I remember that show. They were showing four different groups of car guys in Texas that kept buying cars at auctions to fix up and sell. But, the work they did on the cars was usually minimal and any paint they sprayed was a really cheap spray job and not likely to last very long (kinda like those Maaco paint jobs I remember them advertising years ago).
I've seen the same thing with Chip Foose and a few others where they do really miracle work in a week or less. That just does not happen in the real world. At least some of the restoration shows they have on now, like the company in Canada, show you that it takes months, and sometimes years, to do them right. Thanks for the memories and I agree with you completely! Gene

Owner of the 36 "roller" is delusional. Does anyone here think it's really worth more than $200 or so?
Don't know where the owner of the 54 Patrician got his "only 1730 built", he's off by just a bit over 1000.

that knoxville 53 is sweet . with all the records
the hulk for 2500 american dollars> ??? . I agree delusions of grandeur or post mortem.. but like fine art (which is my business) .. it only takes one person to buy at your price. i have been so surprised what goes for big money and what wont go for cheap money.. In the fine art work only God knows... it is mostly the hype and salesmanship. I have seen the same thing in the old car world too. sometimes to make a sale you rise the price to ridiculous heights, makes it seem like its worth that. Then you bargain and they are so happy. happy Holidays you guys!

Hi
CL seems to be rife with delusional sellers! All collector car sales venues are beset with the same condition. But, we look anyway, just to see what interesting cars are available, hopefully for that choice deal. To wit: A '28-29 headlight bar, verify it really is before buying: http://losangeles.craigslist.org/sfv/pts/4767518006.html A '41 defroster/foot-warmer, same before buying: http://spokane.craigslist.org/pts/4756955271.html Some rundown Clippers, '42 & '47: http://spokane.craigslist.org/cto/4764117525.html http://orangecounty.craigslist.org/cto/4772136510.html Steve P.S. If you like "hash", here's some cooked-up at Kenosha: http://medford.craigslist.org/cto/4744298986.html

I know this isn't CL, but look at this 37 super eight hot rod bringing $91k!!! Why would people shell out that kind of $$$ for something like that?
