Tommy convinced Roman to buy the ranch so he had a place to park all his classics.

Love it when Tommy goes into full salesman mode. “I mean it could be a great budget offroader…if you put a transmission in it. Do you need a 2nd gear?”

Classics has been kicking butt here lately. I look forward to these videos more than any since the volume of videos has increased. Tommy, Brendan, and Kase are the best suited for it too because they have the love for the old cars. Thanks guys for making this channel so enjoyable to watch.

Loving the 2 of you working on more used and "forgotten" cars. More character than most new cars anyway!

You can tell David has been around square body Chevys for a long time, he popped the hood like a pro knowing exactly where to hit it, I remember as a kid growing up with them trucks having to bump the hood everytime! For as price it's hard to put a number on it, best option is to put it on TFL bids with a reserve of what he has in it from the original purchase price of the truck and engine swap that way David would be guaranteed to at least get his money back, someone out there wants that truck and probably will pay a pretty penny for it!

Love your bumper stickers on the bug! The Nixon Now sticker would have never, ever have been found on any Beetle, but I saw a lot of Impeach Nixon stickers on Beetles all over the place.

DO NOT SELL THE SQUARE BODY!!! You’ll regret it David. Keep it. It’s so beautiful

I love these videos. Once a month we need this kind of fleet update mixed with videos upcoming, etc

I'm really digging what you've been doing with the Classics channel. As someone who'se been following TFL since 2019, this has become my favorite! Brendan is a great addition, as well!

$14k for a bondo bug? That’s nuts‼️

1973 Volvo 164E owner here. Thanks for saving a 240! Although that 240 is not my favorite Volvo. Preferer the round or small rectangular sealed beam headlight look.

As a Jurassic Park Jeep owner I fully think you should turn that Explorer into a JP Explorer.

Can we have a Colorado Jurassic Park car four wheeling trip?

This crew plus all the cool vehicles plus the ranch, what more is there to want on a KZread channel. Such a win.

Sad to see the ZR2 go, I had one of those 20+ years ago and absolutely loved it! One of the most unstoppable machines on the road back then.

There was a certain model of the 2nd gen Ford Explorer sport that was an absolute beast also. I think it was the one where the four-wheel drive selector said awd/4wd high/4wd low. It had Torsen differentials apparently. My buddy had a CJ7 quadratrac with Mickey Thompson's that couldn't do as well on our trails as that Explorer could on Goodyear Wrangler AT....

David, your truck today is worth at least $15k, probably more like $20k. I can't even say it would missed here as it isn't on camera enough to notice and you've done a couple videos of it.

I don't think I have ever seen a 4-door Explorer with a 5-speed manual, I have seen a handful of Explorer Sports with them but never a 4-door. The fact that that thing exists makes me sooooo happy! I'd love to own that. What a needle in a haystack it is!

The classics channel is KILLIN it! Keep up the great content gentleman!

As a fellow LS430 owner, I am saddened to hear of the loss of yours. I need those wheels btw 😅

Love these videos! All the crew on site made it extra cool. ❤

I owned a cooper S convertible first gen with the super charger. Wish I'd kept it. I know they are a bargain now but I have no room left in the stable! Great vid as always guys.

My Cherry 1996 Ford Aerostar XLT with the 3.0 v6 (previewed at the end of a TFL video on the white SAAB) just turned over 100k miles and is just unstoppable. Put a limited slip differential and Bilstein shocks on it. She's a keeper, for sure. Pulled the back seats and made a bed for camping.

David, much respect on your build but I suspect it is too mission specific to bring a big price. I believe you would be better served to keep it.

Man, I loved almost everyone one of those! Such a great vid! Love the new pole barn!

It has probably been mentioned before, but I am all in on a manual swap for that S10. I am also loving the manual Explorer as well. I had a bright red 1998 Sport with the 4.0 OHV and a 5 speed manual. It was my first SUV and my absolute favorite. New England rust ate that one, along with a bad head gasket. While I love my lifted Envoy, I still really miss that old Explorer! I took it off roading in WV and it was a great time.

You can get decent power out of that volvo all you need is a 940 turbo parts car grab the drive train and wiring with the computer and your set. Then just a $300 ipd turbo cam which is very easy to swap and a manual boost controller you could probably get 185hp out of it easily and that's just enough to wake that thing up its pretty light.

Hey Brenden... Nice R52. I've got an '05 Mini Cooper S 'vert with the JCW package ($5k option at the time) and the Sport Chrono package. 92k miles. Got it for $5k because it had an oil leak. It was just the crank sensor O-ring. Since I had to put it in "front service" mode, I did the water pump, belt, and a supercharger service at the same time.

I can vouch for the Firestone Firehawk Indy 500 tires. We have these on our G37 and Stinger GT and they have excellent grip, good road noise/comfort and they are very reasonably priced. Great review gentlemen!

The Jeep came from a local dealer I worked for as a mechanic near Toledo Ohio, it was called Ed Schmidt very cool

Try commissioning a local artist and give them a plug, have them do Jurassic Park bed liner paint job on the explorer and hope for the best

Looking forward to seeing the minis on the track. I didn't catch what year Brendan's was. Would love to see the 2 Porsches more. You're so close on the BMW just finish it man!!!! That is the car I've been looking forward to the most!!!!

I'm amazed that TFL with all your knowledge bought a VW for $14k with a ton of bondo! 1 that steering wheel besides being the wrong color is not correct for that year ! Should have put a 3 spoke wheel with holes and fome wrap around like in Dune Buggy's the engine only takes 15 mins tops to remove ! The Citroën is cool! They used one in James Bond "For Your Eyes Only" and had one roll down a hill and kept running! Had a 59 Fiat Bianchina that had a 2 cylinder in it Stil love your show!

Love the honesty and enthusiasm 😁

Always fun to watch old cars. The new stuff just isn't the same

Awesome cars all around. Those first cars, especially the German content, makes me drool.

I'd love to see some MORE OF DAVIDS truck collection and more on this here Cummins swapped gm

Yep, it's impressive how quickly the money drains away when you get into multiple fixer-upper projects at once. My neighbor did it, my friend did it, and a few of my coworkers do it. I feel like it'd be better to pick just one vehicle that you really like, and focus on fixing up that one, rather than trying to split all your time that you don't have between myriad broken vehicles that you can't afford to fix.

LOVE that 944!!

The Volvo, Peugeot, and Square Body...fantastic!

WOW the 2CV has still a german licence plate on the back the plate is from the Town of "Fuerth" its the town next to my home town - really funny to see that.

I usually don't like Tommy's manic yelling at the camera but really enjoyed this fleet update. Keep it up fan of the channel 👌

Shame about that 404. I was actually looking at getting one recently.

I had a 94 Explorer 4 dr blue on blue with a 5 sp loved it

Can’t wait for a tumbleweed update!!

i would give you a buck for it lol, but i would say with how clean and rare it is id say about 25-30 k maybe more. iv seen square bodies that have a lift and big tires go for that with a short box and a single cab and maybe a built motor.

You forgot all of the Eastern European ZAZ, Skoda, Trabant, Moskvitch, Syrenas, and Polski Fiat models, among many other European People's Cars...

JUST LOOKING AT THAT TRUCK AND KNOWING ITS THE LAST OF A DYING BREED , WITH SOLID AXLE FRONT AND REAR ENDS , AND THAT CUMMINS SWAP , ,DAVID IT IS PRICELESS

David’s Cummins GMC is actually a dream truck of mine.

Damn, that a lot of plywood. Expensive!

Sad to hear about selling the GMC! If that were in my garage, it would definitely be a keeper!

Tommy, on your stained seat, get "Tuff stuff". Sold at wally world in the auto section, like 2 bucks a can. It pulled grease stains out of my headliner when I fixed my sunroof. Wife used it to pull spaghetti sauce out of carpet once. Let it foam and soak and wife off

Funny, my 94 ZJ has a bad transmission right now too. I'm definitely fixing mine though. It's pristine otherwise.

David should never sell that square body. That can’t be replaced

Case looking fly with those glasses and those pants. He cool!!!

David I would like to hear and see more about the 1972 GMC Truck.

I always find it interesting that even though this is a classic channel their older vehicle is from the late 70's. I usually imagine classic from the 60s 50s and 40s. But i know those are way too expensive to buy and fix up for a smaller channel like this so i have to slow down my expectations. Also i do wish there was a few American Classic cars on the channel not just suvs or trucks. Also i dont share the same love for older mini or minis. Could do Budget Rally Volvo for cheap project maybe. Tommy why not part out the Cherokee with that nice of a interior prolly might make some money on it.

I don't know him but I know of him, and I see him driving his Citrins all the time. But here in Atlanta, there's a guy who collects those cars. So far I've only seen three of his cars.

Very interesting, Tommy. So you know, the 2CV will go up as far as 75 mph. Check out Hubnut for his trip to Europe in Ellie, his 2CV.

I like the idea of going the off-road/rally route with the Volvo. Since you paid $500, it would be perfect for competing in the Gambler 500

I’d love to see you get a 1st gen 4Runner for the classics channel. 86-89. 22re. Sad you can’t turn that into a m5

Love the 944 and the “m5” - how much do you want for the car + re-done engine parts? :D

Tommy lol the stain on the seat lol grandpa always called them pecker tracks 🤫

Volvo 240 performance upgrades: sway bars, better springs, shocks, and all the bushings. Then find a 5mt (if it doesn't have it) and a turbo (if you have the money)

The ZR2 blazer was soo much better than that Exploader.

The needed car is a Fiat 500.

Run the course with your zj!!

You guys are what we call "car poor": imagine Colorado registration time is painful.

How I wish BMW still made cars like that E32 535i Tommy! 3300lb of fun and quality, quality, quality! I sold mine with 300k and I should have kept it!

The only way to get transmissions for those blazers on the cheap is taking it out of another cheap crashed blazer, but if you have to pay someone to do it, it doesn't make sense. Out of my two bravadas I put together one that was pretty nice for 1100$ total. But I did all the work.

$38,000 is absolutely the max but start at $20k

Wait, $14,000 for a 71 super beetle!? I’ve never heard someone talk about the buying a classic VW bug for $14,000 and say things like, needs motor work, brake work, it’s missing this, it overheats, and of yea you could float the Titanic with the amount of Bondo that’s in this car. 🤦‍♂️ Hope you at least got dinner from the seller afterwards.

Does Colorado have a Fleet Permission system? Here in Georgia you can apply for a "Fleet Perm" and you don't have to re-register your car every year. Of course, its only for fleets.

Would love to see more on the series 2, I have a series 3. Always starts, just chugs along.

love luv David !!

The exploder is sweet!! I’d daily that bad boy!!

I'm super sad I had the change to buy a w8 Passat wagon with 4 motion only reason I didn't it was automatic I love the b5 Passats

Tommy's collection is great but I feel way old knowing how much he paid for the vw and 2cv like a lot of the car market it seems about 10k high for the age/rust/depreciation that would have been on there pre covid. That LS should be resurrected or donored somehow. That OBS work truck could go for crazy money at Barrett Jackson if you find the right ranchers. Wish I lived closer so I could keep your Porsches warmed up for you.

One thing is clear, me, and Many more, miss a Suzuki samurai there

They should call this channel TFL moneypit channel.

Massive fleet I like minis but those Europe cars are just so expensive also in up keep. I reckon Tommy you fix Jeep, turn In overland rig on budget n with Chase Ram truck go off roading, for few thousand does it beat buying new off road rigs?

The demise of the Lexus LS makes me sad. those are such great cars! Love that 1 4x4 with the Cummins. I am guessing that trucks goes for about $20,000....I could be lite on that! swapping a cummins into that makes the truck more of a Frankenstien, but that is a highly revered engine.

oh that 3500 is a manual too.... its bad ass

I'd say the squarebody is worth $18,000-$20,000. It is rare and in great condition.

How do i get to hang out at the personal cars and coffee meet that is the Mica Ranch? Because what a collection!

"Ew why do you own 8 cars?" "Because I can't afford to own 9 right now..."

Even though the XJ's are so much more crude/spartan than the cherokee grand cherokeeswhy are they so much better? I still have my 97 xj sport with 252k on it and i just plan on keeping it! That Aisan Warner trans is great!

I have always wanted a 1st gen explorer and turn it into a JP tour vehicle. I am going to buy one and start my build in May 2023. Y’all should sell the M5 project and build this!!!

David's truck 🚚 is the best. To bad for the Lexus.

I still want that 2CV. I was shocked at the price TFL had to pay for it. I remember when a fully sorted one was a mere $5k.

A gentle scold about ethics. If you want a specific BMW M5 don't fake one up from a common car. Rare, special cars are valuable because they are rare. The huge expense and strain you have wasted on the Bimmer, only to give up, kinda serves you right.

David I’m guessing in the current market your old truck would bring 16-22k depending on if you get 2 guys who have to have it.

That truck is beautiful would love to see you guys drive it up here to Alberta and let me buy it lol

The car ninja from hoovies garage says that other than certain BMW models, the cars that he hates to work on the most are the BMW generation Minis. He says he makes the most money working on them, because their parts are basically BMW parts that are very expensive, but working on them is a pain in the ass.

What happened to the old 1960s/1970s Land Cruiser? That was a cool truck!

Tommy you've come a long way since the high boy.

You could maybe squeeze a little more horsepower from the volvo but it's all about power to weight so the other route to make it faster is to weight reduce it as much as you can! Goodbye doors, backseat, spare tire, trunk hood 😆

Lot of those cars tho can bring relief to a lot of people that just need transportation, easy to fix and maintain tho..long as it runs, the little stuff can be ignored. I LOVE CHEAP CARS!

David's crew cab is nice.
