Mr. Rudy Klines Family are reaping the rewards of all is love and efforts, well done. Just the ability to be at the auction to simply SEE these would be a thrill.
Luigi Chinetti was an racecar driver for Ferrari in Italy. He then moved to Connecticut and founded the NART (Ferrari North American Race Team). He was also the original importer of Ferrari's to the US.
He used to be married to Mamie McLean Gregory, who was the first woman to race in the Daytona 500. Her father owned the Hope diamond before it was sold to Harry Winston.
I was shocked Hoovie was unaware of Chinetti!! First guy to win LeMan in a Ferrari and the guy who literally controlled the spigot on who got Ferraris in the United States for 30 years starting in the early 50's. Sponsored the CB legendary North American Racing Team (NART) cars. A true legend.
There is a salvage yard owner near me that has well over 300 corvettes in a giant steel building, I sold him a near perfect numbers matching 76 that was a frame up resto with the 450hp heads cam package, along with the stock stuff. 31k original miles, he drove it there and parked it. He has everything from a split window to a newer zr1, all justpickled and parked.
Ever hear about the "Mustang Graveyard" in RhodeIsland? There's 5 or 6 429 Mustangs, all bright Grabber blue, sitting in the woods being reclaimed by nature.
Yes April is a gorgeous girl, Tyler really knows what it's all about, totally enjoy the show,keep up the excellent work cheeers guys from Australia 🇦🇺 😀 👏 🙌 😊
Rudi and his one-time business partner, by the nane of Dieter (they were both from Germany), at one point, had about a thousand cars in various states. Their "parts runner" was a shortened, split-window VW pickup, with a 911 engine and gearbox! They were a couple of characters. Btw, the family did sell off a LOT of cars since Rudi passed away: a few years back, they had several Lamborghini Espadas on the L.A. Craigslist. He also had several alloy-bodied 300SL's.
Two comments. According to Wikipedia, the Mercedes 500K ran 160 Kph (100 mph), still crazy speed for that car. The article in RM says the owner, Rudolf Caracciola, drove a W125 to the 268 mph (447 kph) record. See the reply below.
Rudolf Caracciola's record of 432.7 km/h (268.9 mph) over the flying kilometre on 28 January 1938, remained the fastest ever officially timed speed on a public road until broken on 5 November 2017 by Koenigsegg in an Agera RS driven by Niklas Lilja, achieving 447.2 km/h (277.9 mph) on a closed highway in Nevada.[2] It also was the fastest speed ever recorded in Germany until Rico Anthes bested it with a Top Fuel Dragster on the Hockenheimring drag strip.
In the early-mid 90's I lived on Coronado Island, CA. Across the alley was a guy I only remember as "Mr. Mercedes," he had 2 300 SL's (a gullwing and a 'vert) Sunday drivers & a couple late 80's daily drivers. When we lived there he had just finished building a new fireproof garage for the SL's at the insistence of his insurance company (single door, lift & the roadster on top, iirc). The cars themselves had no anti-theft measures, which my dad once asked him about; "these are rare enough that Mercedes knows where each one is and who owns it." (for sure butchered his quote but it's been a while & that's the gist). All that to say, you're probably right about the lack of remaining 'barn find' SL's. Fun fact: one of the SL's was used by Mercedes in an ad introducing the new-for-then r129.
That yard reminds me of Darnell's garage in Christine. Luigi Cinetti (? Spelling) was the man responsible for importing and bringing Ferarri to America. I believe he also founded Ferarri N.A.R.T., for North American Racing Team. Big in the family.
My friend’s dad had a black Mercedes Gull Wing Coupe for sale in 1972. It was perfect with 14,000 miles, red leather interior. It was offered to me for $5000. I had just graduated from High School and didn’t have that kind of money…next to the Mercedes was a 1952 Allard J2 roadster, Cadillac powered. Also black/ red. This man had good taste in the Classics.
Good Morning.. You Tube fans of April's Garage! Eye opening, better than a cup of java. Some pretty cool cars in this collection of junkyard specials. Pricey too. Gonna take some big bucks to bring some of those cars back - to Pebble Beach concourse level. It is only original once. And.. who wouldn't like to see April & Hoovie do a weekend in the California sun, in a top-down convertible , traveling the sun filled roads, wind whipping through April's hair... smile on her face, as Hoovie hits the gas, then... doing a review of what is special to them at Pebble Beach? Get's my vote.
what's interesting is that he was willing to sell parts to those that needed it, but there was no way he'd let customers come to his junkyard and pick parts freely (as mentioned by Top Gear), which is why his collection was so shrouded in mystery
In 1976, I had the opportunity to inspect a very nice red Mercedes Gullwing in Monterey California. The price of the car was $25,000. So, I think that the owner of the alloy-bodied Gullwing got a good deal purchasing his car for only $5,000 more. By comparison, a nice convertible/roadster Mercedes from the 1960's at that time cost around $10-15,000.
Erwin Rommel The Desert Fox was shot going back to Germany for his wifes birthday, was in a Horche.He was shot by an allied fighter before the Battle of the Buldge.
That was what the Nazi party told the people about his death. He was actually forced by the nazis to commit suicide for his knowledge about the assasination attempt on Hitler prior to the attempt. The truth was only revealed at the Nuremberg trial.
Rommel was forced to commit suicide by Hitler because it couldn't be ruled out that he had knowledge about the assassination attempt on Hitler. The nazis invented the allied fighter attack story because Rommel was so immensely popular with the German people.
If it was Luigi Chinetti, he was Ferrari North American Racing Team. He did twelve 24 Hours of Le Mans, he fielded privateer Ferrari F1 teams, he owned the Ferrari that finished third in the 1,2,3 finish at the 24 Hours of Daytona in 1967. He was friends with Wayne Carrini of Chasing Classic Cars.
Just one guy talking here but maybe you should use the awesome wall of cars as a backdrop instead of a white wall, especially since it's a car show. Just saying maybe I'm wrong.
Wonderful how the auction was skillfully advertised over social media, all sorts of influencers visited these remnants in the shrine of Rudi's making prior to the auction.
Love these two wonderful people. 3:128:38 The market for Miura's has recently changed with the first version or iteration, before they reinforced the frame, rising in price above later iterations. That is likely one reason this beat-up example(s) sold for over $600k.
If your a Billionaire with taste and own a mint condition Mercedes Gullwing then parking a ratty looking one of one next to it in your fantastic beautifully lit garage must surely be the ultimate flex.
I remember going to a yard like that back in the 90s when I was "The Airman with a full size pickup" in the shop at Edwards. Nothing but German cars. Old German guy ran the place. We were hunting for Porsche parts and wound up in Watts! The rack of 911s looks familiar.
I’m a soung engineer and I have never had more mixed feelings about a video. I mean, the rule that the lavalier mic goes to the center of the collar of the shirt was invented for cases like it’s with Hoovie’s, but can be deviated from in extreme cases… The goal is to have the minimal distance between mouth and capsule. If showing cleavage is preferred (kudos btw), use some non-rattling necklace to attach it to or put the mic to the ear. (See Point Source Audio’s Embrace mic for reference)
I'm really starting to warm up to April. She's learning about cars from Hoovie and his peers and really starting to catch on. Bravo. A beautiful woman that knows cars is beyond sexy.
My goodness, April is an absolutely gorgeous woman (respectfully). Very attractive person professionally, and she seems to have a lot of “class” and a funny sense of humor….Good for you Tyler…
April's Garage notification squad!
We know why you here...😂😂😂
guess you didn't get that coveted miura
Did you get anything there?
Tavarish…watched your comprehensive video on the pre auction walkthrough…did you get the Miura???
Oh dude when is the P1 video coming?
You might think Hoovie likes driving but I assure you that he likes motorboating more.
I love the way Hoovie grieves a broken heart , no drinking himself numb , no bar fights or DUIs .just April and a new channel.

The Blue 356 Porsche bought top dollar because it was completely intact, in original colour and had less than 700 miles on the odometer.
I wonder if Seinfeld bought that one?
Wow, that's incredible.
The 356C, made top dollar because the convertible are rarer than the hard top type A.
I really enjoy watching the two of you & Hoovie also.
The auction company who organized the sale must have done an amazing job. Crazy prices when you consider what needs to be spent on the restorations.
Just imagine how much the auction house made on the sale of these things.
People who buy these cars don't care about money.
@@alastairwinner its just rich people doing rich people things. It's kinda like art mostly tax write offs and money laundaring.

Looking forward to the Euro-Asian Bob Auction of 2072, featuring half a dozen VW Rabbits and a bunch of JDM gold.
I hope April hosts a show about that too.

If it's April's garage, not only should she introduce the episode, April should sign off as well.
Please upvote this. I agree. April should actually be the one to end the show, even if they do leave in a little banter, like they have done before.
Agreed, but this ep was so up his alley, and he was so excited.
If it’s April’s Garage she should be leading the show entirely. I bet that won’t be happening anytime soon.
Filmed in HOOVIES GARAGE.
I would park in her garage!!
You 2 have great chemistry, watching April smile while she watches Tyler excitedly describe the salvage yard made my day. 🙏🙏👍👍
Thanks for covering this, I was wondering what the outcome was going to be.
I love the production value of proper microphone placement.. I just got the chills too!
Really enjoy you guys!
Beautiful Hoovie’s Garage 3.0. What a gorgeous looking building!
If you invested $18k in the S&P500 in 1978, you would have almost $2M today.

Such an insane collection just sitting there. Unbelievable!
The 1972 Lamborghini Miura was my first knowledge of a super car. I found out about it in 1979, it was my dream car for many years.
I think those cars reaching those prices, is not only because they're rare, but also because people knowingly buy a story along with the car.
April, I really like your information and content, please keep up with your podcast 🙂.
P is for posteriore meaning the engine is in the back. Gandini designed the Miura

Just one guy talking here but maybe you should use the awesome wall of cars as a backdrop instead of a white wall, especially since it's a car show. Just saying maybe I'm wrong.
Walls need art work, photos, banners, etc
