    The window tint darkness isn't what keeps the car cool and the interior protected. Its the type of window tint film. I have nano ceramic window tint. All the way around on my vehicle and it makes a night and day difference in temperatures. And my tint is very light because i wanted the protection, not the darker tint so i can see at night driving. I would go with a 50% tint all the way around on this car. It wont be too dark or that noticeable to ruin the look and you stay cool and interior protected.

    You said the '57 was the first car that your fiancée really approved of. That alone is a reason to keep it and get rid of the Viper. The Viper is a niche weekender or track type of car, while the '57 is all class. You already have plans for the '57 on Power Tour.. you're not doing that with the Viper. You scored great on both, but I'd sell the Viper in a heartbeat.

  • @cdoggyish
    @cdoggyish Месяц назад +6

    Randy, this shouldn't have even been a question. The 57 BelAir is by far the better of the two. Yeah Vipers are fast, yeah they're perty, but as you've said countless times, they're not comfortable, are a seasonal car, are incredibly expensive to maintain, and I think, when you line them up with other cars of it's like, do not stand out. The Bel Air is a timeless beauty, is very comfortable to drive, it can be driven year round if needed (I'd personally save it from harsh winters), turns more heads than the Viper, is limitless in it's customization, parts pricing is much less (for customizing), and was more cherished by you I believe than the Viper is. I make that last statement after watching your face and listening to your prideful talk about owning the Chevy. Side by side at any show, the Chevy would draw bigger crowds. You will own that Chevy Bel Air till you're old and gray, that's if you don't let Nick inherit it when he's financially able to take care of that beauty.
    Sell the Viper, it's not even comparable to a 57 Chevy Bel Air as good as the one you have.

    Here’s an idea. You can set up a schedule for what day you drive a certain car. For example, Mondays and Wednesdays it’s the Belair. Tuesdays and Thursdays it’s the Viper. The weekend is the Tesla.

    57 Belair, comfortable, excellent for a long trip, and a huge following. It is the car everyone thinks of when talking about the 1950's. Viper, noisy, uncomfortable and not suited for a long trip. Cool, but no huge following. There is a clear winner here Randy :-). Keep that Belair!

    Keep them both , the viper will appreciate with time , the solution to this is to store them , at the time stamp 20 33 you are facing a shop at the crossroads that was for rent earlier this year and looks as if it still is , some cars appreciate in value ,think of this as your pension scheme ,or investment scheme ,invest in what you know not some shares or bank . plus this will help convince the other half .

      I wish he'd done that with quite a number of the cars he's had. I might not yet be twice Randy's age but I promise you feel pangs for cars you once had and wish you still had now. My (quite extensive) list is topped by an Alfa GT1600 Junior which I bought for £400 in 1981 and would now be worth £45k, plus a few Lotuses. I also have a few under the heading "The ones that got away", but I can put those down to fate. Randy can't do that because almost none of them get away.
      Having said that, we're all made differently and Randy does seem to want to *experience* them as much as owning them. Maybe more so.

To which I really believe they're all beautiful cars. I however want the ones that you don't see often like 58 Chevy's 59 Cadillac Elderado Convertible I Love the rarer ones. Like 59 Chevy Impalas you see these a lot in California like LA but not here up North around Maine.

    The 57 chevy I know you'll keep for the long term, and what I would do is more then likely not going to be what you'll end up doing, but if it was me, the vehicles that you might want to keep for the long term, get the ram, get the cars on a trailer, haul them back to the house and park them back at the house and so you can have both the viper, 57 chevy and your shop space for vehicles that you won't be that attached to, but I do figure you'll end up selling the viper anyway which is completely up to you, but what I suggested is just what I would do, either way I loved the video and whatever happens we'll still be watching regardless, love the video!!

    I'd definitely keep the Bel Air - you can get a Viper anytime. Incidentally, what might be happening with those carbs is that you're not getting enough fuel squirt to stop it leaning out when you mash the throttle. I'm not familiar with American carburettors but this is a thing on Dell'Ortos and Weber carbs, though with them it's usually a rubber diaphragm that has persished. That perishing can get much worse with eco fuels with ethanol in them. The symptom with this is a loss of power soon after the initial acceleration after flooring the throttle. Power then returns as the revs build up.
