We sent this black Camaro over to our friends at Trans Am Depot, over in Florida. Gabriel: It wasn't like this when we got it. The comedian also holds a special place in his heart for muscle cars, particularly this rare Trans Am signed by actor Burt Reynolds himself, whose 1977 film "Smokey and the Bandit" made the car a household name.
Narrator: But Gabriel isn't strictly a Volkswagen lover.
And yeah, they say that there's one of three of these, and this is probably the nicest one. I got more paperwork for this car than I do for most of my family members. An original, and I've got all the paperwork to prove it. It's a Hoffman edition, 1950, which is basically the first year they started selling them here in the United States. Gabriel: What we have here is one of the oldest Volkswagen Bugs in the country. The collector owns some of the rarest Beetles you can find. Narrator: Gabriel's love for Volkswagens doesn't stop at buses, though. Back then it was a working man's truck, so ain't no room for chrome. They didn't come this way, just so you know. Back in the day, people did work, just like now, and they needed trucks. I know from the front it looks like one of the other buses, but this is not a "bus," per se it's actually a double-cab little truck. Something completely different right here. But true collectors understand that these are super rare.Īll right. I want the 21." 'Cause they're just, you know. But people always say, "Oh, I want the 21. Believe it or not, these are actually the rarest, because there are only 15 windows. There's no bus out there that has this color combo. I'm a big comic-book guy, and so I like the "Iron Man" colors, 'cause Iron Man's my favorite character, and so these are very much close to those colors. Narrator: Gabriel works closely with a team of experts to restore his newest additions to the collection and help keep all his "metal babies" in running order. We wanted to put something a little bit more elegant, and we thought that this color scheme was something that looked really, like, "Wow, look at that, you're gonna be afraid to get it dirty." Probably wouldn't wanna take it into the woods now. It was completely white, and it was kinda boring, kinda boring Camper. So the car went from Southern California, to Germany, back to Southern California. I actually purchased it from a guy in Germany, who had purchased it from a guy in Southern California. Gabriel: Right here we have a 1967 Westfalia Camper. Narrator: Gabriel says he built his Fluffy Museum to resemble the famous Volkswagen factory in Wolfsburg, Germany, with his own choices of artwork and Fluffy pieces. No, I have no intention of selling, but at the end of the day, as soon as I'm gone, and when I mean gone, this is gonna be turned into a museum for the city of Long Beach. I talked to Jay Leno, and Jay told me, he says, "You know what?" He says, "People are gonna tell you to invest your money certain ways." He goes, "But with me," he goes, "I like the cars, because, first of all, if they're classic, it is an investment, it's an investment you can enjoy, so you can drive them, and when you sell them, they'll be worth more."Įach one of these is valued somewhere between $100,000 to $200,000. Gabriel: Why did I become interested in collecting Volkswagen buses? Because I don't have a cocaine problem and I needed somewhere to spend the money, honestly. Gabriel's going to take us through what he calls "The Fluffy Museum" and give us a look at some of his personal favorite buses, as well as a few other rare rides he owns. Iglesias." We're taking a tour of his enormous garage, which features a collection of classic Volkswagen buses worth more than $3 million.
