Car Masters: Rust to Riches (2018) s05e07 Episode Script

1
[slow, driving rock music playing]
[Mark] I got a pretty urgent call
from Shawn about the Ferrari deal.
He seemed worried.
So, right now, I've gotta meet
him and Nick in the office
and see what's going on.
[music fades]
Well, that phone call
was a little concerning. What's up?
-I spoke to Graham.
-[Mark] Mm-hmm.
The good news is
the title came back and it's clean.
[Mark] And the bad?
Apparently, Graham's consignment client
has another offer on the car.
He doesn't have
any control over the seller
and what the seller wants to do.
He's pretty cut up about it.
He's He's not happy.
That fact that
Graham is selling this car on consignment
for another owner
has always made this deal a little muddy.
The owner essentially
made Graham the broker for the car,
and he promised it to us for 60 grand.
But, in the meantime, the owner talked
to somebody else and got another offer.
As long as the sale
ultimately goes through Graham,
there's technically nothing wrong with it.
But, unfortunately, that means Graham
is stuck between a rock and a hard place.
Now, so are we.
Well, what's the other guy offering?
I I don't know.
I'll I'll give him a call.
The only thing we can do
is get Graham on the phone
and see if we can hold this deal together.
[line ringing]
-Hey, Nick. What's up?
-Hey, Graham. How are you?
-Good, mate.
-Good. I'm here with Sean and Mark.
Yeah. I'm sorry, guys.
It's out of my control
because he's been marketing the car,
and I didn't know it.
And I know we had a commitment,
but my hands are kinda tied, you know?
Yep. Understandable, man.
No hard feelings. I know it's not you.
Uh, bottom line is,
what's this other guy offering?
Well, he's been offered 75K.
Wow.
That's a quite a bit steeper than 60.
Yeah.
I know. I feel bad because I know
we committed to a deal at 60.
[Nick] Yeah. We understand.
What I was able to do for you,
because of mine
and your relationship, Nick,
if you guys are willing to put 75 grand
down on it, it's your car.
And he agreed to that.
Hey, thanks, Graham. Uh, do you mind
if we put you on hold one quick second?
No. Go ahead.
[phone beeps]
It's a tad bit more than 60.
-It's a lot more.
-That's not even close.
75 grand would be the most this shop
has ever spent on an individual car.
But this project could be
a huge step forward for us
in the high-end collector world.
Unfortunately, we don't have
enough time to talk about this.
It's a It's a big decision.
This is a lot of money for us.
[Mark] Look, I don't wanna throw
the baby out with the bathwater here,
so it's all gonna come down to whether
or not the dollars still make sense.
If we pass on this car right now,
do you think we can come up with
a comparable Ferrari for the same price?
[Nick breathes deeply]
No.
This car in good condition is 100 grand.
So 75 with a clean title,
I think is a pretty good deal.
I think it's pretty fair.
Then I guess we have our answer.
Just, let's go get it. Let's buy it.
-Graham?
-Yes, mate?
We'll do it.
It's yours. I think you can't go wrong
anyway at that price, mate.
[Mark] At the end of the day,
we're just excited to be buying a Ferrari,
so we're just gonna come over right now
with a check and a trailer.
-Sounds good, mate. See you in a bit.
-[Nick] See you in a bit. Bye-bye.
Bye.
Hey, look. Set aside everything
that just happened and think about this.
-We just got ourselves a Ferrari.
-[Nick] Yeah.
[Mark] Guess we're stepping
into the Ferrari crowd.
[chuckles]
So I'm gonna get everybody
to meet us over at the other garage,
we'll go pick up the Ferrari,
and then we'll bring it back
and show everybody their brand-new toy,
and then we'll lay out
a new plan of attack.
[Nick] Yeah.
[clicking]
[whirs]
[engine stalls, revs]
[anthemic rock music playing]
-[Brian] Hey, what's this?
-[Constance] Is that a Ferrari?
-[Caveman] Dude, no. That can't be ours.
-[Jake] No way.
[Tony] Hey. That's the real deal.
-[Mark] How do you like that?
-Check this out.
[Caveman] Wow.
Christmas came early, I guess.
-[all laugh]
-[Tony] Didn't think this deal was ready.
Yeah, slight change in plans,
but let's get this inside,
and we'll walk you through it all.
[Brian] Drive it on in?
-It runs and drives.
-[Brian] Here we go.
They only stole a few parts.
[Caveman] Well,
what are you guys waiting for?
[rock music playing]
Coming in gingerly.
Everything else aside, it's pretty amazing
to have a Ferrari in this shop.
I mean, it's a freaking Ferrari.
[engine revs]
[Caveman] Sounds pretty. Looks pretty.
This is what the whole partnership
with Nick has been leading towards.
That Ferrari looks really good
going into our shop.
[Constance giggles]
But, obviously, this deal didn't go down
exactly according to plan.
[Tony] We've been talking about
a Ferrari forever, and it's finally here.
-You can thank that man next to you.
-[Tony] Thank you, Nick.
-[chuckling] You're welcome. No problem.
-[Tony] Good job.
Basically, here's the deal.
We paid 75 grand for this Ferrari,
and Nick assures me
that we could potentially make
about 200 grand on this car.
So that's gonna be the biggest payday
we've ever gotten
on a single car around here.
-Grand slam.
-[Nick] Absolutely.
-[Shawn] Oh yeah.
-[Caveman] Uh
So all I wanna know is when
do I get to cut something on this thing?
-The top's already gone.
-I wanna cut, but, you know
-Of course you do.
-[Mark] I'm watching you.
[Caveman] Trust me.
I know you're watching.
[laughing]
[Mark] Unfortunately, you're gonna
have to be patient for a minute
because first thing is
Nick's gonna have to track down
all the parts
that were taken off this car.
And, second of all,
this obviously went down pretty quick,
so I need just a few more days
to think this through.
Modifying a car as iconic as a Ferrari
isn't something people do every day.
And if you're gonna do it,
you need to nail it.
So I gotta sit down
and get a game plan in my head
because Ferrari is not the kind of car
where we just dive into and start working.
I don't wanna breathe on this car
until I've mapped out every step.
So in the meantime,
we all need to go back over to Gotham
and jump on that Chevelle.
I still want to get that car done
by the end of the week,
so that we can move past it
and then focus
all our resources on the Ferrari.
Absolutely.
Shawn and Nick,
you guys need to divide and conquer
and track down a buyer for that Chevelle.
In a perfect world,
when that car is finished,
you guys got a buyer ready to go
because we're gonna need that profit
to help fund this Ferrari build.
Definitely.
[Mark] So let's all head back to Gotham
and get that car ready to go.
[Shawn] All right.
[Mark] Now that we have
the Ferrari in house,
it's more important than ever
to get this resto-mod Chevelle sold.
[exciting rock music playing]
We spent 75 grand to purchase the Ferrari,
and, my guess, it's gonna take
about another 30 grand to finish it.
So if we can make
30 grand in profit on the Chevelle,
it'll make everyone feel a lot better
going into this Ferrari build.
Tony, Constance, and Brian already got
a modern dash installed on the inside,
but now we need to take the exterior
fabrication work to a whole new level.
[music ends]
All right, guys,
for the ass end of this car,
I wanna tuck the rear bumper in
so it looks more molded to the car,
but the big thing
we're adding is a rear diffuser.
-Mm-hmm. Okay.
-All right. Cool deal.
[mellow music playing]
Yeah. So this side's
kind of close, but no cigar.
-Tight at the bottom, loose at the top.
-[Jake] Right. Okay.
The whole point of a resto-mod
is a restoration with modifications.
[dramatic music playing]
So you're basically taking the old car
and modifying every single part of it
so that you bring the past and the future
together so that looks seamless.
For example,
bumpers on some of these classic cars
stick out like a sore thumb.
But, nowadays, savvy buyers
want bumpers that look seamless
and conform perfectly to the car.
-Here you go. Four, right?
-[Jake] Oh, those look good.
[Mark] And, frankly,
they just look a whole lot cooler.
One thing
I've considered doing to this car
is shaving off those
nasty metal drip rails around the windows.
There's a chance
a really keen buyer might notice them.
But it's really complicated
and risky fab work
with the potential to really screw up
the roof of the car if you do it wrong.
[Jake] Let's look at it.
[Mark] And, in the end,
I still think we're gonna
do more than enough to the Chevelle
to hit our target of 60 grand.
[Jake] What do you think?
[Mark] I like it.
So that looks pretty badass.
[Jake] Yeah.
So it's exactly like you wanted it?
Almost. It's not painted,
and it ain't done.
-Okay. Cool.
-[all chuckling]
I think in the morning,
I'm gonna spend some time at home
working on a design plan for the Ferrari.
So you guys get this back end polished up
-Okay.
-while Tony, Brian, and Constance
keep working on the front of the car.
-[Caveman] Yeah.
-I'll meet everyone here when I'm done.
-[Jake] Cool.
-Cool.
-Good job, Caveman.
-What'd I do now?
[crickets chirping]
-[wind gusting]
-[gentle electronic music playing]
[Mark] Ever since we first
looked at that 360 Spider,
I've spent all of my free time
researching Ferraris
and figuring out
the best way to approach this build.
It's a lot of pressure
because Ferrari has
such a deep-rooted history in design.
So how do you modify perfection
without upsetting the Ferrari aficionados?
If you don't thread the needle,
that whole community
is gonna turn their back on you.
But the real challenge is
that I need to come up with an idea
that not only reflects
the style and attitude of this shop,
but also does this car justice.
I think I'm really getting close,
but with this project,
close won't be good enough.
[upbeat rock music playing]
[Shawn] Terry,
this is a really nice resto-mod.
It's all modern inside.
Car drives absolutely perfect.
And all of this can be yours
for 60,000 bucks.
Sounds like a cool car. It's up my alley.
Uh, when are you trying to unload it by?
The car is gonna be done
by the end of the week.
And as soon as the car is ready,
we're hoping to have a buyer ready to go.
Ah, I don't even know if I'll have
the leaves raked up in my yard by then.
[Terry chuckles]
Little too soon to pull the trigger.
-She'd kill me.
-Oh, really?
Now that we have the Ferrari in hand,
Nick and I have been working
the phones around the clock
trying to find a buyer for our Chevelle.
Hey, Marianne.
It's Shawn from Gotham Garage.
Hey. How are you, Shawn?
Nathaniel,
I'm calling about that Chevelle.
I'm calling all my hot rod contacts,
and he's calling everyone he knows
that might be in the market
for a muscle car.
[Marianne] It sounds great,
but it's gonna take me
about a month to get the cash.
A A month?
[Nathaniel] I'd love to see it,
but I'm out of town right now.
-Uh, how long are you out?
-At least two weeks.
[groans]
[Shawn] Trying to find a buyer
who's willing to throw down 60 grand
on a hurry-up timeline, that ain't easy,
even with both of us on the case.
If you, uh, get a change of heart,
hit me back, will you?
[man] Definitely.
[Shawn] We have a very expensive Ferrari
sitting at the other shop.
And once we start that build,
the budget on that car
is gonna start growing quickly.
So selling this Chevelle for 60 grand
and selling it quickly
is a must right now
because we're gonna need
every penny we can get
to help finish that Ferrari.
This should be an easy sell for us.
The time is the the killer.
It's I'm drawing the same blanks.
[clears throat]
So I did have one idea
I wanted to run by you.
What about Ryan?
The guy that we built
that furniture for a few weeks ago.
He's a hot rod guy, right?
-[inhales deeply]
-You know him better than I do,
but it does seem like
a car that's up his alley, right?
He's got a hell of a collection.
He's And he's really particular.
Ryan loved the furniture
that the shop built,
but the deal was he'd commission a build
from the shop sometime in the future,
and he'd be involved
in the build from start to finish.
But that car has got some
elegant lines to it, some nice features.
He might He might go for it.
Ryan is definitely the kind of client
that would be into a high-priced Chevelle,
but it'll all come down to whether or not
he's in the market to buy a car right now.
-It's worth giving him a call, isn't it?
-Yeah, it wouldn't hurt.
-I'll give him a call. I'll be back.
-Let me know how you make out.
[Nick] I will.
We got nothing else.
[heavy rock music playing]
[Tony] Let's talk about this bumper.
What we really wanna do is take
this bumper and tuck it in real tight.
We basically wanna mold it to the body.
So grab Brian,
and let's get working on it.
[raps table] Sounds good.
[mellow electronic music playing]
Sixty grand for a Chevelle is a lot.
That's why this car needs
a ton of very meticulous
and very technical fab work.
That's really what a buyer
will appreciate in a resto-mod like this.
[music ends]
[Tony] How big's your gap?
[Brian] A quarter inch
when I'm at the top.
The bumper has to come your way.
We gotta split the difference
and get it evened up.
On these old cars,
the front bumpers look pretty dated.
They're a detachable piece,
and they protrude off the front end.
We wanna give this '69 Chevelle
that modern look
of a molded, smooth bumper.
[dramatic music playing]
Tucking in the bumper
means getting the bumper tight and fitted
to the body of the car.
Hey, Brian, I think
my side looks pretty good.
[Brian] My side is lining up.
-[Tony] How's it look, Constance?
-Yeah. I think we're good.
[Tony] Last piece of our puzzle.
Hey, Mark,
come check out your chin lip spoiler.
We got the lip on the front of the bumper.
It's all set up.
I like the way it's all pushed back in.
I like the chin lip spoiler on it.
[Tony] A few little changes to that bumper
just changes the whole look of the car.
[Jake] Yeah.
It looks fast just sitting there.
-Yeah, it looks pretty good. I'm stoked.
-[Tony] What's next?
[Mark] Well, I'm really getting close
on that Ferrari design plan.
I just have
a few more details to iron out tonight.
And then, in the morning,
we'll meet over at the other garage,
and then I'll go over with everybody
how we're gonna attack this Ferrari
and what we're gonna do to it.
-And I get to cut the top off.
-What?
It's a convertible.
-[chuckling]
-Yeah, so?
It'll be the easiest thing you do.
You push the button
and you hold it till it's down.
-What fun is that?
-It's fun if you like pushing buttons.
No. That'd be my ex-wife.
She likes pushing buttons.
[all laughing]
Yeah.
[Mark] Let's meet in the morning.
[dramatic music playing]
[air hissing]
[music intensifies]
[Mark] I stayed up late last night
finalizing my vision for the Ferrari.
And I think
I've come up with the perfect plan.
But it's a pretty bold idea,
and it's gonna involve
some very high-level craftsmanship.
So I wanna
get the crew together right now,
talk it through, and make sure
we're on the same page.
All right, so gather up, you guys.
So we got all the pieces
from Nick for this Ferrari.
[Jake] Cool.
Now, I've spent the last few days
looking at a lot of pictures of Ferraris,
been looking at all the vintage stuff,
the new stuff.
They've done some
really cool design stuff over the years.
So I figured, why don't we take all
the coolest design features that they have
and apply them all to this one Ferrari?
I gotcha. So we're still gonna chop it up.
We're just gonna keep it Ferrari.
-Ferraris more.
-Plural.
Basically, the car needs to be a collage
of the best Ferraris of all time.
That sounds pretty cool.
[Mark] Historically, these cars are known
for being handcrafted works of art.
So what I wanna do with this car
is take some of the best parts
off of other Ferraris over the years.
It'll be Gotham Garage's
personal homage to Ferrari.
[dramatic music playing]
To create this collage,
we'll start with the hood.
We'll give it
a very unique inverted hood scoop,
just like you would see
on a modern Ferrari supercar.
Then we'll transition to the front bumper,
and we'll make it sit
super low to the ground
as a callback to Ferrari's dominance
in Formula One racing.
In the back of the car,
we'll exaggerate the rear quarter panels,
similar to their Le Mans cars
of the late '60s.
On the inside, we're gonna give it
a modern Gotham Garage update.
We'll give it front and rear cameras
that connect to the rearview mirror.
And to finish it off,
that's where we'll personalize the car.
We're gonna give it
a bright green paint scheme,
and then we'll top it off
with some rose gold wheels,
so that everyone that sees this car
will know it was built at Gotham Garage.
[music ends]
So that's the plan.
So we're really gonna go wild on this car,
but first things first,
I wanna start modifying that hood.
Cool.
-Cutting up a Ferrari.
-Yeah, we are.
[Constance and Caveman chuckle]
[exciting electronic music playing]
Don't strain yourself.
This thing weighs
about as much as a Frisbee.
[Mark] The inspiration
for this reverse hood scoop is something
that you would see off a Ferrari supercar,
specifically the LaFerrari.
The LaFerrari was
a limited edition Ferrari built in 2017.
They only made 499 of these cars,
and they were built to be
the definitive Ferrari.
Originally,
they were sold for 1.4 million.
So I'm thinking,
if we take the inspiration
from that very desirable design style
and recreate this inverted hood scoop,
it'll add major value to this car.
-[Jake] There. There you go. There it is.
-[Mark] Yeah, there you go.
-Man.
-[Jake] Just like that.
Look at that.
[Mark] So first piece is off.
Little stressful, but now we already know
what we're working against.
Now we can get down to business.
[epic music playing]
[Tony] Mark's vision
for the Ferrari is super unique,
but it's definitely a big swing.
[Mark] We'll grab this so it rolls in.
[Tony] We're pulling features
off of different cars
that all had very different design styles.
So what's that all gonna look like
when it gets applied to one car?
I trust that Mark's gonna make it work,
but it is a very fine line to walk.
[Mark] Some of the nicest aluminum
I've ever welded.
[Tony] It's all gonna be about
subtly implementing these features
so they all integrate
into the car seamlessly.
But we also need them to stand out enough
that a collector will recognize them.
Man, check out Jake's aluminum welds.
[Mark] Look. Now there's a guy
that knows what he's doing.
[Jake] That's right.
It came together so seamless in there,
it looks like it's factory.
[Mark] That all ties itself together.
[Brian] With the carbon blade in
and everything.
[Mark] Yep. All right. Well, tomorrow,
we all need to get back on the Chevelle.
[Jake] Yeah.
I just texted with Shawn,
and Nick, and Ryan.
Remember we did the man cave for him?
He's interested in the Chevelle.
-[Tony] That's good.
-[Jake] Yeah.
[Caveman] Right on.
[Mark] I wanna go over
all the details tomorrow
to make sure this sale goes through.
-[Tony] Finish time.
-[Jake] Good job, guys.
[dramatic rock music playing]
Hey, Ryan. Nick Smith. How are you?
[Mark] According to Nick, Ryan is
definitely in buying mode right now,
but he's actually been in the market
for a brand-new car.
So this Chevelle deal is no sure thing.
Ryan's a discerning collector.
And since he didn't commission
this build from the start,
we need to absolutely blow him away.
So before we paint the car,
I wanna add one more high-end modification
that will potentially
tip the scales in our favor.
[music ends]
Well, uh, since Ryan's our buyer,
we gotta do something over-the-top,
something to make sure
this deal goes through.
So we'll do what you're not supposed to
and shave the drip rail off this car.
[Tony and Caveman chuckling]
[Mark] I had scratched off
doing the drip rails earlier
because it's a risky move.
But Ryan is the exact kind of buyer
that will for sure notice
the flaw if we don't fix it.
And we can't afford
to lose this deal right now,
especially over that kind of small detail.
That is gonna make the difference between
a '69 Chevelle and a badass '69 Chevelle.
The drip rails on an old car
are tiny pieces of metal
that run along the top of the windows
and act like a rain gutter.
They are a nasty eyesore,
and everyone hates them.
I'm not gonna disagree, man.
That'd be a nice touch,
but you know
how structural the drip rail is.
[Mark] People avoid shaving them off
because they're
actually attached to the roof,
and when you shave them off,
there's a chance that you can do
irreparable damage to the roof.
But if we're surgical and we do it right,
it's a modification
that will make this car very desirable.
It's gotta blow him away to the point of,
"Yeah, I'm buying that today right now.
Here's my money."
-All right, well
-It's all or nothing.
I guess we're doing drip rails.
Drip rail time.
[mellow rock music playing]
[Jake] Shaving off the drip rails
isn't for the faint of heart.
If you cut it in the wrong way
or in the wrong spot,
you could ruin the whole car.
[Brian] As far as this fab work goes,
this is almost like
open-heart surgery on the car.
-[chuckling] Really. It is.
-Yeah.
So as soon as
you start cutting this drip rail,
all three pieces wanna separate.
That's why you have to stitch weld it.
It's basically a bridge.
So that when you cut out the longer piece,
it's held there and there.
-And it won't try to separate on itself.
-Okay.
[dramatic electronic music playing]
I think we should tack here, then there.
-Yeah.
-[Jake] Would you?
[Brian] As you start welding
the drip rail up,
you have to watch the roof while you weld.
You gotta make sure that
where you cut it stayed together
and it's being welded and not separating.
Maybe, like, in the middle.
[Tony] Wait. I gotta hold it down.
-[Brian] Ready?
-Ready.
It's a meticulous thing,
and you you have to do it the right way.
Our line is straight, but we're
off of this edge just a little bit.
I think we should adjust this,
like, from here down.
[Brian] All right.
[music continues]
You know, it's crazy
that such a tiny piece on the car
-could be so important, actually.
-Right.
And you don't know that
till you start cutting it all apart.
[music ends]
[Tony] What do you think?
[suspenseful beat playing]
I'm liking it.
It looks exactly like I hoped it would.
It's totally straight,
and there's no kinks in it.
Yeah. Definitely gives you that sexy look.
-It's a lot cleaner. Yeah.
-Oh yeah.
-Classy.
-[chuckles]
[Mark] I'll get this thing
painted in the morning,
and then we can finish it off
and show it to Ryan.
-[Tony] Yeah.
-[Mark] And, hopefully, if he likes it,
we can get some money in the door
to finish that Ferrari project.
-Yeah. We're almost there.
-[Mark] Cool. Good job.
[slow, anthemic rock music playing]
[Mark] For the color on this car,
I'm going with a super glossy royal blue.
The blue will draw your eye
to every line of the car
and put all of this amazing metal work
on display.
[music intensifies]
The exterior of the car
is all about that sleek, clean look,
and I want it all out there
in the open for Ryan to see.
Hey, if you got it, flaunt it,
and this car has definitely got it.
I like it, man. It really pops
on this car. It looks really good.
Everything that's on that shelf
and those tables over there
has gotta get back on this car.
So we're just all
gonna have to hustle and get it together.
Sounds good.
[Tony] This '69 Chevelle
is really coming together.
It looks slick and modern.
It's got all the features you would want
from a Gotham Garage resto-mod.
[Jake] Loving the energy today, guys.
[all laughing]
-[Tony] We been working around the clock.
-[Caveman chuckles]
[music continues]
[Tony] In an ideal world,
this is exactly what Ryan was looking for
[Mark] Looking good.
and he buys it for 60 grand,
no questions asked.
[Jake] All that extra time and effort,
it really comes out in the end.
[Constance] So nice.
[Tony] Then we get the money
we need to fund the Ferrari build,
and we can move on
to that car stress-free.
That's the goal here.
[music continues]
[whirring, clicking]
[music ends]
[wind whistling]
[engine starts, revs]
[heavy rock music playing]
[Mark] This car is
the definition of modern muscle.
It has the old-school feel
of a badass muscle car on the outside.
But when you're sitting on the inside,
it gives you all the comfort
you need from a modern car.
We took a blank slate Chevelle
that had a whole lot of nothing,
and then just went bonkers.
With the tucked bumpers
and that race-inspired diffuser
in the back,
it just looks like a bullet.
And those shaved drip rails give it
that extra touch just to set it all off.
On the inside, that modern dash
gives it all the high-tech features.
I think this car is easily worth 60 grand.
But, obviously,
Ryan's gonna be the judge of that.

Let's hope
Ryan falls in love with this '69 Chevelle.
[Mark] How could he not, my friend?
-He's getting a lot of bang for his buck.
-[Mark] Yeah.
-Oh, there he is now.
-Well, here are the gents. Here's Ryan.
-How're you doing, Ryan?
-Good to see you again.
-Hey, Ryan. How's it going?
-Shawn. Good.
Ryan, as a collector,
certainly has an old-school aesthetic,
and I'm sure he's gonna appreciate
all the intricate work that Mark
and the team did to the Chevelle.
But keep in mind,
Ryan didn't commission this build
and he hasn't been involved
from start to finish,
and, currently, he's been on the search
for a brand-new car from a dealership.
So this is no sure thing by any means.
-[Shawn] Huh?
-Wow.
-[Mark] '69 Chevelle.
-[Shawn] Take it all in. Here it is.
Wow. That is not what I was expecting.
[tense music playing]
[Mark] Hmm.
[Ryan] When I talked with Nick,
Mark, and Shawn about a build,
I figured six months
to a year down the line,
so I was surprised when Nick called me
about a car they were building.
But the man cave turned out great,
so I figured it was worth it
to come down and take a look.
[Mark] We kind of went with
that resto-mod.
Yeah.
[Mark] So we're keeping
all the American muscle,
all the old school,
but it's a new-school car
underneath all that sheet metal.
That being said,
if I don't like what I see,
I'm gonna hold my cash for down the road.
[Mark] So everything on this car
has been shaved and smoothed.
All the marker lights are gone.
We took the drip rail off the side.
That's interesting.
And, uh, we also moved the gas tank
filler cap up into the rear panel,
so that we could put
this diffuser in there.
-[Ryan] Yeah, absolutely.
-Still got the factory tank in it.
It's brand-new,
but it fills from a different spot now.
[Ryan] Huh.
[tense music continues]
[Shawn] Ryan obviously plays things
a little close to the vest,
but we need this deal
to go down right now.
Yeah. You know,
this is probably not the build
I would have commissioned, uh,
from the ground up.
[Shawn] We've got a very expensive build
sitting at the other shop,
and finishing it ain't gonna be cheap.
So selling this car for 60 grand
and rolling the profit
into the Ferrari is essential.
Yeah. There's a couple of things
on here that I wouldn't have asked for.
[Shawn] Tell me, what are you thinking?
