Spending P25 Million for the love of cars? Who does that? People who can afford it obviously. Like the Salonga family of Malolos, Bulacan. And boy do they get the most of it through many family joyrides after two men in the household gladly restored some old wheels.
It does make you wonder. Why are some people so into antique cars as old as time itself? The attention? Maybe. But that's unlikely with this family. Investment perhaps. Or nostalgia — because bringing back good childhood or teenage memories always feels good. But here's something more obvious, this father and son duo enjoys tinkering. Any mechanic by heart would love to turn up the hood of a 1972 Volkswagen Karmann Ghia Coupe and customize it to their specifications. Or play with an engine. You catch the drift.

00:00Hi, I'm Rainier, and this is my son Clark, and this is our 25 million vintage car collection.
00:13Watch this in full to find out our rarest car exclusively here on OG.
00:20Ito yung 1972 Karmann Ghia, isa sa mga rare model Bali sports car ng Volkswagen.
00:34Ito yung huling-huling ginawa ni, I understand, di Ferdinand Forza, bago siya gumawa ng Forza.
00:42I've been collecting vintage cars for 12 years now.
00:49Most people, they say, na yung 1980 and below na cars are considered vintage car.
00:551980 and below itong mga collections namin.
00:58Mga year 2005, gusto ko na talaga magkaroon ng mga old cars, kasi nakikita ko na yun sa
01:05mga kaibigan ng tatay kung meron silang mga lumang cars, narutuwa ako.
01:10So we started in 2005, nagahanap na kami.
01:13Ang problema, hindi ganung kadali na maghanap pala ng lumang kotse.
01:17Nang suwertihin kami, mga year 2010 na eh, so almost 5 years din.
01:22So ang unang-una namin vintage, Type 3 na Volkswagen na notchback.
01:301968 model siya.
01:32Ito nga pala yung favorite vintage car ko.
01:35Ito yung 1968 na Volkswagen Type 3.
01:39Originally, ang may-ari nito ay isang pare.
01:42Kaya nakalagay pa sa kanyang registration is Roman Catholic Church.
01:55Nung muna kasi, maliliit pa kasi sila eh.
01:57So sinasakay-sakay ko lang sila.
01:59Pagka naglilinis ako ng mga lumang kotse, kasama ko siyang naglilinis-linis dun.
02:06Nung nagtagal, nakikita ko hindi pinapakialamanan niya nun eh.
02:10Nung maliliit kasi ako, lagi niya akong binadala sa Toy Kingdom.
02:14Kaya dun, nag-start sa laruan-laruan lang.
02:17Tapos nung nakikita ko na nagbe-build-build siya,
02:20ng mga nagre-restore siya,
02:22ang galing nung process niya yung pagre-restore.
02:25Yung first vintage car ko kasi yung BMW na E21.
02:29Sa dad ko talaga siya.
02:31Ito yung BMW E21 na 1982.
02:36Coupe din siya.
02:37So na-acquire nung dad ko to.
02:40Actually, bibisit nila lang siya sa friend niya na may malaking garage.
02:44Then, nadaanan lang niya.
02:45So nagustuhan ko na yung car ko.
02:48Actually, bibisit nila lang siya sa friend niya na may malaking garage.
02:52Then, nadaanan lang niya.
02:53So nagustuhan niya kasi BMW na vintage.
02:56Then, blessing in disguise,
02:58nung kinuha naman ni daddy,
03:00nung kinuha namin,
03:00sakto binigay niya sa akin.
03:02So ako na daw mag-restore.
03:03So, nung una, ang color niya talaga is gray.
03:07Gray na medyo white.
03:08Kasi yun yung color na gusto sana.
03:11Nung tinignan namin yung isang color nung box ni daddy's,
03:15so ang pinaka-attractive kasi is yung turquoise blue.
03:18So para mas bumata yung itsura.
03:20Kasi ako, bata nga ako.
03:22Yun yung pinare-paint namin.
03:23Dito na din siya nare-paint.
03:31Siguro lahat naman, lahat na nag-start,
03:34nagpagawa muna sila sa iba.
03:36Ito kasi yung travel ng pag-restore.
03:39Pag nakakita ka na ng kotse,
03:41hahanap ka naman ngayon ang tutulong sa'yo to restore it.
03:44At start, syempre.
03:45Luckily, may mga kaibigan na pag nalaman nila,
03:49tutulungan ka nila.
03:51Later on, ka nalang matututo na mag-restore by yourself
03:55through experiences doon sa other na magagaling nang mag-restore.
04:08We experimented nito last few years.
04:11Nag-try kami mag-restore na nung nitong latest.
04:15Tsaka isang bago namin ginawa.
04:17Yung Ford Mustang na 1967.
04:22So yun, basically kami talaga nalang nag-restore noon.
04:25So dito na namin na Milatero.
04:29Dito na namin Pinintingan.
04:30Dito na namin yung Mechanical Works.
04:32Dito na rin.
04:33Ito naman yung 1967 na Beetle.
04:38Ito kasi medyo rare din to.
04:40Kasi Euro-type siya na bag-eye.
04:42At saka may factory sunroof siya.
04:44So ito actually, tatlong taong kong niligawan doon sa may-ari.
04:49So bumibili pa ako ng parts.
04:51And mabait naman yung may-ari nito.
04:54And then, later on, after three years,
04:58nagtagumpay din na nakuha ko sa kanya.
05:01Isa to sa mga sikat na modelo sa US.
05:06Mas gusto nila yung ganitong model 1967.
05:09Tinatawag nila to na one-year model.
05:12Actually, meron kaming currently na nire-restore ngayon.
05:15It was a 1967 Mustang Coupe.
05:18Tara, tingnan natin.
05:23Ito nga pala yung currently na nire-restore namin.
05:28Ito yung 1967 Ford Mustang na Coupe.
05:32Siguro mga halos 90% na siya na finished.
05:37Dati itong yellow siya.
05:40And then, kinalas namin siya, inayos namin yung kulay.
05:44Pinalitan namin ng into a candy apple red.
05:49Tapos, yung engine, V8 siya na 289 small black.
05:54Ito talaga, dito binawa ito.
06:04Minsan kasi, parang isang auto, ma-acquire mo yan.
06:07Minsan, medyo mahal na rin. Depende sa klase ng auto.
06:11Siguro, figuratively, by number,
06:15for restoration pa lang siya, siguro mga million na rin.
06:18Malaki na rin.
06:19Pag kasi na-restore mo na, do-double na halos yung presyo nila.
06:23Basically, siguro ngayon, yun nga mga nasa 25 million na siguro
06:27ngayon yung price ng collection.
06:31Meron acquisition siguro mga, before mga 12,
06:35so siguro mga nakaka-8 million na rin ka-re-restore, ano.
06:40Pero alam mo, minsan ha, yung mga collector kasi,
06:42tsaka yung mga nag-re-restore,
06:44minsan hindi mo na kasi napapansin yung presyo
06:47dahil nag-e-enjoy ka na, eh.
06:49Lahat ng mga nag-re-vintage, I understand,
06:51ganyan din ang feeling nila.
07:01Itong vintage car, it may be very, somehow expensive.
07:06Pero yung, yung pinaka-masarap dito na pangyayari
07:11is kasama mo yung anak mo minsan na
07:13plainly lilinisin niyo lang yung auto,
07:15and then nagkukwentuhan kayo.
07:17Yung auto, nagiging isang medium ng opening ng door
07:22sa anak mo na ganyan, bilang ama.
07:24Nagiging closer kayo.
07:31Sa mga gusto rin ng mga vintage, enjoy.
07:35Ako gusto ko lang pagkaginawa ninyo yan,
07:38huwag maka-apekto sa real budget ninyo,
07:40and then enjoy it.
07:41Always yung excess money lang,
07:43and don't thrust things out.
07:45Slowly lang, ah.
07:46Ang restoration, hindi yan mabilis,
07:48hindi yan madalim.
07:50So dapat siguro passion mo.
07:52Kasi pag hindi mo passion,
07:54naiinis ka, mainip ka.
07:56Laging sinasabi ni daddy na,
07:58hintay ka lang, time, gano'n.
08:00Tapos yung resulta naman,
08:02magiging happy ka dyan.
08:03Tsaka yung process,
08:04doon ko nakita sa kanya yung process.
08:06Hindi siya nai-stress,
08:07lagi lang siyang chill,
08:09hanap lang na hanap,
08:10kahit years abutin,
08:11yun lang siguro yung advice ko.
