169 Genuine Certified Predetermined Collectibles, Theoretical Rallies

About this episode

Alex and Beck discuss various automotive topics including car certification, collectible cars, and upcoming rallies.

This week, Alex and Beck open with bathroom strategies for New Mexico's Philmont Scout Ranch, and then discuss long movies that are off-limits due to parenthood; how the GT350 really gots is name; Colin Comer, Howard Pardee, and the other special go-to guys for specific car models; the seedier habits of owners looking for car certification; why recent photos are the end-all, be-all for "correctness"; and when Shelby may have signed his own car. The pair move on to talk about their watchlists, in the process covering some great muscle on BaT, a refreshingly clean Porsche, and predetermined collectibility. They also touch on what prompts conservation in general, lament today's commitment levels for cross-country driving, expand on the idea of the Drum Brake Rally, and hint at a new kind of BaT event to come later in 2026.
