OK, I generally don't have the patience — or time — to watch a 25-minute video. I prefer to read.
However, there is always the outlier, that thing differing from all others of a particular set
Here it is.
Last week, we were informed of the record-breaking sale of John Clay Wolfe's and Richard Rawlings' 6x6 Hellcat customized Humvee.
The Humvee sold at the Barrett-Jackson auction for $825,000 on Friday, a record for any full-size SUV category at the auction. The Humvee also generated 154 million views on a single Instagram reel, making it one of the most viewed posts on the platform.
Wolfe, a 2023 Fort Worth Inc. Entrepreneur of Excellence Award winner, is president and founder of GIVE ME THE VIN. Rawlings is founder of Gas Monkey Garage in Dallas.
“This was one of the most adrenaline inducing, risky, fun and lucrative deals on a single car that I've ever been involved in,” Wolfe said in a statement. “We made the car a celebrity, which is exactly what Danton Arts Kustoms wanted us to do. We set the bar high for our next one.”
Wolfe and Rawlings made $675,000, according to a press release.
Based in Fort Worth, GIVE ME THE VIN™ is the nation's largest vehicle wholesaler with nearly $2 billion in annual revenues, according to the company. Wolfe, the first online vehicle buyer, launched the privately held company in 1996.
