- What do we got here?
Well, we get a couple of what I refer to as the neo-classics.
The one on the left is a Mercury Cougar.
OK.
But the one on the right-- no, you know what?
I think that's a Spartan.
Why am I sitting here looking?
We should just go in there and look.
Yeah, let's see.
Let's see, man.
Oh, they got a Corvette right there too.
And it's an '82 Pepto-Bismol pink.
[laughing]
If you're sick to your stomach and you look at this,
it only makes you sicker. - Right.
So that's not good.
You might throw up in your mouth.
These I find bizarrely interesting.
And that one's got T-tops on it too.
That little blue one's kinda cool, man.
Classic Tiffany.
OK, that's a Tiffany.
I want to see if anybody's home before I make anybody nervous.
Where's the front door in this place?
Is it through the gates? - I think so.
Here we go.
- Maybe there's a bell-- - Maybe.
[knocking]
Well, you know, if I start looking at the cars,
I bet you they'll come out.
Excuse me, but, uh, could you read this word for me
here on the grill?
- Could I? - Yes.
Ha-ha.
Spartan. Thank you.
You were right on the money.
With the T-tops, it could be a Mustang or a Cougar,
'cause Cougar did do T-tops as well.
But it's probably a Mustang, right?
Hi.
Is this your house?
Well, darling, then this is perfect.
I'm Danny.
Oh, that's fantastic.
All right, all right. - I'm Kevin.
This is Kevin.
What's your name?
Monique Brewster, it's indeed a pleasure to meet you.
Right back at you.
I hope you don't mind, we're car people.
What in the world are you doing with a Tiffany and a Spartan?
Well, you got good taste.
Nice. All right.
You speak it like I speak it.
It's their face.
They're gorgeous.
Neo-classics like the Spartan and Tiffany are cool.
Some consider them gaudy and inauthentic,
and I can appreciate that side of the discussion.
But Spartan cars were the brainchild of auto designer Ron
Sparks, who built these cars in San Marcos, California
in the 1980s and the '90s.
Now, the 1920s-style bodies are made
from aluminum and fiberglass, and they sit on top
of a Datsun 280Z chassis.
Now, the Tiffanys, they were built around the Mercury
Cougars by the Classic Motor Carriage Company in Miami,
which is one of the biggest kit car manufacturers in the world.
Some take issue with calling these Frankencars kit cars,
because unlike those do it yourself
models, neo-classics like the Tiffany and Spartan
were assembled in factories.
So call them whatever you like, these
are unique rides that will no doubt
have heads turning and scratching wherever they go.
How long have you had them?
I've had this one for about six
and this one for about eight. - All right.
You know there's only 500 of these--
Of the Spartans.
--made in the whole wide world.
See, I called that.
I'm like, that's a Spartan.
He did call it.
Then there was only 1,500 of these made.
Of the Tiffanys, yeah.
And when was the last time either one of them
were on the road?
I just drove this one maybe about an hour ago.
Oh, really? [laughing]
That one's up and running and driving.
- And this one runs too. - OK.
I got you. That's all good stuff.
I love them both, but these Spartans are really cool.
What year is it? - '86.
The 280Z is what they built them off of.
That's where the T-tops came from.
There you go.
I'm just curious, would you ever sell this car?
Someone came around and asked me, and I was really like, no.
But I'm kind of-- - Thinking about it?
--in the wings of that.
So as far as just getting information
and keeping that in mind. - I got you.
We can talk, right?
Yes, absolutely.
Well, let me do this.
Let me trade some info with you. - OK, awesome.
You think about it.
And we'll talk again. - OK.
- Thank you. - Awesome, god bless.
Thank you for taking the time and talking about your cars.
Thank you very much.
Very nice to meet you.
Absolutely.
