Tire shine on dash?!?!? cant be more getto lol...I cant believe anyone is actually thumb up this crap work...Unbelievable
Just Curious, I didnt see the top repair. Someone gave me one day tickets to this auction, Im only 45 minutes away from Kissimee may check it all out.
Best choice ever to mix it up and get Dave and Devin in on doing some video. More of that!
New German is doing PHENOMENAL! Looks like he can handle ANYTHING! Devin, you the man! Wooooooooo
What happened to German?
Devins work ethic is above and beyond. Great mentor to him!
I saw the mustang at Kissimmee. That seat repair was so cringe. They used fishing line and didnt bother to snip the excess line off. Looked like a 10 year old made an attempt to repair the seat. I am huge into foxbodies and this one you could tell they polished a turd. Be happy that it sold for 8k. The worst foxbody there was the green convertible with saleen stickers. Those shock towers were rotted out. That was a happy seller because he got 9k for that pile of trash
Bro, I’m in FL and first thing I do is look under the car. If it’s rusty, I know it came from up north and I’m out lol
you have a really good team! awesome too see them really chipping in on the videos
Is anyone going to talk about the ELEPHANT in the room….the GIANT TEAR IN THE ROOF. Is the buyer going to get the Flying Wheels Surprise !
I had a 1993 notchback LX 5.0 police interceptor with an upgraded cam, Tremec T5, etc. Best time in my life so far and I drive a Tesla Y (range) now. However many foxbody owners will not like to see a ragtop. It goes against a notchback (trunk) over hatchback. Nice pick overall.
Great job on the Mustang! It's "rust-free" for NH, but it would be called a "rust bucket" where I live in Texas. Good luck with the auction.
Also from Texas, about ten years ago I bought a 2004 GTO that was originally sold in Michigan and the undercarriage was so rusty that it couldn't even be aligned properly.
Great vid guys. I’m not a detail expert in any way but, and tip I learned log ago…always have you wheel weights mountain on the back of the wheels. Never on the front. Little things like this make the difference.
10:59 when you can make Craig go "whoa" you did a great job Devin.....KEEP HIM CRAIG!!!!
Can’t believe you’re selling the Skyline. Wish I had the money to buy it. Excited to see what it brings!
WOW !! Great Job Devin and Dave, You got a great crew !!
i was going to say sos pads to polish/clean the chrome tips but then i saw you actually using it. amazing how good they work
Devin 😊 appreciate and applause 🎉🎉. Craig wow this kid is showing he cares about you and the business.
I gotta believe collectible cars are gonna be soft as baby food. The Economy is Weak, toys are expendable. New Corvettes under MSRP. , and you can get a loan on it.
You aged yourself with the "rag top down so my hair can blow". . . love vanilla ice
Wrong mustang model entirely. Recheck that!
When the cars renew those intake platinums on top of the motor was shiny metallic silver, I guess they all faded into primer gray in the last 30 years..... seems like yesterday when I had these cars new.
You are so lucky to have Dave and Devin. Nice to see that you know it.
The mustang looks great. Your crew is a keeper. Great video.
0000 steel wool is better than SOS on chrome. Won't scratch at all. Looks like you have fine scratches in the chrome after the SOS (maybe there before cleaning)
They sell a cleaner called brighter. You get it from detail shops and it cleans Chrome like new. It's actually A real cleaner in chrome cleaner
The Mustang made it to Mecum. Now the funny part.Craig will pretend not to know it will sell for $5,500 . Imagine having a job where you can purposely lose money ,only to make money on ad revenue. It's a strange world we live in
Holy $hit , the one car that sells at Mecum Craig netted 7,200. And still broke even..Making dumb videos for UA-cam revenue
Dave and Devon mean serious buyer. Every time you have to fire someone. (Not German but other mechanic) great people show up
Did you fix the big rip in the mustang top? I didn’t notice it in this video while the top was up? Great stuff @Craig !!
The boot for the top when down should be black and not white as the white cover was for the white leather interior cars. Looks like the car is missing all the vin stickers in the engine bay as there should be one on each fender and also the bumper cover. Definitely a cool nostalgic driver but with interior issues and being an LX/Auto/Vert in this condition, would be surprised if it gets to $6-8k.
I am sure you will be surprised at what it gets.
@@mexicanspec What is your guess? It will also be interesting to see if he has the same position of 146k miles when selling, TMU or going to present it as 46k original miles. That of course will effect the price to some degree.
It is impossible to guess what it will get. It more depends on if there are two people that have to have it more than what the car is. remember the last Mustang he sold there with original miles, they did not announce that so people will have to make their own determinations.@@jpat99
Wound up doing $8800
I bet it would have done better on Bring A Trailer.@@emeyer6963
if @FlyingWheels wasnt so far away, I'd want Craig to give me advice on two Lincolns that I just dont have time for but would love to restore!
This dude rocks!
You have a great team! Love the R33, but if the novelty has worn off and it's just collecting dust (and tree sap), then it's time to cut it loose. Remove things from your life that aren't serving you. On the Mustang, it's always best to handle all of the car's mechanicals (and structural) before tackling any cosmetics. Between the tech rubbing against the fenders, getting in and out of the car while being dirty from working underneath it, etc., it just makes more sense to get it mechanically 100 before breaking out the polish and Armor All (if at all possible). Also, I would have either replaced the cone filter with the stock airbox if you could find one, or at least, replace it with a fresh one. The horn button should have been available from any used Mustang parts outlet, or a reputable repop aftermarket company (LMR, CJ Pony Parts, American Muscle, etc). That car did clean up really nice, though. It wasn't that bad to begin with. Good luck at Mecum!
@5:30... take the clamp weights off the wheels and rebalance with stick on weights. If I saw those on a car at Mecum, I'd walk away. Also, remove the old dealership sticker and that weird thing off the 3rd brake light. 23:00... Yeah, we noticed you're very big on taking vacations. You're about experiences, my dad believed is "stuff". He said an experience lasts a week, stuff lasts forever. When I was a kid, we took took vacations in my entire childhood. One to Acapulco and one to Disney World. That's it. I did get to go to Lake Winnipesuakee for summer camp 3 summers, but that's not really the same as a vacation.
Exhaust tips use fine steel wool to give it a nice shine, magic eraser on the convertible top cover.
Put the wheel balance weights on the inside! Makes a better look!!
Nice! Taking care of your family, too. Enjoy. Make those memories.
Just sell it off your lot... Its a nice mustang, a little lighter version of the GT but not rare or that special of an example. It may not be worth your effort for the auction. But then again you never know.
Hey Craig, Very entertaining ep. You're the damn man! Congrats on your success!
Ucd's have a bad name because of this stuff! Sneaky repairs that wash out in 6 months! This rusty car should not be presented as a restored car! This is not a good car, and I am sorry for the person who buys this thing! I used to like your content. This is nuts showing how you mist some paint to get the best price! 6 months down the road when all that flakes off and looks original again. It really puts people off on the car hobby! Maybe if you took the time and bought your cars earlier , knowing the time-line, more quality repairs could have been made! Instead of lipsticking cars to meet the deadline!
He isn't presenting it as a "restored" car.
At least he posting it on UA-cam for the public to see, so he’s not really hiding anything. I’m glad he’s actually showing some tricks of the trade so people know what to look for when buying used from a dealer.
It's a 33 year old car. Buyer should look underneath it before they even consider buying it. ITs actually not in that bad of shape.
Too many expenses it's to turn these cars at The auction. You also have Pay for flights hotel and rental car. Too much aggravation for an iffy return.
Craig, I know this is probably late but pay attention to the left turn signal. It is sticking too far out and to me that indicates prior damage.
That Lexus is awesome! So is the 5.0 👍
I can’t believe that people from the north eastern states consider Florida cars to be so good. Cars from the Pacific Northwest are by far the cleanest, rust free vehicles in the country and have ZERO UV damage. When I travel to Florida, Arizona, Hawaii etc I am always shocked to see how bad the sun has damaged the vehicles. Yeah, they’re rust free but the interiors and every piece of trim is beyond repair. The gems are all in Washington state, Oregon, Idaho and Northern California.
Hi Craig I'm not only a dealership salesman and owner I'm also a restoration genie. Lol.. Great job guys mustang looks awesome...
I'm guessing it was owned by a New England snow bird since it had the North Berwick Auto Center, Berwick ME decal (our current home town). Great videos, keep up the good work 😎👍
Great to see the tricks of the used car trade when I negotiate the price of my next used car.
Didn't you rip the top when you put it down? Didn't see that repair
The detail guys deserve a bonus on this one......
Do NOT use SOS pads on chrome!! Ugh. WAY too abrasive. The chrome shine is gone from those exhaust tips.
Chrome polish only, very fine polishing abrasive.
Nail polish, spray can the wheels, spray can trims, little short cut here little flying wheels there but you know what ship to mecun 😂
Do you feel bad about using nail polish on a "collectors car" instead of real paint?
As much as you ship, would it be more cost effective to buy a tow truck (there is other value in this as another business) or truck and 5th wheel with 2 car trailer to transport? A full time staff member and an International truck with a flat bed and wheel lift (also a trailor to go on hitch for 2 4 wheel drives) would be a write off for expense and benefit the business in 3 ways? I only say as I once started a small dealer in Dallas that ended up with 3 tow trucks and a city contract , eventually being so lucrative and big I had to partner up before selling it on due to having 14 trucks , an auto auction and thousands of cars with 5 city contracts for recovery.
It sounds a headache and is but is no more a headache than dealing with liars and conartist all day trying to keep a small dealership open with loads of travel and being responsible to your staff.
"I'm burnin rubber, you heard me clear, I didn't stutter"
Did you fix the hole in the mustang top....or just hid it by putting the top down
I was wondering the same thing. That top looked pretty rough.
@@randypinchard1553 It is rough.I looked at it today.
Please reduce emoji use by 75%.
Hope you and your family had a great Christmas and New year 🎉
I don't know if you know this Craig but the real car wizards name is also Dave... What a coincidence 😂😂😂
Why don't you tow a trailer down for the auction and save at least $1200???
This looks like it was filmed in the summer, but for future good: The spare goes the other way up and with the jack extended halfway it fits inside the rim. The holddown can be had at a you-pull-it, just about any fomoco passenger car (but not wagon) 79 to 06 (& maybe newer?) had the same spare/jack arrangement.
Hey Dude, look past the negative comments and laugh out loud all the way to the bank.
Love the hustle
Hate when people
Say “hustle” that means you are doing someone wrong. Craig provides a service not a hustle
@@startingtech3900 he"s definitely hustling...but he"s not hustling people
Did he call Purple Power a car wash/wax? 🤔
It's easy to break even if you don't factor in any fixed or variable cost!
The Car Wizard is The Car Wizard!!! If you want to give him a name, call him "The MacDaddy of Cars," or something. Car Wizard is taken! 😂😂😂
Smart move. Winter is prime convertible weather in Florida.
Craig, I love the way you clean up cars for sale. But if I bought a car from you and some of the BS touch ups wore away in few months, I would be very p*ssed. You have alot more responsibility than just putting lipstick on a pig. This borders on being deceptive. Also, if I buy a car from Mecum or Barrett Jackson, my expectation is, the car is pristine, best of the best; not spray can BS. Please remember, bidders can't do anywhere near a thorough inspection at auction. They have to trust the sellers to do a QUALITY RESTORATION.
everyone deserves time off with the family, all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy
Congratulations on adding Devon to your team.
Totally Awesome Cleaner at Dollar Tree is Hands Down the BEST cleaner/Degreaser! Better than the purple and green stuff. EXPECIALLY for only $1.25!!
Why are all of your boat videos gone? Which car jumpstart pack do you use? I can’t find the link.
The mustang looks really rusted underneath for a florida car.
I am going to be there also. Selling 3 cars, hopefully I will run into you. I am also a 1 man show and have a lot in common and don't live to far from you in southern Maine.
Bring you winter clothes.Chilly down here now.
Do you know how to assemble the spare and jack properly under the trunk floor?
I love those old 5.0 mustangs. We owned a few of them growing up. Are you located in New Hampshire? Im in Vermont and my cousins live near Conway.
MAJOR L for advertising vape products
Personally I love watching this detailing cuz I love detailing thank you very much
I was at the opening day of the Mecum Auctions in Kissimmee and searched for the white Mustang. I couldn’t find it. Did you actually go? Usually the inexpensive cars are auctioned in the early days of the auction.
Was there today and it was in the lot to the left when you turn off of 192 .Runs on Monday
It's hard to advance cars in that price range enough to overcome those expenses. If you are going to ship cars to different markets they need to be high priced enough to overcome those expenses.
Also seems strang to ship from rust belt to no rust states. Maybe backwards even.
Craig is doing all of this more for the video views than anything else. There"s a lot of $money$ in good content
I would’ve loved to buy this from you for my 15yr. old and save you the auction hassle. I’m 45 minutes from Kissimmee- guess I’ll be heading to Mecum today!!!! Good Luck!
Car goes on the block Monday.Saw it today.If you go to look at it it is in the lot to the left when you turn off 192
These guys are top notch!
How long did you use your first floor plan?
Did I miss it, did you repair the top on the Mustang?
Yes
Help! How do i find government car auctions in new jersey?
Hey Craig! What shipper do you use to transport your vehicles? I’m looking to transport my vehicle from FL to NH this year, and I want to pay $800 or less.
What’s going on do you still have the 300c for sale let me know.
I so wish I could’ve bought your skyline. Love those cars.
Very informative! Thumbs up
lx is a v6 right
THAT KID WHO DETAILED THE CAR IS GOING PLACES!!
Hell yeah
What percentage of vehicles you sell are outside your area to viewers?
30%
Watching all the big car builders on TV and online sending cars to mecum, seems hard to break even but maybe cheaper cars is the way to make money there
Nothing is really bringing the money so far.Lot of no-sales.
Way to go devin. You got the old 5.0 looking great
How much for the skyline
That youngster is a good worker.
Lauren is so cool! 😊
To make good money at a really high end auction you can't have just run of the mill cars. I'd say cars worth 50k and over you have a chance unless there are two people that have to have your car and that's unlikely
great stuff thanks
Good way to start the news years!!!
Good thing you put lil pictures for us about everything you're talking about... cause or else I would be completely lost
I was hoping to see more of your mechanics. smooth transition from the previous "star" imho.
The headlights are out of alignment, it’s been hit at some point, or something’s been messed with.
Sell the stang in the spring ! Post it on , bring a trailer
So inspiring!!
Why is your shipping 1200 a piece? Do you not have central dispatch to ship cars?
he explained it in the video.
Anybody ever tell you that you look like Johnny Bananas from MTV's The Challenge?
Yes
