opportunity to walk around john's collection and he had sold it all with us just a few
years ago and he has been on the auction block buying some great cars back but you also see
a great attention to detail and diversity in the types of cars that he is collecting

gamut let's have john tell us about all these great vehicles he's bringing at no reserve
i'm john stellupi we're here at my museum cause of dreams we're pretty excited about it we think
it's going to be a great auction i think they're going to have a beautiful selection of cars i
think it's going to be something new and something exciting so one of the cars that we're going to be
selling there is a 53 buick skylark convertible this car is like brand new because a white car
red interior the engine compartment is like it came off the show on floor actually it probably
looks better than when you came off the showroom floor i love these cars these were motorama
cars of the day very futuristic this car is very unusual if you look at the chrome
the detail of this car the way they built these cars now this is not resto modded this is restored
absolutely correct everything is stuck they even have the old sticker when they put it
on when the buick used to put the antifreeze in it got the old nail head in it it's got
power steering well optioned car absolutely for the day you think of back in 1953 all the options
that it has on it it's uh way ahead of its time this rivaled if not was better than a cadillac
of the day this was unbelievable beautiful restoration on it all the chrome skylark wire
wheels on it these were made just for skylarks this was one of the kings when they seen you
in this car they figured you had some money great car john look forward to seeing it at the auction
then one of the other cars i have there is my truck it's a diamond pickup truck and
i never seen one like this before and the paint job on this truck is incredible well here we have
a 1938 diamond tee tell us a little bit about this beautiful truck i mean when i seen this
truck i wasn't sure what color it was because it has maroons and it's got brown in it and
when you look at everything in different angles it just shows different colors i mean that's i
couldn't even explain to you trying to figure out what color it is and everything you see on this
craig i mean look at the lines like the way the lines are all the belt lines the way they're done
the doors everything is like totally even it's just unbelievable i mean this is a real real truck
now i know why diamond p was like such a popular really strong truck that they made back then
the great thing it's been sort of resto modded so it's sitting on a 2006 general motors chassis
has a gm engine in it so but when you look at it does not look resto modded but what i noticed look
at these long panels how dead straight they are molded into the fenders but also on the inside of
the bed the same attention to detail even the wood that they put down in here the wood is incredible
the wood the chrome all leather done on the interior power windows and power windows
absolutely amazing i see why you fell in love with it i remember when you bought
this sitting under the lights there it just glows when it's out in the
sun or under the bright light it's going to look even better this time
then one of my other trucks is a red t-10 with a white top everything about the truck is something
special if you like trucks this is going to be another one of your favorites well this truck here
you know it caught my eye because it was red and white you know you have a truck red and white
unbelievable it's a chevrolet it's a 66 it's got a ls motor
5.7 corvette engine yep it's got air conditioned this car fuel injection
disc brakes on it this car was a real driver this this four-speed auto you could probably get in
this car and run this truck wherever you want to go yeah it was built as a driver yes you know some
of the other ones we looked at they're like pieces of art we looked over this it was done very nice
but this is made to go out and drive and have fun nicely done look at the bed nobody's ever hauled
anything got an oak bed in it oh yeah with the chrome inserts they rhino coated the sides and the
inners and that's a pop-down gas fill just push down on it with the nozzle and you fill the gas up
yeah done very tastefully somebody could enjoy the heck out of this beautiful job they did
then another one of the trucks i have is the toyota land cruiser
it's a 1976. it just stands out a little bit it's got something really spectacular it's like
brand new also this truck fully restored well john here's your 1976 toyota fj 45 land cruiser
i was looking over this unbelievable the restoration tell us about it well
you know i like yellow that's one of my favorite colors and um especially in a truck like this
it's just unbelievable and when you look at this truck and the way it was done
i mean you look at the fenders and the fit and again the tastefulness of the colors the bumpers
i mean you've got the tow hooks i mean look at the engine compartment in this it is like brand
new has the original six cylinder in it it's got air conditioning in the truck i mean this is a
truck it's got dual cylinders this is a truck that you can drive and enjoy i mean everything when you
look at it and oh these were abused were known as being workhorses but somebody then took it
and just did a frame off restoration i made it a level better yes the paintwork everything
i've never seen one brought to this kind of detail these nowadays are hot collector items this
truck just says something about it hey i'm a land cruiser and i'm the real deal then one of my other
cars that i have here is the first car that got me into hot rods it's a 1936 ford four-door steel
body convertible it's got a 350 in it carburetor motor automatic transmission disc brakes
this car stands out the color of this car is like a burnt orange or something it's
just it's incredible well tell us about the 36 here this four-door is spectacular
craig this car is an all steel car and to restore it the way it's restored is unbelievable this car
even has power windows in it so even though it looks like a regular crank candle these are power
windows so it's unbelievable a 350 with a turbo i mean it's really really reliable you don't have
to worry about computers and you don't have to worry about all that other stuff that goes with it
and the color is just when you look at this car i mean look at the paint on this burnt orange
listen how the door shuts look at the way that everything lines up everything lines up look at
the lines and everything it's really unbelievable caulk i looked underneath it the frame is painted
underneath it's a gorgeous car top to bottom the workmanship it's all steel it's amazing car it
