Let's go walk inside Streetside Classics right here, Concord, North Carolina. Go take a look and see what they got. All right, this right here is a '93 Mustang, never been driven. Look at that, '93 Mustang Cobra SVT, $130 grand. Still got the window sticker on there, still got the plastics on the seats. It's got the original tires, everything's original on this car. So this thing has definitely been sitting around. This car right here is in perfect condition. Brand new '93 Mustang. Like I said, still got all the plastics on the seats, still got the plastic on the, on the mats. I mean, you cannot get a car in a better condition. And this thing's been a '93 Ford Mustang Cobra SVT. Look at that, $130 grand. What's this thing for brand new? Before was $21,000, you could have got this car. So if you could have had money back then and just put this car up, look how much your investment would be worth more. What was that, $20,000, $107,000 more? That ain't a bad, uh, ROI on a car. Now this is one good-looking restomod right here. So this is, I believe, a '65. Let's see. Yep, '65 Ford Mustang Fastback. That thing's about a $200,000, about a quarter of a million dollars. Let's take a look inside this thing. So as you can see, inside's been all digital, all digital right there in the center console. A little short shifter in there. Everything's been redone. It's a good-looking color too, that green. Yeah, that looks good. Go see what else they got in here. What else is special? It's all right. Nope, that's a no-go. So you like this one? I think it was a '68, '69. Yeah, '68. It's all right. This one's only 70 grand. Let's see what else is around here. About one old short truck, old long bed, old shorty right there. A lot of y'all ain't seen them Vipers in a while. Old Dodge Viper. Now these things are super dangerous. They're lightweight and they got a hell of a lot of damn motor in it for, for as light as that car is. These things are basically a race car for the damn street. So what year is this thing? 2000 Dodge Viper. Well, that ain't bad. $63,000 for them, pretty much a damn supercar. Some '70s, let's see, '70 what? Yeah, '71 right here. $85,000, basically $85,000 for a C10 restomod. Inside's pretty clean. This is here about '70, '71 also. Yep, '71 C10, 100 grand. See, I don't like— you know, some people like the wooden bed. I do not like the wooden bed. Keep, keep the paint in there. Here we go, some old— probably a Cobra kit car. How you doing? Factory 5K, '80 500, 75,000. I bet that thing will get up and get it right there. A lot of y'all don't know what that is. It's a Plymouth Prowler. They stopped making these a while back. What year is this thing? 2001. $33,000, $34,000. Here's some more Camaros. Some people like that, you know, how it come factory like that. I don't, I don't really like that, but to each its own on that one. What was this, probably '66, '68? Yep, $54,000. It's all right. You got— man, you gotta have a damn Camaro, you gotta have a damn shifter in there. I don't like no automatic. Not a lot of people can drive stick shifts anymore either. This ain't bad. I changed the color on it. That's automatic, that's a no-go for me. That's a good looking color, I like that. It's all right. Headlights, '67, $130 grand. See, shifter in there. What I don't like is the convertible top. All right, and here's a C10. It's probably, I must say, a '67. Then they put the mirrors up top, they used to be down here. What was that? Uh, '68. So I'm off a year. $70 grand. I do not like the mirrors here. Mirrors should be down here. It's all right, it's got air ride system on it. Look at that orange color. I don't really see anything that catches my eye except the first cars we've seen. Let's go over 2 cars. So one's going to be a '93 Cobra SVT. Now this thing has still got the window sticker on it from the factory. It's never been driven. It might have, you know, your— of course your, your miles coming from the factory, right? Like, look here, you could have bought this car for $21,000. It's a Mustang '93, so it's an SVT. So it's an SVT Cobra. That thing appreciated to $129,000 now. Still got all the plastics all over the seats, plastics on the floor mats. I mean, there's not a scratch or dent in this car. This car is in perfect, perfect condition. Not only that, let's take a look at this car that's beside it. So I believe this is a '68. Yep. So this— oh, '65 Ford Fastback restomod. So let's take a look at this one. So this one here has been redone. All right, let's take a look at this Bronco right here. This thing's sitting on some 40x13.50R17 Baja Boss MTs on there. Let's see, how much is this Bronco? $80 grand. So it's a '74 Bronco, got the snorkel kit already on there, jacked up. You can already see it's got the headers on it right up under there. This is just something to just have a little fun in. Let's see. Yep, so that's tacked on. You can't remove the whole top top right there, so that's tack welded up in there, a couple little rivets. But it ain't in the best condition. But something like this, if it was in top, top condition, this would be quarter of a million dollars for these old Broncos. That's the inside of it. Of course, you expect a little dust, but little rust spots here and there on there. I like how they got the door handles Just open them just like that. Now how do y'all like the Broncos right here? That's an old Bronco. That's a good looking damn truck right there. Here's the old Camaro. Looks like they're gonna be going up for sale. Pretty good looking one. I really don't like the interior on these cars, man. If I would have did it, you know, you got out— got sticky some Alcantara right there in the center. I'd keep the wheels. Wheels ain't bad looking. The car ain't bad looking. But I would definitely change that interior. And I— you can keep that. I would just tear that inside out and put, put some, um, black Alcantara right there on the center. Change that steering wheel out too. Other than that, it's a good looking damn car.
