A synthetic 9 00:00:28,360 --> 00:00:32,200 Speaker 2: oil is more molecularly balanced, meaning it's better chicken soup 10 00:00:32,280 --> 00:00:33,680 Speaker 2: for the car. If you know what I'm saying. 11 00:00:33,800 --> 00:00:37,440 Speaker 1: Welcome to the radio home of ron Ananium The Car Doctor. 12 00:00:37,720 --> 00:00:40,839 Speaker 1: Since nineteen ninety one, this is where car owners the 13 00:00:40,880 --> 00:00:45,159 Speaker 1: world overturned to for their definitive opinion on automotive refair. 14 00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,440 Speaker 1: If your mechanics giving you a busy signal, pick up 15 00:00:48,440 --> 00:00:52,000 Speaker 1: the phone and call in.

I'm not sure how I 25 00:01:15,280 --> 00:01:17,200 Speaker 2: can help you, Paul, because the timing chain is a 26 00:01:17,200 --> 00:01:19,160 Speaker 2: tough thing to explain on radio. I could show you 27 00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:21,800 Speaker 2: in person. But what's what's going on here? Kiddo? 28 00:01:23,560 --> 00:01:25,959 Speaker 3: Hey, Ron, I really appreciate you taking my call. So 29 00:01:26,080 --> 00:01:29,000 Speaker 3: what ended up happening is I had a stubborn misfire 30 00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:31,479 Speaker 3: on number four cylinder on this motor. It's at five 31 00:01:31,520 --> 00:01:34,960 Speaker 3: four to three valve that the usual stuff didn't take 32 00:01:34,959 --> 00:01:39,680 Speaker 3: care of coil plug, fuel injector right, and I was 33 00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:42,360 Speaker 3: dreading it. But I know I have suspected it. Head 34 00:01:42,360 --> 00:01:45,880 Speaker 3: thrown a rocker arm on one of the intake valves, 35 00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:48,440 Speaker 3: and I confirm that I pulled the valve covers. I've 36 00:01:48,440 --> 00:01:51,520 Speaker 3: got it pretty much all apart and everything gotcha. So 37 00:01:51,840 --> 00:01:55,560 Speaker 3: I'm looking for a recommendation mainly on the parts, what 38 00:01:55,800 --> 00:01:58,520 Speaker 3: brand of components to get a kit for the timing 39 00:01:58,520 --> 00:02:03,120 Speaker 3: set and cams and everything. I like Kloise, Okay, that's 40 00:02:03,120 --> 00:02:03,760 Speaker 3: what I was looking at. 41 00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:06,040 Speaker 2: Yeah, I like I like Kloise. The thing I like 42 00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:08,680 Speaker 2: about Kloise, and you know, I apologize for I've forgotten 43 00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:10,160 Speaker 2: his name, but we had the gentleman on the show. 44 00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:12,120 Speaker 2: I think it was last year. He's the technical director 45 00:02:12,160 --> 00:02:15,200 Speaker 2: for Kloise. Uh. You know, I like their videos. I 46 00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:17,640 Speaker 2: watch their stuff sometimes when on board, and I'm just 47 00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:20,040 Speaker 2: looking for entertainment, if you know what I'm saying, because 48 00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:21,600 Speaker 2: I like to look at the intremaces of how the 49 00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:24,200 Speaker 2: modern engine is built all the time for the ones 50 00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:26,760 Speaker 2: we don't see in the shop. I like Kloys for 51 00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:29,120 Speaker 2: their product. I like the way they go about product support. 52 00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:31,880 Speaker 2: I think they've got good tech line. If for some 53 00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:34,359 Speaker 2: reason and Kloys does run out of stuff from time 54 00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:37,280 Speaker 2: to time, you know, I'd go with Ford, you know, 55 00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:40,079 Speaker 2: just because, but you know, it's either one or the other. 56 00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:42,200 Speaker 2: It's it's not the moment where I want to start 57 00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:47,480 Speaker 2: using some aftermarket part experimentation. Uh. You know, I'm understood. 58 00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:52,120 Speaker 2: I'm very fuscy. I'm internal engine parts, so you know, 59 00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:54,440 Speaker 2: just just it's as simple as that. And then obviously 60 00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:57,320 Speaker 2: you've got there are a couple of special tools you'll need. 61 00:02:57,400 --> 00:03:00,760 Speaker 2: I mean, you can get away without it if you're careful, 62 00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:03,080 Speaker 2: but you know you do need a you know, the 63 00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:05,400 Speaker 2: lock tool for the phaser and you know you've got 64 00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:07,679 Speaker 2: to make sure you index things back going right. The 65 00:03:08,840 --> 00:03:10,960 Speaker 2: the sprocket tool, the holding tool for the crank shaft 66 00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:12,880 Speaker 2: is kind of handy to have. And you know, keep 67 00:03:12,919 --> 00:03:15,400 Speaker 2: in mind a lot of those things available on eBay. 68 00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:18,360 Speaker 2: You can buy them. You know, they're they're getting passed around. 69 00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:20,400 Speaker 2: I guess everybody you know goes through their spurt of 70 00:03:20,480 --> 00:03:22,040 Speaker 2: doing that engine and then they move on to the 71 00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:25,079 Speaker 2: next thing. But you know, having the under I've. 72 00:03:24,919 --> 00:03:27,960 Speaker 3: Got the kid that's got the compressor, the all of. 73 00:03:27,880 --> 00:03:29,919 Speaker 2: That on order. Yep, yep, yep, yep, yep. 74 00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:33,119 Speaker 3: And then while I'm at it, I mean, I'm I'm there. 75 00:03:33,160 --> 00:03:35,200 Speaker 3: I'm going to do the all the rocker arms and 76 00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:35,960 Speaker 3: all the lifters. 77 00:03:36,320 --> 00:03:38,880 Speaker 2: I've got it up absolutely, and then how many how 78 00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:40,120 Speaker 2: many miles are on this ground? 79 00:03:40,280 --> 00:03:42,840 Speaker 3: There's a twenty thousand? 80 00:03:43,160 --> 00:03:43,880 Speaker 4: Call it, you know, and. 81 00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:46,120 Speaker 2: Then what's the what's the water pump? Look like? What's 82 00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:46,880 Speaker 2: the radiator? 83 00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:47,080 Speaker 4: Like? 84 00:03:47,160 --> 00:03:48,880 Speaker 2: What's the But it sounds like you've got this well 85 00:03:48,880 --> 00:03:51,040 Speaker 2: in hand that you've you've probably considered all this. 86 00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:54,040 Speaker 3: Uh, that's what the other thing I wanted to should 87 00:03:54,040 --> 00:03:55,280 Speaker 3: I do the water pump? I see a lot of 88 00:03:55,320 --> 00:03:57,200 Speaker 3: the cloise kits and the mellings and everything. They come 89 00:03:57,240 --> 00:04:00,400 Speaker 3: in like three or four different versions depending on what's 90 00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:02,480 Speaker 3: you what else to replace, So you recommend the water. 91 00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:05,840 Speaker 2: It's a part. Listen. I put a transmission in my 92 00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:08,640 Speaker 2: suburban at fifty five thousand miles about seven years ago. 93 00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:11,560 Speaker 2: And don't ask me how, but I put a transmission, 94 00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:15,240 Speaker 2: a radiator or water pump, belts, hoses, spark plugs, coils, uh, 95 00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:18,600 Speaker 2: trans cooler lines, you know, fuel lines. It was apart 96 00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:20,920 Speaker 2: and I could get to everything, and and all the 97 00:04:20,960 --> 00:04:24,240 Speaker 2: fluids got changed. And you know, it's it's because we're 98 00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:26,440 Speaker 2: not talking about something with low mileage. We're not talking 99 00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:28,920 Speaker 2: about something that's a spring chicken. It's a part. It's 100 00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:31,720 Speaker 2: the price of parts at this point. And it's the 101 00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:34,120 Speaker 2: price of parts, if I can, Paul not to lecture, 102 00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:36,000 Speaker 2: because I don't want to sound like that, but it's 103 00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:38,719 Speaker 2: the price of parts. It's the availability of parts. Because 104 00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:41,760 Speaker 2: in three years, when something that you had your hands 105 00:04:41,760 --> 00:04:45,120 Speaker 2: on today fails and you can't get one or you 106 00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:47,960 Speaker 2: can't get a good quality part, you're going to kick 107 00:04:47,960 --> 00:04:53,640 Speaker 2: yourself in the head. So just do what with Yeah, 108 00:04:53,640 --> 00:04:55,719 Speaker 2: why not? You know, why not? It's there? 109 00:04:56,240 --> 00:05:00,800 Speaker 3: I mean, it's right there. It's there paint exactly. 110 00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:03,400 Speaker 2: You know, it's it's rotating electrical. At this point, if 111 00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:05,720 Speaker 2: you're taking the alternator off and it's the original alternator 112 00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:08,640 Speaker 2: for some reason, maybe you want to change it. You know, 113 00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:12,159 Speaker 2: you start thinking about this stuff. It's like, while it's apart, 114 00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:14,400 Speaker 2: and while it's down, start looking at heater hoses because 115 00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:16,520 Speaker 2: now you'll have access to them all the way in 116 00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:17,120 Speaker 2: the back. 117 00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:21,200 Speaker 3: There and uh, you know, and that underneath it runs 118 00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:23,719 Speaker 3: underneath the intake the return. 119 00:05:23,520 --> 00:05:26,960 Speaker 2: While it's apart. Yep, while it's apart, quick. 120 00:05:26,839 --> 00:05:28,920 Speaker 3: Question on that though. That looks like it's got a 121 00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:31,279 Speaker 3: nipple that sticks through the block on the back of 122 00:05:31,279 --> 00:05:33,040 Speaker 3: the water pump housing. Is that how that works? And 123 00:05:33,080 --> 00:05:34,480 Speaker 3: then it's got some O ring seals or something. 124 00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:36,919 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's it's going to be O rings. So you 125 00:05:36,960 --> 00:05:39,479 Speaker 2: want to make sure and again, you know, and i'd 126 00:05:39,520 --> 00:05:42,720 Speaker 2: probably when I get the replacement, you know, i'd consider 127 00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:45,400 Speaker 2: painting it or somehow weather proofing it or doesn't have 128 00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:46,840 Speaker 2: to be pretty, it just has to be a little 129 00:05:46,839 --> 00:05:49,520 Speaker 2: bit more weather resistant. Uh, you know, so it doesn't 130 00:05:49,560 --> 00:05:52,359 Speaker 2: then the factory coding, then the factory coding. You know, 131 00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:55,200 Speaker 2: I have no problem painting over a factory coded part 132 00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:57,960 Speaker 2: of anything. If it if it adds another year or 133 00:05:58,000 --> 00:05:59,960 Speaker 2: two two before it gets down to the factory code, 134 00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:02,279 Speaker 2: and that gives me five years. That's seven years and 135 00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:04,800 Speaker 2: seven years the truck will be right exactly. You know 136 00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:06,800 Speaker 2: where am I right? 137 00:06:07,400 --> 00:06:07,760 Speaker 3: Exactly? 138 00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:09,880 Speaker 2: It's got to be functional. It doesn't have to be 139 00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:10,960 Speaker 2: pretty or a show truck. 140 00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:15,840 Speaker 3: So all right, And one other thing I just wanted 141 00:06:15,839 --> 00:06:18,320 Speaker 3: to commend to your recommendations on all data.

I replaced 176 00:07:43,960 --> 00:07:48,400 Speaker 4: the car the Kylac converger twice on it now and 177 00:07:49,600 --> 00:07:52,000 Speaker 4: now because I've replaced it four years ago back during 178 00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:56,360 Speaker 4: the pandemic, and I replaced it this week, today, this 179 00:07:56,400 --> 00:08:00,200 Speaker 4: past week. Now, my question to you is, now it 180 00:08:00,200 --> 00:08:02,320 Speaker 4: has one hundred and forty eight thousand miles on it, 181 00:08:02,760 --> 00:08:05,160 Speaker 4: how long should I be able to keep this car 182 00:08:05,520 --> 00:08:08,440 Speaker 4: like it is right now in terms of maintenance and 183 00:08:08,480 --> 00:08:10,400 Speaker 4: all that. Because it's a it's a very good car. 184 00:08:10,400 --> 00:08:12,160 Speaker 4: I don't want to get rid of it. But it's 185 00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:14,640 Speaker 4: just the idea that the Cali convertia in the front 186 00:08:14,720 --> 00:08:16,480 Speaker 4: is always going out that normal. 187 00:08:17,720 --> 00:08:19,560 Speaker 2: So let's let's chat a little bit. This is the 188 00:08:19,600 --> 00:08:23,720 Speaker 2: four cylinder, correct, Philip, Yeah, all right, yeah, so this 189 00:08:23,800 --> 00:08:26,720 Speaker 2: is the four cylinder. First of all, all right, if 190 00:08:26,720 --> 00:08:28,720 Speaker 2: you were to talk to a Hyundai service tech, they'd 191 00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:30,600 Speaker 2: probably tell you a one hundred and fifty thousand miles, 192 00:08:30,600 --> 00:08:32,320 Speaker 2: you got one and a half times what they would 193 00:08:32,320 --> 00:08:34,280 Speaker 2: normally expect out of the vehicle. They see a lot 194 00:08:34,280 --> 00:08:36,079 Speaker 2: of engine failures and a lot of engine issues with 195 00:08:36,120 --> 00:08:39,840 Speaker 2: that particular vehicle. So you know, have you had the 196 00:08:39,880 --> 00:08:42,680 Speaker 2: engine recall done yet where you're sitting the nock sensor 197 00:08:42,760 --> 00:08:45,800 Speaker 2: fault and they do the software estate Okay, so have 198 00:08:45,880 --> 00:08:46,520 Speaker 2: you had a rej. 199 00:08:46,559 --> 00:08:51,240 Speaker 5: They did all that, and have you had with Yeah, 200 00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:53,200 Speaker 5: I know, I haven't replaced the engine I did an 201 00:08:53,240 --> 00:08:56,000 Speaker 5: engine cole a couple of a couple of months ago, 202 00:08:56,040 --> 00:08:57,160 Speaker 5: along with the sparks. 203 00:08:56,880 --> 00:08:59,400 Speaker 4: Clothes, changed all that out again, all right, because I 204 00:08:59,400 --> 00:09:00,320 Speaker 4: had to do that again. 205 00:09:00,520 --> 00:09:02,320 Speaker 2: All right? What do you what do you mean you 206 00:09:02,520 --> 00:09:04,839 Speaker 2: changed it again? If when was the last time you 207 00:09:04,880 --> 00:09:05,680 Speaker 2: did spark plugs? 208 00:09:07,480 --> 00:09:09,200 Speaker 3: About two years ago? 209 00:09:09,679 --> 00:09:10,360 Speaker 4: At years ago? 210 00:09:10,440 --> 00:09:11,400 Speaker 2: At what mileage? 211 00:09:13,160 --> 00:09:16,880 Speaker 4: About least thousand? 212 00:09:17,559 --> 00:09:19,760 Speaker 2: You know? Now, So if you did plugs at one 213 00:09:19,800 --> 00:09:24,160 Speaker 2: hundred thousand and that's normal maintenance? Did did did this 214 00:09:24,320 --> 00:09:27,880 Speaker 2: have a replacement engine? Did this go through the engine 215 00:09:27,920 --> 00:09:30,000 Speaker 2: failure with bearings and so forth? 216 00:09:30,800 --> 00:09:33,440 Speaker 4: Oh no, no, no, not yet? Okay, thank god? All right, 217 00:09:33,480 --> 00:09:35,080 Speaker 4: because I don't drive it that much anyway. 218 00:09:35,160 --> 00:09:37,680 Speaker 2: All right, But you're aware of the recall, you're aware 219 00:09:37,679 --> 00:09:42,040 Speaker 2: of the problems with the engine that I'm talking about, correct, Yeah, right, 220 00:09:42,240 --> 00:09:45,080 Speaker 2: So that being said, as long as the engine is sound, 221 00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:47,920 Speaker 2: all right, You know, a fuel system cleaning is not 222 00:09:47,960 --> 00:09:50,280 Speaker 2: a bad idea for normal maintenance. It sounds like you're 223 00:09:50,280 --> 00:09:52,439 Speaker 2: trying to do the right stuff. But as far as 224 00:09:52,440 --> 00:09:55,480 Speaker 2: catalytic converter failure, when the first cat failed, when did 225 00:09:55,480 --> 00:09:57,800 Speaker 2: it fail? About it at one hundred thousand mile mark? 226 00:09:59,080 --> 00:09:59,320 Speaker 3: Yes? 227 00:09:59,640 --> 00:10:02,520 Speaker 4: Yeah, sure, about about least one hundred and twenty thou 228 00:10:02,880 --> 00:10:04,560 Speaker 4: did you did you replace it years ago? 229 00:10:04,720 --> 00:10:06,480 Speaker 2: Did you replace it with a hundaid part or an 230 00:10:06,480 --> 00:10:07,360 Speaker 2: aftermarket part? 231 00:10:09,080 --> 00:10:10,800 Speaker 4: You know I did it that? Uh well, one of 232 00:10:10,840 --> 00:10:13,000 Speaker 4: my one of my mechanics here in Lapiad. 233 00:10:13,120 --> 00:10:16,120 Speaker 3: He does a really good job over here. But I'm 234 00:10:16,160 --> 00:10:16,800 Speaker 3: thinking use a. 235 00:10:17,360 --> 00:10:19,079 Speaker 4: I don't know if it's after market par or from 236 00:10:19,120 --> 00:10:19,680 Speaker 4: the factory. 237 00:10:19,880 --> 00:10:23,160 Speaker 2: You know, usually the factory stuff lasts longer. If it's 238 00:10:23,200 --> 00:10:26,880 Speaker 2: an aftermarket part, you'll typically see a shortened service life. 239 00:10:27,280 --> 00:10:29,679 Speaker 2: So let's look at let's look at it like this. 240 00:10:29,920 --> 00:10:31,680 Speaker 2: You got one hundred thousand out of the first one, 241 00:10:31,960 --> 00:10:34,679 Speaker 2: you got fifty thousand out of the second one. You're 242 00:10:34,679 --> 00:10:38,560 Speaker 2: about halfway. So if if you are, that's well because 243 00:10:38,559 --> 00:10:41,400 Speaker 2: if you look at an aftermarket cat, and after market 244 00:10:41,440 --> 00:10:45,480 Speaker 2: cats are cheaper, right, but they are smaller. Yeah, all right, 245 00:10:45,640 --> 00:10:49,520 Speaker 2: so there's their service life has to be less. As 246 00:10:49,600 --> 00:10:52,120 Speaker 2: long as the vehicles in proper running order, as long 247 00:10:52,120 --> 00:10:55,520 Speaker 2: as fuel trims look good, normal fuel system cleaning, normal fluids, 248 00:10:55,520 --> 00:10:58,680 Speaker 2: normal filters, you know, the usual stuff that's supposed to 249 00:10:58,679 --> 00:11:02,800 Speaker 2: get done. Yeah, you know, I mean that's normal. I'm 250 00:11:02,800 --> 00:11:06,079 Speaker 2: not surprised. How long will this car last? How long 251 00:11:06,120 --> 00:11:10,120 Speaker 2: will this car last? You know, you're I don't want 252 00:11:10,120 --> 00:11:13,640 Speaker 2: to say you're beyond expectations, but you're doing great. Think 253 00:11:13,720 --> 00:11:15,440 Speaker 2: do I think you can get the two hundred thousand 254 00:11:15,520 --> 00:11:15,880 Speaker 2: out of it? 255 00:11:16,480 --> 00:11:16,680 Speaker 6: Yeah? 256 00:11:16,800 --> 00:11:19,640 Speaker 2: Probably, I think I think I would exercise some caution 257 00:11:19,800 --> 00:11:22,120 Speaker 2: and care and just I would definitely do a fuel 258 00:11:22,120 --> 00:11:24,280 Speaker 2: system cleaning and I would be you know, more conscious 259 00:11:24,320 --> 00:11:27,400 Speaker 2: of filters and fluids. But and by all means, has 260 00:11:27,440 --> 00:11:29,600 Speaker 2: the coolant ever been serviced on this vehicle? 261 00:11:30,360 --> 00:11:33,360 Speaker 4: Yes? Yeah, I just serviced it at well over there 262 00:11:33,440 --> 00:11:37,760 Speaker 4: at over at five service at last month. Yeah, we 263 00:11:37,920 --> 00:11:40,480 Speaker 4: just did a whole engine cooling and everything with the. 264 00:11:40,520 --> 00:11:43,400 Speaker 2: Whole you know, brother, whatever you're doing is working. I 265 00:11:43,440 --> 00:11:46,240 Speaker 2: wouldn't let the catalytic converter replacement beat you up, but 266 00:11:46,400 --> 00:11:48,840 Speaker 2: I would just stay on top of it and consider 267 00:11:48,840 --> 00:11:51,800 Speaker 2: adding fuel system cleaning to it, uh, you know, to 268 00:11:51,840 --> 00:11:52,839 Speaker 2: get you that much further. 269 00:11:52,960 --> 00:11:56,400 Speaker 4: All right, Okay, Yeah, well that's great. Now it has 270 00:11:56,480 --> 00:11:59,200 Speaker 4: two Calie converters on it, the one on the top 271 00:11:59,240 --> 00:12:01,040 Speaker 4: and the one on the bottom. It was that normal 272 00:12:01,080 --> 00:12:02,559 Speaker 4: for Hondai to make one like that. 273 00:12:02,679 --> 00:12:05,280 Speaker 2: Yeah, it depends on what the EPA mandated and how 274 00:12:05,280 --> 00:12:07,440 Speaker 2: they had a you know, meat drive cycle in terms 275 00:12:07,440 --> 00:12:10,559 Speaker 2: of cleanliness. That that's not unusual. A lot of vehicles 276 00:12:10,600 --> 00:12:13,240 Speaker 2: have two, A lot of vehicles have four catalytic converters, 277 00:12:13,480 --> 00:12:15,560 Speaker 2: depending upon configuration of engine. 278 00:12:15,920 --> 00:12:18,120 Speaker 4: So yeah, because he put it on the diagnostic he 279 00:12:18,160 --> 00:12:20,400 Speaker 4: said that the bottom one is fine, but just the 280 00:12:20,480 --> 00:12:22,920 Speaker 4: top one was bad. Again, I said, that's unusual. 281 00:12:23,040 --> 00:12:27,319 Speaker 2: Could well you did, you did, but you didn't. All right, 282 00:12:27,360 --> 00:12:29,200 Speaker 2: but I bet you it was an aftermarket cat and 283 00:12:29,240 --> 00:12:31,000 Speaker 2: I bet you it was a lot cheaper than the 284 00:12:31,080 --> 00:12:33,880 Speaker 2: Hyundai version, and you price shop it that way, and 285 00:12:33,880 --> 00:12:37,839 Speaker 2: that'll make you feel a little bit better maybe. So yeah, yeah, okay, 286 00:12:37,920 --> 00:12:38,360 Speaker 2: all right. 287 00:12:38,400 --> 00:12:40,800 Speaker 4: Great, well, all right, well I'll just go ahead and 288 00:12:40,880 --> 00:12:42,839 Speaker 4: get that done. A fuel system. 289 00:12:43,200 --> 00:12:46,680 Speaker 2: Cleaning er yeah fuel, no fuel, A fuel system cleaning 290 00:12:46,720 --> 00:12:47,679 Speaker 2: where they're going to hook up. 291 00:12:48,080 --> 00:12:48,240 Speaker 4: Uh. 292 00:12:48,280 --> 00:12:50,560 Speaker 2: You know, companies like c RC actually make a kit. 293 00:12:50,600 --> 00:12:52,920 Speaker 2: If you want to try it yourself, you can, you know, 294 00:12:53,040 --> 00:12:56,240 Speaker 2: clean the injectors, clean the intake. It'll clean the back 295 00:12:56,280 --> 00:12:59,960 Speaker 2: of the intake valves and help insure longevity in it. 296 00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:02,720 Speaker 2: You know what. A good kit like the CRC kits 297 00:13:02,760 --> 00:13:06,320 Speaker 2: will also help keep catalytic converter health in proper order. 298 00:13:06,320 --> 00:13:09,640 Speaker 2: It's sort of like a blood thinner or a blood cleaner. 299 00:13:09,640 --> 00:13:11,120 Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying, if you were a human being, 300 00:13:11,120 --> 00:13:13,960 Speaker 2: it just helps keep the cat clean as well, so 301 00:13:14,040 --> 00:13:16,800 Speaker 2: you may want to do that too, all right now. 302 00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:20,319 Speaker 4: Auto own recommended cat clean.

I have a twenty 329 00:14:25,440 --> 00:14:28,880 Speaker 2: twenty one BMWX six fifty nine, which is a rocket 330 00:14:28,880 --> 00:14:31,760 Speaker 2: ship guys sixty one thousand, almost sixty two thousand miles. 331 00:14:31,800 --> 00:14:34,240 Speaker 2: It's the dealership now having the front differential replace. The 332 00:14:34,240 --> 00:14:37,360 Speaker 2: front differential had lifetime fluid in it, and my extended 333 00:14:37,400 --> 00:14:39,520 Speaker 2: warranty will cover the damage. Otherwise it would be sixty 334 00:14:39,520 --> 00:14:42,280 Speaker 2: five hundred bucks. The transfer case went out at forty 335 00:14:42,320 --> 00:14:46,280 Speaker 2: thousand miles wasn't fixed under the factory warranty. BMW recommends 336 00:14:46,320 --> 00:14:49,120 Speaker 2: changing transfer case fluid and red differential fluid at fifty 337 00:14:49,360 --> 00:14:52,240 Speaker 2: I've changed fluid in both of those. The service manager 338 00:14:52,240 --> 00:14:53,960 Speaker 2: will not have pay for any of this, I've asked, 339 00:14:54,000 --> 00:14:55,880 Speaker 2: even though I haven't extended warranty. That said, it doesn't 340 00:14:55,920 --> 00:14:58,600 Speaker 2: see these issues often, so it can't be a BMW problem. 341 00:14:58,600 --> 00:15:01,600 Speaker 2: BMW does not recommend change trans fluid because it's a 342 00:15:01,640 --> 00:15:05,880 Speaker 2: sealed system with lifetime fluid. I called John kind of 343 00:15:05,880 --> 00:15:10,360 Speaker 2: shocked them midweek. John, Yeah, ronin Aian, No really, who 344 00:15:10,440 --> 00:15:12,880 Speaker 2: is this? No really, it's after a while he listened 345 00:15:12,920 --> 00:15:14,120 Speaker 2: to my voice. He could tell it was me, and 346 00:15:14,160 --> 00:15:16,920 Speaker 2: we got into it within thirty seconds. And I explained 347 00:15:16,920 --> 00:15:18,360 Speaker 2: to John, and I wanted to explain to all of 348 00:15:18,360 --> 00:15:20,560 Speaker 2: you that, you know, I don't think anything has a 349 00:15:20,560 --> 00:15:24,000 Speaker 2: lifetime fluid on it. I think it's what manufacturers recommend to, 350 00:15:24,280 --> 00:15:28,360 Speaker 2: you know, perceive the idea that nothing breaks and fluids do. 351 00:15:28,720 --> 00:15:30,960 Speaker 2: Fluids do wear out, and they wear out worse in 352 00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:35,120 Speaker 2: a harsh environment versus you know, a comma environment. You know, 353 00:15:35,280 --> 00:15:38,520 Speaker 2: consider how vehicles are sold and manufactured or manufactured and 354 00:15:38,520 --> 00:15:42,040 Speaker 2: then sold, you know, selling a vehicle in Florida. There 355 00:15:42,040 --> 00:15:45,600 Speaker 2: are different environmental than operating characteristic concerns than for the 356 00:15:45,680 --> 00:15:49,160 Speaker 2: vehicle that's maybe in Texas or southern California or Lincoln, 357 00:15:49,200 --> 00:15:53,520 Speaker 2: Nebraska or you know, Oregon. It's all different environments, it's 358 00:15:53,560 --> 00:15:59,360 Speaker 2: all different operating conditions and those fluids react differently. So 359 00:15:59,560 --> 00:16:02,040 Speaker 2: get this idea of lifetime fluids out of your head. 360 00:16:02,440 --> 00:16:05,000 Speaker 2: Talk to your mechanic. I think having this is a 361 00:16:05,040 --> 00:16:08,160 Speaker 2: case we're having a mechanic and having them explain, Hey, 362 00:16:08,200 --> 00:16:10,720 Speaker 2: this is what we typically see, this is what typically 363 00:16:10,800 --> 00:16:13,000 Speaker 2: fails in our region and our part of the country, 364 00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:15,480 Speaker 2: how the vehicles being driven, and this is what we 365 00:16:15,600 --> 00:16:20,360 Speaker 2: recommend for best possible service. I pointed out to John that, 366 00:16:21,040 --> 00:16:24,320 Speaker 2: you know, I know for a fact BMW may not 367 00:16:24,440 --> 00:16:26,840 Speaker 2: recommend fluid service, but a lot of shops will start 368 00:16:26,840 --> 00:16:29,200 Speaker 2: to change that fluid around the sixty to eighty thousand 369 00:16:29,240 --> 00:16:31,520 Speaker 2: mile mark. I even verified this with a couple of 370 00:16:31,560 --> 00:16:34,760 Speaker 2: BMW gurus, some of the BMW shops that are around us. 371 00:16:34,800 --> 00:16:36,520 Speaker 2: You know, how are they servicing those vehicles? And they 372 00:16:36,560 --> 00:16:39,320 Speaker 2: all told me the same thing. I called John back, 373 00:16:39,560 --> 00:16:42,280 Speaker 2: which kind of blew his mind a second time, and 374 00:16:42,520 --> 00:16:45,120 Speaker 2: explain to him what you know, the BMW shops were saying, 375 00:16:45,120 --> 00:16:47,120 Speaker 2: and they were verifying what I had already said to him, 376 00:16:47,440 --> 00:16:49,840 Speaker 2: and that changing it probably is a good idea. It's 377 00:16:49,880 --> 00:16:54,360 Speaker 2: just normal maintenance. He went to his dealer, they really 378 00:16:54,400 --> 00:16:56,240 Speaker 2: said it doesn't need to be changed. So he's taking 379 00:16:56,240 --> 00:16:59,880 Speaker 2: it to another BMW dealer this week that will, you know, 380 00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:02,640 Speaker 2: probably change it. And that's the point of this or 381 00:17:02,680 --> 00:17:04,639 Speaker 2: one of the points. You know, Mom always said, if 382 00:17:04,640 --> 00:17:06,960 Speaker 2: you don't like the first answer, Ronnie, keep asking until 383 00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:08,480 Speaker 2: you get the one that makes sense to you. Because 384 00:17:08,480 --> 00:17:11,080 Speaker 2: it doesn't make sense to me about lifetime fluids didn't 385 00:17:11,080 --> 00:17:13,720 Speaker 2: make sense to John either. He's out trying to find 386 00:17:13,760 --> 00:17:17,119 Speaker 2: a shot the services BMW as well as change the 387 00:17:17,160 --> 00:17:20,400 Speaker 2: transmission fluid. So the moral here is if it's wet, 388 00:17:20,560 --> 00:17:23,359 Speaker 2: change it. And remember that fluid does need to be 389 00:17:23,400 --> 00:17:26,440 Speaker 2: replaced and serviced on a regular basis. It really is important, 390 00:17:26,680 --> 00:17:30,159 Speaker 2: especially when you're driving something like a twenty one BMWX 391 00:17:30,240 --> 00:17:34,040 Speaker 2: six that's really a rocket ship and the environment has 392 00:17:34,080 --> 00:17:35,840 Speaker 2: something to do with it, as well as a V 393 00:17:35,920 --> 00:17:41,040 Speaker 2: eight powered BMW. Let me tell you, you know that's 394 00:17:41,080 --> 00:17:43,320 Speaker 2: not your father's ultimobile, if I can say it like that. 395 00:17:43,680 --> 00:17:46,760 Speaker 2: Donald Donald Farr wrote a book about Mustang's Ford Mustang 396 00:17:46,800 --> 00:17:50,160 Speaker 2: sixty years is. He is the Mustang guru in the industry. 397 00:17:50,200 --> 00:17:53,040 Speaker 2: Everybody knows of him, and you know they look forward 398 00:17:53,040 --> 00:17:56,320 Speaker 2: to his comments and commentary. I've seen the book. It's 399 00:17:56,400 --> 00:18:00,800 Speaker 2: got some really great information and a good solid color pictures. 400 00:18:01,320 --> 00:18:03,120 Speaker 2: You know, the sixty four and a half Mustang where 401 00:18:03,160 --> 00:18:05,919 Speaker 2: it all started is in the book as well as 402 00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:08,520 Speaker 2: up to and including the newer ones. So I think 403 00:18:08,560 --> 00:18:10,680 Speaker 2: you're going to enjoy this because coming up next, we've 404 00:18:10,680 --> 00:18:13,280 Speaker 2: got Donald waiting in the green room of Radio as 405 00:18:13,320 --> 00:18:15,320 Speaker 2: it were, here to talk to us about it and 406 00:18:15,640 --> 00:18:18,240 Speaker 2: answer all of our Mustang questions. So you know, just 407 00:18:18,320 --> 00:18:20,680 Speaker 2: keep that in mind. You know what they don't make 408 00:18:20,720 --> 00:18:23,400 Speaker 2: BMW's like Ford Mustangs. And it's been sixty years since 409 00:18:23,400 --> 00:18:26,520 Speaker 2: we saw the first one, so everything's different, everything changes, 410 00:18:26,560 --> 00:18:29,040 Speaker 2: everything remains the same. I'm ronning Andy in the car Doctor. 411 00:18:29,080 --> 00:18:50,480 Speaker 2: I'll be back right after this. Don't go away.

You know, I 424 00:19:35,119 --> 00:19:37,879 Speaker 2: got to tell you my Mustang story. Right. So, my 425 00:19:38,000 --> 00:19:42,000 Speaker 2: father had a friend, Seymour. Now, my father and Seymour, 426 00:19:42,040 --> 00:19:44,880 Speaker 2: they were two aircraft mechanics during the Second World War. 427 00:19:44,880 --> 00:19:47,720 Speaker 2: They worked out at the New York Airports working on 428 00:19:47,800 --> 00:19:50,640 Speaker 2: aircraft for American airlines and the government during the war. 429 00:19:50,680 --> 00:19:52,760 Speaker 2: And they were mechanics at heart, and so they were 430 00:19:52,760 --> 00:19:56,399 Speaker 2: always tinkerers, right, and Uncle Seymour, they were like Ralph 431 00:19:56,400 --> 00:19:59,040 Speaker 2: and Norton of their day, you know, these two Brooklyn kids. 432 00:19:59,400 --> 00:20:02,000 Speaker 2: And you know, Seymour came to the house one day 433 00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:03,280 Speaker 2: when I was a little kid, I must have been 434 00:20:03,359 --> 00:20:06,960 Speaker 2: nine or ten years old with a brandy spankin New 435 00:20:08,040 --> 00:20:10,360 Speaker 2: sixty four and a half, right was the first year 436 00:20:10,400 --> 00:20:15,160 Speaker 2: for Mustang, Yes, yeah, correct, right, yeah, And I can 437 00:20:15,200 --> 00:20:20,440 Speaker 2: still see it. Yellow convertible, brown interior. And Dad wasn't 438 00:20:20,440 --> 00:20:22,679 Speaker 2: home and he had to show somebody, so he had 439 00:20:22,720 --> 00:20:24,240 Speaker 2: to take me out for a ride in the Mustang. 440 00:20:24,560 --> 00:20:27,160 Speaker 2: Uncle Seymour, what's so great about this? Watch this, Ronnie? 441 00:20:27,359 --> 00:20:29,080 Speaker 2: And we you know went down the highway and ate 442 00:20:29,160 --> 00:20:31,040 Speaker 2: floor it and he'd be like giddy up giddy. I 443 00:20:31,040 --> 00:20:33,560 Speaker 2: never saw a forty year old man turn into such 444 00:20:33,560 --> 00:20:37,040 Speaker 2: a kid driving a car as I did him driving 445 00:20:37,080 --> 00:20:40,840 Speaker 2: that convertible Mustang. And I think everybody's got a Mustang 446 00:20:40,920 --> 00:20:41,640 Speaker 2: story like that. 447 00:20:41,720 --> 00:20:47,479 Speaker 6: Right, exactly, their Mustang stories. Everybody relates to a Mustang, 448 00:20:47,480 --> 00:20:51,640 Speaker 6: whether it was a neighbor or a father or a grandfather, 449 00:20:53,600 --> 00:20:54,760 Speaker 6: a friend in high school. 450 00:20:54,880 --> 00:20:58,600 Speaker 2: Yes, Now, Now, the Mustang was the original pony car, correct, 451 00:20:58,640 --> 00:21:01,200 Speaker 2: I mean, and it created that category, right, there wasn't 452 00:21:01,240 --> 00:21:04,440 Speaker 2: a America didn't have a pony car category until the 453 00:21:04,520 --> 00:21:05,800 Speaker 2: Mustang came along. 454 00:21:06,200 --> 00:21:08,440 Speaker 6: Right, Yeah, that's why they named it a pony car. 455 00:21:08,480 --> 00:21:11,920 Speaker 6: I'm not even sure what a Camaro was, but a 456 00:21:11,920 --> 00:21:13,200 Speaker 6: pony car fit right. 457 00:21:13,359 --> 00:21:16,440 Speaker 2: Yeah. Well, and I think Camaro sort of came along 458 00:21:16,440 --> 00:21:21,240 Speaker 2: because it was always Mustang versus Camaro, right the way 459 00:21:21,240 --> 00:21:24,480 Speaker 2: I remember it. But you know, the Mustang was the first, 460 00:21:24,760 --> 00:21:27,439 Speaker 2: and you know what made it so unique? What do 461 00:21:27,480 --> 00:21:29,280 Speaker 2: you think? Why do you think America fell in love 462 00:21:29,320 --> 00:21:29,600 Speaker 2: with it? 463 00:21:31,520 --> 00:21:36,520 Speaker 6: Well? It was interestingly enough was it started out on 464 00:21:36,560 --> 00:21:42,560 Speaker 6: a Falcon and Leiahcoca and a group of other executives 465 00:21:42,600 --> 00:21:46,400 Speaker 6: at Ford Motor Company in the early sixties wanted saw 466 00:21:46,600 --> 00:21:49,360 Speaker 6: the baby boom generation coming of age in the mid 467 00:21:49,440 --> 00:21:53,960 Speaker 6: sixties with driver's license, so they wanted to create a 468 00:21:54,000 --> 00:21:57,840 Speaker 6: new car. And when Henry Ford the second wouldn't give 469 00:21:57,880 --> 00:22:00,640 Speaker 6: them the money to develop a totally new car, they 470 00:22:00,680 --> 00:22:03,760 Speaker 6: developed it on the Falcon, so they had the chassis, 471 00:22:03,800 --> 00:22:06,639 Speaker 6: the suspension, the engine. So they came up with a 472 00:22:06,680 --> 00:22:10,760 Speaker 6: new body and it was very Italian looking with an 473 00:22:10,840 --> 00:22:17,320 Speaker 6: open grill, the headlights, set back, long hood, short rear deck. 474 00:22:17,760 --> 00:22:20,919 Speaker 6: It was just sporty looking and sexy and looked like 475 00:22:21,000 --> 00:22:24,560 Speaker 6: it was going fast sitting still, and so much better 476 00:22:24,600 --> 00:22:28,320 Speaker 6: than the Valiants or Falcon compacts of the day. And 477 00:22:29,400 --> 00:22:32,240 Speaker 6: Ford sold over a million in the first couple of years? 478 00:22:32,359 --> 00:22:32,639 Speaker 2: Did it? 479 00:22:32,760 --> 00:22:32,960 Speaker 5: You know? 480 00:22:33,040 --> 00:22:35,880 Speaker 2: Do you know? If what did they expect to sell? 481 00:22:35,920 --> 00:22:37,760 Speaker 2: I get, I mean, I guess it met expectations, right 482 00:22:37,800 --> 00:22:40,879 Speaker 2: because they kept it rolling for how many years to 483 00:22:41,200 --> 00:22:42,119 Speaker 2: still rolling today? 484 00:22:42,200 --> 00:22:42,600 Speaker 4: Correct? 485 00:22:43,080 --> 00:22:44,280 Speaker 6: Yeah? Sixty years later? Y? 486 00:22:44,359 --> 00:22:47,080 Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, so I guess I guess it met 487 00:22:47,119 --> 00:22:50,879 Speaker 2: sales expectations. Were the first cars were the early cars 488 00:22:51,760 --> 00:22:55,160 Speaker 2: performance driven? Or was it six cylinders and two eighty 489 00:22:55,240 --> 00:22:56,080 Speaker 2: nine two barrels? 490 00:22:56,840 --> 00:23:00,960 Speaker 6: Well, it was six cylinders and two sixties at first, 491 00:23:01,800 --> 00:23:07,400 Speaker 6: and a couple of months after the Mustang came out, 492 00:23:07,480 --> 00:23:09,879 Speaker 6: they got the TOO eighty nine high performance from the 493 00:23:09,880 --> 00:23:11,760 Speaker 6: fair Lane in it. That gave it two hundred and 494 00:23:11,760 --> 00:23:16,720 Speaker 6: seventy one horse power, and by the time the nineteen 495 00:23:16,800 --> 00:23:22,840 Speaker 6: sixty five models rolled along, the TOW eighty nine was 496 00:23:22,440 --> 00:23:26,720 Speaker 6: was the main engine. And then of course Carol Shelby 497 00:23:26,720 --> 00:23:29,440 Speaker 6: took it and made it a totally different animal altogether 498 00:23:29,800 --> 00:23:31,080 Speaker 6: and turned it into a muscle car. 499 00:23:31,400 --> 00:23:34,560 Speaker 2: Yeah, and I guess I guess everything's timing right, you know, 500 00:23:34,640 --> 00:23:37,960 Speaker 2: Carol Shelby came along, and I mean Carol Shelby called 501 00:23:37,960 --> 00:23:40,880 Speaker 2: it the Secretary's car, right, I remember exactly. 502 00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:44,440 Speaker 6: He didn't. He didn't really he didn't want to take 503 00:23:44,520 --> 00:23:49,639 Speaker 6: on the Mustang because he was already involved in racing 504 00:23:49,680 --> 00:23:53,400 Speaker 6: the GT forties at Lamont, and he had the Daytona coops. 505 00:23:53,640 --> 00:23:56,800 Speaker 6: He had a full plate having to build cobra's to 506 00:23:57,160 --> 00:24:01,760 Speaker 6: to malligate them for racing. So yeah, he didn't want 507 00:24:01,760 --> 00:24:04,800 Speaker 6: to do it at first, but when Leiahkoco came calling 508 00:24:04,960 --> 00:24:09,239 Speaker 6: and Ford was his main stay income, he figured he'd 509 00:24:09,280 --> 00:24:09,760 Speaker 6: better do it. 510 00:24:10,320 --> 00:24:13,440 Speaker 2: You've written this book and we're here listeners talking about 511 00:24:13,480 --> 00:24:18,040 Speaker 2: Ford Mustang sixty years and it's the officially licensed history 512 00:24:18,520 --> 00:24:21,639 Speaker 2: of the Mustang. Correct Ford gave you their blessing to 513 00:24:21,640 --> 00:24:22,240 Speaker 2: put this together. 514 00:24:22,320 --> 00:24:24,400 Speaker 6: Yeah, well, I mean, let's back up a little bit 515 00:24:24,400 --> 00:24:27,400 Speaker 6: on that. Ten years ago I did a book called 516 00:24:27,520 --> 00:24:32,240 Speaker 6: Mustang fifty Years and that was really also licensed by Ford, 517 00:24:32,440 --> 00:24:36,360 Speaker 6: and that was kind of the general history of the Mustang. 518 00:24:36,440 --> 00:24:40,640 Speaker 6: So when Motor Books approached me about Mustang sixty Years, 519 00:24:41,160 --> 00:24:44,600 Speaker 6: I didn't really want to rewrite that book as a 520 00:24:44,680 --> 00:24:47,240 Speaker 6: history book, and I suggested that we do a book 521 00:24:47,240 --> 00:24:53,080 Speaker 6: of stories. And I've been in been writing about Mustangs 522 00:24:53,080 --> 00:24:58,919 Speaker 6: for over forty years at magazines and books, and often 523 00:24:59,000 --> 00:25:02,320 Speaker 6: I would think about these stories that I wrote about 524 00:25:02,600 --> 00:25:06,000 Speaker 6: or were involved in somehow are knew the people involved? 525 00:25:06,640 --> 00:25:11,480 Speaker 6: And I said, well, why don't we do sixty stories 526 00:25:11,560 --> 00:25:16,600 Speaker 6: for sixty years and cover all seven Mustang generations. And 527 00:25:17,400 --> 00:25:20,080 Speaker 6: Motorbooks liked it. I think the idea of stories is 528 00:25:20,200 --> 00:25:24,879 Speaker 6: very popular these days, and it turned out to a 529 00:25:24,960 --> 00:25:25,480 Speaker 6: nice book. 530 00:25:25,560 --> 00:25:29,439 Speaker 2: So what you're saying is, if we're reading this book, 531 00:25:29,920 --> 00:25:32,280 Speaker 2: we're basically going to be like it's like sitting at 532 00:25:32,280 --> 00:25:35,560 Speaker 2: a car show where everybody's talking about their favorite Mustang 533 00:25:35,680 --> 00:25:37,200 Speaker 2: or car story, but in this case it'll be about 534 00:25:37,200 --> 00:25:39,399 Speaker 2: a Mustang, and you know how I got mine and 535 00:25:39,440 --> 00:25:40,840 Speaker 2: what I did with mine, and I went to high 536 00:25:40,840 --> 00:25:43,520 Speaker 2: school with this? Is it that kind of stuff? 537 00:25:43,560 --> 00:25:46,400 Speaker 6: Donald, Well, it's a little deeper than that, because all 538 00:25:46,440 --> 00:25:50,840 Speaker 6: of these stories are somehow significant and important to the 539 00:25:50,920 --> 00:25:56,840 Speaker 6: Mustang history. Like a gentleman at Ford design overnight after 540 00:25:56,880 --> 00:25:58,959 Speaker 6: he was asked by his boss to do it all 541 00:25:59,000 --> 00:26:03,359 Speaker 6: a sketch of a new Ford sporty car. Overnight, he 542 00:26:03,440 --> 00:26:05,400 Speaker 6: drew this sketch and took it in the next day, 543 00:26:05,600 --> 00:26:10,200 Speaker 6: and soon it became it had a long hood, short deck, 544 00:26:10,920 --> 00:26:15,280 Speaker 6: and it soon became a clay that Leiah Coca liked, 545 00:26:15,840 --> 00:26:19,640 Speaker 6: and pretty much from that sketch came the Mustang. 546 00:26:20,320 --> 00:26:23,159 Speaker 2: Can you imagine? Can you imagine the world? If Leiah 547 00:26:23,200 --> 00:26:25,960 Speaker 2: Coca hadn't backed that Mustang, it wouldn't have been built 548 00:26:26,040 --> 00:26:28,040 Speaker 2: because Leiah Cooca had the power at that time. 549 00:26:28,080 --> 00:26:31,800 Speaker 6: Correct, Yeah, but he had to he had to use 550 00:26:31,840 --> 00:26:35,119 Speaker 6: that power or his influence with with Henry Ford, because 551 00:26:35,160 --> 00:26:38,840 Speaker 6: Henry Ford was still kind of smarting from the Edsel 552 00:26:39,600 --> 00:26:43,119 Speaker 6: and did not want to devote time and energy and 553 00:26:43,200 --> 00:26:45,960 Speaker 6: money to a brand new car again like that and 554 00:26:46,240 --> 00:26:50,159 Speaker 6: and come up with him maybe another dud. But he 555 00:26:50,240 --> 00:26:57,680 Speaker 6: finally relented Leiah Cooca's enthusiasm and uh and gave him 556 00:26:57,720 --> 00:27:00,880 Speaker 6: just enough money to we ate this new car. 557 00:27:01,119 --> 00:27:05,080 Speaker 2: Yeah, and that first design stuck around. When did it 558 00:27:05,160 --> 00:27:06,840 Speaker 2: change sixty eight sixty nine? 559 00:27:06,880 --> 00:27:10,240 Speaker 6: I think, well, I got bigger sixty seven sixty eight 560 00:27:10,320 --> 00:27:12,800 Speaker 6: to accommodate the three ninety v eight, and then they 561 00:27:12,800 --> 00:27:15,960 Speaker 6: got bigger for sixty nine to seventy. But the interesting 562 00:27:16,000 --> 00:27:19,280 Speaker 6: thing is is that to this day, the twenty twenty 563 00:27:19,280 --> 00:27:25,960 Speaker 6: four Mustang still carries influence from those first sixty five 564 00:27:26,000 --> 00:27:30,040 Speaker 6: Mustang really like yeah, well the grill opening, the long hood, 565 00:27:30,160 --> 00:27:37,760 Speaker 6: short deck, the Cybe sculpturing, the just so many things 566 00:27:37,800 --> 00:27:41,000 Speaker 6: that so are relatable to the first Mustangs. 567 00:27:41,160 --> 00:27:42,959 Speaker 2: Yeah, and then it just never changed. 568 00:27:43,160 --> 00:27:47,720 Speaker 6: And then you look at how still a real world 569 00:27:47,760 --> 00:27:53,680 Speaker 6: drive two door four seat with a trump right, same. 570 00:27:53,440 --> 00:27:56,000 Speaker 2: Thing, yeah, same thing. You know, you think about the 571 00:27:56,000 --> 00:27:59,200 Speaker 2: way it's been, you know, shown in movies. Right, who 572 00:27:59,200 --> 00:28:01,920 Speaker 2: doesn't remember the the chase scene from Bullet I mean 573 00:28:02,000 --> 00:28:05,199 Speaker 2: probably probably the number one car chase scene in the movies. 574 00:28:05,640 --> 00:28:08,200 Speaker 2: And you know there was a Dodge charger in that scene, right, 575 00:28:08,400 --> 00:28:12,080 Speaker 2: Nobody ever talks about the Dodge charger, right, Not that 576 00:28:12,119 --> 00:28:14,760 Speaker 2: I don't like Dodge chargers. But that Mustang is what 577 00:28:14,840 --> 00:28:18,000 Speaker 2: they always refer to everybody because you see, you know, 578 00:28:18,160 --> 00:28:19,680 Speaker 2: Steve McQueen and the Mustang. 579 00:28:20,320 --> 00:28:22,359 Speaker 6: And that's one of the stories in my book really 580 00:28:22,400 --> 00:28:26,400 Speaker 6: about that bullet Mustang, which not only how it came 581 00:28:26,560 --> 00:28:29,679 Speaker 6: to be that that Ford got involved and provided a 582 00:28:29,720 --> 00:28:33,639 Speaker 6: couple of cars for the filming and Steve Seleine stef 583 00:28:33,880 --> 00:28:40,480 Speaker 6: sorry it's teeth, Steve McQueen rhymes. Anyway, Steve McQueen drove 584 00:28:40,560 --> 00:28:45,160 Speaker 6: the car and everybody slept through the movie until it 585 00:28:45,160 --> 00:28:49,600 Speaker 6: came time for that chase scene, and then it was 586 00:28:49,640 --> 00:28:55,479 Speaker 6: like the cars just disappeared. And the Mustang community always 587 00:28:55,480 --> 00:29:00,280 Speaker 6: wondered what happened to those two cars. And it was 588 00:29:00,320 --> 00:29:05,000 Speaker 6: only not many few years ago that had a writer 589 00:29:05,680 --> 00:29:08,280 Speaker 6: write a story from me. He had actually come in 590 00:29:08,360 --> 00:29:11,640 Speaker 6: contact with a man on the East Coast, and in 591 00:29:11,680 --> 00:29:15,480 Speaker 6: fact he might have been in New Jersey who owned 592 00:29:15,480 --> 00:29:18,560 Speaker 6: the car, but he was very secretive. He didn't anybody 593 00:29:18,600 --> 00:29:20,920 Speaker 6: to know about it. It was he had it. 594 00:29:21,000 --> 00:29:23,720 Speaker 2: Yeah, it was New Jersey. Donald, tell you what, Let's 595 00:29:23,720 --> 00:29:25,640 Speaker 2: pull over, take the pause, Let's leave the listeners hanging 596 00:29:25,720 --> 00:29:27,880 Speaker 2: right there. Let's let's let's finish this on the other 597 00:29:27,880 --> 00:29:29,320 Speaker 2: side of the break, I'm running ending of the car 598 00:29:29,360 --> 00:29:32,520 Speaker 2: Doctor here with Donald Farr talking about Ford Mustang sixty 599 00:29:32,600 --> 00:29:34,400 Speaker 2: years and we'll both be back right after this. Don't 600 00:29:34,400 --> 00:29:47,960 Speaker 2: go away and we are mad in the car Doctor 601 00:29:47,960 --> 00:29:52,360 Speaker 2: here with Donald Farr. Donald has written Ford Mustang sixty years. Donald. 602 00:29:52,400 --> 00:29:55,400 Speaker 2: When we pulled away for the pause, we were talking, 603 00:29:55,480 --> 00:29:57,880 Speaker 2: or you were actually relaying to us the story of 604 00:29:58,080 --> 00:30:01,000 Speaker 2: Bullet and Steve McQueen, the Steve McQueen Mustang, as we 605 00:30:01,240 --> 00:30:04,200 Speaker 2: sometimes referred to it as can you finish that for us? 606 00:30:04,440 --> 00:30:07,920 Speaker 6: Yes? And after the car appeared in the movie, it 607 00:30:08,040 --> 00:30:10,960 Speaker 6: was later acquired in the seventies by a gentleman named 608 00:30:10,960 --> 00:30:15,120 Speaker 6: Bob Kernan from New Jersey who kept the car pretty 609 00:30:15,200 --> 00:30:19,400 Speaker 6: much kept it hit away for many years. But fortunately 610 00:30:19,400 --> 00:30:22,200 Speaker 6: for the mustang community, he preserved the car, he knew 611 00:30:22,240 --> 00:30:25,800 Speaker 6: what it was, and when he passed away a few 612 00:30:25,880 --> 00:30:28,840 Speaker 6: years ago, it was inherited by his son, Sean Kernan, 613 00:30:30,280 --> 00:30:32,400 Speaker 6: who brought it out to show it to the world. 614 00:30:32,480 --> 00:30:39,680 Speaker 6: He debuted at a Ford press conference where they introduced 615 00:30:39,680 --> 00:30:44,320 Speaker 6: a twenty nineteen Bullet special edition, and so all of 616 00:30:44,360 --> 00:30:46,560 Speaker 6: a sudden it was everywhere. It was on the cover 617 00:30:46,600 --> 00:30:50,760 Speaker 6: of Haggardy magazine. It was all over websites. This bullet 618 00:30:50,800 --> 00:30:54,720 Speaker 6: Mustang survived and Sean in the end made the decision 619 00:30:54,800 --> 00:30:57,080 Speaker 6: to sell it, and it sold for three point four 620 00:30:57,160 --> 00:30:58,560 Speaker 6: million at Mika Maucchin. 621 00:30:58,760 --> 00:31:02,840 Speaker 2: Wow, Florida's that's a little bit more than that car 622 00:31:03,000 --> 00:31:03,760 Speaker 2: was new, right. 623 00:31:04,200 --> 00:31:06,520 Speaker 6: Oh a lot more than it was new. And it 624 00:31:06,640 --> 00:31:11,479 Speaker 6: still has the patina, It still has the look that 625 00:31:11,560 --> 00:31:14,680 Speaker 6: it had in the movie. It actually still you can 626 00:31:14,720 --> 00:31:17,440 Speaker 6: still see the glue where they stuck a little stick 627 00:31:17,480 --> 00:31:20,880 Speaker 6: around the tachometer. So Steve McQueen wittn't over revi it. 628 00:31:21,200 --> 00:31:24,720 Speaker 2: So do you do? You do you think that happens 629 00:31:24,760 --> 00:31:27,720 Speaker 2: a lot with actors and movies. Right, we could talk 630 00:31:27,760 --> 00:31:31,120 Speaker 2: stories all fair. Are they going to restore that? Are 631 00:31:31,160 --> 00:31:33,480 Speaker 2: they going to bring that back to original or just 632 00:31:33,560 --> 00:31:34,560 Speaker 2: leave it as it is? You know? 633 00:31:34,960 --> 00:31:39,080 Speaker 6: Well, still to this day, nobody knows who bought it. 634 00:31:39,080 --> 00:31:42,480 Speaker 6: It's anonymous bidd bought the car.

And we hear that it's going 636 00:31:47,280 --> 00:31:49,320 Speaker 6: to happen one day, it's going to be revealed. I 637 00:31:49,600 --> 00:31:53,760 Speaker 6: can't imagine that anyone would restore it. It is probably 638 00:31:53,760 --> 00:31:56,640 Speaker 6: worth more in its survivor condition than it would be 639 00:31:56,680 --> 00:31:58,240 Speaker 6: as one hundred point show card. 640 00:31:58,320 --> 00:32:02,320 Speaker 2: Yeah, sure, absolutely so, Donald.
