Foreign. Yep, I'm doing it. Welcome to Hoopie's Garage! The dumbest Automotive channel in all of YouTube and we are at the hoopty Barn that I rent to store extra vehicles that I tried to give up over and over again over the years. but then I keep filling it back up with cars and keep continuing to rent.

But I'm pretty resolved this time that we're going to sell enough cars uh, to not need this anymore even though I am losing my home garage as well as I've kind of just decided not just because I need a lot of money to get through all these personal issues that I'm uh, going through, but also I thought that I would wait and see and just make sure that I feel like well I'm done with having this many cars having 40 something cars, something ridiculous like that. Uh, make sure it wasn't like a fleeting feeling with everything else that's going on. But really I am going to level up the hoopty Fleet but this time also because I need money I am raising the stakes and this is going to be the biggest gamble I have ever made in my entire life. I'm going to sell four cars at the Barrett-Jackson collector car auction and one of them I know is going to be a very, very big ticket item and I may have to do a second one and that is uh with my Corvette Z06 we'll see the other one here a little bit, but the Z06 I'm debating along with my other Corvette now what isn't a gamble is getting rid of this now.

A lot of people are really mad that I'm selling this thing to the junkyard even though it runs and drives, it has massive electoral issues. but I'm selling it for eight thousand dollars to J J auto wrecking the motor's worth 10 grand, so people thinking that I should just give it to them. Well, it's still significantly valuable as a junk car thanks to that engine, a lot of other bits that it's getting eight thousand dollars to be junk. so if you can beat that I guess you could email me, but otherwise obviously I'm not giving the car away.

but two that I am selling are inside here. so uh, let's reveal them. Thank you! There we go. It's probably the first time these cars have seen sunlight in months or since they were sorted out at the car.

Wizards Uh, starting with the 1994 Ford Bronco the OJ spec I bought this on cars and bids from a seller who used this to give OJ tours in Los Angeles or Beverly Hills around where all the OJ stuff happened in the 90s I sort of recreated all those a bit more of it and weird but it was a cool, fun sort of Halloween themed trip and this thing is a mint lifelong California car and beautifully restored not only mechanically but the car wizard but also at Van Gogh They brought out the original paint, touched up some areas like the rear hatch in the tailgate and it just looks absolutely fantastic. A little over a hundred thousand miles and just amazing Immaculate underneath as well. The only bad part are these wheels which didn't polish out but actually inside of these boxes over here are brand new or I guess newly refinished Wheels to go on the Bronco to make it literally look brand new I should probably inspect one of these before. yeah, just put it back away I haven't even opened the box yet I'm gonna just put rocks in here.

With as much as I've been scammed lately, nothing really surprises me anymore. but uh yeah, they look like nice Wheels in a bunch of shrink wrap. Oh yeah, oh wow, wow yeah yeah, those those will do just fine. Very much worth the 600 for the set.

Oh now this one obviously isn't that big of a gamble. I was shocked the last time I sold cars at Barrett-Jackson that the 86 K5 Blazer that I had brought 30 000 considering it was a driver and a little bit worse condition than this. So I'm curious in Las Vegas where people see this really fun sort of OJ themed vehicle Will they get really excited and bit up like they did with the K5 Blazer So I got it cheap enough I haven't spent that much money on that. It's worth a chance.

Obviously not a big gamble with that one. Uh, the 68 Charger though a little bit more of a known quantity I Suppose people do know the values of these cars know them pretty well, so it's unlikely people will get carried away bitty on this thing, but also unlikely that it would go for an absolute steal. But once again, I haven't driven this thing really at all since it got sorted by the car wizard. it's a factory air conditioned 440 Car all that's working now.

all the electronics working new tires after the blowout when I bought this thing in Florida didn't even make it to Freddy's house before the 30 year old tires blew up. One repaints. but a very, very nice original interior in here so just a very nice stock charger. your rt440 I just haven't driven it I got this as sort of a replacement of the Superbird that I sold the Hemi Superbird and the last bear Jackson collector car auction I wanted a vintage Mopar sort of missed that fix, but really, now that I have it I wasn't using it so it does make sense for me to sell this as well and it'll be no.

Reserve So I'm not much of a gamble I think since these are known quantities and a lot of buyers out there especially to Barrett Jackson for a 68 Charger but it's just something that I haven't used and that's because. well, I use this a lot more I love my 66 427 Corvettes but it's another car I'm considering whether or not I should sell I have two Corvettes this and the 2023 Z06 and I need to decide which one. I'm going to get rid of the new Z06 which I'm unrestricted to sell now I'll get into that in a little bit. Plus the Big Big Gamble car, the one that I'm really going for broke uh, definitely going Vegas on.

This thing is over at the Hoopty hangers, so let's head over there in the 427 I have to make a decision based basically right now now or never and unveiled well. the big car that I'm selling in Las Vegas Big Gamble So this is my 1966 Chevy Corvette is my 1966 427 Corvette Nassau blue and I love this car every time I drive it. It just doesn't get old looking out over that beautiful Nassau blue painting, the crazy body bodies. But it's also such a nice modern, brake performing car, especially with that tremeck.

Gone is the Muncie four-speed Now it has a nice modern five speed in it so you can actually cruise down the highway without it being revved up. Easy shifts and as well. And I do have a few things I want to do to it I've been waiting to find a side Pipe exhaust so I can get rid of the funky exhaust that's kind of hanging too low and there is one wheel that's a little bit bent. and I want the knockoff wheels for the 60 scoreboard and they will knock off wheels.

but they're selling for uh, getting close to 10 grand now for those wheels. So I've been waiting and hoping. or just waiting until I feel like I can peel and tweel on one of those, but I haven't yet. but I also haven't driven this car all that much.

but I do really enjoy it when I do I mean the big charger is just a giant sort of lanyard. I feel like I could have a Chrysler Imperial again with a 4 40 like the 66 I had way back when for a fourth of the money and have the same experience and this car, well there's there's nothing like this. There's nothing like this car at all. for the money you know maybe it's worth 60 to 75 000 but uh yeah, I just I don't want to sell it.

but the problem is I really don't want to sell the other Corvette either. but it takes one or the two to kind of get me over the finish line. I think I know what I want to do? Yep, I'm doing it. So these two rounded out making it into a half a million dollar gamble that I'm doing here in Las Vegas Starting with the 1966 Shelby GT350 H and the haters in the Shelby American Forum That said, I would never race this thing that I will never do anything With it but sell it in a year or two.

Well, unfortunately they're absolutely right. They were so mean, but they were so right. Uh, with everything that's going on with me I haven't gotten this car on the track once I have family obligations now on almost all weekends so there's no vintage racing at least until the youngest is old enough to tag along with me. So this car would sit for years or it could be used by someone and raced tomorrow.

The car wizard has gone through this car. We've made it somewhat streetable with the gauges of key so you can actually Park this thing. It is tagged and registered, but this is a full out crazy race car. You can see it's racing pedigree in there with Monterey historics and Sonoma races over the years.

It was originally a Hertzman Eraser, a real Shelby serial number car that was sold 9 1968 and became a hill climber and a dragster and then it was found several decades later and made into a vintage race car. So this thing is so special in the fact that it's a Hertz This is by far the most common of the Shelby's For 17 a day and 17 cents a mile, you could have a rent eraser for the day. A lot of notorious things happening with these a lot of wrecked cars. Uh Hertz and Shelby still partnering to this day.

We tour their facilities and saw what they're building nowadays. like a thousand horsepower rental cars. Absolutely crazy. just as crazy as this was in the 60s.

but you're able to have the racing pedigree with what happened with this car afterwards. same as say a 350r or some very significant race car and this one well at a much lower Value Point a 65r depending on the Pedigree could be every bit of a million dollars, but this one you could race it for a fraction of the cost being the same running as those Group B boys and have the beautiful Hertz black and gold going down the track. Just one of the most gorgeous cars I have ever owned but I have committed to selling it No! Reserve at Bear Jackson and this is the biggest gamble because there's no comparison. There's no other car like this in the world.

Will there be two guys that want a vintage race so so bad? Or they want the coolest Hertz car ever? Uh, where they'll run up the car or not? I don't know I have no idea what this car will bring I know I paid a whole lot of money for it so there is a lot on the line. the other car, well am I going to say it? yeah I got to do it. But I'm gonna sell the Z06 even though I think this might be the greatest car ever made and the main reason is the value. Currently it's selling for about a hundred thousand dollars over MSRP and that's with people flipping them right after they purchased them because uh Chevrolet said if you sell it within six months, the factory warranty is voided for the next person.

and if you keep it for six months, you also get five thousand dollars in GM bonus cash. So I'm at the six month Mark I Bought this thing in mid-December and it's now almost June So I've had this car for six months now. the sun's come out and look at the paint a cyber Sonic gray metallic. why am I doing this? But I know I'm doing this because the car is worth so much money.

it is eventually going to be a used Corvette that will eventually sell for under MSRP people were paying way over for Prius pay over sticker and PT Cruisers back in the day and now. well they're just normal used cars. I Don't think this will ever be a normal used car with production issues and how scarce the 2023 model year will be. And of course this was the Indy 500 pace car as well.

Just so so neat. But I Need the money I Really need the money badly. If I'm going to keep a car, I'm going to try and own one that's not going to depreciate and there's amazing as the Z06 is. eventually it will start depreciating, it's that is absolute Peak Fever pitch right now.

Uh, but five years from now. 10 years from now. Well, that won't be the case. The Chrysler uh Plymouth PT Cruiser uh that was a car selling for over MSRP at one point and uh, well, those are worthless.

Same with the Toyota Prius. same with the Ferrari 599. At one point these were selling for over half a million dollars, well over their MSRP but then they dumped down to this one. well I got it for a little over a hundred thousand dollars.

manual swapped it. but I feel like these are a little unappreciated though with the beautiful styling and that Enzo V12 under the hood and this one I Manual swap. So I think I bought this at or near the bottom and it should go up in value. same with the BMW Z8 at or near its bottom in value I Don't think it'll go down in value.

it should go up the SLS The SLR shouldn't go up. They're not here right now. that's in a future video. The Lamborghini Countach definitely bought at the very very very very bottom.

even though selling that would be a big help in getting me over the hump here. I Do feel like this car is a great investment and it is just absolutely amazing to drive and look at. So I'm doing everything I can to try and hang on to it. which is why well the Z06 has to go five ten years from now.

it will be a normal used car. it will sell for back of its MSRP But right now people are so hot on these things and they are definitely worth it that they're selling for a hundred thousand over so scarce it's hard to get one of these than a Ferrari And the spec on this one is, well, much nicer I think than any car that's sold at auction before other than Strad Man's on cars and bids which I kind of feel like not to dunk on Doug too much because I've sold a lot of cars on cars and bids and bought a lot of cars and cars and bids. but it seems like the Z06s they've brought more at the collector car auctions with people getting hyped up for them. And since I'm selling a vintage car there and another vintage car, it makes sense to lump this there and make it sort of a collection and sort of a big deal along with me doing the live TV coverage.

So I'm gonna be super nervous. not only am I doing the live TV coverage at the Barry Jackson collector car auction in Las Vegas but I'll be taking the biggest gamble I've ever had in my entire life selling well, half a million dollars of course a 2020 306, the 66, Shelby GT350 the 68, Charger the 94 Bronco and uh yeah, I'll be sweating bullets. but it should be very, very exciting here in a few weeks. There's a lot more going on at the garage actually.

Uh, one more video in there with my SLR and SLS coming up and then we actually say goodbye to the garage forever and move everything out including the gigantic lifts. So yeah, a lot of goodbyes coming up here soon. but I'll never leave you guys! Thank you so much for watching.
