Description

In this episode of The Collector Car Podcast, I'm joined by automotive enthusiast, broadcaster, and all-around car guy Matthew "Motorator" D'Andria for a wide-ranging conversation on some of today's most compelling collector car topics.

We kick things off with the Fox-body Mustang—why these once-overlooked 5.0 cars are finally getting respect, which trims and options collectors are chasing, and what separates a smart buy from a future headache.

From there, we head to the opposite end of the spectrum with the Jaguar XJ220. We break down its misunderstood origin story, the expectations vs. reality moment at launch, and why today's market is starting to see the XJ220 less as a footnote and more as a true '90s supercar milestone.

Along the way, Motorator and I zoom out to talk bigger-picture collector car trends—the pull of analog driving experiences, the influence of online auctions and social media, and how a new generation of enthusiasts is reshaping what's collectible next.

Whether you're shopping for your first Fox body or watching the top end of the market, this episode offers insight, perspective, and a few strong opinions along the way.
