While Collins is dropping off the Porsche, he encounters a warehouse full of notable classic – these are cars purchased in the US that will soon find their way to other countries.

Collins quickly gleans that the most sought-after vehicles are trucks and Volkswagen ‘Microbusses’ (particularly late-model examples).

Javier, from the shipping company, confirms Collins’ observations and adds that Bel Airs, Cadillacs, Oldsmobiles, Buicks, and Lincolns are also popular among overseas collectors.

We also learn that a majority go to the UK, Sweden, and Germany.

Rescuing A Classic 1963 Chevy Impala Sport

The video wraps up with Collins buying a disused 1963 Impala Sport Coupe with a 283 cubic-inch V8.

While the car has seen better days, it’s nothing some repairs or a restoration can’t take care of – and thanks to belonging only to one family and having a Texas-only history, this Chevy offers a welcomed bit of pedigree.

Further adding to the Impala’s value is a collection of authentic documentation, including the original title and owner’s manual
