That paintjob and misalignment on the Maybach is absolutely horrendous. I tend to be positive in the comment section and not criticize based on a video. Unavoidable this time. Would not pay a single dime for this job, sorry to whoever did this - a horse with hoves could do a better job in a garage.
If you know this channel, you know everything comes with an extra side of shit sauce, he probably asked them to do it that way so he could tell people how dumb he was for painting a Maybach at Maaco.......
MAACO is a production shop. The need to get the car out the door as fast as possible and that is what they did. This is what should have been expected on their bodywork. I don't think Tyler cares so much about a Copart Maybach that he has very little money into.
TBH, there's body shops that specialize in high-end cars, and part of the reason is because the disassembly/reassembly, plus customer expectations, are so much higher. You can never 100% erase most accidents from a vehicle...unless you get lucky and just dent something that can be fixed 100% by a bolt on panel replacement and the shop can dead on match the paint and there's no chassis bend to fix!
Ill admit maaco did a pretty good job on your other vehicles but the quality of that maybach paintwork is rough especially around the edge of the back door panel
Who needs a radio when you have the sweet music of a big block, replacing the caliper is so simple, even bleeding it is not hard to do by yourself, all the best and good luck with it, Rick
A lot of the previous videos have also shown their imperfections. Unacceptable imo, you either skip the job or ask for more money if it needs more hours to reach the final result.
I have a 66 - 427 and you MUST have the factory side pipes! Its how the "Internal Combustion Gods" intended. The early Ferrari V12's "on song" and the Corvette 427 BB with side pipes make the best engine sounds of all time.
My Stepdad just sold his. It was a driver but all matching. If your numbers are righteous and even needing some paint correction, that car is worth around 100K.
Yes factory side pipes on a C2 is a must. Both the small block and big block cars sound amazing with them. The 427s though with the side pipes shake the ground, lol. Nothing beats the sound!
Having it think the trunk is open may be causing his electrical problems too. Just saying, if the computer thinks the trunk is open, it doesn't want you to drive it.
Paying customers are paying customers. Tyler is the LAST guy that he has to come after for a bill. Besides, have you noticed how big his shop has gotten since the first Hoovie videos? The Wiz is doing just fine. He is also now making a lot more videos himself. Tyler and his friends have quite the income coming in from the TH-cam efforts. However, the humility and humor of Tyler is pretty incomparable considering the car subjects in the videos.
The minute he drove away to gohome , the Wizard was sitting at his desk swinging on his chair and lightly tapping his desk with a pencil whilst chatting to Mrs wizard on the phone..."i bet you it will be back within a week ".....
unless he changed the cooling system and added a larger fan or two, that engine will blow up within 6 months...focus group of one with the bills to show for it.
This is my dads absolute dream car, ever since I can remember he has talked about the 66 corvette sting ray of his dreams, being that I’m almost done with college he says he’s close to getting his, he keeps calling it project 66 he was born in 66 and daily we talk about 66 corvettes, love the videos keep up the good work man
One of my dream cars, 22 years military, in my travels I have seen a few, never been able to own one. 55 chevy 2 door and that 64-66 corvette. Love those cars...Lucky you for sure..😁
I'm with you on the '55. My younger brother had a '55 sedan delivery, my oldest had a '55 2-door post. I was the lowest on the list, briefly owning a '56 4-door.
Dear Hooptie. When I was around 10 or 11 yrs old I was able to witness a brand new 65 0r 66 Corvette that looked just like your 66. I was in awe !!!!! First time I ever saw a Stingray. At first I thought is was so strange but it didn't take long to fall in love. What a memory !!!!!!
Hoovie, with respect to the radio, I keep all my classics with their original radio, but convert them to Aurora AM FM Bluetooth internals. There are several people that offer this service in the US. Classic looks with modern tuners and streaming.
Its awesome to see it stay as original as it can be! while a restoration is cool, its like it has its story taken away from it in most cases. This will just live on and have the character of a car we all wish we could have!
Ive restored a few to NCRS specs and recently bought a 65 that didnt have the original motor. So I modernized everything. Trans, suspension, brakes, wheels, guages, etc. So liberating to do what you like and actually make it so enjoyable to drive. I was nervous if it be worth it. It was more than worth it. Good luck with yours Hoovie!!!!
You are aware of an Italian company by the name of Lamborghini? Totally kidding, I 100 percent agree an 'almost' numbers matching Vette is pretty sweet
@@ryanwollum6744 I'm pretty sure the entire drive train is not original, so I don't know that anybody would consider this an "almost numbers matching" car. In any case, for hard-core collectors that care about such things, it either is or is not numbers matching, and since this car has a 5-speed manual gearbox, it definitely is not.
The amount of I Don't Give a Fuck that went into that paint job is astounding. Why would someone who owns a Fiesta put up with a paint job like that let alone someone who owns a Mibach? They knew it was going to be on camera too. The person who did the job, his boss, and whoever last saw it leave the shop should be fired. This makes Macco look horrible.
@@yohojones Yes it's very strange. Maybe Macco's business model doesn't allow keeping experienced quality painters and instead pays minimum wage to a rotating army of people who are not interested in cars
I h'ad two friends back in the 60's that had '66 427/390hp Corvettes. I got to drive them both several times. The sound was amazing, but what was most noticeable to drivers was the abundance of torque for the relatively lightweight car. These cars were out of my price range, but I will never forget the experience of driving them. It made me a lifelong Corvette fan, and I ultimately owned four Corvettes, starting with a 1974. You have a beautiful car there!
I really hope you keep this one now. This is one of the most beautiful cars you ever had, all of the subs are definitely jealous. Thanks for giving us an owners perspective to this weapon❤️
@@machtschnell7452 The C1 was a sports car though. It was intended to compete with the flood of English sports cars (MGA, Austin-Healey 3000, etc.) that were taking up too much of the sales chart for GM not to react.

Although you are correct, many of the parts are in fact Chrysler parts, as AMC didn't have its own unique suppliers. My dad had a very similar Grand Wagoneer of that era, and it was a mashup of GM, Chrysler, and AMC bits - a true parts bin special.

Right??? I can't believe the amount of nose pickers on Hoovie's and Wizard's channels that tell them to "LS swap it". Wizard actually had one guy tell him to LS swap that Ferrari 308! Good grief. The LS has it's place, but not in a classic sports/muscle car (or a Ferrari). lol
@@ElliottAlvis Just hope the Highway Patrol / State Troopers don't decide to have a word with you about crossing those double (quadruple?) yellow lines. ;-)
That Corvette is worth every penny you put into it. This is my dream car in the perfect shade of blue. It will do nothing but appreciate from here so hold on to it and enjoy.
That Corvette & the Mustang are the two best cars you own IMO! I care nothing for any of the supercars or luxury cars or other oddball cars, those are the two I'd like to have the most!
And if he floods the Wizard with more cars than he can fix, he probably doesn't get charged for storage. Gotta admit though, Hoovies cars aren't really hard to break! Lol! (OK, maybe not the 'unwanted' Merc.)
OMG, my wife and I BOUGHT a 64 Corvair and took it to our local mechanic to work on while our garage was being rebuilt. They NEVER charged storage while they worked on it. A YEAR and with the work they did on it the total was under $1500.00.
i also love the shape of the classic interior GM rearview mirror (which i believe started in 1961 or 1962). It's just so aesthetically pleasing, that shape. it's almost jewel-like.
Lol, when he said "fifty thousand dollars", my stupid sleeping brain was "fifteen thousand dollars", and for just a second my half-asleep brain had a moment of me owning one of the most beautiful cars ever built. It was a glorious second or two in my mind..
When I was a kid I really fell in love with the 60s vettes. My great uncle had a split window which will always be my favorite but I think Hoovie's is the best color that isnt red.
@@Bristol57 Nobody is talking about the dollar value or whether or not you could sell it for multiple vettes. That much is obvious. They mean if it's one or the other to just own. If you have the money to get a countach but instead bought this vette, wouldn't you save the money anyway? 🤔
@@Bristol57 or you can just buy the vette and save money and not have the hastle of trying to sell a lambo most people cant afford to buy or fix while the other guy in the vette is enjoying life and saved money and has a car that's worth money and going up in value and you see less of them on the road I'm with the vette guy
Great on road film footage, we need more of this. You should also start doing (if you're not already) professional static photo shoots of all your cars!
Tyler, this sounds sweet and strong, just what all of us want in a Vette. I'm really glad to see this becoming a nice car again. Looking forward to see what tires you'll decide on. I'd adjust the hood before it gets chipped on the leading edge. Be sure to save that Muncie Rock Crusher this car came with. The next owner is going to want that.
Keep it forever please. As a kid that was my poster car, but instead of a poster I had a die cast model in the same color. Hands down my favorite corvette next to a c6 zr1. Congrats 👍🏼
@@JackAgainski fair, but they did something right. They made the brand work for decades on hand me down parts from the bug 3. Chrysler almost bankrupted Jeep
I built a 390hp 427 Rat for my 66 Chevelle 2 dr sedan. Haven't driven much because of the brakes and front suspension are shot. These engines are very strong and fun to drive. Maybe I'll find time soon to rebuild the suspension and brakes. I have the parts but work demands have kept me from working on it.
6:18 can't get whip-lash with those seats, you can get whip-lower-back though! if that doesn't get you the lap belt will finish you off. This is why people were better drivers back in the day... we had to be, additionally the ones that weren't were Darwin'ed out of the driver pool!

Maybe he's not paid the bill yet, and he did say that they were going to put things right.
That is actually crazy how bad that is for what the car is... and ya who signed off on this lol

If MAACO lets that out the door as "good to go" it's pretty scary to think of all the other corners they cut
Well every maaco is different, so you kinda get what you get depending on where you go
Especially on a Maybach. And especially on a car they knew would be plastered on the internet showcasing their body and paint work.
MAACO is a production shop. The need to get the car out the door as fast as possible and that is what they did. This is what should have been expected on their bodywork. I don't think Tyler cares so much about a Copart Maybach that he has very little money into.

I'm shocked Car Wizard has time to do anyone else's cars with all of Hoovie's projects.
That's why Wizard has been hiring more help.

That Corvette is worth every penny you put into it. This is my dream car in the perfect shade of blue. It will do nothing but appreciate from here so hold on to it and enjoy.
Owning an Italian motorcycle, these videos make me feel like I'm no alone in my pain and struggles. haha
That Corvette & the Mustang are the two best cars you own IMO!
I care nothing for any of the supercars or luxury cars or other oddball cars, those are the two I'd like to have the most!
I am convinced that Tyler purposely breaks his cars so he can keep them at the Wizard’s shop because he has no more storage room😂
😂😂
And if he floods the Wizard with more cars than he can fix, he probably doesn't get charged for storage.
Gotta admit though, Hoovies cars aren't really hard to break! Lol! (OK, maybe not the 'unwanted' Merc.)
why do you think the Wizard just purchased the next door lot to his workshop?
OMG, my wife and I BOUGHT a 64 Corvair and took it to our local mechanic to work on while our garage was being rebuilt. They NEVER charged storage while they worked on it. A YEAR and with the work they did on it the total was under $1500.00.
Well done. From what I hear Chevrolet made a huge stride in drivability with the C2. This is probably in my top 5 favorites on your channel.
Uh oh, looks like Elliot's Volvo is blowing some blue smoke..
This C2 is by far my absolute favorite car that you own!!! Definitely worth every penny that you have spent!!!!!!
The smoking Volvo at the end😂
I think that's Elliott Alvis, another Wichita car TH-camr...
Yeah the drive-by shots were taken from the Volvo. I guess the PCV system could use some TLC!
“I SMOKED that old Corvette!” Haha!
i also love the shape of the classic interior GM rearview mirror (which i believe started in 1961 or 1962). It's just so aesthetically pleasing, that shape. it's almost jewel-like.
Lol, when he said "fifty thousand dollars", my stupid sleeping brain was "fifteen thousand dollars", and for just a second my half-asleep brain had a moment of me owning one of the most beautiful cars ever built. It was a glorious second or two in my mind..
When he said “I have to break in this new engine”...
on a 60s corvette 😫💦🍆
When I was a kid I really fell in love with the 60s vettes. My great uncle had a split window which will always be my favorite but I think Hoovie's is the best color that isnt red.
I'd definitely take this vette over a lambo.
All DAY! 👐
They’re beautiful
Lmao
@@Bristol57 Nobody is talking about the dollar value or whether or not you could sell it for multiple vettes. That much is obvious. They mean if it's one or the other to just own. If you have the money to get a countach but instead bought this vette, wouldn't you save the money anyway? 🤔
@@Bristol57 or you can just buy the vette and save money and not have the hastle of trying to sell a lambo most people cant afford to buy or fix while the other guy in the vette is enjoying life and saved money and has a car that's worth money and going up in value and you see less of them on the road I'm with the vette guy
Great on road film footage, we need more of this. You should also start doing (if you're not already) professional static photo shoots of all your cars!
Says Hovie of all his 30 odd cars, "This one is something special".
Tyler, this sounds sweet and strong, just what all of us want in a Vette. I'm really glad to see this becoming a nice car again. Looking forward to see what tires you'll decide on. I'd adjust the hood before it gets chipped on the leading edge. Be sure to save that Muncie Rock Crusher this car came with. The next owner is going to want that.
I think it's the best car in yo fleet. Add vintage AC and you will too
Unless it's an original option, aftermarket "vintage" AC is pretty bad.
Keep it forever please. As a kid that was my poster car, but instead of a poster I had a die cast model in the same color. Hands down my favorite corvette next to a c6 zr1. Congrats 👍🏼
Hoovie - "I just put a new engine in!"
Also Hoovie - "It's original!"
Finally pricing! Now the perfection of your Chanel is coming through loud and clear!
If on the radio the Maybach logo appears but then the radio quits, you almost certainly have a break in the fibre optic MOST loop.
The lights in your garage destroy the beauty of the blue. Outside it's glorious. Inside it's dowdy.
4:08 84 Wagoneers were still AMC.
That's even worse....
@@JackAgainski fair, but they did something right. They made the brand work for decades on hand me down parts from the bug 3. Chrysler almost bankrupted Jeep
i think you are single handedly keeping the car wizard in business!
I built a 390hp 427 Rat for my 66 Chevelle 2 dr sedan. Haven't driven much because of the brakes and front suspension are shot. These engines are very strong and fun to drive. Maybe I'll find time soon to rebuild the suspension and brakes. I have the parts but work demands have kept me from working on it.
Where does the wizzzerd get the time a day to do all this and make videos! Wizard is already working on the magnum Ferrari!
I think Hoovie keeps the wizard busy with all of his cars alone.
Junior Mint & Magic Mike take over alot of the projects I've noticed.
It's not a Magnum Ferrari. That was a GTS, This one is a GTB.
Wizard has had the car for a month or two.
...the hustle don't sleep...
My favorite body style Vette in one of my favorite Vette colors. Great job!
6:18 can't get whip-lash with those seats, you can get whip-lower-back though! if that doesn't get you the lap belt will finish you off. This is why people were better drivers back in the day... we had to be, additionally the ones that weren't were Darwin'ed out of the driver pool!
To be fair, those cars used to be much slower than the current ones and people did drive them slower and more carefully because of fear factor.
@Lassi Kinnunen 81 I can't argue with the Thai example without any personal experience there but I see it more like having no safety harness on grand canyon tightropes, everyone left has great balance...
@@Psych0technic also a LOOOT LESS cars on the roads back then!
Singlehandedly keeping the wizard in business!
I couldn't imagine being a guy at Maaco and being like "wow I get to hack a $100,000 car today"
That corvette is just beautiful! Without a doubt top of my lottery win car shopping list. It's nearly as old as me but much better looking.
You don’t need a radio just listen to the sound of that car run that music
Amadeus Mozart couldn’t improve that engine
Beautiful corvette, glad you put the correct engine in the car, it is my favorite ride in the fleet. God bless.
Definitely my favorite "hooptie" at this point.
That thing is bad ass!
