From Broken Wipers To A $235K Corvette

Recalls are supposed to be rare. This week proves they’re practically a genre of automotive news all by themselves. We start by sorting through a big stack of safety and compliance issues across major brands, from Ford truck and SUV problems like wiper arm failures and trailer braking or signal concerns to GM’s backup camera glitches and even scarier talk of rear wheel lockup risk on diesel trucks and SUVs. If you follow automotive recalls, new car reliability, or just want to know what could affect your daily drive, you’ll leave with a clearer picture of what’s happening and why it matters.

Then we switch gears into pure fun with “Guess What It Sold For,” pulling recent online sale results and putting our instincts to the test. We bounce from an affordable 1968 Chevrolet Corvair and a scruffy 1967 Mustang convertible to a classy 1946 Cadillac Series 62, a 1972 Dodge Challenger, and a 1993 Ford Ranger that somehow still brings real money. The collector car market is equal parts logic and emotion, and you can hear that push and pull in every guess.

The jaw-dropper is a 1963 Chevrolet Corvette split-window “Fuely” that sells for $235,000, which leads to a real conversation about numbers-matching originality, rare mechanical fuel injection, and why some cars stop being transportation and start becoming rolling history. We also hit a quick Texas cruise-in and car show calendar, plus two big culture notes: Scout’s delayed return under Volkswagen and Ford replacing Carol Shelby street names with modern nameplates.

Don Armstrong 0:05

It is the award-winning In Wheel Time Car Talk Show today coming to you from our Dual City Studios in Texas, USA. Just ahead, guess what it sold for? I don't know.

Jeff Dziekan 0:16

What did it sell for?

Don Armstrong 0:17

We're going to find out. Okay. How about recalls? Want to guess a manufacturer that's in there again this week?

Jeff Dziekan 0:23

I just did your recalls for you. Yeah, well, guess what?

Don Armstrong 0:26

There are more. Jeff's going to have the cruise in and events calendars. Yeah. You're going to have that? Oh, yeah, yeah. Okay, just want to make sure. And I'll bring you a couple of the stories we have left of those stories making news headlines this week. Howdy, along with Mike out of this world, Mars, we always need more Jeff Zeke, master studio and transmitter engineer, David Ainsley, who has nothing to do with the restream that we are currently using. And God.

Jeff Dziekan 0:56

But he wants to be.

Recall Roundup And Safety Gripes

Don Armstrong 0:57

No, I think he does. They need him, is what they need. I'm Don Armstrong. Glad you could join us. I'm not bitter. All right, so let's do the recall, shall we? You don't mind, do you, Mars?

Mike Marrs 1:07

No, sir.

Don Armstrong 1:08

Good.

Mike Marrs 1:10

We're going to re recall restream?

Don Armstrong 1:13

Yeah, we should. Every week it's something with those people.

Mike Marrs 1:18

Nah.

Don Armstrong 1:19

Yeah. Okay. Um, approximately 422,613 vehicles. Why do they say approximately if they're going to use that? The exact number, yeah. Give or take 400,000. Including 21 to 23 Ford Expedition, 21 to 23 Lincoln Navigator, 22 and 23 Ford F two fifty, three fifty, four fifty, five fifty, six hundred superduty trucks. Bingo. The wiper arms may break, resulting in failure and reduced visibility, increasing the risk of a crash. What's Martha have to say about that?

Mike Marrs 1:56

Wait a minute. So so they use the same wiper setup on all those trucks. Why don't they just say if you got a Ford truck, your wiper motor is going to die?

Don Armstrong 2:05

Pretty much. Only when it rains. No, no, it's not the wiper motor. Oh, okay, okay. It's not the wiper motor.

Jeff Dziekan 2:11

It's the arm.

Don Armstrong 2:12

The wiper arms may break. The arms. The thing actually hold the blade?

Mike Marrs 2:19

Yeah, yeah. Yeah. Minor metal. Aren't they metal? Yes, they are. Paper machine. But guess what? Excuse me.

Don Armstrong 2:27

Excuse me. Yeah. Okay, we've got range. A separate recall affects specific 21 to 26 F-150. 22 to 26 F-250. F600. 22 to 26 Maverick. 24 to 26 Ranger. 22 to 27 Lincoln Navigator Expedition Vehicles for a potential loss of trailer brake and turn signal lights. Just bring them all back. We made a mistake. I'm sorry. We built these things. We didn't mean it. Gosh. GM's not out of the picture. Chevy Malibu, 23 to 25, 270,000 vehicles recalled due to a rear view camera display issue, which may result in a blank screen or a frozen image. We know about that. Violating safety regulations.

Jeff Dziekan 3:17

Or if that's not enough. That's not safety though, is it?

Don Armstrong 3:20

It doesn't make any difference. It's being recalled. It is now. Or here's more diesel trucks and SUVs, 20 to 2022, 462,000 Silverado and GMC Sierra, 1500, 2500, 3500 pickup trucks, along with some SUVs, due to rear wheel locking risk.

Jeff Dziekan 3:42

Oh boy. That's that's dangerous.

Don Armstrong 3:44

Yeah, here you go at 70 miles an hour down the road. You're rolling coal, baby. Everything is looking just fine, right? And all of a sudden the back end locks up and the car is doing this, and into the ditch it goes and side swipes it's what are you kidding?

Mike Marrs 3:59

Can you imagine if you had a trailer on the tail end of it and that happened? Yeah.

Don Armstrong 4:03

Martha's driving? Oh. And let's not leave out the Chevy Corvette, shall we? 33,000 vets, including the E-Rays and the Z R1s, recall due to a software error that fails to warn drivers if the rear turn signal is broken.

unknown 4:21

Okay.

Don Armstrong 4:22

Oh, but we're not done. Front passenger airbag may not deploy properly after you've run into the wall at uh 70 miles an hour. Lexus LX 22 to 24. I I hate to ask how they know that. Well, apparently somebody got their eye poked out or something. Or crash. Instrument panel failure, VW Jetta and TAWs 25-year model. Um park outside. High voltage battery modules may short circuit and burn your house down for the Nissan Leaf of 2026. No wonder they're not selling any of those. And it's it cuts it too. When you take a balloon, it goes. It doesn't even get that full. It just goes uh Chrysler Pacifica in Voyager 2022 to 26. Incorrect weld may cause a seat bracket failure for the lucid gravity 25 to 26. Loose wheel bolts, I guess you've got to find that out before you actually get recalled on it. For the Mercedes-Benz G-Wagon. Oh man. 580 EV for 2025. Find time to leave me loose wheel. Well, so here's another one. Airbag may not deploy as intended on every Mercedes that there was ever built. 2026 model.

Jeff Dziekan 5:49

Including the 2029s.

Don Armstrong 5:52

Yeah, or they have a vision of building.

Jeff Dziekan 5:54

Yeah.

Don Armstrong 5:55

There's all of that. All right. Well, that was fun. Let's do something that's actually really fun today. Are the boys uh what? Is uh Heitzman uh here? Is is George Skelton with us? Well, they were earlier. Yeah, well, we probably lost them in that all the mayhem of restream not to do. Do what? They're the boys are rebooting. They're rebooting. That's right, because for frozen objects. All right, so let's just do it by ourselves, shall we?

Mike Marrs 6:22

Yeah, they'll be here. They'll be here.

unknown 6:24

All right.

Guess The Auction Sale Prices

Don Armstrong 6:24

See, there's Iceman right now. Oh, thank God. Okay, so here we go. Our first car up for bid. These actually sold on Heming Sold car on the on the internet. 1968 Chevrolet Corvair. I'm familiar with the Corvair. You are you are. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I've had a couple of them. What year was yours? Well, I had two. I had a 65 originally. Uh it was the first year model of the two models that were built. And uh it was great. It had four one-barrel carburetors, which were impossible to tune, and a four-speed uh manual transmission, and that car would haul donkey.

Jeff Dziekan 7:08

Okay, this one I'm gonna go 13. No, I'm gonna go twelve. Cutting back this year. Jeff says 34. Really? Wow. God, Jeff. It's a charge 1399999.

Don Armstrong 7:18

Okay, well, very good. Well, it sold for$9,300. Okay. A bargain at any price. Would I buy another one? Sure. Nope. Here's one.

SPEAKER_05 7:28

Very affordable.

Don Armstrong 7:28

The 1967 Ford Mustang. It looks like it's got uh wheel covers on it, white wall tires. Is it a convertible? Yeah, it's a convertible. It is 67 Ford Mustang. What would that sell for?

Jeff Dziekan 7:42

I don't like the way they got those rear pipes out back then.

Mike Marrs 7:45

Got a rear gotta be eight.

Jeff Dziekan 7:47

Yeah. Okay. I'm gonna go. I'm gonna go fifteen.

unknown 7:53

Fifteen.

Mike Marrs 7:55

Per convertible?

unknown 7:56

Yeah.

Don Armstrong 7:58

Doesn't look like it's well, I know. Look at the seats all messed up and stuff. So it's it's a little raggedy.

Mike Marrs 8:03

So Heitzman's right in there with you at 16,000. 16,000.

Jeff Dziekan 8:08

That top looks new because it's got that line in the back glass. That's right. Because it's been sitting on the shelf for 70 years.

Mike Marrs 8:14

And George says 15,999.

Don Armstrong 8:19

We all are in the same ballpark. Yeah, absolutely. Now this is Jeff's car, the next one up. Oh man. This is a 19 and 46. 46 Cadillac Series 62. This thing is so wheat. Golly. Huh? Oh, yeah, definitely. Oh, yeah. Now, this to me, I can see Doris Day riding in this. Or Marilyn Monroe. No, Doris Day.

Mike Marrs 8:46

I can see Doris Day, yeah. Marilyn Monroe needs a sportier car.

Jeff Dziekan 8:50

I'm going to say uh, well, it's got a top down, so maybe it would be her.

Don Armstrong 8:54

This thing is super it's supreme, okay? 42. Really? 42? Jeff says 42.

Mike Marrs 9:00

What do the boys say? Heitzman says 41. There you go, Jeffrey. And uh George says 23.

Don Armstrong 9:08

23. Well, um, except for George, you all are pretty close.$45,150. We're getting better at this point. That thing is sweet. Can you imagine that? That's a nice car. I know. Can you imagine what it rides like? But uh, yeah. All right, moving on. Is the 1972 Dodge Challenger. Now, before you get all upside uh out of sight and uptight and all that, um I think that this is not anything that you would perhaps think it's a big high horsepower car, because it's not. It's a 72 Dodge Challenger. How much? It could be a clone.

Mike Marrs 9:51

Oh, yeah, because it doesn't say if it's RTs or whatever, whatever.

Jeff Dziekan 9:56

That's why I'm saying I'm gonna go 19. 19. And that's probably high.

Don Armstrong 10:02

The boys say they're cycling.

Mike Marrs 10:06

They're looking. They're calculating. I was looking to see checking the bank account. So um George says and uh Jeff says 21. I was trying to see if it was an automatic or what. All right, so you want to know what it sold for? Yeah, yeah.

Don Armstrong 10:25

23, 625. So Hey Tunes close. Yes, he was. I could see giving 23 for something like that. Yeah, yeah. I don't know whether it's a rust bucket or not, but whatever. It'd be a driver. Here's yours, Mars. Yeah! A 1993 Ford Ranger with a with a camper top on it.

Mike Marrs 10:50

Cindy cab, got it, got got the little cab thing on it.

Jeff Dziekan 10:53

I like the steering wheel grip, the the roller bar there, the the ball.

Mike Marrs 10:57

No, it's a necker knob.

Jeff Dziekan 11:00

Okay. That's what you young kids are calling that.

Don Armstrong 11:04

That's not what we called it, but that's okay.

Jeff Dziekan 11:06

What's that hanging from the mirror?

Don Armstrong 11:08

Uh some sort of a spiritual food. No, it looks like a rabbit foot food. Good luck, Charms. 93 Ford Ranger. How much with the camper top?

Jeff Dziekan 11:16

Jeff says seven. Jeff says 17. You know, uh, gosh. I'm gonna go 14.

Mike Marrs 11:23

George says 79. George is not impressed with 7,999.

Don Armstrong 11:28

George would never I'd never you wouldn't even catch George anything close to this. He would run the other way, and I don't blame him. It sold for$15,000.

Jeff Dziekan 11:39

That was that was in the market.

Don Armstrong 11:40

Yeah, somebody's proud of it.

Jeff Dziekan 11:42

Yeah.

Don Armstrong 11:42

All right, next up, I don't know whose car this would be. Yours. This is no, it's not mine. A 62 Chrysler 300 non-letter series. Oh, man. This thing is as ugly as you can get. And rare. That's only one step above the Edsel. But you know what? I would I would actually drive that. I know you would. And you know what? You'd be you'd be that'd be perfect for you.

Jeff Dziekan 12:04

I would get out of the highway and drive slow in the fast lane. I would wait for somebody to plow onto the back of it. Just uh just to make you nice.

Mike Marrs 12:14

Can you imagine cleaning the bugs off the front of it?

Don Armstrong 12:17

No, I can't. Yeah. Especially during love bug season. Yeah, yeah.

Mike Marrs 12:21

I got a few on the truck, and it's like ugh.

Jeff Dziekan 12:24

I'm gonna go I'm gonna go ten. It's either gonna be ten or eleven. Everybody says nine. Everybody else says nine?

Mike Marrs 12:30

George says nine nine nine nine.

Don Armstrong 12:32

Okay. It sold for 16,275. Friends, you have got to be really sick and tired of today's stuff to buy something.

Jeff Dziekan 12:41

Maybe they collect it. Maybe they can collect it.

Mike Marrs 12:43

It does have the push button shifter though in the dash.

Don Armstrong 12:45

You know what? It doesn't make any difference. It's too damned ugly to push anything. Not if you tub it out. Tub it out and put an LS in it. Yeah. Now here's one. Now this kind of surprised me, but now I want you to consider the year model. This is a 1999. Now we used to call this a Volkswagen bus. At some point they changed the name to it to a Volkswagen Combi. C K-O-M-B-I. Okay. It looks like a Volkswagen bus to me, but it's not. 99 COMBI. It's got a sliding door on the side of it. This is it's just wrong.

Jeff Dziekan 13:22

I'm gonna go a little high on this and go twenty-one, but I think that's way too high.

Don Armstrong 13:28

Then why do you go with it?

Jeff Dziekan 13:29

I'm I've just got the number, I got a feeling. Jeff's probably closer there.

Don Armstrong 13:33

Uh Jeff Heitzman says 13,000.

Jeff Dziekan 13:36

I'm gonna go 16 to 21 in that in that range. Oh, range? You can't do ranges.

Don Armstrong 13:41

On this one, I can't. I'm allowed. So, well, everybody's in the range. Uh this one sold for 14,490. I was gonna say that.

Mike Marrs 13:52

He was trying he was narrowing his range down for that.

Jeff Dziekan 13:56

They call me ranger.

Don Armstrong 13:57

All right. And finally, we leave today's sold car roundup with this one.

Jeff Dziekan 14:04

Clunkered.

Don Armstrong 14:04

It's a fuely, it's a fuely split window 1963 Chevrolet Corvette. Now, if this is numbers matching, and it of course it is a Fuely, so that in itself is rare.

Mike Marrs 14:18

Okay, which means it's got the four-speed.

Don Armstrong 14:21

Um yes. So it's got the four-speed manual transmission. Um and I'm gonna tell you right now factory wheel covers. It's it's uh expensive. Those look like knock off. 57.

Jeff Dziekan 14:38

Yeah.

Don Armstrong 14:39

I th I say that based on what I see, this is a numbers matching, all original. It's probably it's probably it's Jeffrey. 11.

Jeff Dziekan 14:49

What?

Don Armstrong 14:51

Well, you know, they smoke different things down there in the lake.

SPEAKER_01 14:55

He's he's been up there in NASA and he's a little low on oxygen. The 63 split window coupe.

Don Armstrong 15:03

Oh my gosh. Numbers matching, would be my guess. How much? 57. 57. And what are the boys saying?

Jeff Dziekan 15:11

Jeff said 11.

SPEAKER_01 15:13

Yeah, George is high at 35999. And George is 35.

Don Armstrong 15:18

Well, he's only missed it by$200,000 because it sold for$235,000.

SPEAKER_01 15:24

I I would never have dreamed that. I mean, I figured it was high, but not anything like that. Oof.

Don Armstrong 15:30

Well, listen, when you got when you've got something like that, that doesn't surprise me. All it takes is one person. Yep. Yeah, one person that wants it. Yep. Somebody that wants it.

Mike Marrs 15:42

So that's this week's that could be a museum or anything else, you know.

Jeff Dziekan 15:48

I don't think it'd be a daily driver, though. No, God, no, no, no. Parade, maybe, stuff like that.

Don Armstrong 15:53

That would be an enclosed trailer if you took it anywhere. I'd be afraid to drive it anywhere.

Mike Marrs 15:57

Uh yeah, because I mean, even in a trailer, if somebody run a red light and the thought, boof. You could be in big trouble with that.

Don Armstrong 16:03

You gotta have it insured. And you'd have it insured at what the value of it is. But the the sad part about that is okay, you see you get your buddy back. But they don't make those cars anymore. No, no. That's the sad part about it.

SPEAKER_05 16:16

You wouldn't get the obviously get well and it'll never be the same.

Where To Watch And Listen

Don Armstrong 16:21

It would never be the same. And and listen, that that's the saddest part to me. Forget let's take the price away for a moment, and what you've got there is a factory original 1963, split window coupe with a four-speed manual transmission and fuel injection. How many do you think they made? They didn't make that many, uh, first of all, because of the fuel injection. Right. The neighbors' brothers and uh I don't know Kenny. I think it I I don't know whether it's Kenny or his brother. One of them people sent them that fuel injection system because that's mechanical fuel injection. It's not like today's fuel injection. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. So it was all mechanical and you had to take this thing apart and you had to know what you were doing because there are lots of parts inside of it. And they screwed up all the time. That's why they didn't offer it for a very long period of time. But it was GM's uh original fuel injection. It's it's a beautiful car, and I'm a huge split window coop fan. But man, that's a lot of money. All right, let's take a break, shall we? Uh the In Wheel Time car talk show uh reminds you that uh we have this show live on the air 10 to noon every Saturday. Uh if you can get us.

Don Armstrong 19:31

Yeah. We know what that is. It starts with an S, I believe, doesn't it?

SPEAKER_00 19:34

Don Armstrong 19:39

Mark Mars, do you ever have a list that that you hang on to and you don't do anything with until the last minute? No, I work on them all the time.

Mike Marrs 19:48

I I may not finish the list by the time it needs to be finished, but Kathy makes lists too.

Don Armstrong 19:53

Don Armstrong 20:00

SPEAKER_01 20:04

It was David.

Don Armstrong 20:05

Was it David?

SPEAKER_01 20:06

Yeah, yeah. So there you go. But he wasn't on the list.

Don Armstrong 20:10

You know what? I I wish that I I wish that we'd just turn all of this stuff over to David and just let him direct it from wherever he is. Not that he has time to do it, but uh He doesn't know enough to do that. Are you kidding? He probably designed it.

Jeff Dziekan 20:27

He's gonna whoop me. Yeah.

Production of the Traveler SUV is expected to begin in September of 28, while the Terra pickup output is slated to launch March 2030, according to Auto Forecast Solutions.
