I met Chuck Beck and watched him build some of the cars in his shop. Amazing guy and so kind and personable. I remember one time I visited with him, he had just finished a car and rolled it outside for the first time. His expression was priceless.
Chuck lives around the Atlanta area for some years now. I SEE him fairly regularly. My favorite time was the ride in his 904 outside of the Road Atlanta track. One of the quickest Carr I have ever been in.
Chuck gave me a ride in a 550 with a 125HP VW motor when he was living and based in Victorville, California. He mashed the throttle in the driveway and never let up. We crossed a RR crossing on Highway 138 at over 100MPH and left the ground. I knew his background in racing and as Carroll Shelby's lead mechanic at LeMans so I wasn't as worried as I should have been. I remember Chuck mentioning his 14 year old son getting into trouble by driving one of his 550s to school instead of taking the bus.
That look of genuine joy. I know that look. The first time I got a motorcycle over 35 mph, I could not stop cheesing. Ear to ear smiles and laughs. Tyler is loving his new spider!
TBF if he let him drive off I think he'd lose the "mechanic's lien" on the car and the bill would just be another unsecured debt if Hoovie went into bankruptcy or something.
@@ekw555 The Ernst Fuhrmann engine had a similar boxer "Rumble", but it was air-cooled and had a very distinct sound from any modern Subaru engine. There's no mistaking it. Still, this sounds pretty good.
The original one sounded more like a sewing machine with an aggressive cam, similar to the whooshing and clattering sounds you get with a Beatle. This just sounds like Subaru with a exhaust, which isn't bad thing, but they definitely sound different.
Lmao @ the people who think they sound similar. It's not even nuances, comparing the sound of an air-cooled Porsche flat-4 to a Subaru flat-4 is like comparing a flathead Ford V8 to an LS. They hardly sound similarly, besides the fluttering of 8 cylinders pulsing away.
Talking about health: while I’m glad for Hoovie that he’s got his first shot, please be careful with people you interact with that aren’t vaccinated. Vaccination does not mean you aren’t covid contagious, you just don’t get sick anymore (or very lightly). Other than that: great content as always 👍
cable drawn shifters are a common thing for a 550 and the shifting becomes very crisp, I'm a private mechanic for somebody who has 2 of these one is a 2180cc vw engine with about 160 hp makes any v8 sound quiet, and one with a Subaru engine with about 300transaxle
The early wagoneers had little screws, and plugs . Holds the curves and ends. That 360 will wake up with headers, intake and holley. Good distributor helps a lot. Mileage goes from 12 to 17,double the power.
What's awesome about that 'repli-porsche' is that it sounds so much like a stereotypical 'sports car'. Like when you sit at your desk and make the noise of a sports car, this car is it. Very cool.
Speaking of 12 volts to the choke on that Grand Wagoneer, that circuit isnt protected and its known for catching fire if it shorts out. Not a bad idea to add a fuse to that orange wire going to the 'carb emissions.'
i am so glad that hoovie does all these cars because its hard enough to just keep one on the road over here these days .... $10,000 service and repair bill for a few cars wow ...
Money doesn't buy happiness it allows you to acquire an object that gives you happiness. If the car is what gives you happiness it doesn't matter how you acquire it as long as you acquire it.
That's Hoovie. He picks up a car he has been waiting for and immediately trashes it on his first drive, and then limps back to the Wizard saying, "oh, oh goodness."
@@arzheus1313 He said it was a reasonably high mileage engine (I think 150,000mi) and he had "the wizard" go over it. If pulling an engine like that I would have them at least do the full top end(s), HG, timing belt, water pump and the like. It's not like they just transplanted it straight from the Impreza (?) into the Beck.
@@readmycomment3157 I am certainly not an expert but as far as I understand it if you call an ambulance they will take to the hospital and send you a bill afterwards.
Suggestion and a question: Get a better seat belt. You won't survive an accident, but it will be easier to locate your body parts. Why did you not spec a Subby transaxle? They come as both 5 and 6 speeds and are a great match for the engine. They all come with limited slip differentials also. They are easy to modify from all wheel drive to two wheel drive.
He already mentioned he prepaid for some of the work already. And yes, these are long projects. But, it seems clear that Hoovie understands the Wizard's clients who need their daily drivers come first. Also, many times they sit because they're waiting on obscure, hard to locate parts or parts sent off to be rebuilt.
ONLY $4000 for the Beck conversion? Lot of custom fitting to get that done and it fits perfectly with the radiator in front -- which is a better location than most rear or mid engine cars. And now you have a good rebuilt water cooled setup with a better weight distribution than the original, and more power. I don't know what you paid for the non-running 356, but the conversion was a great deal. Of all your crazy cars, that's one I wish I could have.

If you need more proof of this, pay a visit to the Wizard's home and ask him if you can use one of the 9 full bathrooms in his home.
And at those prices... Ivy league! :P
Not just that. Wizard had to upgrade the garage and gets regular free advertizing. Hoovie is not the only one bringing high value cars in.
For the amount of money you're giving the Wizard he could at least put out a bowl of complimentary mints or something.
Or a reach around at least😆

Smelling salts perhaps...
Urinal mints.

You think it’s only one kid of one agent
He said he used to own a used car lot. I’m sure he kept his license so he has a blanket insurance policy on all his cars.
Plus the Wizard's kids. :)
Now you need a leather aviators helmet, round glasses/goggles and a white scarf.
And a sheepskin lined leather bomber jacket.

i am so glad that hoovie does all these cars because its hard enough to just keep one on the road over here these days .... $10,000 service and repair bill for a few cars wow ...
The classic fall down after seeing the bill i think that was one of the bigger bills seen on this channel though
Murcialago was over $15k iirc.
Imagine if Wizard had said, "Hoovie, your card was declined!"
Looks like an AMEX Black......they don't get declined.......No limit, as lo g as Hoovie pays up every month!!
@@robertsturtevant6185 Its a jokeeeee
I was thinking the same thing!
@@robertsturtevant6185 Aren't Amex Black cards invitation only if you earn over $1mil a year? They cost $15k a year in fees.
I was waiting for him to pull in to get gas and have the pump decline his card....
Hoovie just be dropping $10 grand like it's peasant money while SoundCloud rappers still flex bottles of Henny. $10k hands over the card 😂
"Money doesn't buy happiness."
You wanna bet!
Not needing it as much is.
But it DOES buy hooptieness!
While money may not BUY happiness,long term leases ARE on the table.
Money doesn't buy happiness it allows you to acquire an object that gives you happiness. If the car is what gives you happiness it doesn't matter how you acquire it as long as you acquire it.
@@alexnather7614 money doesn't buy you happiness, but a powerboat does!
... Until you can't afford to run it anymore...
That's Hoovie. He picks up a car he has been waiting for and immediately trashes it on his first drive, and then limps back to the Wizard saying, "oh, oh goodness."
Yep. Bag driving a fresh rebuild with 1 mile on the odo. Must have been an Amex Black Card he handed over...
Not that much that can go wrong though, this was a known working engine from a running car, so not that fresh
@@arzheus1313 He said it was a reasonably high mileage engine (I think 150,000mi) and he had "the wizard" go over it. If pulling an engine like that I would have them at least do the full top end(s), HG, timing belt, water pump and the like. It's not like they just transplanted it straight from the Impreza (?) into the Beck.
@@ShmuelWeintraub he said he did no?
"Do I need to call you an ambulance?" Wizard, the guy already owes you 10k, no need to put the man another 1500 in the hole lmao
Why would he have to pay for an ambulance?

@@nathanielwarren5507 i don't get it, they have to pay for an ambulance? What? What if you're too poor, do you just die? Wtf
@@readmycomment3157 I am certainly not an expert but as far as I understand it if you call an ambulance they will take to the hospital and send you a bill afterwards.
@@nathanielwarren5507 wow im shocked , I literally couldn't live like that
Hoovie in February: "... only $1 million."
Hoovie in March: *Faints over 10 grand*
Right? This guy must have spent 100s of thousands in repairs by now. What's another 10K.
Reminds me of my millionaire Dad, grabbing at his heart, after seeing the check for dinner
You don't get rich by throwing away money
@@cnat_sepll No, but you would think the guy would be aware of how expensive repairs can be by now.
That's a steal for the work he got. It's not even a big number for a days work in a modern shop.
Welll, 10k for all that work is a very very nice prize!
Suggestion and a question:
Get a better seat belt. You won't survive an accident, but it will be easier to locate your body parts.
Why did you not spec a Subby transaxle? They come as both 5 and 6 speeds and are a great match for the engine. They all come with limited slip differentials also. They are easy to modify from all wheel drive to two wheel drive.
The Wizard and Magic Mike are the most patient mechanics.
Having a client with a $10k bill that can easily pay it on the spot helps, I bet. :-)
@@terryorcutt8739 yeah but that work was done in like a 1 year period. Meanwhile they are dying of hunger?
@@619guy202 - I'm pretty sure the Wizard bills him monthly for ongoing projects. Seen it in watching so many Hoovie videos!
He already mentioned he prepaid for some of the work already. And yes, these are long projects. But, it seems clear that Hoovie understands the Wizard's clients who need their daily drivers come first. Also, many times they sit because they're waiting on obscure, hard to locate parts or parts sent off to be rebuilt.
Yes! We've all been waiting for this video!!!
Edit: Just finished the intro, maybe not...
ONLY $4000 for the Beck conversion? Lot of custom fitting to get that done and it fits perfectly with the radiator in front -- which is a better location than most rear or mid engine cars. And now you have a good rebuilt water cooled setup with a better weight distribution than the original, and more power. I don't know what you paid for the non-running 356, but the conversion was a great deal. Of all your crazy cars, that's one I wish I could have.
the last time he dissed the Miata his engine blew, haven't you learned yet hoover?
Well, watched the entire video. Made my contribution to the $10,400 bill.
