In this On the Move, hosts Matt Avery and John Kraman dive into the results of Mecum Glendale. The high seller of the five-day auction was a 1967 Chevrolet Corvette L88 Coupe which sold for $1,815,000. Painted Sunfire Yellow, the classic sports car was one of 20 L88 Corvettes produced that year and the only Duntov and Triple Diamond-awarded 1967 L88 still equipped with its original engine. John shares his surprise about a 1969 Cadillac Eldorado that was bought new by Elvis Presley. The Caddy was used by the King and Priscilla at their Beverly Hills, California, home until 1973. It sold at the auction for $253,000. Matt also shares his memorable Glendale moments including the sale of the 1969 Ford Torino Talladega GPT Special. The one-of-a-kind custom, featured at the SEMA Show and in the "Furious 7" movie, sold for $440,000. Next the guys turn their attention to the upcoming Mecum Houston auction, to be held April 4-6. John's standout consignment is a 1963 Ford Galaxie 500XL Convertible equipped with a 427 CI V-8 and a 4-speed manual transmission. Matt's pick is one of the collections: the Plendl Brothers Bowtie Classics. This group of 25 black Chevrolet classics are selling at no reserve with many showing ultra-low miles. Wrapping up, Matt and John discuss the latest Dodge news, detailing the next-generation 2024 Charger. The all-new muscle car comes with both an electric powertrain along with an internal-combustion engine option and will be available in both two- and four-door body styles.

Every winter for 13 years between 1954 and 1966 the greatest sports cars as well as the greatest sports car drivers in the world would gather in the Bahamas for what may well have been the coolest racing event in history.  10 days of partying, racing, hanging out on the beach, and enjoying life with some of the world's greatest stars is just as awesome as you think it is. Racers like Stirling Moss, AJ Foyt, Mario Andretti, Phil Hill, Masten Gregory, Roger Penske, Carrol Shelby and others showed up year in and year out to battle for the money and glory in the world's coolest cars.  The first ever 427 Cobra race car debuted at this event, Duntov brought the Gran Sport Corvettes, Ferrari, Porsche, and on and on it goes.  The history is interesting, led by a tyrant named Red Crise the event was his idea and with a unique combo of an iron fist on one side and a velvet gloved Baronet's hand on the other, he made magic.  This is the fantastic story of Bahamas Speed Week.

The Ford GT40 was the car that beat Ferrari in the1966 24 Hours of Le Mans. Four decades after that win, the company resurrected the storied machine with an all new Ford GT to commemorate Ford's 100th anniversary. Chris Theodore was Ford’s VP of Product Engineering during this time and the man in charge of designing an all-new car that captured the spirit of the original. Here he recounts the fascinating story behind the Ford GT. If it wasn’t for Zora Duntov, the Chevrolet Corvette may have been just a footnote in GM’s history. But immediately after joining GM in 1953,  Duntov pushed a series of changes through the GM bureaucracy that made the Corvette a legitimate sports car. Jerry Burton, author of "Zora Arkus-Duntov—The Man Behind Corvette", explains how Duntov’s forceful personality was an instrument of good, and sometimes bad. Listen to longer audio podcasts of both extraordinary stories: Ford GT and Chevrolet Corvette.
