Car Masters: Rust to Riches (2018) s02e03 Episode Script

Something Borrowed, Something Renewed

[power tools run]
[engine revs]
- [Caveman] Wait a second.
- [Constance] A full trailer.
[Tony] That wasn't supposed to be here.
[CM] Looks like the same car
you left with. What happened?
[Shawn] Let's get this thing
off the trailer
and, uh, bitch about it later.
[Mark] We're 0 for two on trades.
Wrecked cars, deals falling through.
[starts engine]
All of these trade cars
are how we make our money.
And without the trade, we can't upgrade.
We're just stuck at the bottom right now.
We brought it over to this guy's shop.
He had a couple of nice cars.
He liked it. He definitely liked the car.
He loved the car. He didn't want to
give up enough to make it worth the deal.
I'm glad you guys didn't make a bad deal.
I will say that.
What are we gonna do about money?
This would be the second time
we started over
'cause of the Buick fiasco
in the parking lot.
Why don't we, uh,
just digress from this mess,
see if Shawn can get another trade deal
going in on this car,
and if not, then we'll revisit
this whole situation again.
Okay, I'm onboard with this,
but just so everybody knows,
it's gonna take some time
to find someone to trade for this.
[Mark] It can't take that much time.
Don't think you got all the time
in the world.
[power tools run]
[engine revs]
Oh, I hate when we get ourselves
into situations like this.
This upgrade-and-trade model
is always a bit of a gamble.
We've learned that the hard way
quite a few times.
What's your big master plan
to get out of this?
I don't have a master plan.
I have options.
That's why I always like to keep
a few irons in the fire.
Right now, I have a quick build in mind
that can bring in some short-term cash
until we trade the Mustang.
- I've got an option for us.
- Mm-hmm.
John Perez.
- What about John?
- You know John Perez.
Mm-hmm. He is big car guy.
John Perez is a local big shot.
He's got a ton of money,
and he spends a lot of it on fancy cars.
Well, it turns out
he's sort of scrambling for
a 20th-anniversary gift
for his wife Maria,
and he wants us to build
a blinged-out T-bucket.
The kicker is the car needs to be done
in three weeks.
So we have a timeline now.
What has he got to spend?
His budget's only 40 grand.
It's gonna take, like,
25, 28 grand to get 40.
That's not a lot of money.
We don't have money coming in the door,
and we need something right now
to feed the beast.
We love doing T-bucket builds
here at Gotham Garage.
It's the simplest,
cleanest hot rod out there.
In fact, last year,
we took a ratty old T-bucket
and turned it into one badass fire truck.
But John Perez is not your average client.
He's gonna want
the most outrageous T-bucket
we've ever done.
So we're gonna have to step it up
even more.
I'll call him and find out
kind of what he's looking for
on a on a specific sense,
and you're gonna need to find a T-bucket,
like, now.
Well, let's do it. I know a guy
that's trying to get rid of one.
Why don't you call him on the phone
and make a deal?
I'll go get the car,
'cause I need you back on the hunt
for that Mustang deal immediately.
All right, I get it.
Get out of here. Got work to do.
My boss is a hard-ass.
- [chuckles]
- He's riding me like a mule.
Joe. Hey, it's Shawn.
You talked to me
about that, uh, that T-bucket you got.
Thirty-five hundred for it,
and it still runs and drives, right?
Perfect. All right, I'll see you in a bit.
Thanks.
[engine roars]
[Tony] Damn, that's loud.
[shuts off engine]
- What's up with this?
- [Mark chuckles]
[Mark] It's a project for a client,
for a 20th-anniversary gift to his wife.
- Well, that's lovely.
- [Mark] Yeah.
He wants a tremendous amount of bling.
So much glitter, you can't look at it.
Gaudy with style is how you would put it.
- Gaudy with style.
- Gaudy with style, yes.
Basically what I want to do with this
is I want to turn it into
a badass Gotham Garage wedding coach.
A wedding coach.
[horses whinny]
[Mark] Back in the day,
coaches were normally
horse-drawn carriages
for the rich and the powerful.
Yeah, they got you from A to B,
but it was really about
showcasing your power and your wealth.
That's why they were adorned with
very expensive and very elaborate
ornamental sculptures.
He's gonna gift it to his wife
on their 20th anniversary.
There's a big party.
It's a big, big shindig.
This thing has to be done in three weeks.
[yelps] I'm sorry.
That was uncontrollable.
All we do is chop the frame, stretch it,
and put a bunch of bling on it.
You could do that three weeks. It runs.
Let's get a Sawzall and start cut-cutting.
[saw runs]
I have gone through tons of old photos,
so I have a really good vision
on how this car is supposed to look.
The first thing we're gonna do
is stretch the frame
so we can add
second- and third-row seating.
Up front, it's already got a 350 V8.
That's a ton of power
for a build this light, so it's gonna fly.
But on top of that,
we're gonna make this car sparkle.
We're adding chrome headers,
a clear distributor cap,
and a finned air cleaner
so this thing will catch the light
like the giant diamond
on her engagement ring.
And then we're gonna drop in
a custom diamond-stitched interior
and a gorgeous paint job.
It's gonna one badass, blinged-out
Gotham Garage ride.
[Mark] Now you're cooking with gas.
[Mark] Weld it.
It's gonna be a "beauty meets the beast."
[Mark] That's good.
- That's all front suspension, right?
- [Tony] Yeah.
I like the squeak that comes with it.
That's nice.
- [squeaks]
- [Mark] Keep moving this forward.
I'm gonna meet with Shawn,
'cause we need to find a car
to trade for that Mustang.
[Shawn] I've got a lot of cars lined up
that we might, you know,
make a hell of a deal on.
My main focus right now
is trying to find somebody
that'll trade for this Mustang.
I got a few guys that are interested.
They loved the pictures,
and now Mark and I have got to see
if they have enough stuff
to make a trade worth it.
Well, there's a few cars over here.
- [Mark] What's the little yellow car?
- [man] That's a little Datsun.
- Look at that.
- That was my first car.
[Mark] Man.
These aren't the cars
that you trade straight up one for one.
These are a little rougher cars.
But it looks like someone was having fun.
They had the strippers
on the roof here dancing.
- Yeah.
- I see the stiletto marks right there.
Damn, I missed the show.
So we're looking to see
if maybe they have two or three cars
that they could package together
that'd amount to, like, 60 or 70 grand.
[man 2] That is a 1980 Trimuter.
- [Shawn] Man!
- [laughter]
Who would fit
Who would even fit in here?
Randy, looks like we got
a little bit of rust in this old Maverick.
[Randy] Isn't this called pristine?
- Patina, yeah.
- Patina.
Well, I don't know
if we'd call that patina.
- [Mark] We can kind of call that rust.
- [Shawn] Yeah.
The bottom line here
is we have a $50,000 Mustang,
and if we can't trade up from there,
we're not doing a deal.
- Thank you very much for showing us.
- Pleasure to meet you.
Yeah, that one's a little too far gone
for what we got to do right now.
[Mark] So that was
a complete waste of time.
- [Shawn] Aw.
- [gibberish]
Stripping gears, right?
Yeah, I told you
this wasn't gonna be easy.
It's not supposed to be easy,
but, you know,
right now, I think I just need to talk
to the rest of the crew
and put out an APB
and just have 'em all
go start feeling around
for anybody looking for a Mustang
or anybody looking for a muscle car
that I do not want to be sitting on
that much capital on that car for a month.
That can't hurt.
No, not at all.
In the meantime, look, I've been thinking.
We should pull the trigger on that Buick
that's been sitting in the shop.
You said it's worth some money, right?
So for a while now,
Mark's had this old '48 Buick
just sitting in the back of the shop,
taking up space.
Now, I know it's his friend's car,
but I also know a build like that
could bring in some serious cash
for the shop.
[Mark] That's a special deal, dude.
That belongs to Bob Anziano,
and he passed away.
I have a personal deal
with his daughter Gina
to build that car out of my pocket
and split the profits with her 50-50.
Bob Anziano was a legend
in the car-building world.
He's known for
one-of-a-kind custom builds,
and his attention to detail
is second to none.
That's why Bob's cars
would sell for 150,000, 160,000
to well over $200,000.
This car was going to be
one of his last builds.
Unfortunately, he passed away
before he could finish it.
[Shawn] If we do the Anziano,
that will definitely hold us over
until we find a trade for the Mustang.
This car is started
by a master car builder,
and we're in a rush right now
to finish this coach.
The last thing I need to do
on top of this wedding coach
is get into this Anziano and rush that.
That's a big, big deal.
That's, like, a big deal.
[Shawn] Clearly this car
means a lot to Mark
on a personal level,
but this could be
exactly what the shop needs
to give it a little jump-start.
Even at a 50-50 split,
we still stand to make
quite a bit of money.
So I'm not giving up on this.
I'm gonna have to find a way
to give Mark that extra little push
to get this project started.
But I think you should think about this.
I think you should exhaust everything else
before I even entertain that idea.
The body's pretty much finished.
There's one piece left,
and that's where you're leaning.
We need to build a seat real quick
with a riser.
So this is gonna be
old-school third-row seating?
- Yeah.
- Old school.
Just because it's only a $40,000 build
does not mean
we're gonna put any less effort into it.
They said they wanted a lot of bling,
I'm gonna give 'em a lot of bling.
This is our first chance
to do a build with John,
and if we play our cards right,
it will not be the last.
All right.
[Mark] Right there. Weld it, Tony.
That's how you make a curlicue.
- [Tony] Good and tight?
- [Mark] That's good and tight.
[German accent] Good and tight. Ooh.
- All right!
- Caveman tested.
So we're rated at, what, 250, 265?
Yeah, 120 pounds on a heavy day.
- One leg.
- One-twenty.
[laughter]
[Mark] This a good stopping point.
You guys clean this up.
- [Caveman] Oh, we clean up.
- [Mark] I don't clean up after myself.
When have you ever seen me
clean up after myself?
[Mark] I know that Shawn is really pushing
to do this Anziano build,
but I'm truly torn.
This is the type of build
people like me dream of,
but that obligation does come with
some insecurity and some fear.
Am I gonna do this right?
And I don't wanna let Gina down.
I don't wanna let Bob down.
I don't wanna let my crew down.
As much as I'm dying to get my hands on
this car and put it together,
to finish it right,
I cannot divide my time.
[Tony] This wedding coach is probably
one of the most intricate builds
that we've done.
It's gonna take you hours
to walk around this car
and find every little detail
that we've added.
You ever got your wife anything like this
for your anniversary?
What, a wedding coach?
[Tony] Yeah, I mean,
just something on this caliber.
The best I ever did,
she wanted a teal green IROC Camaro.
- Oh, yeah?
- I brought it home for her one day.
Came home from work,
"Teal green Camaro is in the parking lot."
She went running out of the house.
There was a little Hot Wheels
right in the parking spot.
[Tony chuckles]
- Great story, Caveman.
- [Caveman chuckles]
Hey, Mark. Look who showed up.
- Hey, Gina.
- Hi, Mark.
Long time no see.
How you been? Good to see you.
She was thinking maybe this is the time
to get Mark off his ass
to finish this thing, am I right?
That does not sound like Gina.
Shawn knows how
to push people's buttons
to get his way.
That's what makes him good at his job.
So part of me respects him
for bringing Gina down here
to try to force my hand.
The other part of me
wants to punch him straight in the throat
for going behind my back.
I think it would be a good time
for this to actually get done.
[Gina] When Shawn called me
and told me about the possibility
of the car being done,
I was pretty excited.
My dad left me his shop,
and Mark came down,
and he saw the car,
and he said
it probably wouldn't be immediately,
but he would finish the car
for my dad and for me.
I just didn't want anybody
to take advantage of her or the car.
- It's a lot of money sitting here.
- Yeah, no doubt.
[Mark] I met Gina, and I thought,
"I have a daughter as well.
My daughter's gonna be in
that same situation someday,
and I hope that some outsider
steps in and protects her when I can't."
But this is, like, sentimental.
It's not just a car.
I know you're busy
and you have a lot of things going on,
but I would be
more than grateful and so happy
if we could finish it
and get it out there for people to see.
- I really can't argue with that, can I?
- [Shawn] Can't argue with good sense.
Nope. I'd really like to see it done, too.
So if you want us to finish it,
we'll go ahead and finish it.
We'll put this car together the right way.
You can't give me any grief
about how long it takes.
Then her and I have a deal.
It's a 50-50 split,
and everything we pay for.
Then we'll figure out how to sell it
for huge money.
[Shawn] Huge money.
I just want to see it finished
and complete and
- Exactly.
- done.
- Well, I guess that's about to happen.
- Thank you.
- Who's excited? Who's excited, huh?
- [Mark chuckles]
We have this wedding-coach deadline
creeping up on us.
But if we're gonna finish
Bob Anziano's car,
I want to dive into this car right now
and get an inventory.
[Tony] Not used to a project showing up
- [M] With everything?
- [T]with this many things.
Let's get it all laid out on the floor.
I'm gonna leave Caveman and Constance
to advance the wedding coach,
while Tony and I go through
all these parts for the Buick.
Says '48 Buick on it.
- Good. We know it fits this car.
- It's for the right car.
Could you imagine having to chase down
all of these pieces and parts
- if it wasn't here?
- You'd never find it all.
Bob Anziano is one of the most
meticulous builders on the planet.
This is thousands of dollars
in chrome work.
[Mark] Yeah. Ha ha ha.
And one thing I can say about Bob
is he sure the hell
knew how to pick his cars.
The 1948 Buick Roadmaster
is the kind of car that you saw
in every gangster movie.
It's a sleek, elegant car,
and it's the perfect platform
for building a big-money hot rod.
There it is. That's the computer
for the Viper motor. Lookit there.
[Tony] Looks like he's got the airbags in,
and the compressors are mounted.
Bob started this build off
with one of the cleanest chop-tops
I've ever seen.
Then he dropped in
a Gen 2 Dodge Viper motor and airbags
so you could slam this thing
all the way to the ground.
So that's where we come in.
We still need to do
all the mechanical work to the car
- to breathe that Viper motor back to life.
- [motor revs]
We also need to go through
every single piece
to find out where that part needs to go.
We'll add wheels and tires
that perfectly fit this build,
and then finish it off
with a high-end paint job
worthy of this immaculate hot rod.
This is a little overwhelming
from that end to that end.
Bob got this car about 60% done,
but every custom builder knows
the last 40% is where all the artistry
and craftsmanship take over.
Well, grab some boxes and just
What do they call that?
- Organize?
- Yeah. [chuckles]
The V8 that this T-bucket came with
has plenty of power,
especially for that super-light frame.
So I'm really concentrating on the look,
and Mark wants this coach blinged out,
so we're adding bling in a place
that most people take for granted
the distributor cap.
It's a simple bolt-on part
that adds a lot of
visual bang for your buck.
[Caveman] Damn, look at that.
I'm also installing a full-finned,
polished-aluminum air filter.
Unlike most builds we do,
this engine won't be hidden under a hood.
It's the first thing people see.
And when the sun catches
each of the 22 ridges,
it's gonna sparkle
and draw your eye right in.
- So is this thing ready to fire up?
- Yeah.
[starts and idles engine]
There it goes.
[Mark] Hearing that motor
and seeing those flames
shoot out the headers,
this thing is gonna be a monster.
It's gonna be a freak of nature.
It's two completely different worlds
colliding together.
Sound good, and they just shoot
tiny little fireballs out.
We're beyond the hump now,
but keep in mind,
we've only got a week left
to finish this car.
Caveman, Constance,
get this thing ready for paint.
[Caveman] All right.
[Tony] There's a lot of wires
all over the place inside here.
- I got wires coming out of the floor.
- Yeah.
Wires hanging from the dash.
So what's the goal here?
The goal here is to get this car
mechanically up and running.
Now I understand why Bob's cars
command so much money
and bring the price that they do.
Every inch of this car
has been customized.
A lot of times, the value
is in the work you don't see.
Something that seemed so simple,
like this brake mechanism
None of that stuff came on this Buick
from the factory.
To hide the brake booster
and to fit it under the dash
so that you don't see it
in the engine compartment
it's like taking a master class
from a master hot-rod builder.
This car is one big modification.
I don't think there's a panel
he didn't touch.
[Tony] If you look at a regular '48 Buick
with a nice restoration,
maybe somewhere between 40,000 and 60,000,
but when you look at a car like this
that's taken to the next level,
now you understand why Bob's cars
bring the price that they do.
All right, controller's in place.
[Mark] Bob Anziano
already installed an engine for this car.
This thing's gonna sound wicked, dude.
It's a 450-horsepower Viper V10 engine
with a six-speed behind it.
This thing is a monster.
It's packed. It's got fuel.
[starts engine]
You bet I like that. You bet I like that.
- That smells so good, dude.
- Oh, man.
- Nice job. Nice job, dude.
- [indistinct chatter]
You know what's really cool
is you know Bob's smiling right now
- going, "Finally that thing started up."
- Yeah.
- No, we just woke him up for sure.
- Yep.
"Everything I did, I did right."
[both chuckle]
Let's get started on the body work.
We got to grind these welds down
and start spreading some dough.
[grinder running]
Maybe I've overthought this whole build,
and I've talked myself out of it.
But now that things are going
and it's not so looming over my head,
I'm actually starting to feel pretty good
I'm gonna be able to finish this project
and live up to Bob's expectations.
We're on a tight deadline with the coach,
so I gotta get that car
into the paint booth as soon as possible.
- [Caveman] Look at this thing!
- [Constance] Look at that.
- Whoo-oo.
- So if you scratch it, run home.
- Don't come back.
- [Caveman laughs]
[Mark] We're down to the details.
Tony is gonna spend an entire day
engine turning on this coach.
"Engine turning"
is putting small scratches
in the surface of the aluminum
and the brass. It gives you this depth.
It's almost like it's in motion
when it's sitting still.
This texture and detail
is the bling we were talking about.
Then we have another full day
of just pinstriping alone.
Pete Finlan is an awesome artist.
Everybody refers to him as Hot Dog.
He owns Hot Dog Kustoms.
He's a friend of mine.
This guy's hand is so steady,
he could've been a brain surgery.
[part clangs]
- [laughter]
- What?
You said
he could've been a "brain surgery"?
[Mark] Yeah, we know
who's never gonna be a brain surgery.
- [laughter]
- [Tony] All right.
The first surgery you're gonna do, Pete,
is on Caveman.
[more laughter]
[Mark] And the final day
is all about finishing strong.
[fanfare playing]
[wind gusting]
[Mark] In three weeks,
we took a beat-up old T-bucket
and turned it into a beast of bling.
And even though
we're not making a ton off the deal,
this is not the type of client
you want to disappoint.
[engine revs]
[gulls squawking]
[Mark] It's gonna be fun to drive,
and I can't even imagine
how much more fun she's gonna have
driving it around full of friends.
[Shawn] Ah, you got on your Sunday whites.
Looking sharp.
Hey, John.
Yeah, hey, we're ready down here.
Cool. All right, he's coming down.
With a vehicle like this, all the bling,
you could've worked
three more months on this thing.
- I could, actually.
- That is a lot of bling.
- It's almost as much bling as you.
- Hey.
Are we ready to make this day
just a little bit better?
- I'm ready.
- Yeah? Good.
One, two, three.
- Oh, ho.
- [giggles]
- [guests cheer]
- [Maria] Oh, my God.
[Maria laughs]
Wow.
- Happy anniversary.
- Oh, my God.
- What do you think?
- Wow. It's gorgeous.
- There you go.
- There you go. Yeah.
- [John] Bling, bling.
- [Maria] Bling, bling.
It's all me. I love the combination
purple and white.
I can't wait to drive it.
It's gorgeous. I love it.
- Can I get in?
- [John] Wow.
- Look at that.
- Give me your hand.
Happy 20th anniversary, my love.
You deserve it all.
I love you with all my heart.
[Shawn] John and Maria love the car.
That's perfect for us
'cause we needed this to go smoothly.
Thank you so much.
[Mark] This was an awesome build,
and it's so much fun
to see how much they love it
and their entire family loves it.
- [honks horn]
- [Maria] Hey.
[Maria chuckles]
But as far as the shop goes,
it's not a ton of money.
It's just enough to keep the lights on,
but not much else.
We can enjoy this today,
but tomorrow, it's right back to reality.
Yeah, I'm glad I was able to
talk Mark into doing the Anziano Buick.
Now I'm really excited to find
a big-money buyer for that car.
Yeah, we only get 50% of the profit,
but that car is worth six figures.
So even after we do the split with Gina,
it's still a really big payday
for the shop.
My biggest challenge right now
is finding someone
who's willing to trade for the Mustang.
The Mustang deal falling through
was obviously not good.
But I talked to everybody I know,
and I'm striking out across the board.
We've even got the rest of the crew
reaching out to their contacts.
I thought this car would be a sure thing,
but I'm having to do things
I don't normally do.
Sixty-nine Mustang.
I just went as far as
posting a frigging ad online.
- [T-Mobile ringtone]
- Hello?
- [man] I'm calling about the Mustang.
- What do you got to trade?
A Fiero. It looks pretty nice.
Are we talking an older Camaro,
like an old classic Camaro,
like a '67, '68 or '69
or something like that?
No, a-a Fiero.
Oh, a-a Fiero?
It didn't work. Oh, my
So right now, I'm heading over to
my buddy Lance's place.
He's got a wrecking yard,
and he's definitely interested.
- Hey, buddy, what's going on?
- Hey, Shawn. What's happening?
And I know for a fact
he's open to a multi-car trade
for the Mustang.
What kind of money are you looking for
out of this Chevelle here?
Actually, I got a guy
who put a deposit on this one.
[Shawn] But it seems like
everything I like isn't available.
I got this old Dodge sitting here.
Definitely needs a motor and
Yeah, but it's seen better days,
let me tell you.
And everything he likes
is just too far gone to be worth it.
It's a little rusty
for what I'm looking for.
I really just don't have much else.
Huh.
- [Mark] All right, check this out.
- I see it.
[Mark] Now that it's all in primer,
I wanna mock up all the chrome trim on it
before we take it up to paint.
So, the task of the day
is to take all of these pieces
and figure out where they go on this car.
There's a lot of parts.
This car is a hundred-piece chrome kit.
This is where the build
becomes a real challenge.
- Look at that.
- [Mark] Imagine putting a puzzle together
without a picture of what it looks like
when you're done.
[Tony] What were you thinking here?
What was the plan?
[Constance] I think one goes in the front,
and one goes in the back.
[Mark] All we have to work with
are the parts and pieces he left behind.
That goes all the way from door to door.
That's too short.
[Mark] By process of elimination,
we have to figure out
where every piece goes on this car.
So this piece here
is definitely this piece here.
[Tony] Yeah, that fits.
[Mark] That one was simple.
And then continue this process
- Too small.
- over and over and over
- [Tony] I think that's that one.
- This is the bottom piece to that.
until every single one of these pieces
has a new home.
As challenging as this is
to figure out what Bob was thinking
on a car that he left behind for us,
imagine what we would be going through
if Mark left a car behind for us.
[laughter]
[Mark] Now that we know where Bob
wanted all the chrome,
we can get everything labeled,
and this car can finally go to paint.
With all the chrome that's on this Buick,
there is only one color
that Bob could've had in mind.
Black is like the tuxedo on a classic car.
It's the understated color
that lets the lines on the car
do all the talking.
I gave my word
to a legendary car builder's daughter
that I would finish his last car
and honor his legacy.
Maybe the real story is
I built it up too much in my head,
and I didn't want to disappoint Gina,
and I certainly didn't
want to disappoint Bob.
But the fact is, she took a chance on me,
so you can bet your ass
I'm gonna make sure she wins big.
[engine revs]
This '48 Buick
is the definition of a custom hot rod.
Every inch of this car
has been painstakingly modified
to perfection.
And when you mash the pedal
this Viper motor strikes
and sends you flying down the highway.
It's the type of car
that you cruise during the day
and when the sun sets,
you take it out on the town
and you tear it up.
A car like this
makes you feel like a high roller.
When you pull up in this Buick,
you're pushing all your chips in
and letting it ride.
From the gloss-black paint job
to the custom trim,
the custom interior, all the chrome
shining off the bright lights,
you're winning on every hand.
It's a huge six-figure car
designed by a legend
finished at Gotham Garage
by a bunch of gas-smelling,
greasy-hand talented individuals
that love hot rods.
Do not bet against this car
'cause you will lose every single time.
- [Shawn] Whoa. There it is.
- Hello, Gina.
How are you?
It's so beautiful.
- Do you like it?
- Yes.
So hopefully, we did your dad justice.
Oh, it's so beautiful.
He would've loved it.
My dad would probably say,
"Wow, that's bitchin'."
Yeah. Ha ha ha ha.
To see the expression on her face
"My dad's last car finally got finished
the way he would've done it."
Oh, my gosh. It's so beautiful.
And for her to come in and be that happy
about what it looks like
Oh, my gosh. He would've been so proud.
it makes me
feel really good on the inside.
[starts engine]
- [gasps]
- [Shawn laughs]
[gasps and chuckles]
- [Mark] Rev it up.
- My gosh.
Totally reminds me of my dad.
[Mark] I lived up to her expectations,
which means that
we lived up to Bob's expectations.
[revs engine]
Thank you.
I'm really glad you like it.
I love it.
I'm very, very happy and so grateful.
[Shawn] I think Gina
really wants to take this home.
[M] I'm sure she wants to
back it out of the building
- Oh, yeah.
- I do.
- Leave her car in the parking lot.
- I'll trade you.
Right?
[guys chuckle]
This Anziano Buick turned out awesome,
I have to say.
Bob's last car.
If we could get this thing sold today,
man, would that be
a nice boost for the shop.
This guy David,
he's got a lot of high-end cars,
and he loves the fact that
it's an Anziano car.
This guy has to be a genuine car guy
that understands the history of a car
is as important as the car itself.
If I feel that this guy respects the car
and actually understands the car,
I will take the keys off the key chain,
and I'll hand it to the new owner.
- How are you?
- What's going on?
- Dave, nice to meet you, man.
- Nice to meet you.
[Shawn] Dave's in the game
of buying and collecting a lot of cars.
I think he can appreciate a car like this,
being originally inspired
and built by Bob.
Wow. Beautiful.
Plus, someone told me
he just sold a few cars,
so he's got
a little bit of extra pocket change.
[starts and revs engine]
[guns engine]
- It's pretty quiet.
- [M] Not too bad.
[Dave laughs] That thing's pretty nice.
I love the custom skirts on it.
- Oh, wow.
- [Mark] It's got the V10 in it,
with a six-speed, and it moves.
Sounds awesome.
I like the paint. Like the front end.
You guys did a awesome job with the body.
One of the main things I like
is the engine.
I like driving my cars.
The fact this has a Viper motor in it,
I know I can just get in and go.
Just the body style on the car.
It's just beautiful. I think it's my size.
Definitely like it.
I like cars
that are basically one-off cars.
The fact it was built by a great builder
just makes it that much better.
Now, we kind of threw
couple of figures around on the phone.
We need to get right around 190 for this.
I would offer you 140 grand for it.
- A hundred forty?
- One-forty.
- [Mark] It's like dealing with yourself.
- Yeah, yeah.
I tell you what.
We can go down an extra 10 grand.
We'll go down to 180 for you.
I like to do the dance. If you're
gonna move 10 grand, I'll move 10 grand.
- I'll do 150. How's that?
- That's not the dance I was looking for.
We're talking real money.
We don't gotta be playing around.
You know, I get that fact.
This is hard cash we're talking about.
So I tell you what.
I'm gonna come down all the way to 170.
My absolute best offer I can give you
would be 165.
And that's my absolute.
One sixty-five. What do you think?
I don't got my truck keys on here, so
One sixty-five and a beer.
- Deal?
- You got a deal.
- Sounds good.
- Shake this man's hand, will you?
At 165K, that means
Gina gets 82.5 in her hand,
and this car now has a home.
Let's go do some paperwork.
For all that's happened,
now at least all the bleeding is over,
and all the pain and suffering
is over I hope.
Except for you.
You're still gonna go with me
back to the shop.
I got to figure out
how to get rid of you on the way.
That worked out really well.
Good job, by the way.
Did I Did I mention that to you?
- Thanks. I appreciate it.
- You killed it.
Getting the Buick sold feels great.
We honored Bob's legacy,
and we got Bob's daughter
the money she deserves.
[cell phone rings]
- Hello?
- [Constance] What's up, buttercup?
- Hey, hey. What's going on?
- [Caveman] Check this out.
We got a guy
lined up for the Mustang right now.
- He saw the pictures.
- Do you know what time it is?
[Constance] The problem is
is he travels a lot for work.
He's going out of town.
He wants to see the car tonight.
- [Caveman] Tonight.
- Tonight?
[Caevman] He's got cash,
maybe trade vehicles on his property.
This sounds a bit ridiculous.
I'm not getting this. We're going
Stop, stop, stop, stop.
Hey, Constance, if you're pretty confident
that he's gonna do this,
I will go back to the shop and load it up
and bring it there
'cause I'd like to get rid of the car.
[Caveman] All right. Give us five minutes,
we'll get you an address.
[Shawn] Can't believe we're doing this.
[closing music playing]
[engine revs]
[tires squeal]
- [calliope plays]
- [child] I want to see the show.
