    409: Building Modern Legends at Vigilante 4x4 with Daniel van Doveren

    What happens when vintage American steel meets modern performance engineering? This week on The Collector Car Podcast, I sit down with Daniel van Doveren of Vigilante 4x4 to talk about the booming world of high-end Jeep restomods. Vigilante has quietly become one of the most respected names in the space, transforming classic Willys and early Jeep models into fully reengineered machines with modern drivetrains, refined interiors, and show-stopping craftsmanship. Daniel shares how Vigilante 4x4 approaches restoration versus reinvention, what collectors are really looking for in today's vintage 4x4 market, and why properly executed restomods are earning serious respect alongside traditional concours restorations. We also dive into: The rising demand for classic SUVs and 4x4s What separates a high-quality restomod from a quick build The economics behind six-figure custom Jeeps Why early utility vehicles are becoming lifestyle statements If you've ever wondered whether restomods belong in serious collections — this episode may change your perspective.

    405: Ferraris Results In Arizona & Racing with the Stiglette, Joey Andrews

    Joey Andrews doesn't just race cars—he does it anonymously, fearlessly, and flat-out fast. Known on track as "The Stiglette," Joey has built a reputation for precision driving, competitive racing, and pushing machinery to its limits without ever making it about ego. In this episode, we go behind the helmet to talk about how the Stiglette persona was born, what it takes to compete at a high level, and why discipline, data, and seat time matter more than hype. From racing strategy to mental toughness—and what it's like to let lap times speak louder than words—this is a rare look at a driver who lets the driving do the talking. Whether you're a hardcore motorsports fan or just love stories about people operating at the top of their game, this one's all gas, no fluff. 🔗 Learn more: https://www.thestiglette.com/ #TheStiglette #JoeyAndrews #ArizonaRacing #WomenInMotorsports #RaceCarDriver #MotorsportsPodcast #TrackFocused #LapTimesOnly 🙏 Thank You to Our Sponsors A big thank you to the partners who help make the podcast possible: Discover Once – Simplifying the way enthusiasts document, manage, and protect their collector cars 👉 https://www.discoveronce.com NCM Insurance – Specialty insurance solutions built specifically for collector vehicles 👉 https://www.ncminsurance.com Please support the brands that support the collector car community.

    404: Inside Helderburg Defenders with Founder Paul Potratz

    In this episode, I sit down with the founder of Helderburg Defenders to go deep into what truly sets these Defenders apart: uncompromising build quality, craftsmanship, and an almost obsessive attention to detail. We talk about what it takes to elevate a Land Rover Defender beyond restoration and into the realm of a truly bespoke machine—where every component, material choice, and finish is intentional. From chassis and suspension upgrades to interiors that feel more like a tailored suit than a truck, Helderburg Defenders are built to be driven, admired, and endured. This conversation covers: The philosophy behind building Defenders the right way Why quality, durability, and engineering discipline matter more than trends How Helderburg balances authenticity with modern performance and reliability What separates a true high-end Defender build from the rest of the market If you care about craftsmanship, long-term ownership, and vehicles built with integrity rather than shortcuts, this episode is a must-listen.

    403: Yellow Ferraris, Rainbow Specs & the White GTO

    Record prices. Wild color combinations. And a white GTO that quietly told the real story. In this episode, I break down the Bachman Ferrari sale—why so many cars shattered records, why the boldest (and loudest) specs seemed to win, and what this means for the broader Ferrari market going forward. We talk about how extreme colors and one-off specifications are fueling a new wave of Tailor Made Ferraris, often with investment hopes attached, and why that strategy doesn't always end the way people expect. I also dig into the surprises: softness in cars like the Superamerica, Dinos, and Daytonas, the continued strength of Scuderia, Stradale, and Aperta models, and why the white Ferrari 330 LM / 250 GTO selling for $35 million wasn't as shocking as it looked—unless you weren't paying attention. Finally, I connect the dots to what this could mean for upcoming auctions, including RM Sotheby's Arizona, and why fundamentals still matter—even in a market that sometimes feels like a rainbow-painted Skittles car just crossed the block. 🙏 Thank You to Our Sponsors A big thank you to the partners who help make the podcast possible: Discover Once – Simplifying the way enthusiasts document, manage, and protect their collector cars 👉 https://www.discoveronce.com NCM Insurance – Specialty insurance solutions built specifically for collector vehicles 👉 https://www.ncminsurance.com Please support the brands that support the collector car community. #Ferrari #CollectorCars #FerrariMarket #AuctionResults #BachmanCollection #TailorMadeFerrari #FerrariGTO #RMSothebys #CarCollecting #AutomotivePodcast #ClassicCars #Supercars #FerrariLife Do you need help buying or selling your collector car?  Contact Greg directly at Greg@TheCollectorCarPodcast.com,  GStanley@RMSothebys.com or Greg.Stanley@SothebysMotorsport.com.

    402: Preserving the Craft - Inside Hahn Auto Restoration with Amy Hahn Beck

    Great restorations don't happen by accident—they're the result of patience, judgment, and an uncompromising respect for history. This conversation features Amy Hahn Beck, owner of Hahn Auto Restoration, one of the most respected restoration shops in the collector-car world. With decades of experience restoring important automobiles to the highest standards, Amy offers a behind-the-scenes look at what true craftsmanship really means. We discuss what separates a good restoration from a great one, how originality and authenticity factor into long-term value, and why the best restorations are as much about restraint as they are about execution. Amy also shares insights into working with discerning collectors, concours expectations, and how restoration philosophy has evolved alongside the modern collector market.
