I learned that when I did that Boss Bronco find when I first started. A viewer commented they did not want to see a "talking head." I read every comment to learn what people want to see.

Well I am surely glad Jerry came along on youtube . A shiny car sitting at a show is just that . Sitting there amongst the thousands of shiny cars that go to shows... Now the patena cars are showing up . Thee cars rolled off the line many many years ago just like humans being born and then they went through life just as humans do . But they cannot speak to tell you about that so in most cases its simply forgotten. Most people that find these cars are just in a hurry to get the deal done and get the car in possession and they dont really care about the rest. If that chain is broken you may never piece it back together again honestly.. I have a few of these cars . some of them I know their entire lifes story up until me owning them. One of them is a complete mystery altho when I got it the story was much like the GT500 Jerry just got. So its got a whole story with me going back 30 years now. But I know nothing of how it got where it got and why , I never will . I attempted to piece it together with records and phone calls but the one owner prior to me is gone , never to return.. Wife , same.... My point is that I get that the cars have value these days and everyone is digging them out making deals fixing and selling and what have you. Maybe I am a wierdo or maybe I have just seen too many of these cars over the years to get excited about seeing another one all shined up sitting ona trailer. The true value in my mind of these cars is what they have seen since birth. Where have they sat . How many folks loved them and cared for them , or didnt... Did they attend races ? Did they carry soon to be mothers to the hospital ? Every single time I look at one of these old rusting hulks thats what im thinking.. The hours they have spent on this earth being the focus of someones attention leads to so many stories we just wont know about most of these old girls... I think we will all see a shift in the paradigm over to this as a sales tool . There are jsut so many cars being draggged out and restored that they all blurr together after a time. Special options are nice I guess , but I put more value on special stories..... Secretariat would have just been a big red horse among many other big red horses if someone didnt know the story he carried with him...

Porsche 911's ARE NOT BEAUITIFUL! / I know that there are drivers that love them, but they are like a snail in my eyes- It started out ugly, then they never CHANGED THEM! Do you think Carrol Shelby loved the small block ,mindset the best?

I know what you mean. I once thought the same thing, that 911's were ugly. At a Chevrolet long lead press preview in the 1980s I talked to, of all people, Vince Piggins, father of the Camaro Z/28, and former Hudson race car engineer for their NASCAR program. He told me the Porsche 911's 6-cylinder engine was a boxer design, meaning the pistons were horizontally opposed and that helped damp out vibration in the rotating crankshaft. A V8 design was inherently unbalanced requiring a crankshaft with large counterweights to smooth out rotation. The placement of the engine behind the rear axle was a safety feature with good and bad consequences. The major advantage was safety. Contemplating these features and more I began to appreciate the aesthetics of the 911 and began to see a beauty in the design. This did not mean I stopped liking the long hood, short rear deck cars with front-engined V8's. I knew Carroll Shelby for 30 years. He always admitted he wasn't an automotive engineer. He was a natural behind the wheel and liked to race cars. So, he liked what was the fastest on the track. He didn't care small block or big block. He was even working on an electric Cobra in his last few years. I took pictures of that car, but did not publish them because he said not yet. And see, that's the racer mentality. They wanted whatever car went fastest, irrespective of the power plant. They just wanted to win, and Carroll was like that.

@@thewriter2549Thx for the reply-- When I street race, well I am not willing to lose my license over it. This may be why I am so happy with my lowly 320 HP 07 Shelby GT- I AM NOT INTERESTED WITH A CAR THAT STARTS winding up at 6k, when I am shifting there , already having received "All that the 4.6 three valve has in 2nd and at 85 mph in 3rd. ENOUGH!! . In that 30 mph - 85 (where i am quitting) CS was smart enougth putting a 3.55 rear end, low RPM HP and Torque machine. I feel as though in that niche I can hang with virtually anything.. AND THE SOUND!! the gurgling the subtle backfiring- I understand WHY it has a fake AC hood scoop, the 'powered by Ford" pieces, but honestly (I am 67) when I saw that solid Chromed lil Hurst shifter , with a wimbledon white cue-ball , I was 17 again, and said " Take it"! I understand your appreciating the function of the 911, but there is going to be no marriage with out "she is a great girl and WOW!! haha. Cars are so special as "car talk" is INNOCENT, Wholesome, and every car loved is equal. I tell myself that one of the secrets to life is to have the best that you like , One wife, one God, one home- If I were Jay Leno i think I would NOT BE HAPPIER! I also hate "all you can eat" places. When one of the Shelby guys pulled up in the black 07 Shelby GT was great! Finally, Ford has done a noble job re-starting the Shelby's as one senses they loved the 60's models and wanted to be true to their look and spirit. Finally, I have NEVER had the radio on.Dg
