tyler hoover here host of the hooves garage youtube channel and barrett-jackson's live
coverage on history and fyi this is really a dream job of mine that dates back to me watching
the show as a kid on tv over 20 years ago i finally begged my dad to going to barrett-jackson
in scottsdale in person in 2004 and i was hooked ever since now since i got this job the primary
purpose for me is to preview cars that i think are interesting so let's start with one of my favorite
previews from houston a 1979 ford bronco that was an incredible survivor with a really cool graphic
scheme that i had never seen before 40 years now to the bronco with lot 787 a 1979 bronco and this
one is incredible because of its originality we have only 30 000 miles on this thing and look at
the inside the interior it's i wonder why they don't take more styling risks with the you know
fancy upholstery of course the burl wood maybe the bronco can add this later into their production
but original interior and this is an original option to the bronco this visibility package
the graphics why don't we do graphics on new cars anymore especially something like this that
is reflective if you move back and forth with the camera you can see it's sort of like a high
visibility jacket or a road construction cone so if somebody were to hit this thing they would have
to come up with a pretty good excuse because how can you miss this crazy bronco survivor
it's gorgeous and here's a 79 bronco crossing the block this is the second year for the second
generation bronco quite a bit larger than the original which you just saw a moment ago
base power here 351 cubic inches with a 400 available no figure much larger much more
yeah the power one came out in 1966 and of course it had a much smaller wheelbase
it was much smaller all the way around it was designed for a very specific purpose
at this point in the bronco world they were really beginning to follow where the blazer had
decided to go which was really basic more off of a truck chassis and think about it just a
few years later we were into the bronco 2 which was going back to a much smaller stop something
seen here is air conditioning which is something we couldn't even think about getting on the first
gen bronco but was found here in fact 62 of all bronco buyers in 79 went for the air conditioner
i would and we were fully into the suv world at this point in time it wasn't just the idea of
building something people would enjoy off-road this was something that people were going to
drive for work or drive for their family this was something that was a true sport utility vehicle
this one's only been driven 31 000 miles that helps account for that
winning bill now i normally spend most of my time in the staging lane previewing cars but
occasionally they let me up on the block to tap dance with mike mags and rick on a car
i really really like and this mercedes maybach limousine oh so cool put me in the lap of luxury
pinkies up everybody pure luxury 2008 my box 62 limousine now this was built to compete with
say a rolls royce phantom it kind of looks like an s-class but it's its own chassis
and it was four hundred thousand dollars they had the 57 which was the short wheel base
this one is the 62 which is the long wheelbase so pretty much a factory limousine well with the
volkswagen audi group buying bentley and bmw buying rolls-royce mercedes did not want to be
left out so they created the mybach brand named after a famed coach builder from the turn of the
prior century these were way more luxurious than your standard fair mercedes s-class
but at that highly elevated price point these cars failed to find buyers well the 62 series
name is appropriate these weigh 6200 pounds and as it was rolling away the front brakes on these are
monster sized with two different calipers usually we see one caliper squeeze on the rotor not here
two of them do the job now if you're a backseat driver this is definitely the car for you you
have so much interior space and then you see up here you have the gauges you can see how fast
you're going so you can really tell the driver to speed up slow down and uh how quickly you're
getting to your destination but look back here look at all the room you have along with the foot
rest the tv screens i think there's even champagne flutes in here if you want to toast is incredible
the body color on this in addition to silver appears black but it is actually a midnight blue
a very dark almost like the mercedes carbon black color which is blue as the decklid illustrates v12
power 550 horsepower believe it or not 0 to 60 in 5.1 seconds despite that 6200 pound curb weight
according to the manufacturer flame and you know mercedes has come out with the new eqs
concept car electric mybach going into the mybach future without a v12 without a big cast engine
will it hit the production world you'll have to see it now i just finished doing
a rebuild project on a blackhawk 57 and it was a daunting task to find parts they've been erected
scraped i had to get the parts from latvia because the body parts were so hard to find
they didn't make very many of these but otherwise mechanically a lot of the same
mercedes bits that i was able to match up like the v12 how did you find my back parts in latvia
it was on ebay actually i needed a door i needed a rear quarter and they looked so much better in
two-tone mine came what was all gray silver all this light but it looked too much like an s-class
so i made a two-tone burgundy on silver so instead of blues mines burgundy on top
mary asked what do you pay for a door for a mymoc on ebay that was about three
thousand dollars the rear quarter about four thousand dollars so definitely it hurt it hurt
now these were only manufactured between 2002 and 2013 of course being that old well the
mercedes dealers are not mandated to have parts in stock thus the used parts channel
i'll tell you what this car originally sold for about 420 000 we haven't increased a hundred
thousand dollars the bitter assistant in the sky box is working like crazy
because he's got one potential bidder at one end another at the other that one was
walked away so no thanks now we're down to just one that he has to work
well the maybach name still exists today with the s-class but this is really its own card
97 000. but before the auction starts i usually revert back to my old youtube ways and make my own
video on the cars coming in to the arena that i find interesting and my favorite was a 1986
ferrari testarossa that somebody out of texas twin turbocharged i actually got to ride in this car
and the sound of the turbo spooling with the v12 engine was absolutely incredible it was
so exciting to experience that but not quite as exciting as watching this car sell take a
look now this is one of my favorite cars selling day on super saturday and something i have never
seen before a 1986 ferrari testarossa of course the size tracer is crazy on this thing but what
makes it so different is under the hood you have the flat 12 but somebody took it upon themselves
to put on a twin turbo kit if you get low here inside of the vents you can see two turbos now
these cars were not that fast when they were new even though it had a flat 12 and you see him in
miami vice racing around so somebody decided to give this thing modern performance but we're in
a classic lamborghini that just after ferrari that absolutely screams 80s i love this thing
well that somebody tyler was bob norwood and norwood performance well they are well known
for taking your ferrari to the next level and there it is
this ferrari has been kept in texas over the last two decades ladies and gentlemen receipts
including total well over ninety thousand dollars worth of things that have been done
in 2002 and 2004. make some noise houston here's your ferrari testerosa blanket 100
being in the room though for these big moments has to be the best part of the
barrett-jackson experience though and selling a big collection like brian frank did in houston
was certainly something to remember my favorite was a 1929 ford custom roadster that had a bare
metal finish i mean you could see everything well you don't need a magnet to check on this
car to see if it's steel or fiberglass because lot 659.1 a 1929 ford custom roaster has a bare
steel body it's so cool that you can see the welds on the steel nose as they made it more aerodynamic
but it has a clear coat from mercedes over it so you don't have to worry about it rusting and can
wash it normally under the hood is unusual choice with a stock looking ls1 but i'm told that's for
driving and you can see the cutouts here this is to clear the exhaust manifold the interior has a
really good matching natural leather interior and i'm told this thing drives as good as it looks now
this is part of the brian frank collection uh a group of cars that i previewed earlier
this and the truck behind it as well they are all selling no reserve an incredible collection here
now a lot of early sprint cars were built on model a chassis
so i'm not surprised to find a sprint car nose
the moments that people best remember at barrett-jackson though are when the star
car sale something that was screen used or celebrity owned and houston had a couple of
great examples of this of course what stole the show was the risky business 928 that sold for
just shy of two million dollars but my favorite was a little bmw tucked away owned by the late
paul walker it was another record-setting price of an incredible low mileage car one of the
highlights of the last barrett-jackson auction in las vegas was the screen used fast and furious
toyota supra driven by paul walker but here's your chance to buy a car that was owned by paul walker
lot 688 a 1988 bmw m3 this is the e30 chassis which is beloved by bmw enthusiasts and the
m3 takes it to a whole new level you can see the five-speed manual transmission four-cylinder that
stream to 7000 rpm but what people love the most is probably the body on this thing the spoiler
the fender flares and this one is a real gem only 32 000 miles so probably one of the nicer ones in
existence without the paul walker name but i think with the name and the condition this will surprise
a lot of people when it crosses the block tomorrow very special car this is a 1988 it's a bmw
m3 ah but this one was owned by the late actor paul walker well the m3 was a very special car
i love these this is the wide body it's not attacked on fender flare these are actually
part of the body specific to the m3 plastic deck lid with raised height and a wing beautiful car
gonna be 60 yes
yeah you got to be 90. now i got 100 100 yes
got to be 140 now
you know much in the way that they play with super dodge daytona got
unique rear window treatments so too that this the standard
rear window on a 3 series is not like this we can see here there's an add-on panel which
changes the shape of the rear window that's specific to the m3 and of course the deck lid
is taller for better arrow and of course the wings so these are not just fender flares it's also the
whole tail of the car was unique to the m3 look off to the right on the screen we have not one but
two phone bidders involved as well as people here in the room as well and we're at 160 000 right now
this one is not a radio delete but that was certainly a possibility on on these cars
side draft fuel injected four banger in here very different engine from the 318 or 325 eye
5 000 of these made this one has less than 33 000 miles on the odometer
i love these cars i went to clark university in worcester massachusetts and
these were kind of the preppy cars a lot of the kids had these 318 eyes not so many m3s
like the auctioneer said if you're in the room you're not in the auction right now it
just sold over the phone for 167 000 it was my pleasure bringing you my favorite moments from
