5650 for a nice original T-bird like that ?? (restored) i know where i m going to buy my next car! hmmmm lets see, i could buy a new focus for 25 grand…. or a T-Bird for under 6 grand… guess where my money would go
i can’t find the rest of the episodes
Love the show and the bargains, these are cars we don’t see alot of over here, like the ’64 Barracuda lovely job !!!
lol these guys are idiots they lose money when they go to work lol they use lot time to fix those cars and still they have to pay for making work lol thats what i call american dream lol! fucking business wizards
Nice car, but it seems they missed a dent in the bonnets right side ( 0:10). This is clearly a quick ‘restoration’..
@LeBaronES Think of this comment as the worlds smallest violin to sooth your bitching. People who buy classics are grease monkeys that enjoy fine tuning cars. Btw you dont buy a classic to be driven daily. Classics are toys that you drive.
We need a Car channel for these types of shows!
Low prices on this show compared to Wrecks to Riches
the son talks funny and looks like he just did a line or two
An auction is never the right place to sell these kind of cars.
Actually seeing that the car sold for less than what they thought it would sell for gives me hope. I’m tired of all these so called experts picking up a used cars, doing a little polishing and shinning and then making outrageous profits by selling them to people that don’t know anything about restorations or what a classic car is.
and yet again, another half-assed show on discovery to fill in the air time.
