadillac Coupe de Ville.
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: Now I have to tell you I think it was about 1990-ish that I bought a brand new Cadillac Coupe de Ville.
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: You did Well, not for me personally, but for the wife.
• 4:29
  Speaker 4: Which one was it?
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's not it.
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: But the Coupe de Ville.
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: I didn't go there.
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: I know he did so you shut up.
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: I was just you shut up.
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: Anyway, you all shut up.
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: 1983, cadillac Coupe de Ville.
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: This was the big two-door.
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: But the Coupe was the low end of the models, it was the two-door.
• 4:48
  Speaker 3: It was the two-door.
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah, the Coupe de Ville right, yeah, so 1983, coupe de Ville.
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: We're going to pair that with a 1991 Cadillac El Dorado.
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: Bia Ritz, oh the Bia Ritz, those are awesome vehicles.
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: So that also was a two-door.
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: It's a lot sportier, I would say.
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: But the 83 is a rear drive.
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: The El Dorado by that time was a front-wheel drive.
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: Correct If that makes a difference to you.
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: I don't think most people really care one way or the other, but whatever.
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: So let's start with the 83 Cadillac Coupe de Ville.
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: Mr Mars, what do you think that that would go for on the used car roundup?
• 5:30
  Speaker 4: By being himmings, I'm going to say it's a good shape, so I'm going to go for 12-5.
• 5:34
  Speaker 4: 12-5?
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: 8,500.
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: 8,500.
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: Adventure.
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: That's cool 14.
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: Okay, now let's move on to the 91 Cadillac Eldorado.
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: Be a rat, so you weren't listening, he wasn't.
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I said we're gonna pair these two and you'll see why in a minute.
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: First of all they are Cadillacs, okay, and second of all they're Cadillacs, you'll see exactly.
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: So what do you think, mr Mars, the 91 Cadillac Eldorado be a rinse would go for?
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: I'll say 10, 10, conrad, seven, seven, jeffrey, 12, 12.
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: Both cars Sold for drumroll $6,600 for both.
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: Capita's up.
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: No, no for the pair, for the pair.
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: They both sold for $6,600 each.
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, which I thought was unusual in the fact that they both sold for the same amount of money.
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: One was an 83 big Coop Deville.
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: The other one was kind of a small 91, cadillac, eldorado.
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: Be a Ritz.
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: The be a Ritz was kind of the top of the line, yeah, fancy.
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: I had.
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: I had an elbow of that generation, except mine had an old one be a 5, 7 diesel in it.
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: Oh lord, I'm sorry.
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah like 35 miles to a gallon.
• 7:06
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 7:08
  Speaker 4: Running as long as it was running.
• 7:11
  Speaker 4: Okay, here's a fun one ready.
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: 67 Chevrolet C10, but they call a square body it.
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: Okay, whatever.
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: 67 Cadillac C10.
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: It looks clean.
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: Nothing special about it Now, granted, I don't know, I didn't dig that deep about Rust and mileage and all that stuff.
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: It looks like a clean truck, 67 stock, looking clean, a dark brown or something.
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: Long bed short bed it looks like a long bed.
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: 67 Chevy C10.
• 7:42
  Speaker 4: Mars, and then things are popular.
• 7:45
  Speaker 3: I would say 12, 5, 12, 5 15, 15, wow, I'll go in the middle 14.
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: Okay, well, you're close.
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: 16 905 is what it sold for.
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: Can you imagine I really it's remarkable how some of those older trucks have not just retained value, have exploded in value Steel dashes no pad is more than the like are you kidding?
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: It is the basic no cruise control, probably no power windows or brakes and what I don't probably has a straight in line six in it, so that's okay even if it's got the 350.
• 8:20
  Speaker 4: I don't understand you.
• 8:21
  Speaker 4: For 16,000 you can't buy it and hot rod it, you know drop it the suspension or chop it or what the things that hot rod is Do, because you got too much money in it and it's too nice.
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: Well then this one.
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: It looks like it's a stock.
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: It even has it looks like it's got trim rings on the wheels.
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: So what do you do with it?
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: I guess, drive it.
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: Drive it, hot rod tour of Texas, just keep it running you know, be pretty easy to keep running.
• 8:46
  Speaker 3: Let the patina fall on it.
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: I don't like that truck that we saw at auto-rama this year that still had the plastic on the seats in the car.
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: The truck was 2025, over in front of the bathroom.
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that had been undelivered.
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: Is that what it was?
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: That's the way I looked at that, because not only did it still have the plastic on the seats, it had all the little Consumer tags on it.
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: You know, here's the tag for the radio telling you what, what, what to do.
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: There was a tag on the door for the power windows and stuff.
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: That was kind of a cool truck, but you know who else has cars like that.
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: Darryl was new ski Bayway group of automobile dealers and I went to his, his showroom of Private showroom, of his collection of classic cars and valuable Collector cars and he has one like not this particular truck, but he's got one and it was a Ford GT, still had all the plastic on the seats and everything.
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah truly, and that's probably tripled in value 165 they originally were all right, a 1991.
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: I had to do this.
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: 1991.
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: Mercedes-benz 250 G D.
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: It's a G wagon, basic right of Conrad's.
• 9:59
  Speaker 3: Zola in 1991.
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: I've never been a big fan of these, but because of, basically, the price.
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: So this is a 91 2001, 2011, 2000 so it's 30 years old, is that right?
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: Mm-hmm, okay, almost 35.
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: 91, mercedes-benz 250 G D 30,000 I.
• 10:22
  Speaker 3: Was thinking 25 22 73,500 dollars Come on Exactly and it's been recalled All of them.
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: It's been driven by a Kardashian.
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: Here's a car that Chevrolet totally screwed the poo John when they built this thing, and the only reason being is it wasn't the first one.
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: Well, I know Won't be the last one 2004 Chevrolet SSR.
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: Oh boy, I love the look of it.
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: A dollar, a dollar.
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: But it was so under horsepower, it's just pathetic.
• 11:00
  Speaker 4: It was a shame what they did to that, you know.
• 11:02
  Speaker 4: Like you say, it was very appealing physically.
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: I thought and it was a convertible, a hard top, convertible, yeah, a retractable hard top and it went down behind the seat.
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: It was very cool.
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: The bed was worthless because it had a cover over the solid cover over the top of it.
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: It only lifted to like 30 degrees.
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I think she needs to go out.
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: And they, they.
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: They also sold as an accessory a storage unit that you could roll in and out of it Just so.
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: Oh, I had.
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: I probably had a dozen of them as company cars.
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: I loved them, I thought they were fun, but if you took their clothes off it's a Chevy Trailblazer SS.
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: The suspension, the drive train, the engine, all of that stuff was Chevy Trailblazer SS.
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: So there was a version with the 400 horse V8 in it towards the end and you could get a six-speed manual.
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: It was too late.
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: By then They'd already ruined it.
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: Yep, oh, anyway, all right, 2004.
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: What do you think that that thing sold for?
• 12:03
  Speaker 4: Mars 24.

  Speaker 1: 14.
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: 7 was what it sold for.

  Speaker 1: I had to throw this one in there because it caught my attention the 1932 Chevrolet Confederate.
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: Oh, it was a.
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: It's a two-door convertible top.
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: It's really cool looking.
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna, I'm gonna put my finger over the price.
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: You can't see it, but there you go oh, yeah, oh yeah, it looks like it's all stock Two-seater, uh-huh.

  Speaker 2: Uh-huh, yeah, I'd never heard of a convertible.
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: I've never heard of a convertible.

  Speaker 1: Probably got a rumble seat in it too.
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it does.
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: Probably Big white whites on it, wire wheels I mean, it was fancy for the day I think there's one that comes out to Craig's every now and then I'd say 15.

  Speaker 1: Mars is the closest, without going over $16,800.
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: I would buy that car, but I don't know where the heck I'd put it because you can't fit it in the garage.
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you couldn't put it in your driveway.
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: Well, that's pretty much it.

  Speaker 1: A 51 Willis utility wagon, what's?
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: He talking about.

• 14:48
  Speaker 1: I don't think it is, but whatever.
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: Back before sport utilities were sport utilities.
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah, back in this particular era it was like ugly.
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: I don't think there's so tons of them, but anyway, 51 Willis utility wagon, I'll go 12.
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: , 12.
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: , 17.
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: , 17.

• 15:34
  Speaker 1: $8,600.
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: That would be a fun car to have in the garage.
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and finally, we're going to do the 56 Volkswagen Beetle.
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: A 56 Volkswagen Beetle that we've all grown up with.
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: It's been around forever.
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: The only thing that defined the years back then.
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: Was it zero to 60 time?
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: It took years to get to 60 miles an hour and a long downhill and that back window Remember it started off as that little round the original ones were oval split windows.
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah, oh then, they changed to an oval, and then they changed to the bigger window.
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah Well, this one appears to have the bigger window, but it's still a 56.
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: Not that made any difference really.
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: I guess that they kind of made modifications to the engine, but very little.
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah, a whole 42 horsepower, probably, yep.
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: So a 56 Volkswagen Beetle, extra clean looking black, with a red interior, white wall tires, what do you think?
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: 12.
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: , 12.
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: , 8.
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: , 8.
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: , 10.
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: Well, all of you have missed it.
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: By a ton $23,100.
• 16:40
  Speaker 4: Oh boy, that's the sold price.
• 16:42
  Speaker 3: That's the sold price.
• 16:43
  Speaker 3: Probably got an LS in.
• 16:44
  Speaker 4: it Must have hidden something else in there.
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: Well, it's probably been fully restored.
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah, because it looks like it's a brand new car.
• 16:50
  Speaker 4: Well, I was thinking with the red interior.
• 16:52
  Speaker 4: I don't think I ever saw a red interior no, I don't think there were any.
• 16:55
  Speaker 4: So somebody, somebody's been working on it.
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: Yeah exactly yeah, and I think it's a little overpriced.
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: But whatever, cool car it is.
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: But don't mind for speed, that's for sure.
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: Jeff has a special feature for us.
• 17:10
  Speaker 3: Oh okay, Let me pull that up.
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: Okay, and when you told me you were going to do this, I thought how perfect, love it.
• 17:17
  Speaker 3: Let's do it.
• 17:17
  Speaker 3: Well, this is all about Santa, since it is his time of the reason for the season.
• 17:23
  Speaker 3: Yeah, reason for the season.
• 17:25
  Speaker 3: Excuse me and let me get this going here.
• 17:27
  Speaker 3: You ready?
• 17:29
  Speaker 3: Yeah, all right.
• 17:30
  Speaker 3: So Santa's sleigh looks charming, though it seems to be antiquated, but we suspect it's way more cutting edge than he lets on.
• 17:40
  Speaker 3: Think about it.
• 17:40
  Speaker 3: Does it make sense that Santa's elves would have adopted an autopilot system?
• 17:44
  Speaker 3: That would give any Tesla a run for its money?
• 17:47
  Speaker 3: For safety, the sleigh is equipped with a special blind spot monitoring system specifically designed to alert Santa and the reindeer to the presence of aircraft and large birds.
• 17:56
  Speaker 3: The sleigh's typical rear view camera would also get an upgrade and is likely designed to scan in every direction to ensure Santa's path is always clear for takeoff and landing.
• 18:06
  Speaker 3: The system would most likely be aided by thermal imaging.
• 18:11
  Speaker 3: The sleigh's dashboard, as you see there, is dominated by Santa's own GPS navigation, so the elves could map out Santa's millions of stops before Christmas Eve, just to make sure Santa doesn't miss anyone.
• 18:23
  Speaker 3: The sleigh definitely has a built-in naughty or nice sensor mic.
• 18:27
  Speaker 3: Santa updated on children's activities right down to the last minute.
• 18:31
  Speaker 3: This is important, as even the most minor of naughty deeds Conrad committed within the final few hours of December 24.
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: Dirty deeds, wasn't that to ACDs?
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: Dirty deeds, yeah.
• 18:44
  Speaker 3: Dirty deeds.
• 18:45
  Speaker 3: This pedometer on the sleigh's dashboard allows Santa to monitor his flying speed.
• 18:49
  Speaker 3: State of the art radio keeps him constant touch with Mrs Claus and the team at the North Pole.
• 18:55
  Speaker 3: They send him minute-to-minute updates on local weather reports and toy inventory.
• 19:00
  Speaker 3: That's very important, Okay, well, moving on when it comes to Santa's toy bag, you're probably wondering how he fits all his presents in one bag.
• 19:08
  Speaker 3: Think of a multi-dimensional present compartment in the form of a traditional gift sack.
• 19:13
  Speaker 3: Santa's toy bag, as we know it really acts as a portal between the sleigh and the North Pole.
• 19:18
  Speaker 3: I couldn't figure that out until I'm this age.
• 19:21
  Speaker 3: Be me more toys, Scotty.
• 19:23
  Speaker 3: However, we'd also like to think that Santa may have harnessed the power of nanotechnology and found a way to miniaturize millions of presents into one large bag.
• 19:33
  Speaker 3: This information does seem to be a little unconfirmed, though.
• 19:37
  Speaker 3: Santa's sleigh incorporates a stardust antimatter propulsion unit for power.
• 19:41
  Speaker 3: That is still very real possibilities here in today's vehicles.
• 19:46
  Speaker 3: Here's how it works.
• 19:47
  Speaker 3: Antimatter is the opposite of regular matter, the mere image of normal particles that make up everything we can see or touch.
• 19:55
  Speaker 3: The big draw to antimatter is the amount of energy it helps create.
• 19:59
  Speaker 3: When antimatter and matter come into contact, they alienate each other, breaking apart into tons of smaller particles and 100% of their masses convert to energy.
• 20:08
  Speaker 3: That's how he gets around Conrad, Star Trek.
• 20:11
  Speaker 3: We have reason to believe Santa's clever elves would have figured out a way to combine this stardust antimatter propulsion unit with electric motor for high-tech, one-of-a-kind hybrid power train of the sleigh.
• 20:23
  Speaker 3: So it's an EV?
• 20:24
  Speaker 3: Yeah, could be.
• 20:25
  Speaker 3: We bet, for example, that the sleigh is the slaves, the elves.
• 20:29
  Speaker 3: That's a different one.
• 20:32
  Speaker 3: That's a different holiday.
• 20:33
  Speaker 3: Mike the elves have borrowed a trick from the mainstream automakers and installed Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone integration.
• 20:44
  Speaker 3: We won't speculate whether Santa's a Google guy or an Apple aficionado, but the sleigh is probably equipped with either.
• 20:49
  Speaker 3: Or Santa can use his voice recognition to text Mrs Claus.
• 20:53
  Speaker 3: Catch up on his favorite in-wheel time podcast during the Christmas ride playlist Catch up.

  Speaker 2: Insanity General.
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: Motors is issued a stop sale order on nearly 3,000 of its highly profitable Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra full-size pickups because of a roof issue.

• 21:38
  Speaker 1: Customers with affected Silverados or Sierra are being instructed to contact a dealership to schedule a repair.
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: Do not, do not take it to the car wash, or better yet, if you really want to know if it's working or not, if the split has happened, then take it to the car wash and you'll find out real quick, because it's basically right up there at the roof rail where they put together the roof top and the surround around the door Up on the roof top click, click, click.
• 22:09
  Speaker 2: My roof came off.
• 22:10
