Beautiful car.
A couple of wrong facts, but overall a nice watch.
Thanks for sharing!

This car is for sale on Hemmings web site. I believe mid sixties asking price. Appears to be a really nice car. Wish I could afford it!

Such as? I was distracted a little while listening but didn't hear any egregious misinformation. As "automotive journalists" go, Magnante is usually quite accurate.

First let me say I like Steve and respect his knowledge...but you can't know everything about everything.
-He say the Sports coupe was the cheapest and most potent, when it was the Club coupe
-Said 65 was the first year for the 442 motif (pointing at logo) when the 64's had it

Small and won't matter to most but...

#1 was an error in nomenclature, you're right, can't know everything about everything. #2 I took to mean that 1965 was the first year for the 400 B-block plus availability of the Jetaway, thus the "400" fill-in instead of "4-speed" in the 4-4-2 designation.
