Speaker 2 1:28

By the way .

Speaker 1 1:28

The doors are now open .

Speaker 2 1:29

The doors are open .

Speaker 1 1:31

The masses are firing in .

Speaker 2 1:33

They're massing .

Speaker 1 1:34

Flowing in and flowing right here into the guest seat at our remote facility .

Speaker 4 1:42

Yeah , studio .

Speaker 1 1:43

Well , I wouldn't call it a studio .

Speaker 4 1:45

Jail cell A desk Prison cell .

Speaker 1 1:48

Our remote desk here at the Georgia .

Speaker 4 1:50

And we have wires around us to be a studio .

Speaker 1 1:52

So , bob , Well , hopefully everybody can't see all of that , because it's really not something to brag about . But joining us here is Eric Lipper . Eric , good morning and thanks for joining us . Good morning , eric and I had a nice conversation , a move in day , which was Tuesday . Here it is Saturday already .

Speaker 3 2:12

Well , it goes quick , doesn't it ?

Speaker 1 2:14

Time flies when you're having a good time . Before you know it , we'll be pulling down all this stuff and hauling it out of here on Sunday night .

Speaker 3 2:20

Absolutely .

Speaker 1 2:21

That's the annual tradition , yeah it is , and it's kind of weird when that starts to happen because you work so hard to get here and then all of a sudden poof it's done .

Speaker 4 2:29

Everybody's looking at their clock going . When can I get out of here ? Get out of here , my battery up yeah exactly , and get back to my life again .

Speaker 1 2:36

He's got a very unique vehicle and it drew my attention , obviously , because he's right across the booth from us here and he's got a beautiful display of a 1964 and a half pre-production Ford Mustang convertible . Yeah , and he started telling me about it and I was absolutely blown away and I'll let you tell the story instead of me , because you tell it much better than I do . But this is a very unique car .

Speaker 3 3:07

Well , thanks , I'm happy to talk about it . This Mustang was born on December 9th 1963 , if you think about that . And in December 9th of 1963 , mustangs were born in a warehouse in Dearborn , because it is a pre-production car , and so people employed by Ford are told to put these cars together and let's see how the parts fit . And this is one of about 200 examples that were built in the period . Of the 200 examples , this is the very first convertible that was built .

Speaker 4 3:45

Oh wow , I was about to ask you how many convertibles were in that 200 .

Speaker 3 3:49

About 70 cars Now . By the way , if you think about the New York World's Fair , april 17th 1964 , ford had cars on a rail there Was there , yeah , and if you rode in the Mustangs that were towed around on the track there , those had no engines in them and they were towed and those were part of the pre-production cars that were built .

Speaker 1 4:14

So it was part of this era of these cars .

Speaker 3 4:17

This car . If you look at the display outside the convention center in New York , april 17th 1964 , this is the car that was on the display .

Speaker 4 4:27

No , that was under the hoop . Deal oh arches kind of thing .

Speaker 3 4:32

When I took the car to the Mustang Club of America . I have a setup that looks like that , but I didn't bring it in here because it's too cumbersome . But these cars are really unique . What I love is you look at it and you say 64.5 Mustang , but if you took the tape measure out , it's an inch shorter .

Speaker 2 4:52

Really it is Because the door opening looks larger than a normal Mustang .

Speaker 3 4:57

And the crazy part is is you can't quite figure it out , but you can see a few visual cues when you look at it , like if you look at the corners of the windshield pillars where they come down to the cow , you'll see there's space between the dash pad and the windshield pillar , but you don't see that in the production car . That's the excess width . That's in the car . The length difference is everywhere . The wheel basis is about a quarter of an inch shorter than the production car and it's somewhat because it's hand assembled .

Speaker 4 5:29

Right , yeah , pre-production stuff is all hand built . They do as best they can to make it visually look like the production car , but they're all hand built .

Speaker 3 5:40

And see , you'll see on this car , if you look at all the seams in it , they're all let it in , because this was also Ford's photography car . So if you go , look at the door jams and you go look at the 64.5 Mustang brochure , that car doesn't have spot welds in the door jam because it's this car . That's not how they were in fact produced .

Speaker 2 5:59

Wow , oh wow .

Speaker 3 6:01

That's why the door jams . The trunk lip looks a whole lot cleaner in this car . Probably the neatest thing about this car being pre-production is if you got under it and saw how different it is in the production car , because they Give me some examples .

Speaker 3 6:17

Well , when they put the car together they didn't realize how much clearance they needed for turning . So there's torch marks in the bottom of this car where they cut out some of the metal so the wheels wouldn't hit the sub . I call it a subframe , it's a unibody , but where it would hit the unibody . But the single neatest thing on this car , and why it's so historically significant , is if you put your hands inside the inner wheel houses of that car , they're all beat up and this is documented . When they built the car they welded in coupe wheel houses into the car and then they put the convertible top on it . It wouldn't go down and so they said we can fix that . They just beat it up and flatten it .

Speaker 4 6:59

Just get in there with a hammer and make space .

Speaker 3 7:01

So in fact there's an engineering drawing in Ford where they re-engineered to now say we better make a convertible wheel house . And it's this car is the drawing that they used to show how to modify it .

Speaker 1 7:14

The other thing that you were showing me with the top was up as the . The bows in the convertible top are flat .

Speaker 3 7:22

Yeah , looks like a Jeep top sort of , and because they just had an engineer to , you know , there's a lot of things that missed . If you look , there's no mirror on the driver's door .

Speaker 2 7:31

Yeah , I noticed that dump . Point that out this morning .

Speaker 3 7:33

They had an engineer at the seats . Don't move in this car . They're bolted , you know .

Speaker 4 7:37

Not not uncommon with so cars .

Speaker 3 7:39

Right , they're bolted to the floor . The earliest of the Mustangs , this one included . The first digit on the AM radio is a six , because the radio was built before the FCC released the fives in the AM dial in 64 . So if you get a super early Mustang , they they'll have that , but they're they're handful of cars that have that radio in them .

Speaker 1 8:04

How did you get ?

Speaker 3 8:04

it . So I've got some other Mustangs . My wife says I can't talk about those , but knew a guy in and have you ever listened to her before ? You know , the best thing was when we got married 35 years ago . She said , honey , you can keep collecting cars as long as I don't have to go to work .

Speaker 2 8:27

And I said fair , fair , fair trade .

Speaker 3 8:29

Absolutely great marriage . But I knew the guy that owned the car , ed Bailey , and this car really

Rare Pre-Production Mustang and Its History

Speaker 3 8:35

is . Of the pre production cars Only about 25 have survived because about 175 surprise , surprise were crushed for it . So get rid of them because they're not production this car .

Speaker 1 8:47

they still do that today , oh sure .

Speaker 4 8:49

Yeah .

Speaker 3 8:49

Right , and so this car went out on photography after the New York World's Fair and toured kind of the Midwest of the United States and ended up in Ames Iowa . You had a Ford dealer in Ames Iowa . Ford wrote the dealer and said we're recalling the car , but they didn't come get it and the car sat and this car was sold brand new in 1967 . It sat on the dealer floor till 67 . He sold it and it stayed in Ames Iowa . Of all places .

Speaker 4 9:18

How unusual that that he sold it , that there was an MSO on it that gave him the opportunity to sell .

Speaker 3 9:25

See , and I think it's a different time the MSO is more of a modern . Yeah , a modern deal . Back then you , as the dealer , just went and applied for his title from your state If you've already had it for two years , three years , so the car gets sold , stays in the same family names Iowa , until Ed Bailey found the car , ed bought it .

Speaker 3 9:45

It was then sent to a place called Buckeye Restoration who specializes in early Mustang restoration , and that's why it's also billboarded as the most authentically restored one , because it's done the engines in the original color of the Falcon engine which was in the car . I mean lots of little stuff .

Speaker 1 10:06

Nuances yeah , yeah it comes with it , it's , it's .

Speaker 3 10:09

this car is Mustang geek , is Mustang geek , you can get right .

Speaker 4 10:15

So did . Did Bailey know what he was buying when he bought this car ?

Speaker 3 10:19

You know , Bailey knew he was buying a pre production car because of the serial number on it .

Speaker 4 10:25

But he didn't know the history of it , the people who were selling it know what they were selling .

Speaker 3 10:30

No , they did not . They bought a new 64 and a half .

Speaker 4 10:33

It sounds like a deal to me , right , yeah , exactly .

Speaker 3 10:35

They just they'd had the car for a long time . It was just a mustang to them . Yeah , in fact , you know the store . This is serial number 140 . They weren't built in VIN number order either . They were just because Ford put out 200 VINs and said build the cars and they're done in a warehouse . Serial number one the actual serial number one was built after this car was bought by a Pan Am pilot and the Henry Ford Museum in about 2010 decided they wanted that car and that he did well .

Speaker 1 11:09

Is that the white one ? Is that the white one ? That's in there , it is .

Speaker 3 11:11

It's the white one .

Speaker 1 11:12

And that's .

Speaker 3 11:13

that is VIN number one , and Ford chased down that Pan Am pilot , got it back and he had him a nice return .

Speaker 2 11:21

So what is the value of something like this ?

Speaker 3 11:24

You know it could be to the right guy . Upper six figure car could be . It's hard to tell , you know , because , like anything in these real weird low production things , it's the right buyer on the right day .

Speaker 1 11:41

Yes .

Speaker 4 11:41

You know correct . Like Ford , looking for that one number one they're willing to pay for that Exactly have you had conversations with Ford about this car .

Speaker 3 11:50

This car actually has been both at the Henry Ford Museum .

Speaker 4 11:55

They've on display .

Speaker 3 11:57

Yeah , they , I displayed it there . It was at the Peterson .

Speaker 2 12:00

Oh wow .

Speaker 3 12:01

How cool is that , and so it's . It's had some , you know , national prominence . It's been at Audrain , it's been at Amelia Island . I just took it to the Mustang Club of America , you know , and I like to show the cars , that's my hobby . Yeah , you know , because you've probably watched . I like to polish .

Speaker 2 12:22

I was going to say , since you've been here , there's another layer of dust floating on there . You might want to take care of that .

Speaker 3 12:29

Yeah , yeah . Now I try and keep it clean . You know , the irony is is I've owned the car a long time . I've probably driven it a hundred miles , the whole ownership .

Speaker 4 12:41

Just up and down the driveway to get pretty much , you know .

Speaker 3 12:45

And so when I was bringing it in here right at rise , I'm getting my fire marshal inspection to come in the building and I smell fuel and it's leaking . You saw it , you know . And the accelerator pump , it just decided to let go , wow . So I came in here yesterday and took the carburetor off and changed the accelerator pump , put it back on .

Speaker 2 13:05

Fix that . Yeah .

Speaker 4 13:07

A few leak when the fire marshal was about to effect the car .

Speaker 1 13:10

Wasn't that perfect the car's going nanananaboo boo .

Speaker 4 13:14

Exactly Hold my beer . Watch this .

Speaker 3 13:16

Exactly . Yeah , I mean only that would happen to me . That's cool . Yeah , you know , and I and I love Mustangs . I started . I've always had an affinity for them . I worked , I started . My very first job was a car mechanic here at Russell Smith Ford .

Speaker 4 13:34

Oh , wow .

Speaker 3 13:35

And that's where I started out . And I did that for a 76 , 77 and I said need to go to college . You know , pulling wrenches isn't as much fun when you got to do it for a living .

Speaker 4 13:49

Yeah .

Speaker 3 13:51

Yeah , and I'm a pretty good wrencher , but I think I , you know , I was better out letting other people do it . Yes , yeah .

Speaker 1 14:00

I know about that yeah .

Speaker 3 14:03

Yeah , but but I just love , I have a bunch of Mustangs and I like , and I just like Ford . Are you local ? I am , I am , I've you know , Randy Wilden . Yeah , I'm born and raised here . I'm a Westbury high school grad .

Speaker 2 14:21

Oh , my goodness .

Speaker 3 14:25

Where are you ? Are you from here , Don ?

Speaker 1 14:27

I graduated from Westbury high school also .

Speaker 4 14:31

Uh-huh , see , probably 20 years before you . What year were you ?

Speaker 2 14:35

80 . Okay , his is 1880 .

Speaker 3 14:38

Pretty much , yeah . What year did you graduate ?

Speaker 1 14:40

1970 . Thank you for asking .

Speaker 3 14:43

Well , you know , because I grew up right off Hillcroft and Brayswood .

Speaker 1 14:48

Okay , well , I was down the way . I'm over off of Luddington in Hillcroft .

Speaker 3 14:53

Yeah , yeah , yeah . Where'd you go to elementary ?

Speaker 1 14:56

I went to Andy Anderson Elementary in Albert Sydney . Johnston junior high school .

Speaker 3 15:01

Johnston for me . Here's the crazy thing about Houston . In that day , my brother and I are 18 months apart . He went to Coulter Yep , I went to Elrod , he went to Fondren , I went to Johnston . He went to Bel Air , I went to Westbury . We lived in the same house with the same parents .

Speaker 1 15:21

Oh , they drew the lines back then A lot . They didn't love you .

Speaker 3 15:26

No , well , and I try . They had this magnet school program by the time I went to high school , where you , bel Air , became a foreign language school and you could transfer . And I wanted to transfer on foreign language and when they found out I was David Lipper's little brother , they said pass .

Speaker 2 15:41

We had that . We don't want it again . Do you mention that to him ?

Speaker 3 15:47

often yeah , and it's crazy he's . You know my brother . You'd think I would be the bad guy and he'd be the good guy , but he's a rabbi . So who knows ?

Speaker 4 15:59

They heard the language he was using .

Speaker 3 16:01

Yeah . When he told my grandmother he's gonna be a rabbi , my grandmother said I'm so disappointed . Yeah , your younger brother's gonna be a car mechanic . That's a great idea .

Speaker 1 16:15

Yeah , get Jim's attention . Hey , jim , jim , jim , tilly Jim .

Speaker 2 16:20

Tilly .

Speaker 1 16:21

Right there , you go , right there .

Speaker 2 16:23

Those are you guys , these two characters .

Speaker 3 16:26

Yeah , exactly yeah , so you know we . So we got off to Westbury High School and everything else and I sat down here talking about Mustangs . Is there anything else I can tell you guys about the car ?

Speaker 4 16:39

Well , what options are on that car that were over and above the standard car ? Well , interesting .

Speaker 3 16:47

So if you go look , it's got a Thunderbird power steering pump . So very you know it has power steering , it has power brakes , but they did it does not have . Usually you would get an electric top if you got a car loaded out like that . This car does not have an electric top because they hadn't figured it out yet . It does have radio was an option and oddly enough it's got a rally pack .

Speaker 1 17:14

Huh , and what ? What was included in the rally pack ?

Speaker 3 17:17

Well , in most Mustangs you got the rally pack and the GT appearance package , which were the fog lights in the grill and the exhaust that came through the rear valence .

Speaker 4 17:25

But this car has the wheel covers or the wheels ?

Speaker 3 17:28

Yeah , exactly this one has just the rally pack . One other thing about this car that makes it pretty unique is the wheel covers . If you look , they've got spinners

Vintage Cars and Jeep Compass Review

Speaker 3 17:38

on them . I saw that that did not last in production because they decided that was dangerous . You know knockoff wheels .

Speaker 4 17:45

Yeah , chariot races . You know you get into that with against the Camaros or something . Yeah .

Speaker 3 17:50

You know , I always wondered when you hit somebody and that knockoff hit them , how much more injured were they ?

Speaker 1 17:57

Exactly , oh , at least a million dollars .

Speaker 3 18:00

Who's running that study in ?

Speaker 4 18:01

1960 ? And now you look at the cars today and they've got the wires that stick out Exactly 13 , 14 inches from the hub .

Speaker 3 18:10

Yeah , but you know they took it off . They just made it flat , mustang . No , no spinner .

Speaker 2 18:17

We're fixing it right out of time . But you mentioned you had a couple of other Mustangs .

Speaker 3 18:20

Yes , sir , I own , I have a Boss 9 . Oh wow , I have a 65 , 67 and nine Shelby's and the Crumb to the Crumb and this will make you laugh I have a set . It was here a couple years ago . I have a 78 Mustang to King Cobra that is unrestored survivor and you know those cars all became melted down to drill pipe .

Speaker 4 18:47

right , yeah , if unique is what you seek , that is one .

Speaker 3 18:51

And what's funny is is this one never got left out in the sun . So the plastic is all good , you know , and I just love the car because you pull up and people call it a pinto and I'm like it is not . It's better than a pinto , it's not on fire , it says Blusting . Well , the .

Speaker 4 19:09

King Cobra had the V8 .

Speaker 3 19:11

It did 100 and 57 horsepower , 302 .

Speaker 4 19:15

Yeah , yeah , you , you , uh now they have three cylinders with more horsepower than that you know .

Speaker 3 19:21

The funny thing is , if you get in it , you turn on the air conditioning , which oddly enough still works . I think it probably takes it down to about 120 horsepower , and then when you figure out the bad gearing they put in the car , it just .

Speaker 1 19:36

It sucks the life out of it .

Speaker 3 19:38

Yeah , it's a weasel . Yeah , I mean , my wife has your average Mercedes . That would leave it in the dust , you know , just leaves it in the dust , but but it's fun .

Speaker 1 19:48

Eric , thanks so much for stopping by . Well , thanks so much for the great story . And if you're listening and Eric coming down to the show , it's right in front of the in wheel time booth here at the George R Brown convention center of Ottawa .

Speaker 4 20:02

Don't miss it . Congratulations on an awesome car .

Speaker 1 20:05

It's the thank you guys , my fellow West Barri and hook them , All right .

Speaker 1 20:12

Eric , thanks again . Thank you Time out for this hour's car review . Had a chance to drive the 2024 Jeep Compass . It comes in these trim levels sport latitude , latitude locks limited and trailhawk . That's a lot . My review is on the altitude 4x4 . You notice that you didn't see or hear that in there . This is a new trim level that may replace the latitude , but this is the altitude , some kind of to do it . Yeah , it's an attitude , what it is ? Small SUV seats five .

Speaker 1 20:53

This is part of the second generation model . That was all new for 2017 . Sharp looking Jeep face with the seven slot grille . Painted wheel opening moldings , which is different . Of course , this is an upper trim level . Lower side moldings as well are included in the paint . Two tone roof rails adds a new upscale look to it . It has a very off roady kind of look . Without the trailhawk package , Trailhawk is upper tier , all the way off road looking . Yeah , off road looking stance is what it's got as well . Sharp , all trim level . Shop all the trim levels and the pricing on all of those because , as you'll see when I tell you the price , there is a significant .

Speaker 1 21:41

They are significant . So shop it . Make sure that you got the stuff on there that you really want . Now , as far as interior is concerned , extra large infotainment screen , the center dash we like the two tone materials on this trim level . Overall clean design . Passive phone charger underneath the center dash , which is good . I like it there . Get the phone out of the way it charges . You forget about it . Then it's all right there if you need to have your phone in your hand . Cargo room adequate even with the second row seat up , which is different because usually in a small SUV like this that second row takes up that area in there , what they call the cargo area . But I liked about it the roominess because it is a small SUV . It has a two liter turbocharged four cylinder engine that puts out 200 horsepower in 221 pound feet of torque through an eight speed automatic transmission . Till rating is up to one ton , not bad . Well , 24 miles per gallon city is what it's rated , 32 on the highway for , combined to 27 .

Speaker 4 22:45

I got 28.2 miles per gallon over 259 miles Because you know , it's because you don't drive like Mars . What ?

Speaker 1 22:53

I got 28.2 miles , most of it on the high Well , the loop , the tollway , yeah . So there's that what I liked about it , the mileage , what could use improvement . The transmission does get confused at times if you expect quick downshifts , and the start stop feature can be annoying . It depends on what you're doing with it , where you're driving , whether you turn the start stop off .

Speaker 4 23:22

Leave it on . Start stop can be annoying on anything .

Speaker 1 23:25

Yeah , it can be . There are some vehicles that you can't even tell that they're starting and stopping . So ride and handling . We like the suspension compliance . What could use improvement ? We don't think anything . Base trim price $32,670 . That's the base trim price . Price is tested $41,905 . Now , remember , this is a more upscale trim level , so you're going to pay for that .

Speaker 4 23:54

It's got attitude .

Speaker 1 23:55

Yeah , it's got $9,000 bump on that Base model price . You can get in one of these for $28,400 if you can find one or order it . Competitors include the Mazda CX50 . It starts at $30,300 . The Honda CR-V goes for $29,500 and the Subaru Forester I guess you could throw that in the mix as well , because it's also a small SUV for $27,095 . And that is my review of the Jeep Compass Altitude 4x4 . All right Questions no .

Speaker 4 24:35

Do you like ?

Speaker 1 24:36

it . Mars is looking at me with those loving eyes , and I'm not exaggerating . Is that puppy dog eyes ?

Speaker 4 24:40

I'm not sure what that's about . No , no , I was just thinking about . You know , I drove that vehicle also and I thought it was it's very Jeep , it's Jeep .

Speaker 2 24:50

It's Jeep .

Speaker 3 24:51

Yes it is it's Jeep . It's a good way to put it .

Speaker 4 24:54

It is so it's a firm ride .

Speaker 1 24:56

It's not necessarily a firm ride . I would not put it . It's an offer . Look , Jeep is known for its off-roadiness . The brand is , but not all of the vehicles are off-roady built Right . They're not all built for off-road .

Speaker 2 25:12

They might say , they can do all-wheel drive or something .

Speaker 1 25:15

And they can do . They can do that , but oh , they have . People have a mindset .

Speaker 3 25:18

Right , they can't do Jeep .

Speaker 1 25:19

If you want an off-roader in the Jeep line , get the Wrangler Body on frame . I mean old school , but it's got all the modern stuff on it , right , right . And so I don't know , now was it ? There's a front-wheel drive , right ? Yes , okay . So there , you have it All right . That's my review of the Jeep . Now let's do the cruising calendar . If you don't mind , sir . Next weekend is Craig's chrome and coffee out at the Avalon Diner on the Southwest Freeway .

Speaker 4 25:48

And as well as the car social .

Speaker 1 25:54

Golf course . That is a cruising as well yes .

Speaker 4 25:58
