A 70 Hemi Challenger car with AC... really... Was it repped as factory?
 
Think I saw that episode.
That the one when he lost the brakes on the Superbird?
 
Their shop in Iowa isn't very far from me..... we go there every 3 years or so.. LOL
 
During season one I worked with their production company in NYC to bring the guys to pick the show grounds where I promoted my hot rod show.

I sent them a hundred or so photos and provided a history of the facility.

A month later I got a two hour notice that the film crew was on their way!

Mike and Frank were nice to meet and the crew did a good job.

That is totally awesome. Kim

The word got out that they were filming and about 25 of us had to stay out of the cameras view so they could film.

While the "free styling" intro was planned, they did not want any heads up on what was on the grounds. They wanted to go in cold... no fakery!

They had two vans carrying the crew and a Ryder rental truck to actually transport their buys. They put the finds in the van for show...
 
I saw that episode! The old guy has some really nice cars but he wasn't selling any of them, lol.

It was in Kingston GA about 10 miles from my house. I've only lived here 5 years though and didn't know of the guy before the show.
 
They called my friend two miles down the road and wanted to send their scout to check it out. I told my friend “Why? You never sell anything” A few members have seen this place and it would be a good show if he’d sell stuff. 66340sedan, Memike, Goldfish, Rameth
