Selling 10 Cars to Fix a Gullwing

[00:00] Welcome to Hooies Garage, the dumbest

[00:01] automotive channel in all of YouTube.

[00:03] And this is basically my version of Moby

[00:05] Dick, the classical novel, the giant

[00:07] whale that I'm chasing to the ends of

[00:09] the earth to my own personal ruin

[00:11] because a few weeks ago, I blew the

[00:13] motor on this Mercedes 300 SL going

[00:15] after spending a lot of money fixing it

[00:17] up. And well, now it's going to need a

[00:19] lot more money. So, I didn't think I was

[00:21] going to have this big hoopy cellathon

[00:23] this year. But then two things happened.

[00:25] Number one, I bought five cars at

[00:27] Barrett Jackson in Florida. And then

[00:29] number two, this happens. So now I'm

[00:31] selling 10 cars to pay for fixing this a

[00:34] one. And some of them are going to be

[00:36] extremely painful to sell. So let's get

[00:38] the most painful cars out of the way to

[00:40] the least of the 10. Like I said, in

[00:42] order of most painful to least painful

[00:44] and the most painful has got to be the

[00:46] 2006 Cadillac Escalade EXT. With 18,000

[00:50] original miles, short of not being

[00:52] riptide blue, it is the holy grail for

[00:55] me as far as this generation of Escalade

[00:57] in super low mileage in amazing

[01:00] condition. California car before that.

[01:02] So, the undercarriage is just perfect.

[01:04] But here's the thing. When I bought

[01:06] this, it came with sort of a bad

[01:09] experience because I traded off my Eldo

[01:11] rod, the El Dorado that was all

[01:13] customized and I thought it'd sell for,

[01:15] you know, $15,000, 17 maybe on its best

[01:18] day because it sold three times at

[01:20] auction for around that money and it

[01:22] went on bring a trailer. The guy who

[01:23] bought it for me, Spencer, amazing guy,

[01:24] Geneva Motorcars, and it brought

[01:27] $55,000.

[01:29] I traded that for this along with some

[01:32] other cars and things. So, ever since

[01:34] then, in the past year or so of owning

[01:36] this Escalade, all I can think about

[01:37] when I look at it is how dumb I was for

[01:40] doing all the research on that El Rod

[01:42] and not taking it to the finish line

[01:44] myself at auction rather than just uh

[01:46] selling it off. But it had no title.

[01:48] That was the thing. It's a concept car.

[01:50] It couldn't be driven on regular public

[01:51] roads. It made no sense that it brought

[01:53] that kind of money, but just two guys

[01:54] going crazy. So, instead of enjoying

[01:56] this car, I mostly look at it and go,

[01:58] "Oh, it's so pretty." and not drive it.

[02:00] But then also at the same time thinking,

[02:01] "Wow, I was a total moron." So to get

[02:04] out of it, what I think it's kind of

[02:06] worth it, that's fine. It's painful. It

[02:09] hurts because I'll never find another

[02:10] one again. But, you know, so I shot that

[02:13] Escalade part about a week ago before

[02:15] the Escalade left. I wanted to catch it

[02:16] and film it before. And uh well, I got

[02:19] an email from a dealer buddy of mine in

[02:21] Arizona that he got an Escalade on

[02:23] trade. So this is my 2005 Escalade I've

[02:26] had for almost 5 years. It's been in

[02:27] Arizona for a while now. And this is a

[02:31] 2003 Cadillac Escalade EXT. So I went

[02:35] from 06 to 03. This one was $11,000. I

[02:39] sold the other one for a whole lot more.

[02:40] $179,000 mi on this one, but it's not

[02:44] any ext. It is the XS500

[02:48] EXT, which what does that mean? I didn't

[02:51] know until it was texted to me either.

[02:52] But basically, this is a period Escalade

[02:55] V that I could not say no to. So that

[02:58] 500 means 500 horsepower. From the

[03:00] factory, it would have been 345

[03:02] horsepower. And this one is now

[03:05] supercharged. Yep. A lot of extra stuff

[03:09] going on here with the 6 L Vortek to 500

[03:12] horsepower. And it's a lifelong Arizona

[03:14] car. So it's in fantastic. I mean, it's

[03:16] in unbelievably good condition. It's

[03:18] just as nice, say, as this 105,000 mi

[03:21] one. Not too far off from the 18,000 mi

[03:23] one. And it has a lot of cool stuff on

[03:25] it. Like this visor here. I've never

[03:27] seen on any other Escalade before. This

[03:29] is so cool with the uh trucker kind of

[03:32] lights there on top. It has these

[03:34] aftermarket 20-in wheels versus the

[03:37] factory 20s on here. And I do really

[03:39] like the look of them. But if you see

[03:41] the inside of my stock Escalade,

[03:44] a lot of plastic in here. You know, GM

[03:46] of this era was not too keen on hiding,

[03:49] you know, hard plastics and all that

[03:51] stuff. A little bit of wood. Uh, but

[03:53] somebody took it upon themselves to

[03:55] bling up the interior on this thing as

[03:58] well. So, you go inside of this one and

[04:01] there is a lot of wood. Uh, a lot more

[04:04] of the peel and stick wood kit to match

[04:06] on every surface imaginable, which is

[04:10] very goofy. I'm not a big fan of, but

[04:12] it's funny that somebody did it along

[04:14] with this deer ride labeled dash cover.

[04:19] I I don't understand that one either.

[04:22] But this is the same thing. It's the

[04:23] EXT, which is the Avalanche. So, these

[04:26] seats fold down and then you can fold

[04:28] down this window and everything else and

[04:30] make it an eight foot bed. You can take

[04:31] these panels off as well. So, it is an

[04:33] extremely practical machine. You can see

[04:36] uh WeatherTech mats and a full-size

[04:38] spare here, a matching chrome wheel.

[04:40] Does it have one underneath?

[04:43] It does not. So, a good thing for it to

[04:45] have a spare. But listen to this.

[04:51] A lot more going on here.

[04:54] I I don't want to make the neighbors

[04:55] mad, but I I could not I could not

[04:58] refuse it. Even though I just sold one

[05:00] and needed money, I no there there was

[05:03] no refusing this period escalade V, if

[05:08] you will. It is It is crazy. May is

[05:11] mental health awareness month. The

[05:12] perfect time to break the stigma and

[05:14] talk about how the well-being of our

[05:15] mental health is just as important to

[05:17] take care of as our physical health. And

[05:19] you don't have to go through any of it

[05:20] alone because with today's sponsor,

[05:21] BetterHelp, there's always someone with

[05:23] you who is trained to listen. I hit a

[05:25] low point not long ago when it came to

[05:27] burnout. Nothing seemed fun at all. Even

[05:30] my hooptie fleet, just an endless hole

[05:32] of work and financial obligations that I

[05:34] could never dig myself out of. Therapy

[05:36] helped me recognize what I was feeling

[05:38] was textbook burnout and force myself to

[05:41] do things to take myself out of work,

[05:43] not to constantly think about the

[05:44] hundreds of things I need to do. By

[05:46] setting boundaries during downtime and

[05:48] with family, this is where BetterHel can

[06:12] we go.

[06:17] It It sounds like a tornado under the

[06:20] hood. It doesn't woo like a Ric Flair

[06:22] like a lot of superchargers where it

[06:23] goes woo. It's just It's just an almost

[06:26] turboy kind of whoosh to this thing that

[06:28] is pretty cool. But also, I mean, it's

[06:32] just unsettling because I've owned so

[06:34] many of these Escalades. I know exactly

[06:36] how they feel. I know what normal feels

[06:37] like. This is so different.

[06:47] It's It's so much faster. It is. I mean,

[06:49] it's almost off-putting that it

[06:55] I've never had a supercharger like just

[06:58] just blow. There's no woo to it at all.

[07:01] And it's so cool. I cannot believe this

[07:03] popped in my lap for $11,000. And it

[07:06] solves the problem of the other XT that

[07:09] I sold with $18,000 mi. It was so low

[07:11] mileage that I was scared to use it. So,

[07:13] I didn't use it as a truck. I didn't use

[07:15] it for a lot of things. And this one,

[07:18] 179,000 mi. Yeah, it's in nice shape.

[07:20] But I'm not going to take any value away

[07:22] from driving this thing and using it as

[07:24] intended because even though this thing

[07:26] was very expensive when new, I Googled

[07:28] it and it was an expensive package. So

[07:29] you had to pay like $90,000 for this

[07:31] thing back in 2003, which is which is

[07:33] crazy.

[07:38] Oh god.

[07:42] Somebody bought it and drove it. I don't

[07:44] know how many are made. I like I said, I

[07:46] didn't know this existed until it was

[07:48] texted to me. Then I Googled it and you

[07:49] know through the internet and history

[07:50] and all that stuff you're able to find

[07:51] some stuff.

[07:54] It just shows

[07:59] it just shows how versatile this

[08:02] platform is. The GMT800 platform, the

[08:04] Escalade was the top dog, but they had

[08:06] the Silverado SS. It's so many different

[08:08] things. And this engine such a popular

[08:10] choice for people wanting to, you know,

[08:12] LS swap or LQ swap, I guess, since it is

[08:14] the Iron Head. It's not the full

[08:16] aluminum LS. It's just such a popular

[08:18] engine and so tough. And honestly,

[08:21] there's a little bit more looseness in

[08:23] the steering, I guess, but I don't feel

[08:26] that much of a difference between the

[08:28] 18,000 mi one or the 105,000 mi one in

[08:31] the driveway. They're actually really

[08:33] close. Although, this is the older one,

[08:35] so it doesn't have the full gauges like

[08:37] the later ones. This is sort of the

[08:38] older style. This is like a late 2002

[08:41] build, so it doesn't have all the

[08:42] refinements yet. But

[08:45] uh this the supercharger that's crazy.

[08:48] Like if I were to do this to any of the

[08:50] Escalades I have, I'd be spending

[08:52] $67,000 on the parts and then a bunch in

[08:54] labor. And I got a whole Escalade for

[08:58] what a supercharger swap would cost. And

[09:00] a nice one with cold air and everything

[09:01] working. So, can you blame me? Can you

[09:04] blame me for doing this? I know it

[09:05] sounds really stupid for me to sell an

[09:07] Escalade, say I need money, and then a

[09:08] week later's the exact same thing. But

[09:11] can you blame me for doing this? Okay.

[09:13] Okay. I slipped a little bit. I was down

[09:15] to three Escalades. Now I'm back up to

[09:16] four. That's on me. But I also have

[09:19] three Mercedes S-Class equivalents right

[09:21] now. So that's why this one is the next

[09:23] one to go. My 2004 Maybach 62. And this

[09:26] one is live right now on Cars and Bids.

[09:28] No reserve. Currently with 107,000 m on

[09:31] it. I've had it for 4 years. And it's

[09:33] been an amazing, really reliable

[09:35] machine. The only work has been under

[09:37] warranty for the brakes. Both brake

[09:39] pumps replace to the tune of $15,000 a

[09:41] piece. So, it has brand new brake hubs.

[09:43] That's the nice part of it being high

[09:44] mileage is those pumps got done. And

[09:47] that is the Achilles heel of this car.

[09:48] Now, it has the latest and greatest

[09:49] braking system and software. And this is

[09:52] the rare partition car as well. But I

[09:55] haven't driven it much in the last year

[09:57] at all. Now, I have the S500, the 1997.

[10:00] I have the Mercedes 6.9 as well. So, I

[10:03] really don't need this Mercedes

[10:04] limousine even though it is really cool.

[10:06] It's the most expensive of that bunch.

[10:09] It's really dark in here, but you can

[10:10] see the reclining seats, the partition,

[10:12] all that stuff. This is also on Jay

[10:14] Leno's garage. I went to California,

[10:16] drove it out there, and we did a video

[10:18] with it. So, a lot of memories with this

[10:20] car, but I've definitely had my fun

[10:22] after 4 years. Interesting. The

[10:23] extension cord got tucked in that way.

[10:25] After 4 years, it is time to let go and

[10:28] go down to a much more reasonable amount

[10:30] of Mercedes S-Classes. Even though the

[10:32] Maybach isn't really an S-Class, it's

[10:33] close enough. So, I'm going to go down

[10:34] to two. Yeah.

[10:39] Yeah, I did it again. This time it is a

[10:41] downgrade, a major downgrade, but still

[10:43] a really cool machine that is

[10:45] mechanically totaled several times over.

[10:47] So, this is a 2013 Mercedes S350 diesel,

[10:52] the last generation of Mercedes diesel

[10:55] S-Class in the United States. And so, I

[10:58] am back up to three S-Classes. They

[11:00] unbadged the back of this thing to keep

[11:01] it more stealth. Also got it scraped

[11:04] against the garage door. Some old people

[11:05] things going on here. curved wheels and

[11:07] all that stuff. But the big issues are

[11:09] with the engine, unfortunately. A friend

[11:11] of mine, Spencer, at Geneva Motorcars

[11:13] took this on trade. And unfortunately,

[11:15] it has a bad turbo where oil is getting

[11:17] into it and making a mess. So, that

[11:19] needs to be replaced along with many

[11:21] other issues like the brakes, the front

[11:23] shocks. They're stuck in sport mode.

[11:25] They're airride, as you can see,

[11:26] sticking out here. Uh, among many other

[11:28] things to the tune. If this was at a

[11:29] Mercedes dealer, it'd be$25, $30,000 to

[11:32] fix everything on this car. I think we

[11:34] can fix it for a very small fraction of

[11:36] that. and Spencer was kind enough to

[11:37] sell it for me for only $8,000. So, an

[11:40] incredible deal considering how much

[11:41] these cost when new. And there are some

[11:43] benefits. All the S350s were all-wheel

[11:45] drive, so it's an all-wheel drive

[11:47] platform. Of course, I had the S600. One

[11:49] of my first viral videos was the 2007

[11:52] S600 of the same chassis and generation.

[11:54] And this one, it has some things in

[11:56] common with it other than the chassis.

[11:58] Basically has the fancy S600 interior,

[12:00] the premium interior. I think this is

[12:02] the black Dino interior with the leather

[12:04] stitch dashboard. the fancy wood as well

[12:07] and the higher quality leather as well

[12:10] along with rear entertainment which my

[12:12] S600 didn't have.

[12:14] Pretty neat. So very much all of Maybach

[12:17] here although no refrigerator or

[12:18] champagne flutes but uh three remotes

[12:21] really do we need three remotes for the

[12:23] TVs? That's that's kind of a lot.

[12:25] Reclining rear seats as well. So you do

[12:27] have some of that Maybach touch there

[12:29] but for a fraction of the price or at

[12:31] least I hope since I am selling the

[12:32] Maybach no reserve on cars and bids. I I

[12:35] hope it'll bring more than $8,000. It

[12:36] should bring a lot more than that. But

[12:38] it's just something that was hard to say

[12:39] no to because they didn't make very many

[12:40] of these. They're kind of hard to find

[12:42] in nice shape since they are getting

[12:44] older. And this one, it does have some

[12:46] miles on it, hence the issues.

[12:49] 179,000 mi. The check engine light is on

[12:51] for the turbo and I think some vacuum

[12:53] leaks as well. I'll go into a deeper

[12:55] dive as far as all the issues when it

[12:57] gets back to Kansas. But as of now,

[12:59] despite being mechanically totaled, it's

[13:02] pretty wild how nicely this thing

[13:03] drives. other than it being stuck in

[13:05] sport mode. The tech the diagnosis says

[13:07] that the uh valves inside of the air

[13:09] shocks are stuck and that's why it won't

[13:12] go out. It's the original air shocks and

[13:14] he recommends replacing them which is

[13:15] interesting. I never heard of that

[13:17] happening before on these cars but I

[13:18] suppose they are getting older so it

[13:21] would kind of make sense.

[13:24] But it is a diesel so not sure if you

[13:26] can see it but I floored it and it is

[13:28] black soot out the back which is just so

[13:31] funny. my first Mercedes, of course, my

[13:33] 500 SL. My grandmother got new, gave me

[13:35] 16. But I wanted to keep that car nice.

[13:38] I got an 85 Mercedes 300D for 2500 bucks

[13:40] on eBay, drove it back to Kansas. And it

[13:42] started basically a whole decade of me

[13:43] being obsessed with Mercedes diesels.

[13:45] And it's kind of cool to have the end of

[13:47] the line here, the last generation of

[13:49] S-Class diesel, and we'll probably never

[13:52] see it again in the US. This thing was a

[13:54] terrible seller when it came out because

[13:56] it was priced above the S400 hybrid,

[13:59] which was a weird flop as well. So, most

[14:01] people got the S550, the V8, because it

[14:04] wasn't all that much more expensive than

[14:05] this. And obviously a lot faster. I have

[14:08] allergies right now, so I'm a little

[14:10] flummy. But take a look at this. The

[14:12] last 3,000 mi, it's averaged 23.6 m per

[14:15] gallon. Yesterday, when I was doing

[14:17] light highway driving is more like 27 or

[14:19] 28 m per gallon. So, extremely fuel

[14:22] efficient with these big fuel tanks.

[14:23] They can get 5 600 miles to a fuel tank,

[14:25] which is pretty impressive. And also it

[14:28] does have massaging seats which I

[14:30] definitely need right now. There we go.

[14:33] Always fast and vigorous. Oh,

[14:38] yep. There it is. It starts low, too.

[14:40] Oh, that's so nice. All right. Well,

[14:43] back to Kansas. There'll be more on this

[14:44] car in the future as we dive into it as

[14:46] we try and fix everything with uh the

[14:48] car wizard and Danielson. Ah, this I

[14:51] should Oh, okay. Yep.

[14:57] Anyway, next up that's going is my 1991

[15:01] Lincoln Town Car, silver rosé metallic.

[15:03] Technically, this is April Rose's car,

[15:05] but I'm selling it for her. And we have

[15:07] so many land yachts that really I don't

[15:10] need another one. And no, we're not jump

[15:11] cutting to another location where No,

[15:13] no, no, no, no, no. I'm actually am

[15:14] getting rid of this one because the 76

[15:17] Elorado convertible is a great

[15:18] replacement for the lanyard of this one.

[15:20] Same with the Lincoln Blackwood. I just

[15:23] like the Cadillac Escalades better. So,

[15:25] both of these selling no reserve on cars

[15:27] and bids and the Lincoln and the Lincoln

[15:29] Blackwood will definitely be a loser for

[15:30] this thing because I spent over $4,000

[15:32] going through the head gaskets and all

[15:33] that stuff cuz I bought it unfortunately

[15:35] with bad head gaskets. But, it is a very

[15:37] nice car with a little over a 100,000

[15:39] miles on it. Super clean on the inside

[15:41] with that goofy navigation system and of

[15:44] course this faux wood treatment here in

[15:46] the back and a carpeted bed. It is just

[15:48] such an odd piece of Lincoln Ford

[15:51] history and I'm glad I owned it and

[15:52] experienced it for a very short time

[15:54] because it is very interesting. But I'd

[15:56] much rather have the Ford Lightning of

[15:58] the same generation. So this one not

[16:00] going anywhere. The Lincoln 40,000 m on

[16:02] it, a little over that. So a very nice

[16:04] thing. And April was given the choice.

[16:05] She needed to get rid of one of her

[16:07] cars, including the Mercedes 500 SL up

[16:09] there on the lift. And I thought, well,

[16:10] why not one of the 87 Buicks? Because

[16:12] you don't need three. Which she looked

[16:14] at me like, well, that's preposterous.

[16:16] Of course you need three 87 Buicks. So,

[16:17] these are her cars and she's keeping all

[16:19] three and she chose uh the silver rosé

[16:21] metallic Lincoln. So, the next one to go

[16:24] also ties into lanyards and that is the

[16:27] 77 Deville from Breaking Bad. This was

[16:29] used in the last episode of Breaking

[16:31] Bad. No reserve on cars and bids and is

[16:33] selling there and they put a machine gun

[16:35] in the back. Walter White, he took out

[16:36] all of his enemies but also kind of took

[16:38] out himself in the last episode. So,

[16:40] it's a pretty important car of TV

[16:42] history. of course, one of the best TV

[16:43] shows of all time, and they were so good

[16:46] at casting cars. So, it is kind of a

[16:48] hoopy, obviously faded. It wasn't

[16:49] supposed to be a nice car in the show,

[16:51] and it still isn't today, but it runs

[16:52] and drives fine. The Car Wizard did a

[16:54] lot of work to it. And you can own a

[16:55] piece of TV history. Maybe it'll go into

[16:57] a museum, but as far as driving it, I

[16:59] like driving the 76 Elorado convertible

[17:01] a lot better, so that's why it was easy

[17:02] to sell that one. Also going, and this

[17:05] is kind of a shocker, maybe it won't

[17:06] happen because it's my buddy Rob behind

[17:08] this thing. 2010 Bentley Continental SUP

[17:10] Sports, which I can't believe I'm saying

[17:12] this because I've wanted one of these

[17:13] forever and ever, but honestly, it's

[17:15] Rob. He just kept bugging me about it

[17:17] and bugging me about it and bugging me

[17:18] about it and I had a moment of weakness

[17:20] and gave him like 10 seconds to respond

[17:23] uh to sell this car and he said yes. So,

[17:25] I need the money. I have a lot of other

[17:27] 600 plus horsepower cars. As you saw in

[17:29] the last video where we doed this, the

[17:31] GTR along with the AMG GTS and my

[17:34] Hellcat, the Hellcat came out on top.

[17:36] The Bentley had the least horsepower.

[17:37] Something like 480 or 490 horsepower to

[17:40] the wheels. Not bad considering 620

[17:42] horsepower at the crank and it is

[17:44] all-wheel drive and slush box. So, still

[17:46] healthy and plenty powerful with 69,000

[17:48] mi. But, uh Rob talked me out of it and

[17:50] I'm I'm already regretting it.

[17:52] Hopefully, he changes his mind. Maybe it

[17:53] won't be going, but looks like it's

[17:55] going to go. But also, when you park

[17:56] these two next to each other, which one

[17:58] are you going to hop in more? And some

[18:00] would say the Bentley, but I think the

[18:02] Aston is much more of a special

[18:03] experience with the paddleshift

[18:04] transmission. And then just the looks.

[18:06] There's no arguing the looks of the

[18:07] Vanquish is just so much better than the

[18:10] Bentley Super Sports, which is a lot

[18:11] more of a bloated car. Still a beautiful

[18:13] machine. But Jeremy Clarkson mentioned

[18:15] in his review that taking the Bentley

[18:16] Continental and doing the Super Sport

[18:18] treatment is like taking a cruise ship

[18:20] and making it into a speedboat. It makes

[18:21] no sense. And he'd rather have the Aston

[18:23] DBS, which was its competitor at the

[18:25] time, which I guess I kind of agree.

[18:27] Even though Clarkson eviscerated the

[18:28] Vanquish when it came out because the

[18:30] flappy paddle gearbox was a total mess

[18:32] at the time and pretty much tank values

[18:34] forever, I still prefer the Vanquish.

[18:36] And speaking of British cars, the other

[18:37] one to go is this Range Rover over here,

[18:40] the P38, which I bought for very low

[18:43] money and actually didn't spend more

[18:44] than I think a couple grand on it fixing

[18:46] it up. I have the hood popped because it

[18:48] sits on a trickle charger because it

[18:49] really doesn't move all that much and

[18:50] the battery goes flat if it sits for

[18:51] more than a couple of weeks. But inside,

[18:53] you can see beautiful leather interior

[18:55] around 120,000 mi. And this one, I have

[18:58] no idea what it'll bring. It is a very

[19:00] nice example of a P38. It still has some

[19:02] minor issues, but it's air ride

[19:04] suspension's been converted and it

[19:05] should be a good car for somebody. So,

[19:06] we'll see what it brings. Honestly, the

[19:08] moment this showed up, my Jeep Grand

[19:10] Wagon Ear, which is another old school

[19:12] luxury SUV, I parked the Range Rover and

[19:14] never thought about it ever again. So,

[19:15] getting some money so I can go through

[19:16] this one and make it into the ultimate

[19:18] Grand Wagon Ear. That needs to happen.

[19:20] But I do also need some cheddar. And

[19:22] speaking of, this is the last car inside

[19:23] that I'm selling. No reserve on Cars and

[19:25] Bids, and that is the 1923 Packard

[19:28] Doctor's Coupe. So, this is an original

[19:30] Survivor for the most part. A few little

[19:32] touch-ups here and there. You can see

[19:33] like somebody broomed on some paint

[19:35] here, but this is a Survivor from 1923.

[19:38] And in line 6, it hadn't ran in some

[19:40] time. John Ross and I got it going. And,

[19:43] you know, it still has some problems

[19:44] with the clutch. It likes to stick when

[19:46] it's sitting, that kind of stuff. But,

[19:47] it is drivable. It's really easy to

[19:49] unstick the clutch and once you're going

[19:50] down the road, it's totally fine. But I

[19:52] haven't driven it much at all. Honestly,

[19:54] I want something with a straight eight,

[19:56] either be a Packard or something of that

[19:58] era that has a much bigger engine that

[20:00] can cruise at like 70, 80 mph. Even

[20:02] though this one is pretty capable for a

[20:03] car from 1923. It's just not something

[20:06] that I drive all that much. And I find

[20:08] myself hopping in the 1946 Chrysler, my

[20:11] other antique car, a whole lot more

[20:13] because with its straight eight and

[20:14] four-speed semi-automatic transmission,

[20:16] it can go down the highway no problem.

[20:18] And I do really, really like this thing.

[20:21] So, even though this one's been in the

[20:22] fleet longer, I like it better than the

[20:24] Packard. So, that is why the Packard is

[20:26] going. Now, there is one more outside, I

[20:28] think. I think Oh, yeah. I wish I could

[20:32] forget this thing. The world's worst 997

[20:34] Porsche 911. I am selling no reserve on

[20:36] cars and bids. I have no idea what it'll

[20:38] bring. But on bring a trailer, there was

[20:40] one that also had cylinder scoring,

[20:42] although it was in very, very nice

[20:43] condition. It brought 44 $45,000.

[20:47] Had 60,000 mi on it. Carrer, it makes no

[20:50] sense. Porsche people are crazy. So, I'm

[20:52] putting this up no reserve because I

[20:53] guess somebody who's a hobbyist could

[20:55] rebuild the motor themselves, could go

[20:57] through and restore it themselves. It's

[20:58] the world's first 997 restoration

[21:01] project because the engine has cylinder

[21:03] scoring. It smokes on startup, but it is

[21:05] quiet and goes down the road uh pretty

[21:07] well. I mean, it needs brakes. It needs

[21:09] suspension. It needs air conditioning.

[21:11] It needs it needs a lot. The sunroof

[21:12] doesn't work. Uh the paint's shot.

[21:15] There's also rust on the exhaust and the

[21:17] undercarriage and the brake lines and

[21:18] that kind of stuff. So, it's it's a full

[21:20] out restoration project of a 2007 911,

[21:22] which I trusted a viewer who told me it

[21:25] drove good. He put 200 miles on it. He

[21:26] took it on trade at his boat dealership.

[21:28] So, this is last and certainly the worst

[21:30] of the no reserve cars on cars and bids.

[21:32] But there's also one other Porsche, my

[21:33] 2010 Panamera 4S that I did sell so

[21:36] quickly that I forgot to even take a

[21:37] video of it going as one of Rob's

[21:39] friends, the guy buying the Bentley,

[21:41] came by and looked at the Porsche and

[21:43] bought it immediately. It was going to

[21:44] go on Cars and Bids, but he talked me

[21:46] out of it for 13 grand, which I didn't

[21:48] lose a whole lot on that one. And had a

[21:50] pretty fun 6 month or 3,000ish miles

[21:52] driving experience, so I'd say that one

[21:54] is definitely a win for me. But if you

[21:56] click the link below, you can see all of

[21:57] my auctions currently no reserve on Cars

[21:59] and Bids. Daddy Doug is taking care of

[22:01] me as he always does. I'm actually

[22:03] leaving here soon to visit him in San

[22:04] Diego to film some content with him

[22:06] since my collection is going up on

[22:07] there. So, you have that to look forward

[22:08] to. But, please bid if you're serious

[22:10] and want a hooptie. Even that one. Yes.

[22:14] Thank you so much for watching.
