Robbie: There, right there. Mike: Alright.
These are the photos of the building?
Robbie: Yeah.
Mike: Okay, so here- this is all with the walls tore out.
Robbie: God, it's got great bones,
But man, there is a lot of work.
Mike: So what's the main objective here?
I mean, you're just going to store stuff in here, right?
Robbie: No, no, no- I want to clean it up so
I got a space that basically diamond dave
And I can work on stuff.
Robbie: How have you been?
Diamond dave: Good, man.
Robbie: How was the trip?
Diamond dave: Yeah, it was fine, dude.
Good to see you.
Robbie: Good to see you, man.
Mike: [chuckles] so you're thinking of diamond dave
While you're cleaning it out.
Robbie: Well, I got to give him a work area.
I want to take him underneath my wing,
Teach him a few things, and...
Mike: Like a mentor.
Robbie: Yeah.
Mike: Okay, that's what I already am to him.
He's already my guy!
Robbie: Listen, listen-
Mike: I mean, I mean, he's been working for me for 8 years!
Robbie: He, he feels like he's reached his potential with you.
Mike: There's no limit of potential.
Robbie: Well, I mean...
Mike: You got me... Okay...
Robbie: Yeah.
Dave wants like hands-on learning.
Mike: So what-
Robbie: He said you're not around enough.
He basically said-
Mike: I'm not around that much, but I mean-
Robbie: Well, I know.
Robbie: How are you going to mentor him?
Robbie: Rub on with the motion of one hand,
And rub off with the other hand.
Diamond dave: Right.
Robbie: He needs a little bit more, he wants to spread-
Mike: I mean, I understand that...
Robbie: He wants to spread his wings.
Diamond dave: How's this? Rub off? Same time?
Robbie: Yeah, same time.
Diamond dave: There, you like that?
Mike: So... Dave mentioned to you...
That he wanted his own space?
Robbie: Kinda.
Mike: Really. Robbie: Yeah.
Mike: He's never shared any of these thoughts and...
Dreams and... Things with me, like he doesn't, he doesn't do-
Robbie: I mean, he, you know, when he comes up, he hangs...
Mike: I mean, he used to do that, I guess.
Like he's talking about space away from me
Or just a space like...?
Robbie: No, no, just a space.
It's not a big deal. When I get the space done,
Dave- dave and I can show it to you.
Mike: Dave and you can show it to me.
Robbie: Yeah.
Mike: So should I like, bring flowers or a cake or something
Like that, what should I bring?
Robbie: Just bring a 30-pack of natty light.
Mike & robbie: [laughs]

Emily: So, I'm sending you guys to meet jim.
Now jim is a mechanic, um and his late father,

Robbie: Yeah?
Mike: What kind of cars?
What kind of cars does he have?
Emily: So jim says that his father loved anything chevy,
But he wasn't just married to that.
Mike: Nice.
Emily: So literally, anything from camaros to bel airs.
Mike: His dad sounds like he was pretty cool.
Robbie: Yeah.
Emily: Oh yeah.
And the thing is, is he just collected because he loved it.
He really didn't care about the value.

Hand you one of those, you probably talked
About some of this stuff.

Mike: See right there, I'm looking at,
It's like boom - coke machine...
Robbie: Yeah.
Mike: ...Right here.
Jim: We got a couple of them.
Mike: I know, right?
Jim: Yeah, we got a couple of them.
Mike: This thing's clean. Oh you even got the key in it.
Does that work?
The compressor and everything, it runs pretty quiet?
Jim: The compressor work, but there's no guts in it.
The wheel's not in it.
Mike: Oh, that's not in it.
Robbie: Yeah. That's the big- big money.
Mike: Yeah.
Jim: Yeah, that's right.
Mike: This is the big, this is the f83.
Robbie: Yeah.
Mike: Look at this thing. It's massive.
Jim: Now what is, what do you think that is, '50...?
Mike: Um, it's black tag, so anything after like '52 would be
A black tag; anything earlier than that would have a red tag.
Jim: Okay.
Mike: It's a desirable machine.
Jim: Yep.
Mike: But it's not one of the top.
Jim: Yeah, absolutely.
Mike: I mean, it's not like a model 44 or an 81 or anything.
Jim: Yep.
Mike: There are coke machines for collectors,
And then there's coke machines for people
That just want a coke machine.
That's what this model is.
Jim: Somebody set it up as gravity feed.
Robbie: Yeah.
Mike: Oh I see that, okay.
Robbie: See they built this inside it.
Jim: Yeah.
Mike: So they converted it.
Robbie: Yeah. Jim: Oh yeah.
Mike: They did a pretty good job of it.
Jim: It's not bad. The metal's in good shape.
Mike: Yeah it is.
Robbie: It's in good shape, I mean, it's not rotted.
Jim: What are you thinking?
Mike: I mean, I'd do 575. Just because, you know,
It doesn't have the right internals.
Jim: Exactly, oh if it had the wheel in it...
Robbie: It's just used as a refrigerator, basically,
Is what it is.
Jim: Yeah. Yeah, I think we'll do that.
Mike: Okay. Very cool.
That mantel's kind of neat.
Jim: Yeah, that came out of my grandmother's house,
And he always like that kind of stuff.
Jim: My dad owned his own construction company for...
45 years.
Jim: We did siding, roof and gutters,
Built a house and again. Just about anything.
Mike: You, you would do it with him?
Jim: Oh hell, I've worked with him since I was a little kid.
Mike & robbie: Yeah.
Jim: I saved up a little bit of money, and bought a '62 chevy.
Mike: Impala?
Jim: Yeah, impala ss.
Mike: No kidding!
Robbie: Really.
Jim: It was probably about a mile from here.
Jim: No motor, no trans.
Jim: I saw the guy push it out.
Jim: I see my dad buy and sell a few cars,
And well, time to try this one.
Jim: And it sat there for... 4, 5, 6 months.
And I thought, you know, I'd like to have that.
Mike: Well, how much was it back then?
Jim: Ah... 2 or 300 bucks.
We pulled it home with an international tractor.
Mike: Uh-huh.
Jim: And uh... Cleaned it up, put an ad in the
Washington post, I think.
Mike: Oh you just bought it to flip it.
Jim: Yep.
Robbie: Yeah.
Mike: Any kid that grow up on a farm and helps work that farm,
Becomes resourceful.
You have to be.
Mike: What did you end up making on the car?
Jim: It was probably about 800 bucks.
Mike: Really!?
Jim: Oh yeah.
Robbie: Yeah, but 14, you're like happy as can be.
Mike: Good for you, man, that's awesome!
Jim: Oh yeah. Hell, I thought I was rich.
Mike: 14-year-old boy, buying and selling cars
Of that caliber - that's pretty cool.
Robbie: Love the sign. For sale?
Jim: That is a local piece.
I'm not sure if we'd sell it or not.
Jim: That's probably been up there for at least 15 years,
I'd imagine.
Jim: Since it's a local beer, I thought I might keep it.
Jim: National bohemian, that was the cheap beer.
Robbie: When you say "cheap",
How cheap was a case? 4 bucks?
Jim: Probably.
Mike: [laughs] robbie: Yeah.
Robbie: National bohemian brewery is
One of those things that's on the east coast.
And what you want to do with those pieces in advertising,
You want to pull them into the midwest.
You'll never find this in the midwest.
Jim: Paint's nice on it.
It's got a few bruises on it, but you know.
Robbie: Looks like it was put through a roller system.
It's all crinkled all the way across.
Jim: I think it was walked on.
Robbie: Oh.
Jim: It's got dents all over it.
Robbie: It's got ripples in it, it's got a few rust spots on it.
But all it really needs is a wooden frame around it.
And that sends it to the next level.
Robbie: 250.
Jim: I was thinking about keeping that one...
Robbie: 275.
Jim: I'm kind of fond of money too.
Fond of money. [laughs]
Jim: We'll do that. Robbie: Alright. Cool. Thanks.
Jim: You can't keep everything.
Jim: This is a '71 chevelle, there's really nothing
Too special about it.
It's not a bad car for a maryland car.
We've done worse than this.
Mike: Yeah.
Robbie: You're looking at this car,
Most guys look at it and go - that thing's scrap.
But jim looks at it and goes - hey,
I can fix this thing.
Mike: You'll do your own restoration on this.
Jim: Absolutely.
Mike: Like, you'll do your metal work.
Jim: Absolutely.
Mike: Engine work, everything?
Jim: Everything.
I mean, there's nothing to one of these cars I haven't done.
Mike: Well, you're lucky, because your dad
Was your mentor on a lot of this too.
Jim: Yeah.
Jim: Well, me and my dad were definitely good friends.
I was lucky my dad gave me the direction to fix stuff.
I guess that's why I can do it.
Jim: I blame him all the time, every time I buy something,
An old rusty car or something.
"dad, it's your fault."
Mike: Yeah.
Robbie: Yeah, yeah.
Jim: You know, and he'd laugh about it.
But oh yeah, we had a good time with it, and he enjoyed-
Mike: But he was your mentor.
Jim: Absolutely, yeah, yeah.
Robbie: Hey uh...
Jim, I wanted to ask you about this.
Jim: Yeah.
Mike: Oh yeah, there you go.
Jim: That one, that one's been laying there for a few years.
Mike: The great thing about this pick,
Is finding things that are stored the way a collector
Wouldn't store them.
I mean, you're finding signs on top of a car upside down,
With this much dust on them.
Mike: Is that green underneath it,
Robbie, or on top?
Robbie: No, it's on, somebody spilled it on top of there...
Mike: Okay.
Robbie: ...Is what it is.
Jim: Yeah. Some of that will clean up.
Jim: Time got to them.
And we should have treated them better.
Jim: Sign's a little rough, but if it was in good shape
And had a frame on it, probably be 7 or 800.
Robbie: That's probably going to cost me
100 bucks to do the frame.
Jim: Yeah.
Robbie: And you got to paint it black.
And it's got to have a little copper strip that
Go around the outside.
Robbie: The esso sign is what I call "a barn hanger."
People want to plaster their barns with all these different
Types of signs, especially gas and oil.
Robbie: Condition of it's everything though,
I mean, it's starting to flake, you got green paint on here.
Jim: Yeah.
Robbie: But you know what, everybody wants a barn hanger.
Robbie: I'm thinking like... 250.
Jim: If you add 100 to it, I'd talk about it.
Robbie: 300. I mean, I still got to frame it.
Mike: The subject matter's great.
Jim: Oh yeah.
Robbie: The subject matter's good...
Mike: Yeah.
Robbie: ...But condition is... Is everything.
Jim: Yeah.
But what year do you think that is?
Robbie: It's after the war.
Jim: How about 3 -and-a-quarter?
Robbie: 300. Condition. Jim: Yeah.
Robbie: Condition.
Jim: You know, I don't think we paid probably
Little to nothing for them.
Jim: Yeah, we'll do 3.
Robbie: 300. Jim: Yeah.
Mike: Boom. Robbie: Thanks.
Mike: Alright. Robbie: Alright.
Jim: There's a couple of cameos back here
You might be interested in.
Robbie: Hey jim, is that the cameo short-boxes?
Jim: Oh absolutely.
Robbie: A cameo pickup truck was the corvette of pickup trucks.
It was a sport truck, that's why it short-bed.
No, no farmer wants a short-bed.
They want a long-bed.
Robbie: How long has it been back here?
Mike: Ogh!
Jim: 40 years.
Robbie: 40 years!
Jim: Maybe a little better.
Mike: Yeah, look at that, robbie.
Robbie: Short-box.
Jim: Original big back window cab... Short frame.
Robbie: Wow.
Mike: The chevy cameo truck was not made as a work truck.
It was made from '55 to '58, and it had a short-bed,
Smooth sides, I mean, this truck was made for cruising,
It was made to be seen. It was... [laughs]
It was short-lived.
Jim: I think there was only around 10,000 of them ever made.
Mike: Since they were short-lived,
And they were so unusual, and everybody's looking for
Short-bed trucks, all of a sudden, they want these trucks.
Robbie: Fiberglass bed. Jim: Very rare.
Robbie: I mean, this is... Oh yeah.
Robbie: The thing that makes a cameo truck special
Is it's got fiberglass sides.
It's also got a fiberglass tailgate.
It was a piece of jewelry driving down the road.
Jim: And there's another bed laying over here in
The grass that's been there for years.
Robbie: You got 2.
Mike: Same bed?
Jim: Yeah.
Mike: Fiberglass sides?
Jim: Yep.
Robbie: You got 2.
Jim: Yep.
The one side's hurt bad, but the other-
This side's pretty nice. And this-
Mike: Ahh, look at this, robbie.
Mike: You're just kind of looking at it,
And you're imagining what it could be.
That's what we're doing right now,
We're imagining these trucks on the road again.
Mike: It's so wild to see something so damn rare,
Just sitting out here, man.
Robbie: I could see my brother,
He's got his wheels working here, thinking,
"robbie is going to take 2 trucks and put them together."
Robbie: You have the rest of this trim?
Jim: It'll take a little while to find it.
It'd be tough to find.
Mike: Okay.
Robbie: And I'm always up to a challenge.
But to get into something like this... I don't know.
Jim: I mean, the more I think about it,
I might just hold onto them.
That might be the next project, you know.
Jim: I'm not going to say we don't need the money,
But we don't need the money, and it's...
You know, it sat there that long,
It can sit there a little longer.
Mike: Well, I'll tell you what, I mean,
You know we- we have interest in it.
Jim: Sure.
Mike: I mean, we've made that obvious.
If you scrape up everything, you know, let us know. Robbie: Yeah.

Robbie: Wow!
Mike: Wow, these run?

We had them all in the funeral procession.
All filled with family and grandkids and everything else.
And he'd love that.
Robbie: Really.
Mike: Oh my gosh.
Jim: Yep.
Jim: It was a church he had went to since
He was a young kid. And... I figured,
Well we got to have the cars in the funeral.
Luckily, the church is up here, and the graveyard is about 3
Miles the other way, and we actually came by the house.
Jim: With the hearse and all the cars in line.
And... Yeah, it was pretty good.

Jim: I think it should fire up.
Mike: Alright. Here we go.
Robbie: Pump it twice.
Pump it twice before you... [engine starts]
Jim: Here mike, you can go ahead and back it out.
Mike: There are so many different phases of,
Of car collecting.
You know, the search for the car,
Finding the car, restoring the car,
And then the best phase is the social aspect.
That's what's great about the story he's telling,
To me, about the cars and the procession to the funeral is,
You give so much to these cars...
Robbie: Right there.
Mike: Woo!
Mike: ...And then in the end, they give it back to you.
Robbie: It looks like a 30-year-old restoration,
But it sure does look nice.
Jim: This car was so bad when we bought it,
Most people wouldn't even have looked at it,
'cause there was a tree growing, there was no front clip on it,
Tree growing right here, had no floors in it.
Jim: A lot of guys start with nice cars,
And it's, "oh we restored it."
Well, they put a paint job on it and some new chrome.
The cars we've restored are...
Nut-and-bolt, everything.
You know, most of them the bottom looks as good as the top.
Mike: I love the interior, man.
Jim: It's a challenge.
They always say you're only as good as your last build.
Trying to keep getting better.
Mike: Robbie, what do you see these go for?
Robbie: I don't know.
Mike: Yeah, I saw that, dude. Would you sell that?
Jim: We could talk about it.
Jim: I think that's early '60s.
They're hard to get because it was dealership-only,
And they always broke if you sneezed on the thing,
It'd break.
Robbie: So impala era, basically.
Mike: Yeah.
There's no cracks or anything in it?
Jim: I don't think there's a crack in it.
Mike: The thing that's hurting it the most,
Is the yellowing of the plastic.
And the reason this is yellowed, probably,
Because of smoking. [laughs]
I mean, when you were, when you were looking at a car
Back then, if you're going to go look at a corvette or an impala
Or a camaro, you were smoking a cigarette,
The guy that was selling it to you was smoking a cigarette,
And all of a sudden, you're the proud owner of a chevy corvette.
Mike: Can I make you an offer on it?
Jim: Sure.
Mike: 1,000 bucks.
Jim: No, that ain't going to do it.
Jim: 10 years ago, plastic signs weren't bringing that kind of
Money, 'cause they weren't old enough yet.
And now, they're coming around.
Mike: What's going to do it?
Jim: I ain't going to lie to you,
I was thinking double.
Mike: Really.
See I figured... The back end on it was about 15.
Jim: That light plastic stuff, if you can get it unbroken,
Pays good money.
Mike: So you think it's 2,000?
Jim: I would say definitely 2.
Mike: Now everything has gotten so incredibly expensive and
So hard to find, that to me, plastic is the new porcelain.
Mike: What's your bottom you'd do on it?
Jim: I'd say 18.
Mike: I'd do 15.
Jim: Make it 16,5.
Mike: [sighs] 16.
Jim: Not going to talk about 50 bucks.
Mike: [chuckles] alright.
Robbie: [laughs]
Mike: 1,600. And think about this too.

Mike: You know what I mean, with the green light on it?
Robbie: Yeah, it is cool.
Mike: Yeah.
Mike: This is absolutely everything a piece of
Advertising should be.
It pulls you in, it draws you in,
It has your attention immediately.
The fact that it lights up and it looks like a robot.
Mike: This is so lost in space, man.
Jim: Yeah.

What spark plug are you going to buy?
It's simple.
Mike: 500 bucks.

Display of johnny cash.
Advertising hohner harmonicas.
Robbie: "get the hot sound with a horner harmonica.
Johnny cash."
Mike: Oh that's so cool.
Robbie: Yeah.
Mike: Look at that. So that needs to be framed.
Jim: Absolutely.
Robbie: Oh yeah, 100%.
Mike: Big-time.
Mike: The fact that it has any color,
And you can still see mr. Cash, is a big deal.
It's water-stained, it's busted up,
But if it's framed properly and presented well,
It's still going to sell well.
Mike: 200 bucks.

Jim: '66 to '57, it says.
Robbie: Oh yeah.

So you just basically spun the side right here,
If I remember right.
Jim: I believe so.
Robbie: Right here.
So you put it on your car right there,
There it is, chevy 6 v8, '66 to '63.
Robbie: If you were a service guy,
You went up to it, you go, hey I got a packard,
You'd go over to the packard thing,
You'd wheel it down to where it said packard,
And it told you everything that you needed to know about
That car at that time - what oil do you use in it,
What rear end it has, what brake fluid,
What lube points to hit - every single piece of that car.

So there's more, the j- j to v.

Mike: Those are cool, man. You got them all.
Robbie: How about 300? Alright.
Jim: Like I say, I know my dad.
I know he didn't pay that for them.
Mike: Look at that, oh yeah.
Jim: Hehe.
Mike: Look at that.
Robbie: I got that. Atlantic white flash. Yeah.
Mike: 20 bucks?
Jim: We'll do that.
Mike: How about "hank williams country hit parade"?
Jim: Um-hm.
Mike: And "red foley's homespun hits."
Jim: Like a lot of collectors, I think my dad collected
Stuff from his youth.
Mike: And then, I found this little running light.
Jim: Um-hm.
Mike: Which is kind of cool.
And then this money clip.
What do you think that is?
That's... Hopalong cassidy?
Jim: Yeah, there you go.
Jim: Even stuff like the hopalong cassidy stuff,
And the roy rogers stuff, that's what he saw on tv,
That's what he collected.
Mike: What are you thinking on that stuff there?
Jim: 65?
Mike: I'd do that. Jim: Alright.
Mike: Alright man.
Robbie: The '55 pacemaker chevy, with some clothes in here.
Jim: Oh that was a salesman's vest...
Robbie: Oh is that what it is.
Jim: Yep.
Robbie: And then you got the, the hat.
Jim: The hat. Yeah. Looking good.
Robbie: Oh you weren't kidding there,
Look at this thing. I'm going to try this thing on.
Mike: That ain't going to fit you.
[laughs] robbie: Yeah it will, what are you talking about?
It's going to fit me. Look at this....
Mike: Suck it in, baby!
Robbie: Fits me fine.
Robbie: Back in the early days,
Everything was about showmanship.
When you walk in the dealership, the little dude,
He had that vest on, he had the hat on.
You remembered seeing it and the advertising.
Robbie: Sir, can I help you buy a new car today?
Mike: [laughs]
Mike: I can't imagine anybody buying a car
From somebody wearing this uniform.
He looks like um, if donald duck and ernest had a baby,
[laughing] that's what they would look like.
Robbie: Look at that.
I got to buy this.
Jim: What are you thinking about?
Robbie: I love the hat, man. 75 bucks.
Jim: How about 100 on it?
Robbie: 150 with this.
Jim: We can make that deal.
That sounds good to me.
Robbie: Alright.
Mike: This is a mind-bender.
Jim: Yes. Mike: This impala.
Jim: Yep. Mike: Ugh!
Jim: And the poster's, you know, hard to find,
But the frame's very hard to find.
Mike: Oh my god, it's got, it's in the aluminum frame.
Mike: The beauty of this piece is,
The color is brilliant, and it's in the original frame.
A 1959 impala sport coupe, in all its glory.
Mike: Let's see the back of it. Uh... Ah!
Jim: [laughs]
Mike: Here, take that.
Robbie: Here, I got that.
Jim: Alright.
Mike: It's really cool too, I like that.
Oh yeah, man, it's just like fresh off the...
Showroom floor of the dealership.
Look at the colors on that, robbie.
Robbie: Oh I know, I love it.
Mike: With the aluminum frame and the colors,
This piece would have looked extremely futuristic in 1959.
Mike: You know, and then you've got everything
Going on here with different industry in america.
Wish I... Wish I had that car.
Jim: That makes two of us.
Mike: Uhh... 500 bucks.
Jim: Yeah, I think we can do that.
Mike: It's just, it's- it's a great piece. I love-
Jim: I think we can do that.
Mike: I love that it's in the original frame.
Jim: I always figured it was worth 300.
And mike threw out the number, I was like, well...
The time to sell is when somebody offers
You a good price.
Mike: Man!
You saved the best for last!
Jim: Well maybe.
Mike: Look at this, whoa.
Jim: My dad bought this for me in '85.
Robbie: This is the original color.
Mike: How rough was it?
Jim: Very- the only original piece of
Metal on this car is the roof.
Mike: If you had a car in high school,
It was a big deal.
But if you had a big block car in high school,
It was next level.
Mike: The fact that he still has this car,
Tells me that he's romantic, he's reliving
Those coming-of-age moments, all the time.
Sometimes it's not all about the horsepower,
It's about the memories.
Mike: Who restored this?
This wayne 60.
Jim: My dad.
Mike: This is more my speed right here.
Jim: [laughs]
Mike: What are you going to do with that?
Jim: We might sell it.
Mike: The design of the wayne 60 is iconic.
It's one of my favorite eras - the 1930s.
It really echoed the same design that was
Happening with anything transportation-related.
If you look at automobiles, planes,
Trains, boats, motorcycles - everything was streamline,
It was airflow, it was- it was deco.
Mike: Alright, the globe's reproduction.
Jim: Oh absolutely.
Mike: Yeah.
Jim: Uh, is that the right nozzle?
I believe it is.
Robbie: It wouldn't matter.
I mean, it looks, yeah it's a brass era nozzle.
Jim: Yeah. 25?
Mike: I'd do 2.
Jim: The pumps under the carport,
My mom said sell them if you get good money for them.
I was serious considering keeping all of them,
But how much stuff can you keep?
Jim: 22,5.
Mike: 22. Alright! I appreciate it, man.
It was restored long enough ago...
Jim: It's got a little look to it.
Robbie: Yeah, it's still got dirt on it.
It's got a little stank on it, yeah.
Jim: Yep.
Mike: The restoration is older, but it's just got the look.
You know, it had me from across the driveway.
Jim: [laughs]
Mike: Alright, buddy. Hey man, we had a good time.
Mike: Today is a perfect example of how the decisions
That we make add up to a life well lived.
Ed's passions and work ethic have left an incredible
Environment for jim and his family.
Jim: Good meeting you guys.
Mike: It's guys like ed that laid the foundation
For all of us young collectors to follow.
Jim: My dad definitely wouldn't have wanted
Anything to go to scrapyard, to the dump.
I guess he knew I'd take care of it.
Like honestly, we never discussed it.
[honks horn]
Robbie: Thanks, jim!
Jim: See ya later!
Jim: As odd as that might be, uh he knew.
He knew I'd take care of it.

Mike: Hey emily, what's up?
Emily: You guys are still in maryland, right?
Mike: Absolutely.
Emily: So, I have a lead for you, his name is darien.
He is a mechanic.
So his mom is from England, so he spent a ton of time there as
A kid and he developed crazy love for foreign cars -
Vespas, you know, that type of thing.
Mike: Perfect.
Emily: I know you guys are going to hit it off,
And you're going to have a great time.
Robbie: Okay.
Mike: Alright cool.
Robbie: Yeah.
Emily: Love you guys. Have fun.
Robbie: Have a good day.
Mike: Hey emily, I appreciate you.
Emily: Yeah thank you.
Robbie: We all appreciate you. Love you.
Mike: I appreciate you. Bye.
Robbie: Oh right here.
Mike: Lambrettas?
Robbie: There it is, right here, right here.
Yeah, he's got storage containers, I like that.
Mike: Oh yeah, look at that.
What is that, a rolls royce?
Robbie: Yeah. That... Wow... Old ford...
Mike: Do a double honk here.
Robbie: Yeah.
[honks horn]
Mike: Urrgghh- ahhh... Here we go...
Mike: Hey hey!
Robbie: You darren?
Darien: Hey. Yep.
Robbie: How are you doing?
Darien: Good.
Robbie: Rob wolfe.
Good to see ya.
Mike: Hey, mike, nice to meet ya.
Darien: Alright.
Mike: I see you guys are working on a lambretta,
There you go, man.
Hey, I'm mike.
Brandon: Hey, nice to meet you, brandon.
Mike: Brandon, nice to meet you.
Robbie: How're you doing?
Good to see ya, buddy.
Brandon: How're you doing?
Darien: That's my, my son.
Mike: You're wrenching on the lambretta?
Brandon: Yeah, oh yeah.
Mike: That's pretty cool.
You have an interest in this stuff?
Brandon: Oh yeah, I love old stuff like this.
Mike: Oh my gosh, that's awesome, man.
Brandon: Yeah.
Mike: It's so nice to see a younger guy
Interested in this stuff.
And not only interested, but wrenching on it.
Mike: I started buying lambrettas,
Uh... Like '97.
Brandon: Uh-huh. Yeah, I think I was
About 7 years old when I started...
Mike: Were ya?
[group laughing]
Mike: These younger people,
They're the ones who are going to keep this stuff
Out of the junkyard in the future.
And we need fresh blood in the hobby, man.
Mike: So what are you guys doing here?
Brandon: Just replacing the cover down there.
Mike: Did you rebuild the carb?
Darien: Yeah, we cleaned it out.
Darien: I collect antique automobiles, mostly.
Motorcycles, I like just about anything that's old.
I believe that there's a little spirit,
Whoever put that thing together, there's a little
Spirit left in there, from that person.
So, I try to save things.
Mike: You got a vespa here too, huh.
Darien: Um-hm.
Darien & brandon: Yeah.
Mike: Oh this is a cushman vespa!
Robbie: Cushman vespa.
Darien: Yeah. I think that was one sold by sears, right?
Mike: Oh yeah, it's got the cushman tag.
Robbie: Yeah.
Mike: Well, they- they were actually sold
In the cushman dealerships.
Vespa had a contract with them...
Darien: Oh yeah.
Mike: ...When they first came into the us.
And then, they were actually outselling the cushmans.
Darien: Hm.
Mike: Okay, so cushman's like, hey,
We're not doing this anymore, pushed it away.
Darien: Uh-huh.
Mike: And then vespa, you know,
Started opening its own dealerships.
I love the taillight on these things, man.
Brandon: Yeah, I do too.
Mike: I'm a sucker for a vespa.
Believe it or not, these things
Have power, man.
They're 2-stroke.
And then the airflow, the streamline look of them,
And then the italian stank on it,
They're so cool.
Darien: Partially why I like them,
Because my mother used to take us to England,
She's english, you know, and we'd go there every summer
After school, and they'd be riding around on the mopeds,
You know and...
Mike: Yeah, yeah -yeah-yeah...
Darien: ...It was an old guy down the street on high street,
That had a moped shop, you know.
Mike: Yeah.
Darien: And I used to go down there and hang out.
Darien: My mother's father had a fish and chips
Shop in leiston, England.
That's where ed crawford's moped shop was.
So when I was a little kid, I would go there,
Play with those, you know, and...
Boy that was fun.
So that really got me interested in that.
Mike: So emily was saying that, um,
That you have a, a business where
You're working on antique cars?
Darien: Yeah.
Newer cars too, bmws, you know, mercedes,
All the new fords...
Mike: So you're just, you're- you're crossing...
Darien: ...Service, everything, you know.
Robbie: Yeah. Mike: Really.
Mike: There's a fine line between an artisan and a
Mechanic, that can work on just about anything.
Because it takes that level of creativity to not only shift
Gears, but also problem-solve.
Darien: I used to go out and work on yachts and everything
Out at the slips, but I don't do that anymore.
Mike: No doubt.
Where'd you learn how to do all that?
Darien: I just taught myself.
Mike: When I look at a lot of mechanics that can do everything
From a boat to a motorcycle to a car,
They're like a, a michelangelo of motors, or a...
[laughs] da vinci of diesel.
Mike: There's a high level of brilliance.
It's really cool.
Mike: So, did you guys build this taxi,
Or did you buy it that way?
Darien: Well, I've had this taxi since I was 15.
Mike: And it looked like this?
Darien: No.
Robbie: Oh.
Darien: It... I do picture cars for movies.
Mike: Okay.
Darien: So, this was...
In the my one and only, with renee zellweger.
Mike: Oh I love renee zellweger.
Robbie: Yeah.
Darien: Uh -huh. Yeah.
Mike: She was great in cold mountain.
Mike: I like this bike, man.
I'll tell you what, the rickman's bad-to-the-bone.
Robbie: Oh that thing...
Darien: That came out of delaware, about 2 years ago.
It was on a farm. It was in a guy's barn.
Robbie: Yeah.
Darien: The guy rode it around the farm a little bit.
And then he parked it there.
Rickman's weren't, don't have very
Good shifting transmissions.
You got...
Robbie: Right, well it's a zündapp motor.
Darien: Yeah, you got to shift it nicely and get it into gear.
Darien: The rickman motorcycle company was english.
As far as I'm concerned, a lot of english stuff back in the
'70s was top-of-the-line.
And the rickman's kind of special because
They made just the frames.
And then they would put a triumph engine on,
You can get a rickman bultaco, or you can
Get a rickman zündapp.
Darien: And they were just a dag-gone good motorcycle.
Robbie: Is this something you're interested in selling?
Darien: Yes, I believe I will let that go.
Robbie: You know what year it is?
Darien: It's a '72, I believe.
Mike: Oh man.
Robbie: Anything that was enduro back in the '70s,
Those are very highly collectable now.
The fact that this is a rickman, it's an unusual bike,
And there's guys out there that are looking for these.
Mike: So will it fire up?
Darien: Yeah, it will fire up.
Mike: Start it up there.
Robbie: Let's hear it.
Darien: I hope it's got gas in it.
Robbie: Alright.
Brandon: We got gas over there.
Darien: And it's actually got one of the ticklers.
Robbie: Got a tickler on the carburetor?
Darien: Yeah, right here.
The british bikes, the british bikes...
Mike: Tickle 'er, darren.
Darien: Alright.
Mike: [laughs]
Robbie: It's tickled. Let's hear it.
Mike: Here we go.
Robbie: Kick it fast and hard.
[engine starts, revs]
Robbie: Darien is one of those guys that
Looks like he can make anything run.
But, when he kicked the bike over and it started
On the first kick, that never happens.
Mike: [laughing] there it goes!
Darien: Little smokey I guess...
Mike: [laughing]
Mike: Go across the grass.
Mike: My brother is flying by on the bike,
He's got the biggest smile on his face.
It's like he's outrunning officer trudell on
31st street in bettendorf all over again.
[group laughing]
Mike: Oh he's putting his leg down,
He's getting serious.
Darien: Well, if he breaks it, he buys it.
Mike: Alright, watchout, here he goes.
[group laughing]
Darien: He's going to hurt himself.
Robbie: Man, does this thing bring me back.
That's why these bikes, the bikes from the '70s,
The '80s, guys my age, they want to relive that youth again.
That was the greatest time of our life.
Mike: Whoa!
Darien: That's what the kids do with my golf cart.
Mike: Here.
Brandon: [laughs]
Mike: What do you think?
Robbie: I'm thinking 1,400.
Darien: Hm.
Darien: Well, I did have to rebuild, do some trannie work,
Put a new tire on it, new inner tubes... You know.
Darien: How about 1,600?
Darien: I think it's well worth it.
I don't think the chain's worn out-
Robbie: 1,500.
Darien: 1,550.
Mike: Looks like he's doing it.
Darien: Alright. Go ahead.
Mike: Yeah, he's doing it.
There you go.
Brandon: Good deal. [engine starts]

Darien: Yep, and still in the box.
Robbie: In the box. Darien: Yep.
Robbie: Wow, look at the box, man.
Mike: Oh yeah, yeah.
Robbie: The box is incredible.
Darien: "b. Hurley." benjamin hurley,
He had a dealership in seaford.
Robbie: Darien unboxes an original desoto piece.
It's got great color to it, it's advertising the
Hemis when they first came out.
Darien: That keeps going.
Robbie: That's big, huge.
Mike: [wolf whistles]
Robbie: Wow.
Mike: Whoa! Robbie: Whoa.
Mike: Wow, look at that.
Darien: So...
Mike: Firedome, baby. Hemi.
Robbie: "'58 desoto, the exciting look
And feel of the future."
Mike: Yeah.
Darien: All in yellow, which is crazy.
Mike: So this would have been like a
Banner probably against...
Robbie: Inside the-
Mike: ...No from like the ceiling up onto the wall,
Right across the ceiling all the way across, probably.
Robbie: Yeah.
Darien: Yep.
Mike: It's huge.
Darien: Yep.
Robbie: The fact that this is hemi...
Mike: So the condition down here gets better as you unroll it.
Robbie: Down here is better, yeah.
Darien: It gets better, uh-huh.
Robbie: I mean, it's cool.
Robbie: They used a lot of corrugated
Advertising pieces in the late '50s, early '60s.
A lot of them didn't survive, because you could
Push against it, and that would dent it.
The fact that this is actually, we unroll it,
It's got a little bit of mouse chews on it,
No big deal.
Robbie: I like the fact it's got the box on it.
Mike: Yeah. What are you thinking on it?
Darien: I really don't know. That's...
Robbie: I think because it's corrugated,
It's not something that you could chop up,
Because of where they've put...
Mike: It's all tied together.
Robbie: Yeah, it's all tied together.
They put "the exciting look," and it starts right there.
You can't take that off.
Mike: To me, the big problem is, is the size.
Robbie: You know, one person would have
To buy that whole thing.
Mike: You know, there are guys that will cut this
Up and make it more manageable.
But I would never do that.
Mike: It's all so desoto.
Robbie: Yeah.
Mike: Which isn't a super desirable car,
But what's great about it is, it's- it's mopar
And it's hemi. I think...
Like 600 bucks.
Darien: That sounds okay to me.
Robbie: 600?
Darien: Yep.
Robbie: Alright.
Mike: Boom!
Darien: The desoto sign, I bought this old abandoned house.
That was up in the attic.
So, I bought the house for 25,000.
Well guess what, now I only paid 24,400 for the house.
[laughs]
Mike: You spend any time on these things?
Darien: Yeah, in- in my younger days.
Mike: Were you old enough to ride these in England?
Darien: No.
Mike: Did you ever get to that point?
Darien: They wouldn't even let me ride a moped.
When my mother used to take me to England when I was younger,
I would watch these things flying up
And down the little streets down there.
Mike: Like what year are you talking about,
You remember that?
Darien: And that's how I fell in love with them.
About 1962, '63.
Mike: Yeah, see that was like the mods
And the rockers back then.
Mike: The mods rode scooters, and the rockers rode triumphs.
They were motorcycle guys, leather jackets,
Kind of like an english grease.
The mods were more hip - trench coats,
Skinny suits, skinny ties.
Darien: Yeah.
Robbie: Yeah.
Darien: And the roads were full of blue smoke.
Robbie & mike: Yeah. [laughs]
Darien: Smelled so good. [laughs]
And I wanted one so bad.
Mike: So that's, that's your connection with these.
Darien: Um-hm.
Mike: Darien and I both have similar experiences in europe.
I went to Italy in 2000, and brought back a container load
Of vespas with a buddy of mine from atlanta.
Darien's been to England, he's experienced the culture
And the lifestyle around scooters and
Mopeds over there, first hand.
Mike: How connected are you to this?
Darien: Not very.

Mike: That was fast. That was pretty fast, man.
Darien: We started working on it,
But I don't have time. [laughs]
Mike: I mean, it- let's just, we can probably safely
Say the engine needs to be rebuilt.
Darien: Yeah, you'd have to take it apart.
Mike: Yeah, it looks like you got a little bit of
Wiring action here, yeah.
Darien: And put a new kick start shaft in there.
Mike: Oh yeah, why is that one all ground off?
Darien: That, they probably- mike: Oh god [laughs]...
Darien: They kicked it loose or something.
Mike: There's no, there's no teeth
On it at all, man.
Robbie: There's no teeth on it.
Mike: There's no teeth on that.
Mike: This thing has been knocked around since the 1960s.
It's had a hard life. I mean, you can see that.
Darien: 8,400 miles.
Mike: That's a lot for a us scooter.
Darien: Yeah. Robbie: Yeah.
Mike: How bad is the tank?
Darien: Well...
Robbie: It needs to be replaced.
Darien: I don't know, probably.
Mike: That can be saved.
Darien: Yeah.
Mike: But to me, it's still a good candidate for restoration
Or if somebody just wants to do a mechanical restoration on it.
Darien: Bunch of parts. More blinkers.
Mike: Blinkers.
Mike: That's the way I would do this, rat-rod scooter. [laughs]
You know, dirty, dirty bird.
Mike: What are you thinking on this?
Darien: I'm thinking 600 bucks.
Mike: Yeah I mean, obviously, for me,
What stands out the most about it is the cushman badge.
A lot of people that would be interested in this,
With the cushman badge, it would go back overseas.
Darien: Um-hm.
Mike: Because these scooters are way more collectable in
Europe than they are here in the us.
So I'll, I'll do the 6.
Darien: Okay.
Mike: Alright, I'm going to do that,
I'm not even going to talk you down like robbie did.

Mike: When you think England,
There are certain things that are just iconic - the english
Phone booth, the english guard, the dudes with the big hat,
Fish and chips, and of course, the english taxi.
Mike: Now where did this come from?
Darien: Local barn find.
And here's your switches, to turn on the taxi.
Robbie: That turns all the lights on?
Mike: What's the value of something like this?
Darien: Most people restore them,
They put v8s in them and stuff, you know-
Robbie: How fast...
Darien: And I've seen them sell for 19,000,
Paint, painted up and everything.
Robbie: When we're looking over this taxi cab,
All I can think about is, this is like luxury here.
Mike: So your luggage just sits right in here.
Darien: Yeah. Um -hm.
Robbie: It's got an outside area for your luggage,
The back seats are deep in the vehicle.
It's very open and airy inside, the windows work.
Darien: It's... Actually mostly fiberglass,
That's why it's so light.
Robbie: It's like, they took this english taxi out of service
In England and shipped it to the united states,
It got put in a barn, and this is exactly how it was found.
Robbie: How, how's it run?

Robbie: You gone through everything on it?
What'd you do to it?

They went up and down.

Mike: He said he took a hammer and beat the
Valves till they went up and down. [laughs]

He doesn't understand what's about to happen.
