Welcome, fellow car enthusiasts. My name is Rudy Samsel, and I co-founded Guys With Rides, the only dealer-free community and marketplace for car enthusiasts like you and me. I firmly believe there was a story under the hood of every classic car. That's why I created the Guys With Their Rides Podcast. In this podcast, I feature fellow car enthusiasts with interesting rides and the fascinating stories each one tells. Long-time followers of GuysWithRides will recognize Jeff Lavery, who contributed many Rad Era (1980-1999) Craigslist ClasiiFIND posts. In addition to still contributing on BarnFinds.com, Jeff created his own website, https://thecommongear.com/, where users can document all their car's records in one place. In this video podcast, Jeff and I debate whether a recent sale of a Mitsubishi Evo for $161,000 on Bring a Trailer was a money laundering scam or something else. We also hear Jeff's thoughts on the state of the hobby from a young timer's perspective and why we both agree Hagerty Insurance's market valuations leave much to be desired.

I firmly believe there was a story under the hood of every classic car. That's why I created the Guys With Their Rides Podcast. In this podcast, I feature fellow car enthusiasts with interesting rides and the fascinating stories each one tells.

In this episode, I interview Howard Kroplick and four signature classic cars from his stunning Vanderbilt Cup Races Collection:

1. 1909 Alco "Black Beast - in addition to Howard's stories about this mutiple award-winning early race car, you can watch my 360-camera view of what it's like to ride atop this beast in the following video: https://youtu.be/NgIWsqxW3E4
2. 1930 Duesenberg Murphy-Bodied Model J Berline (Four-Door Convertible w/Fixed window partition)
3. Triton A2 Aerocar - one of ten Dominos Pizza Delivery vehicle prototypes from the mid-1980s that never made it to production.
4. Tucker 1044 - One of only ten running Tuckers left in the world, Howard's car is the most awarded and likely the most accurate restored example.

Unfortunately, bad weather and tight schedules conspired to prevent me from interviewing my planned guest for this latest Podcast, so I opted to talk solo about three secrets certain Collector Car Auction Companies do not want you to know about.

In this video, I call out three little know secrets in the classic car auction world:

1. Mecum's use of "revolving inventory" to help fill their almost-monthly auction schedule.
2. Bring a Trailer's declining sell-through rate when you factor out that site's growing number of No Reserve auctions they continue to pressure sellers into agreeing to.
3. The growing percentage of dealer-sourced classic and collector cars in these auctions and how to deal with them.

Shawn Stewart is a professional dog trainer, having personally worked with past presidents and other well-known celebrities over his 27-year career. When not training dogs (really their owners!), Shawn is an avid muscle car enthusiast.

When his parents gave Shawn the title to the 1968 AMC AMX 390 they originally brought him from the hospital when he was just a few days old, Shawn decided to restore the well-worn, one family-owned AMX as a "Day 2" street machine.

Since completing the one-year-long restoration in 2014, Shawn won an award as one of Dennis Gage's celebrity picks at the famous Dead Man's Curve Hot Rod show held annually in New Jersey. Then in 2019, writer Scotty Lachenauer from Hot Rod magazine featured Shawn's "Plan B" AMX in the May 2019 print edition of Hot Rod magazine.

You can read the full article at this link: https://www.motortrend.com/features/day-two-1968-amc-amx-was-family-hauler-now-it-just-hauls/

Shawn provides a great overview of his AMX, what he did to make it an award-winning "Day 2" car, and his future plans for the car. Shawn also takes us through he and his girlfriend Rebecca's patented DAE Lead hands-free dog leash that will soon revolutionize the way dog lovers walk their pooch.

Since starting the Guys with Rides franchise five years ago, some have felt the need to criticize the use of the word “guys” in our brand. As far as I'm concerned, the term “car guys” is a gender-neutral pronoun.

No one epitomizes that fact more than Michaela Brass, AKA Miss Mopar, a passionate Mopar fan as far back as she can remember, Michaela is an enthusiastic car guy who wants to do everything she can to keep the classic car hobby alive.

While most of Koenig's Mercedes conversions centered on the SL and S class coupes, the company also produced a handful of wide-body SEL-based sedan models. This podcast highlights one such example. It's a 1987 W126 560 SEL that was originally converted when new at the Koenig facility. Following his untimely passing in 2013, the original owner bequeathed it to his best friend, who continues to own the car to this day. The following is my interview with Lou, the second owner of this ‘87 Koenig Special. Lou has some great stories during his eleven years of ownership. I hope you enjoy this podcast and without further ado, my interview with Lou and his 87 Mercedes-Benz 560SL Koenig Special.
