Oil and Whiskey with Roadster Shop

This week on Oil & Whiskey, we’re joined by John Wargo of The Custom Shop.
John has been at it since 1988, building everything from wild mini trucks and graphic-heavy show vehicles to muscle cars, SEMA builds, custom paint, and full-blown one-off projects.
This one gets into the early days, building cars right out of high school, work ethic, the evolution of the custom car world, SEMA stories, magazine features, old builds coming back around, and what it really takes to keep doing this at a high level for decades.

Its here! The longest runtime, the long awaited & highly requested... Roadster Shop Sales Team on Oil & Whiskey!Phil Smunt, Ervin Cabrales, and Andrew Erichsen join us this week to talk all about customer relations, hanging out at shows, and how a $200 cooler of beer is the best marketing tool there is.

This week on Oil & Whiskey, we’re joined by Dave Hall and Tyler Flaherty of Restore a Muscle Car.
We get into the shop, the builds, the business, Trans Ams, muscle cars, and what it takes to keep classic American performance alive at a high level.
A lot of great stories in this one from two guys who have been deep in the muscle car world for a long time.

On this episode of Oil & Whiskey, we’re joined by part of the RS hot rod fab team: Jon York, Spencer Newman, and Dakota Montour.
From the work that goes into high-level builds to the chaos, craftsmanship, and shop stories that come with it. A trip, and a stumble, down sketchy memory lane, the boys recall the early days and how each of them ended up at Roadster Shop.

This week on Oil and Whiskey, we’re joined by Sam Murtaugh, COO of Mecum Auctions.Sam sits down with the guys to talk about his path from detailing cars at Turtle Wax to working with Dana Mecum’s personal collection and eventually helping lead one of the biggest names in collector car auctions. The conversation gets into the evolution of Mecum, what makes the auction world tick, how buyer behavior has changed, and why quality builds are bringing serious money.They also dive into the current state of the collector car market, the rise of ’80s, ’90s, and early 2000s cars, hidden gems that may still have room to grow, massive auction moments like Kissimmee, the stories behind rare collections, and what it takes to keep younger enthusiasts engaged in the hobby.
