Richard Rawlings' BIGGEST Buy: Over $1 Million Classic Car Nest in Wisconsin!

Thanks, we just landed in Wisconsin. I brought big Chris with me because there are over 200 cars here and we're going to try to buy as many as we can if I were to try and give a ballpark figure of what might be out there it could be cars worth 15 to 20

million

dollars this it's a collection of perfect car numbers matching Corvettes Camaros Chevelles uh Mustangs, you name it, just a very eclectic collection across the board that was acquired by a gentleman who recently passed away and his family is liquidating the cars on earth . Etc. I don't think I can afford everything, but I will try to buy as many cars as I can.

What's happening? I don't even remember what Blazer is, about 450 cash. Jumpsuit deals, so this might be the

biggest

purchase I've ever made. We're here to see a giant collection of cars that has been amassed over the past two decades. And one of the family members died the rest. the family decided to get rid of the cars, it's a delicate situation when you get into it because there is a lot of emotion and feeling in these things so we have to deal with it with a delicate touch but there are some incredible cars according to the description of the photos that already I had, so we got up early and flew to Wisconsin.

Know? Wisconsin is known for the Cubs and Green Bay Packers cheeseheads and no one knows it. but let's go look at it and, you know, see if we can't buy something.

Back to the video okay damn dude and get into a bubble 61 jeez that's awesome there it is hey Richard how you doing? You must be Tony, I am, thanks for reaching out, what's up mate, how are you doing this, that's great Chris, nice to meet you. I don't know if you were expecting me to come, but he's a wizard and has an incredible amount of knowledge about old cars, plus I don't get into much trouble if he's around, but wow, man, that's a lot of cars. and ships and stuff, I don't know, man, I think you can have a lot of problems here, so we talked on the phone, but basically, this gentleman was right in this collection, give me the five minute or four and a half second speech.

I'm telling you the whole truth is that he is not just a car collector but he was a true Gearhead and a part of the hot rodding and street racing community when he was a kid and some of these cars he turned around and left Remembering their times when they used to walk up and down the boulevard, that's really cool. I'm finally getting to a point in life where I can do more or less the same thing. I just did it with a really special car that was built in Dallas called the Digger uh and we just got it back in our possession and uh so we're playing around but this is awesome I mean 61 ball top is really a 409 yeah it's the real deal 409, there's a Shelby here and there are some other real gems that I think you're going to find spectacular.

Looks like you have some Corvettes over there. Tri-five Corvettes. We have a couple of Shelbys. There is a 1970 Grand Sport stage one and a beautiful collection of reds. White and blue hemisphere. These are 426 cars, 426 and at the end there is a lightweight A990 from the factory. so in the A99 90 they only made like, I don't know, 80 or 100 of them and it was the first year of the 426, right, I think so, so what made it light? Because when you talk about Ford lightweights, they were like fiberglass front ends and these are metal, yeah, no, this was an acid bath, that's how they achieved their lightweight, as I understand it, and obviously they were removed some sound deadening materials, things like air conditioning, radio, this one has the rear seat removal, it's the start of the real thing.

You know, drag racing comes through dealerships. I guess wow, then the gentleman who owned all this. I know he passed away, um and um, but he was involved, you were telling me it was a charity, yeah, the car is healing children, he was one of the. founding members and what exactly that charity does: restore cars and sell them or not, ho

nest

ly, it started as a group of car collectors and Gearheads in the community who would go and do events to raise money for terminally ill children and then it branched out. So far we're not just raising money for that, they're also raising money for things like medical supplies for pediatric aides and ambulances and things that are just missing in Wisconsin.

You know, those things are amazing because I was a firefighter and a police officer before I was old enough to drink, so we go back to 30 something years ago when I was 18 19 years old. And I remember we used to talk about it because the stuff we had in the box in the back of the ambulance was the size of an adult, so you have a little kid with a neck problem or a head trauma or whatever. be. You have these giant foam blocks that are like three times the size of the kid's head and you're trying to secure them and uh.

That's nice, you know, I'm really upset that no one has done that before because it's definitely a necessity that needs to be there, yeah, details, the little details, little people need little medical equipment. I don't know if we will do it. I'm allowed to say little people, let's just say kids, kids, well, you know, I always call my kids the little ones, yeah, I don't know what PC is in that, but, you know, it's cool, we got some ships, we got some Chevelle, some Shelby, I know. You know me on early Fords, we have some early Fords for you.

I think you'll find a couple of gems. There's a Kong Head car here and a modern hot rod and it's all steel the way it should be right, um, well. I looked at the list, you and I talked about round numbers when we were looking at it, I guess if you know, hang out, give me a big Chris, a couple of hours to go through and look at everything, run a little bit. numbers and stuff take some pictures we'll definitely investigate then we'll see where we are if we can buy it all I'll definitely try it sounds like a cool fun guy I appreciate you coming ok thanks enjoy shopping Chris where did you go?

Oh there it is, listen man, what are you looking at? I was looking for this rap mode or the Impala l-78 last year, the Big Blocks in full size, okay, why don't we do something? which I can really understand in my mind, let's go to the front door, start from there with the Corvettes and then just work our way through the tri-fives to the hot rods here, the early Fords, and then deal with the uh, the giant gorillas in the room, the red, white and blue hemis, here we go, hey, you're pretty tall today. I'm wearing my high heels, this, yes, the 62 409 two-door, this is a bad day, except it's hot. rod, no, you know, a two-door Impalas, right, it's a 409, yeah, ready to rock and roll, over done, over restored, absolutely perfect, 409. four speed on the floor, this is the best restored car here , yeah, the Barstool, I'm not driving, no.

I don't know, he said everyone who ever rode this did it once and then put it away, but it's called Hoss fly, this is the same guy that made the Haas motorcycles, they made one of these or two of these, or I don't . I know, but I don't particularly like sitting in a small-block Chevy with the crown jewels so close to the fuel system that there are no crown jewels. It's like Fort Knox, it's empty, it's true, it's true, okay, now we have the coral and pink Chevy. 55 probably one of the most disgusting color combinations ever, but it's a nice car, this isn't pink, it's coral, this car doesn't hurt my feelings, man, I like this car.

What if he peed on you or kicked you? Then it would hurt your feelings. It's nice. I hurt my shin a little bit, yeah, but I mean it's a '55 base model, this one is great, but it's also a tough sell because you have to find someone who wants a proper Pontiac and a Bonneville and wants fuel injection, but it's red. It's very nice, I like it, this 57 Nomad is overly restored, ready to run with about 5,000 miles since restoration, yes, original 283, no oil filter, original engine. As good as it gets, this thing is beautiful, it's a perfect car, what's going on under the Same as above, friend, absolutely fine, so we have this 32 two-door sedan, it has a normal hood, it has no additional blinds, but it's an old school build with the 327 automatic and uh, i.

I would say you know they left the original interior, which is a little strange, but it's an all-steel car. Look at this, well it's just the old lacquer paint. This Sentry restorer comes with this 1954 trailer, all Ford 302 in the middle, which means. they upgraded the boat at some point this is as criss-cross as possible without being criss-cross I thought you were Chris Craft oh you're Chris Smith yeah yeah yeah so there's some extra fenders and stuff out there we gotta pay attention. to these things because I said you know these things and everything in the building, all of this was last known by uh, Tom's mother, uh, untitled for some reason, but basically I figure this is zero, but it's great and it's all together. and it is not rusted and is red on red and has never been restored.

I've actually never seen this Rambler model. We have a teal Ford uh Deluxe 40. This is a beautiful car. Improve street air conditioning. You know, that's in good taste. done, I like it, yeah, just a tastefully made car, nice and tidy, there's a 41 Plymouth station wagon back here. Woody, you know they're pretty careful, these cars usually go overseas or to California, San Francisco, with badges on the windows, go see what I do. I'm telling you this is not on the list, black 40 is not on the list, that's black 40, blue is uh yeah, black 40 is not blue, it's along with teal and again , I think it's just a tasteful street rod.

Daniel looks like it was built by the same person. I was going to say it's a very similar bill, yeah, exactly the 41 Ford here. Black Mariah has 24,000 original miles, twenty-four thousand, yes, twenty-four thousand original unrestored miles, but it's a 41 and 41 is just not super desirable, you know, that's UMO, you'll ask them, yeah, but, as far as As far as I'm concerned, we get into the interesting stuff, this is, you know, we have a Phantom 32, all stock, four cars in a row, so you know, it's not a V8 Fayette and then this would be a B model um, What about this?

Oh, still, this is all steel. Appears to be an original steel body. Heads are burning, which is crazy. It's like a vintage redo setup. He has been reinforced here to lead. It's not original, no, um, no, but it has original ish shocks and Juice brakes, it's a good car, I mean, it's still just a street rod and you'll teach me at this point, I'm out of this, Arden bosses are alright, uh, they're not absolutely unattainable, but they're cool, they're cool, you know, so we have a 34 with Kong heads at home, uh, yeah, but I think these are aftermarket Kong heads.

I'm too polished, yes, no. I think these are the originals and, uh, I don't know, but it's a 34 Roadster Real Deal, which is cool, and then you have a Ford 32 Coupe tri-wind, later, long block. Eddie Meyer adds a pretty good admission, this is serious. right point street rod no big deal I think you had one of these that look very similar. I have one right now well, no, we went to the Lone Star round. He gave me one of these to draw this boat guy, um, I don't know. This is not like this. I've spent time in Donzi.

I was hoping this is the smallest Donzi boat I have ever seen. Well, she has an outback small-block Chevy. I was expecting 454 twins or something like that. No. This one is small. It's as small as. a whistle, yes, this is a new episode, no one is going to publish this out there now, this is strange, since it says strange, as it says on the license plate, order to tow a fishing boat in the mountains of Colorado, yes, 70,000 original miles 327 V8 four speed another generator car unrestored car which is cool but it's still a four door man now it's still kind of cool but it's a four door and it doesn't have two inches to pull the boat I think you put the restorer behind it, you know, if anything, the paint on this car excites me more than the other things because it's original, yeah, it says mostly original paint in the description, um, this Cameo.

I've never had a cameo just because I've never really come across one.big, so maybe you need smaller blocks etc etc. super cool because everything is cool, uh, we have three 426 Hemi cars, we have a lot of Fords, we have a lot of Chevys, we have a Pontiac. I mean, you know, I just don't know what Daphne is going to say, so that's her problem, Daphne. find out how to pay for this
