And Martha looks over and goes honey , where are you ? Oh , there , he is back there in the back seat .

Speaker 3 3:22

It's like you used to drive the cars with it sitting on a bucket when you went to test drive them after you got them fixed in the driveway .

Speaker 1 3:28

Yeah , or Danny's Ford Econoline van that had a million miles on it Tumble in the back . We're going to fix it up . It's going to be really nice . It never got fixed up .

Speaker 3 3:36

Shag carpet and all . No , we didn't , no it had got that far .

Speaker 1 3:42

The only thing that we ever really did was to go to Kmart and buy some of those cheap webbed folding chairs , put them in there and every corner you went around over the wind , the chairs just tumped over and threw you out . It was kind of like a big washing machine back there .

Speaker 4 4:01

That's why his head's misshaped a little bit Ford recalls 2025 F-150 pickup trucks over potentially loose fasteners .

Vehicle Recalls Roundup

right . Alright , time now for the Sold Cars Roundup . I know that George and Twyla are sitting there actually waiting for this segment , because this is where George gets involved . George is our favorite listener . George and involved . George is our favorite listener . George and Jeff . George and then Jeff Heitzman . Yeah , jeff Heitzman , so I hope that you're listening and I hope that you'll join in . Okay , these cars sold on the Hemmingscom website , yep , and once a week they put out what was sold and they list the price of the car that they got for it . First up is the 1969 Chevrolet Corvette copper colored . That is one good looking car , that's a good looking car it is 69 .

Speaker 1 6:38

69 . Chrome bumpers front and rear . It's the last year for that Ready Yep . How much do you think that that car sold for Now ? I don't know all the details . It's got white-lettered tires on it , but it does have beauty rings . Nice Beauty ring . I love those beauty ring wheels .

Speaker 4 6:55

How much ? $46,000 .

Speaker 3 6:58

Heisman says $25,000 , and I'll go $28,000 . Okay .

Speaker 1 7:02

How about $11,288 ? And I'll go $28,000 .

Speaker 3 7:04

Okay , how about $11,288 ?

Speaker 1 7:06

$11,488, . I'll buy it , I know I can do that on my credit card and you know , all you have to do is go to Hemmingscom and look for the auction , and these cars are all on there . Yeah Matter of fact they update them every day You've been searching for a Corvette for a while .

Speaker 3 7:21

Well , I wasn't necessarily looking for one like that , but for that price I damn sure look at it . One that is not .

Speaker 1 7:25

I didn't put it in here , but I should have .

Speaker 3 7:27

Oh , here comes the caveat A 1968 Chevy Corvette convertible .

Speaker 1 7:32

It's beautiful . Same thing beauty rings on it , white-lettered tires , lots of chrome . It's got a big block on it . No , no , not that one . You didn't pay attention , you , you said you got another one .

Speaker 3 7:41

No , he's off track again . He's off road .

Speaker 1 7:47

Jeff pays attention to about one-third of what you say .

Speaker 4 7:49

Yeah , I'm thinking there's a right rear quarter missing on this . That's why it went for him .

Speaker 3 7:52

That's what I think .

Speaker 1 7:54

Or the T-tops , all right , so the one that I didn't put on there to repeat what I said is a 68 Chevrolet Corvette with a big block in it and a convertible . It's blue in color and white Guess what . That one went for $46,000 . $68,250 .

Speaker 4 8:07

That's the one I was bidding on . Yeah , that's it .

Speaker 3 8:09

You were reading ahead .

Speaker 1 8:10

I was reading ahead Now let's go to the next one . Okay , this is a 1973 Chevrolet Camaro . I like it . It says it's a Z28 . Is it Probably ?

Speaker 4 8:19

Hopefully so . No , z28 didn't have those push bumpers on it .

Speaker 3 8:24

For a 73 ? I think it did no .

Speaker 1 8:28

I think that that was an option and I think that you can buy those after . I don't know . But I'm just saying I think that they put those on . Oh , that's a deduct , because if you remember , the model prior to that didn't have that guard there in front of it .

Speaker 4 8:39

Right that split bumper ?

Speaker 1 8:39

Yes , but they crashed the bumper and there was no bumper . They crashed through the grill and that whole thing up there in the front and that's why they put those on there . Okay , 73 Chevy Camaro Z28 , white , black , black interior . How much ? $18,000 $18,000 .

Speaker 3 8:55

Ooh , heisman says 33 , and I'll stick with my . That's a pretty good number , I'll go with 31 .

Speaker 1 9:04

Is George not joining us today ? No , george isn't here . So 1973 Chevy Camaro Z28 sold on Hemings Sold Cars for $45,455 . Why would this one go more than the other one , Because this is probably an all-original .

Speaker 3 9:20

It's very well done and I can see it , those wheels . I mean it didn't have the ring-type wheels . I mean there's some things on .

Speaker 1 9:27

Actually , I believe that is a ring , a beauty ring that you had , yeah , but it's more of a spoke wheel than the other .

Speaker 4 9:34

I understand and I think 73 was a one-year only .

Speaker 3 9:38

Okay , well , whatever .

Speaker 1 9:39

Whatever Moving on , yeah , Next up is the 1969 Mercury Cyclone . I picked this for you . I love those cars , those are nice . So when I worked at Richardson Chevrolet that I had the dispatcher that assigned everybody all of the work in the shop , he had one of these . Now he didn't have the CJ , which is a Cobra Jet 428 . Yeah , buddy , Because when he had his they didn't offer that . So this is a rarity to begin with . That is a good-looking big car . 69 Mercury Cyclone went for how much Mars ?

Speaker 3 10:17

Heisman says 39 , and I'll go with 45 . If it was a 429 CJ you'd be up over 100 . It's a 428 CJ , I know I'll go with 45 . My answer is 39 . I'm going to go 52 .

Speaker 4 10:31

31.5 . I should have went 38 , but I went 52 . 31.5 .

Speaker 3 10:36

Man that's got a back seat big enough you could go parking and everything , oh yeah .

Speaker 1 10:41

And I'm sure that you did . 78 Jeep Cherokee . 78 Jeep Cherokee . Now it doesn't have the optional vinyl wood siding on it , but it does have a nice stripe on it . It looks completely stock A 78 . I don't know , it's probably got a million miles on it , but it looks clean . Yeah , 78 Jeep Cherokee . How much do you think that you'd get for that ?

Speaker 3 11:07

$9,000 . Mars , I'm going to say 15 . 15 ? What did Heitzman say ?

Speaker 1 11:13

27 . 18,113 . See , this is the exact reason why I don't understand why you guys Heitzman , Mars , jeff don't buy into something like this . It's affordable what would I do with it Exactly . Here is the one . Here is the one for you , jeff . Oh boy , good day . You want to guess what that is ? That's a Range Rover , it's a Land Rover Range Rover , and the year model is 1993 .

Speaker 4 11:47

How much do you think that that sold for $17,000 . Wow , okay , morris Me .

Speaker 3 11:51

He's got Discovery tires . I'm looking , I'm looking , I'm looking .

Speaker 4 11:55

Speaker 3 11:57

I'm going to go with $14,000 . Heisman says $27,000 .

Speaker 1 12:01

If Leslie is , watching , cover your eyes . I know you like Land Rovers but Ohman says 44 .

Speaker 3 12:06

Excuse me .

Speaker 1 12:12

This thing sold for $1,600 .

Speaker 4 12:14

I want 17 . They probably pushed it on the driveway there .

Speaker 3 12:17

No motor , no transmission , I don't know .

Speaker 1 12:19

I don't know , I didn't go that far .

Speaker 4 12:22

This one Hell , the luggage rack , is worth more than that , yeah .

Speaker 1 12:26

The ugly luggage rack . What is ?

Speaker 3 12:27

that in the back seat A body , a dog .

Speaker 1 12:32

This one caught my attention and I was talking to my cop pilot and he said , oh yeah , and this was about the year that Ford flew us up there to the proving grounds outside of Dearborn and they had just come out with this , a 2019 Ford Explorer with the cop package on it , and they put us on the skid pad , the water side of the skid pad . They said you drive it . I said no , no , now I'm not skilled enough to do that . So they put a driver from Ford in there , had that thing sideways at 80 miles an hour on that watered-down skid pad and let me tell you something , it was flat as a rock .

Speaker 1 13:14

That thing is bad to the bone . 3.5-liter EcoBoost interceptor motor how much do you think that that sold for ? It had 33,000 miles on it and I guess it comes with the bumpers and the lights and everything . No telling how many hours on it .

Speaker 3 13:27

I guess it comes with the bumpers and the lights and everything , no telling how many hours on it . Idling hours .

Speaker 1 13:30

What was the year 2019 . 33,000 miles Cop car 32 .

Speaker 3 13:40

Heitzman says 55 .

Speaker 1 13:41

Oh God , the city didn't pay that much for it .

Speaker 3 13:45

I was going to say I would say 18 . 29-4 .

Speaker 1 13:53

I would buy that . If it were a black and white , I'd buy it Just to say I have it . I know a guy that has it .

Speaker 3 14:01

Speaker 3 14:23

No , you ought to lift your foot off the gas , no matter what . Yeah , exactly . You'll be 10 miles an hour under the speed limit and you're still going to slow down . Exactly .

Speaker 1 14:31

Next up a 1972 Ford 250 . So this is a three-quarter ton single cab , because they didn't make anything other than that 1972 Ford 250 . It's clean , it looks all stock .

Speaker 3 14:47

Kind of looks like a long wheelbase , but maybe not . No , it is . It is , candice , a little bit of help here . It's got fuzzy dice hanging from the mirror . That's a good sign . I'm in $16,000 . $16,000 . Mars .

Speaker 1 15:21

Next up next up . Yeah , buddy , now for me this is my era Chilling wagon . Well , yeah , they've converted it , but this is an old milk truck , a Divco milk truck from 1948 .

Well , yes , and they've turned it into an ice cream truck , one that you go down the street and sell ice cream to the kids $10,000 .

Okay , yeah , it's a 1959 Volkswagen with a dune buggy body in it . Yeah , fireless , but it doesn't look like it's been the wheel measurement . It hasn't been chopped up .

That's the play-by-play of the weenie race at the Indy 500 yesterday and the Slaw Dog won .

Speaker 4 20:09

Just in case you were , yeah , and I pushed the wrong button . I was focused on you and I was trying to do this .

Speaker 2 20:15

Anyways , technical difficulties Did you have a little moment . I had a little moment .

Speaker 4 20:18

I did have a moment . You did . It's my age . Hey , in Real Time , hits the road again .

Speaker 1 20:23

Our next stop is at Granbury for the Lone Star Street Rod Association State Run . Join our live broadcast on June 14th , 9 to noon . Thanks for being with us today here on the In Wheel Time Car Talk Show . Time now for Jeff's car culture . Banned , crushed and forgotten muscle .

Speaker 4 20:38

That's right . So not every muscle car made it to glory . Some were banned before they even hit the streets , others were quietly crushed after their moment had passed . So this first one up on the block is a 1969 Chevrolet Corvette ZL1 . The 69 ZL1 was technically a production car , but just barely . Chevy built just two of these , powered with an all-aluminum 427 V8 designated for racing . The engine alone added $4,000 to the price , doubling the cost of that standard Corvette and that year-made model . Too expensive , too aggressive for the public roads , the ZL1 faded into obscurity and it just went away .

Speaker 1 21:19

Well , it didn't fade that much because you got it on this thing .

Speaker 4 21:21

Well , both examples survived , but they're in private collections and not used . So next one 71 , Ford Torino . King Cobra Ford's response to the Dodge Charger , Daytona and the Superbird was the Torino King Cobra Ford's response to the Dodge Charger .

Speaker 4 21:36

Daytona and the Superbird was the Torino King Cobra Sleek fastback and radically sloped nose , designed for NASCAR aerodynamics . Only three prototypes were built before NASCAR changed the rules after they built them . It said no more . No more of that . With the program scrapped , the King Cobra never reached production . The prototypes were quietly shelved and the 429 jet engine silenced before they could make the headlines .

Speaker 1 22:02

I wonder where that car is today .

Speaker 4 22:05

It's a museum piece , it's a museum piece 65 , pontiac Catalina 2 Plus 2 .

Speaker 2 22:10

I remember these 421 high output I remember these .

Speaker 4 22:13

I love that car . Pontiac's Catalina 2 Plus 2 was built to move , especially when equipped with a 421 high output engine making 376 horsepower at a time . Though it was a full-size coupe , it had quarter-mile performance that rivaled mid-size muscle cars but overshadowed by its GTO sibling . So it's a little bit smaller on the GTO side , but that's a beautiful car . Plus , it's a ragtop . That's good . Next one we're going to go to Mike is the 71 AMC Matador machine . The machine AMC planned to follow up with the Rebel machine with a more aggressive Matador version in 71 . The idea was to carry over the machine's 401 V8 and the graphics , but marketing didn't back it . They didn't like it . A few prototypes were made but the project quietly died before mass production . What's left of the Matador machine concept is mostly photos , paperwork and a few scattered parts no one completed .

Speaker 1 23:08

No known completed cars have survived , making it one of the strangest AMCs there is Now wait just a minute , that's a late model Tahoe back there in the back . So somebody's got that dead car .

Speaker 4 23:17

Yeah , somebody's got that there , but that's just what I can tell you . Okay , maybe it's a Photoshop , it could be . 1966 Fairlane GTX prototype . This Fairlane was a Ford prototype created to bridge the gap between the Mustang and the full-size Galaxy .

Speaker 1 23:31

so what is ? The valve covers that have shot through the uh what the hell is that loose bolts ?

Speaker 3 23:37

I think it's been recalled uh no , but if you think about , if you think about the , the later models of the roadrunner and stuff , they had hoods not like that . That's not near that tall , but I mean or it wore unique badging , interior trim reported .

Speaker 4 23:52

Uh reportedly tested a few suspension tweaks that would later show up on the GT and the Cobra models . It never intended for production , but after a few developmental changes it was reportedly destroyed . What makes it interesting is how the little photographic evidence remains . One of these cars you hear about engineering's , performed executives , all that good stuff . No one knows where it went . That is a new Explorer or something .

Speaker 1 24:17

Yeah , it's an Expedition or something . There you go 73 .

Speaker 4 24:22

Somebody has that car . 73 Pontiac Trans Am SD 455 with an aluminum block , or , as they say , aluminum block . Sd was Super Duty . Super Duty 455 is already a rare piece of Pontiac history . But there's a subset of prototypes that took things further . A handful of pre-production cars were fitted with experimental aluminum blocks for weight savings and better heat distribution . Only a few were ever built and most were destroyed after testing . None were sold to the public . Rumors persisted about one surviving car in private hands , but nothing has been confirmed . That's a pretty car . I like that car .

Speaker 1 24:59

Well , that would be easy to do . You could hide that all-aluminum V8 underneath the hood . Yeah , even though it was just a regular Trans Am at the time , or a Camaro or Firebird , whatever .

Speaker 3 25:10

All the externals , and there's companies that make the retro .

Speaker 4 25:13

They'll take a new Camaro and they'll make it look with the old body , styling and stuff . It's still new , but they'll make it kind of retro looking , that's no fun .

Speaker 3 25:20

I had an aluminum block car one time . It was the lightweight , I understand , but it always had a heating problem . You had to be careful that you didn't cook the engine , because it just didn't take much to heat it up .

Speaker 1 25:33

Well , you're probably using the mechanical fan on the front there of the motor . Oh , absolutely 1963 .

Speaker 4 25:39

Oh yeah , they didn't have electric fans back then .

Speaker 3 25:41

They didn't invent them back , then so it was .

Speaker 1 25:49

You know I could see why they tried it , but it didn't work so good . Well , mr Morris , you know I really was looking forward to the Houston hidden , houston family things , driving destinations . So we're not going to do it here . Why Could do it on the next episode . Well , can you get it in in a couple of minutes ?

Speaker 1 26:02

No , no See that's why I say so , just trust me with what I'm doing here . Mars never looks at the clock , but I do . Thank goodness for me and me , and what we're going to do is we're going to move you to the next segment .

Speaker 4 26:17

After Jack .

Speaker 1 26:23

Well , we can move him to the third hour . No , we're not doing a third hour today .

Speaker 3 26:26

I think that's the point no , we're going to move .

Speaker 2 26:29

He's right over there .

Speaker 1 26:31

God , almighty . So you know it's hot in this studio Because I didn't turn the air conditioning on until early this morning and it was too late . I got home last night , I was tired , I went to bed and completely forgot about the studio . No complaints over here . I'm comfy , Me too . Of course you are . You know old men . They got to have your blankets and stuff like that . What's the temperature in here ? 85 . Can you turn it up ? Crank it up , birthday boy . All right , so I see that Jack Nerad is standing by .

Speaker 4 27:01

He is present and accounted for .

Speaker 1 27:03

And so here , in a couple of minutes , we are going to go to him . We're going to go to him a little bit early , but I did want to get this one thing .

Speaker 4 27:09

I like his shirt . It's got a nice shirt on .

Speaker 1 27:11

Well , you just told him that and I'm sure that he's impressed . I'm just listening , he didn't buy it . I'm sure that his wife did , or somebody else did . Either that or it was a gimme shirt from the manufacturer who's probably got you know Ford or Lincoln .

Speaker 4 27:23

Well , he's talking to you , Go ahead .

Speaker 1 27:25

Jack , what kind of shirt is that ? Can you put him up this ?

Speaker 2 27:28

is a shirt my wife bought me for Christmas a couple years ago .

Speaker 4 27:32

That's a nice looking shirt . I like that .

Speaker 2 27:34

Why should I buy stuff when my wife has much better taste than I do ?

Speaker 4 27:37

And the money .

Speaker 2 27:37

She's got the money too .

Speaker 4 27:39

Of course .

Speaker 1 27:41

Exactly so . Jack Nerad is going to join us from the left coast and I think we're still speaking to people out there on the left coast Because not everybody has the same belief that those people do . And I don't mean to clump you into all of that , jack , don't clump me . You happen to live out there , but you've been clumped , you've been clumped . And the other thing is that I know that you make it to Dallas frequently because you have a daughter going to school up there , if I'm not mistaken .

Speaker 2 28:06

Actually they're long out of school , but I have two daughters , one in Dallas , one in Fort Worth and one in Fort Worth is getting married and just bought a house .

Speaker 1 28:14

Wonderful Possession of her keys yesterday and guess who's going to help her move , dad yeah .

Speaker 2 28:23

Not Well we'll see .
