K&F Show #354: Race Season, January Auction Record Sales, & the Story Behind It All // Car MOVIE Review “Ford vs Ferrari”

This episode of The Kibbe & Friends Show delivers a long-overdue review of Ford vs Ferrari, a modern racing classic that has become required viewing for car fans everywhere. With Daytona season approaching and January’s auction buzz still fresh, the timing couldn’t be better to revisit the story of Ford’s battle against Ferrari at Le Mans and the people who made it happen. It’s a film that captures the emotion, danger, and obsession behind endurance racing while telling a powerful human story along the way.

Rob Kibbe, Justin “Corndog” Cornette, and producer Bernie McPartland break down why Ford vs Ferrari works on every level — from Christian Bale’s unforgettable performance as Ken Miles, to the tension between racers and the boardroom, to the brutal reality of 24-hour competition. The GT40 becomes more than just a car, it becomes a character, and the movie becomes more than just a race film. It’s a story about passion, sacrifice, and the cost of chasing perfection at full throttle.

TMCP #565: Rides By Engel – The Yoda to to Building, Marketing, Operating a Profitable Production Car Business!

This week I have the pleasure to talk to long time friend of the show, Jason Engel. At SEMA 2023 I learned that Jason had entered the consulting business and was also he representative to vet licensure requirements for Shelby!

What was he consulting in, specifically? Well….consulting in the entire process of owning, operating, producing, marketing, and leading a production car business where the production car is unique to the business itself. In addition, it might be a car that needs to be licensed by an OEM or other “Hollywood” style entities. Examples include companies like Classic Recreations (which he founded), Revology, Velocity Restorations, Anything Scout, etc. In a nutshell, Jason was taking on clients to teaching them the business of PROFITABLY running such a venture. For this, I needed a full length interview…and this is out!

TMCP #537: Ask Rick – Lessons Learned to Promote (or Dismiss) Employees; Plus an Easter Project Car Review Blowout!

April is here and Easter is upon us! For some of us, Spring brings on the need to get out our cars and get them ready for driving. For others it is the time to look for a project car to work on since it is now warm enough to spend hours in the garage or driveway bringing it back to life. This time I decided to Ask Rick about not just three but SIX cars to get his take on; 3 were crusty (but promising) restoration projects, and 3 were terrific (and affordable) examples of 3rd generation Pontiac Firebirds/Trans Ams that might be good fits for my son to take on. However, we started by addressing some thought listener questions on business: promoting and dismissing employees.
