Maco really botched the maybach .. Geeeshh

"Skilled labor isn't cheap / Cheap labor isn't skilled" So true.

A paint shop letting a car go out the door like that says everything you need to know. Run!

Headlights go _uuuueeeehhhha_ there we go!

If MAACO lets that out the door as "good to go" it's pretty scary to think of all the other corners they cut

Giirrrrtttthhhyyyyyy!!!

I'm pleased to see Stevie Wonder got his dream job painting at MAACOs in the end.

....aaaaand there’s the Maaco we know and love.

That paintjob and misalignment on the Maybach is absolutely horrendous. I tend to be positive in the comment section and not criticize based on a video. Unavoidable this time. Would not pay a single dime for this job, sorry to whoever did this - a horse with hoves could do a better job in a garage.

Ill admit maaco did a pretty good job on your other vehicles but the quality of that maybach paintwork is rough especially around the edge of the back door panel

Oh damn, Maaco had to remind themselves they where Maaco.

“The 2 tone looks fantastic” Hide the pain Hoovie

I love how Hoovie spends time in Florida and Georgia filming in the sun and returns with absolutely no tan to speak of.

When you get new tires, get a set of red line radials to complete the vintage look.

That Maybach two tone paint job is hideous!!!

'66 Vette with a 427, yeah I'd say it's something special :-)

“There’s been some issues that popped up” The story of Hoovies life.

I'm shocked Car Wizard has time to do anyone else's cars with all of Hoovie's projects.

“Maybach just needs a few little odds and ends”, right after he talks about all sort of electrical issues on a German car. No big deal.

Who needs a radio when you have the sweet music of a big block, replacing the caliper is so simple, even bleeding it is not hard to do by yourself, all the best and good luck with it, Rick

I have a 66 - 427 and you MUST have the factory side pipes! Its how the "Internal Combustion Gods" intended. The early Ferrari V12's "on song" and the Corvette 427 BB with side pipes make the best engine sounds of all time.

The car is an Icon, you did right keeping it period correct.

The minute he drove away to gohome , the Wizard was sitting at his desk swinging on his chair and lightly tapping his desk with a pencil whilst chatting to Mrs wizard on the phone..."i bet you it will be back within a week ".....

I hope Hoovie keeps this one for a while. It's a beautiful car.

Hoovies cars spend 80% of the time at the wizards, 19% at home and 1% on the road.

I like the way Tyler smiles when the Wizard tells him about the bill. Priceless!

Tyler, you should let Regular Car Reviews do a review on this car. They've done every Corvette except the C2.

This is my dads absolute dream car, ever since I can remember he has talked about the 66 corvette sting ray of his dreams, being that I’m almost done with college he says he’s close to getting his, he keeps calling it project 66 he was born in 66 and daily we talk about 66 corvettes, love the videos keep up the good work man

Haven't heard the Hoovie's Garage theme in a long time.

Hoovie: “this one is special” Also Hoovie with half the cars he’s owned: “this one is special”

My dad and I restored a 65 and a 67 in the late 80s. The 63-67 Vettes will always be my favorites. And so fun to drive.

Dear Hooptie. When I was around 10 or 11 yrs old I was able to witness a brand new 65 0r 66 Corvette that looked just like your 66. I was in awe !!!!! First time I ever saw a Stingray. At first I thought is was so strange but it didn't take long to fall in love. What a memory !!!!!!

One of the most beautiful Corvettes ever made.

The second he said, "I'll keep it here till something breaks" I was like...why do you jinx yourself like this?

Thank you for keeping the big block!!!! LS smell S! Big block is where it’s at! 🦋🦋💋💋 Corvette track car Hoovie!! QA1 offers a great suspension upgrade set! I absolutely love throwing my grandmas Stingray around Willow springs! The suspension, a set of Wilwoods, nice thicc tire set in the back’ maybe a 305? They cae will be a track demon!

I’m glad I can live vicariously through you and save my money!

427 will always be worth the save, Tremec 5spd makes it somewhat capable for a daily or interstate cruising.

Just saying the 84 jeep isn't a chrysler jeep was still owned by AMC in 1984

My dad owned a 67 coupe and a 66 2 top. The best of the best of the corvettes in his words. Rock on !!

Lol, when he said "fifty thousand dollars", my stupid sleeping brain was "fifteen thousand dollars", and for just a second my half-asleep brain had a moment of me owning one of the most beautiful cars ever built. It was a glorious second or two in my mind..

That car is just so pretty. Amazing color, and the shape of it's body are just something special. What a fun find.

One of my dream cars, 22 years military, in my travels I have seen a few, never been able to own one. 55 chevy 2 door and that 64-66 corvette. Love those cars...Lucky you for sure..😁

That last part was absolutely hilarious! Thanks for the great content Hoovie!

Hoovie, with respect to the radio, I keep all my classics with their original radio, but convert them to Aurora AM FM Bluetooth internals. There are several people that offer this service in the US. Classic looks with modern tuners and streaming.

The 427 is a special engine and the Corvette is a special car Hopefully it lasts for a long time for many generations!

The quality of that paint job is shocking. Why do you keep using them 😂

I h'ad two friends back in the 60's that had '66 427/390hp Corvettes. I got to drive them both several times. The sound was amazing, but what was most noticeable to drivers was the abundance of torque for the relatively lightweight car. These cars were out of my price range, but I will never forget the experience of driving them. It made me a lifelong Corvette fan, and I ultimately owned four Corvettes, starting with a 1974. You have a beautiful car there!

Damn Hoovie you can't catch a break. To the Wizard wow you have found a money tree!

Love seeing these projects get finished, thanks for letting us all witness your money pits Hoovie!

I am convinced that Tyler purposely breaks his cars so he can keep them at the Wizard’s shop because he has no more storage room😂

4:08 84 Wagoneers were still AMC.

Ive restored a few to NCRS specs and recently bought a 65 that didnt have the original motor. So I modernized everything. Trans, suspension, brakes, wheels, guages, etc. So liberating to do what you like and actually make it so enjoyable to drive. I was nervous if it be worth it. It was more than worth it. Good luck with yours Hoovie!!!!

Its awesome to see it stay as original as it can be! while a restoration is cool, its like it has its story taken away from it in most cases. This will just live on and have the character of a car we all wish we could have!

The smoking Volvo at the end😂

i also love the shape of the classic interior GM rearview mirror (which i believe started in 1961 or 1962). It's just so aesthetically pleasing, that shape. it's almost jewel-like.

That Corvette is worth every penny you put into it. This is my dream car in the perfect shade of blue. It will do nothing but appreciate from here so hold on to it and enjoy.

yes, a classic C2 corvette is always worth it.

It will only go up in value, they only made so many of em, a superb classic daily driver.

My 66 427 450 HP mechanical lifter is also side pipes. The mechanical joy of my life. Had one back in 1988 also. This one orginal motor and bloomington Gold Top Flight...so...there is that. Like new. What a golden age my life has been and the 66 427 raises the hair on my arms as I remember being a pilot at flight school in 1988. Mine is white with blue leather interior.

That Corvette & the Mustang are the two best cars you own IMO! I care nothing for any of the supercars or luxury cars or other oddball cars, those are the two I'd like to have the most!

That is, without a doubt, the most hideous paint job I have ever witnessed!

The Corvette is hands down the best Hooptie in the fleet!!

They will never ever loose their looks. What a beautiful design and the color. It's tough to get any better.

You don’t need a radio just listen to the sound of that car run that music

Best car in your inventory by far! It’s just classy and cool!

It stands to reason the Corvette feels more like a modern car. 4-wheel disc brakes and an independent suspension were all standard on the '66 'Vette.

Finally a Maybach update! Thank you. Watching that one with great interest.

The most beautiful car you have ever had. Chevrolet really hit the ball out of the park with this corvette.

This may be my favorite car you own. For sure top three.

Those rolling shots were your best work yet, the camera car must’ve been ultra smooth 😉

He's there so often, Hoovie should get his own desk at the Wizard's shop

That corvette is just beautiful! Without a doubt top of my lottery win car shopping list. It's nearly as old as me but much better looking.

Loving the Optimus Prime truck on Wizard’s desk. Maybe that’s a hint at his next purchase after the new yacht.

If on the radio the Maybach logo appears but then the radio quits, you almost certainly have a break in the fibre optic MOST loop.

I remember when I was in my late teens. I was shopping for a car, but didn't buy. This was in the late 80's. One dealer had a '66 Vette sitting on the showroom floor. I was enamored with it. The General Manager owned the car. He saw me and came out to talk about the car. It wasn't for sale. He just saw my big eyes and felt like talking. Ever since, I've been in love with the '66. Truly stunning vehicle. I envy you for this vehicle much more than the supercars. Don't give it up. At this point, I don't think the Vette is right for me. Your Mustang on the other hand??? Love that too. I'll give you dollars more than you paid for it.

Uh oh, looks like Elliot's Volvo is blowing some blue smoke..

Owning an Italian motorcycle, these videos make me feel like I'm no alone in my pain and struggles. haha

6:18 can't get whip-lash with those seats, you can get whip-lower-back though! if that doesn't get you the lap belt will finish you off. This is why people were better drivers back in the day... we had to be, additionally the ones that weren't were Darwin'ed out of the driver pool!

Beautiful corvette, glad you put the correct engine in the car, it is my favorite ride in the fleet. God bless.

No one ever mistakes those Vette's for anything other than a Vette. Just a beautiful design.

I think it's the best car in yo fleet. Add vintage AC and you will too

Where does the wizzzerd get the time a day to do all this and make videos! Wizard is already working on the magnum Ferrari!

I really hope you keep this one now. This is one of the most beautiful cars you ever had, all of the subs are definitely jealous. Thanks for giving us an owners perspective to this weapon❤️

Tyler, this sounds sweet and strong, just what all of us want in a Vette. I'm really glad to see this becoming a nice car again. Looking forward to see what tires you'll decide on. I'd adjust the hood before it gets chipped on the leading edge. Be sure to save that Muncie Rock Crusher this car came with. The next owner is going to want that.

Hoovie's hooptie fleet has definitely leveled up.. 👍

Only Hoovie takes a Maybach to get painted at Maaco...

Hoovies Garage, the channel where a savvy businessman (?) turns a small fortune into pocket change! I enjoy the cars, the knowledge of what it takes to own and maintain a classic, and the fact that I don't have to shell out my own money to do it.

Keep it forever please. As a kid that was my poster car, but instead of a poster I had a die cast model in the same color. Hands down my favorite corvette next to a c6 zr1. Congrats 👍🏼

Hoovie - "I just put a new engine in!" Also Hoovie - "It's original!"

Says Hovie of all his 30 odd cars, "This one is something special".

Of all your cars, this is the one I am most envious of. Stunning styling, big power plant - and as a side note, is also the car that the brassiest balls of any human being owned one: Neil Armstrong. (Only seconded by my idol - Buzz Aldrin.) It just doesn't get any more goose-bumpyish than this.

Well done. From what I hear Chevrolet made a huge stride in drivability with the C2. This is probably in my top 5 favorites on your channel.

Did all watching wince when he mentioned Maybach and Maco in the same sentence !

Damn that's a gaudy color combo and Maaco does it again with their quality! Hoopties of all kinds deserve better

Can't wait to see new tires on the Vette and a detail job! Awesome!

Six or seven inside your garage, a few outside in back, ten at the airport hanger, eight at the wizard's, hmm. I'm guessing you must own about 28 or so cars now . . . not counting the ones we haven't seen yet. You're the man Hoovie, the only one I'm truly jealous of is the 65 Corvette. Thanks for the fun. He he, I just noticed that was Elliott Alvis' blown turbo V70r passing you at the finish, I wondered who was doing the rolling shots. Hope he's headed to the Wizard's with that thing.

I couldn't imagine being a guy at Maaco and being like "wow I get to hack a $100,000 car today"

427% worth it!

Love the squeaking door into the payment office! Ha!!! Has an eerie tone to it. Enjoy the car updates and seeing them on the road next best thing to driving them myself. But less expensive. 👍😁

That poor Volvo was smoking like a 60's TV villain
