Ford Galaxie - Part 2/nash healey

Narrator: RIGHT NOW ON "FAST N' LOUD"... HOOOOOAARHAAAAROOOH! LAST WEEK, HOT ROD HUNTER RICHARD RAWLINGS AND MASTER MECHANIC AARON KAUFMAN WENT SEARCHING FOR A "GALAXIE" FAR, FAR AWAY -- A '67 FORD GALAXIE FROM ROSWELL, NEW MEXICO. BUT THEIR MISSION TO TURN IT INTO THE ULTIMATE MUSCLE CAR... PULL THAT AWAY FROM THE TRUCK! ...QUICKLY BURNED THROUGH THEIR FEARLESS LEADER'S CASH. I'M SCREWED HERE. AND I'M RUNNING OUT OF TIME. Narrator: THINGS STARTED LOOKING UP ON A TRIP TO LA-LA LAND... I think they make *** here! Narrator: ...WHERE RICHARD SCORED A COUPLE OF RARE AMERICAN CLASSICS... OW! THAT'S WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT. ...AND QUICKLY FLIPPED THE '32 PLYMOUTH FOR SOME READY CASH. Auctioneer: SOLD! SOLD! SOLD! Narrator: THE CELEBRATION CONTINUED DURING A SIDE TRIP TO DENVER UNTIL AARON WAS ENSNARED BY LOCAL WILDLIFE. I GOT A LITTLE DELAYED. LET'S GO GIRLS. YEAH! Narrator: NOW, BEHIND ON THE BUILD AND WITH THE GALAXIE COSTS SKYROCKETING, RICHARD TRIES TO MAKE BIG BUCK WITH A MINI CAR AND SETS UP A TRAP TO UNLOAD HIS NASH HEALEY. YOU'RE GONNA BUY MY CAR FROM ME BECAUSE YOU'RE GONNA MAKE SO MUCH MONEY ON THIS ONE. PBHT! BUT WITH AARON STILL M.I.A. AND CHRISTIE DISSING NASCAR ROYALTY... I'M GLAD WE FINALLY GOT TOGETHER. GET A LIFE. ...IS GAS MONKEY FINALLY READY TO CALL IT A DAY? HOLD ON! PULL THE TRIGGER. I DON'T CARE. COME ON! -- Captions by VITAC -- www.vitac.com CAPTIONS PAID FOR BY DISCOVERY COMMUNICATIONS SO, IT'S BEEN A PRETTY ROUGH WEEK AT GAS MONKEY GARAGE. I BOUGHT A '67 FORD GALAXIE, BUT IT'S NOWHERE NEAR FINISHED. I BOUGHT A REALLY RARE NASH HEALEY ROADSTER THAT I THINK I CAN FLIP FOR A BUNCH OF CASH, BUT I GOT TO WAIT TO PULL THE TRIGGER ON THAT. SO, NOW I'M ENDING THE WEEK $67,000 IN THE HOLE. AND, TO TOP ALL THAT OFF, AARON, MY NUMBER-ONE MECHANIC, IS NOWHERE TO BE FOUND SINCE OUR LITTLE TRIP TO DENVER. SO, I'M NOT ONE TO CRY OVER SPILLED MILK OR BEER OR WHATEVER. I TAKE MATTERS INTO MY OWN HANDS. HEY, TOM! WHY DON'T YOU GO GET A CLEAN SHIRT? WE'RE GOING ON A ROAD TRIP... AND YOU'RE DRIVING. OKAY. SHIRT AND DRAWERS, TOO? OR JUST SHIRT? I DON'T CARE ABOUT YOUR DRAWERS. OKAY. SO, FOLKS, HERE WE ARE AT WORLDWIDE AUCTION IN HOUSTON, TEXAS -- ONE OF MY FAVORITE PLACES TO BE. DO YOU KNOW WHY? A LOT OF MONEY WALKING AROUND AND A LOT OF COOL CARS. THERE'S A LOT OF DINERO CHANGING HANDS HERE, EVEN A CHARITY OR TWO HOPING TO GET A PIECE OF THE ACTION, WHICH IS EXACTLY WHY I DECIDED TO BRING MY MESSERSCHMITT HERE. DON'T LOOK AT ME LIKE YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT. YOU KNOW THAT LITTLE THREE-WHEELED MICRO CAR THAT I BOUGHT IN VEGAS A COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO? IT WAS PREVIOUSLY OWNED BY EVEL KNIEVEL. THE GUY WHO JUMPED MOTORCYCLES. Kaufman: WHAAAAOO! I CAN FEEL THE FUTURE! IT'S SO CLOSE! AARON AND I HAD SOME FUN WITH IT, BUT IT'S TIME FOR IT TO GO. SO TOM'S HERE WITH ME, AND HE'S GONNA HELP ME GET IT UP ON THE BLOCK AND HOPEFULLY SOLD. ALL THAT CAR NEEDS TO DO IS DRIVE ACROSS THE STAGE, TWIRL AROUND, AND MAKE ME SOME CASH. Smith: OH, NICE. ***. I NEVER MET EVEL KNIEVEL PERSONALLY, BUT I KNOW HIS WORK. I CAN'T, IN A THOUSAND YEARS, IMAGINE EVEL KNIEVEL CLIMBING IN THAT GOOFY LITTLE MESSERSCHMITT AND DRIVING IT AROUND. I MEAN, A GUY THAT WENT AND JUMPED OVER CAESARS PALACE AND THEN GOT IN THIS THING TO GO HOME? I CAN'T WRAP MY MIND AROUND THAT. MAYBE IF YOU WERE, LIKE, UNDER SOME MEDICATION OR SOMETHING. I MEAN, I KNOW YOU ATE A LOT OF PAIN PILLS. YOU BROKE EVERY BONE IN YOUR BODY. I MEAN, YOU FLEW INTO THE SIDE OF SNAKE RIVER CANYON. WELL, YOU KNOW, SOMETIMES SOME SETTLING OCCURS DURING SHIPPING? [ LAUGHS ] I THINK THAT HAPPENED TO SOME OF THE GRAY MATTER, AND THAT'S HOW HE ENDED UP WITH THAT. DAMN SURE WOULDN'T PUT MY NAME ON THE SIDE OF IT. I HOPE TO GO FIND MYSELF A HELMET BECAUSE I GOT TO DRIVE THAT MESSERSCHMITT ACROSS THE AUCTION BLOCK. THE POWER AND THE TORQUE OF THAT THING IS JUST INSANE. I HOPE I CAN HANDLE IT. I HOPE I DON'T EMBARRASS THE SHOP. I GOT A CLEAN SHIRT ON. I GOT CLEAN HANDS. I THINK WE'RE GONNA DO VERY WELL, AND I THINK SOMEONE'S GONNA GET THEM A VERY NICE CAR, AND I HOPE RICHARD MAKES LOTS OF MONEY SO HE CAN DRAG ME DOWN HERE NEXT YEAR. Auctioneer: THIS IS A 1958 MESSERSCHMITT KR200 CABRIOLET. Rawlings: I'M HOPING I MAKE LOTS OF MONEY ON IT, TOO. I ONLY PAID 10 GRAND FOR IT, AND I'M BANKING ON GETTING DOUBLE THAT OR MORE. HELL, THEY SET A WORLD RECORD FOR ONE OF THESE A COUPLE WEEKS AGO FOR $109,000. SO, WHAT'S THIS THING WORTH? I HAVE NO IDEA, BUT IT IS COOL. Auctioneer: FORMERLY OWNED BY THE FAMOUS OR MAYBE INFAMOUS EVEL KNIEVEL. THAT IS HILARIOUS. LOOKS GOOD. IT'S COOL. YEP, THAT'S MY GOOD BUDDY DENNIS HERE. HE'S GOT A CAR IN THE AUCTION, TOO, BUT MORE ON THAT ONE LATER. RIGHT NOW, I JUST GOT TO GET THIS MESSERSCHMITT SOLD. EVERYBODY LOVES EVEL KNIEVEL. THIS LOOKS LIKE ONE OF THE FEW THINGS HE DIDN'T WRECK. START IT WHEREVER YOU LIKE, GUYS. $40,000. IT'S GONNA BE SOLD TODAY TO THE HIGH BIDDER. AT $40,000. HERE WE GO. [ CALLING ] $30,000. I GOT $15,000. NOW $20,000? $20,000? HE-E-Y! $22,000? $22,000? $23,000? $23,000? $23,000. $24,000? Rawlings: I TELL YOU WHAT, FOLKS. THIS IS HOW AN AUCTION SHOULD BE -- TAKES OFF FAST AND KEEPS GOING UP. AND SOMETIMES, WHEN YOU GET MOMENTUM LIKE THIS, YOU CAN THROW IN A LITTLE ADDITIONAL INCENTIVE TO FIRE THINGS UP EVEN MORE. Auctioneer: $27,000. $28,000. Rawlings: SO, I MADE A DECISION TO HELP OUT WITH THE CHARITIES THAT ARE ASSOCIATED WITH THE AUCTION. Auctioneer: HERE, LISTEN TO THIS. LISTEN UP. THE GOOD GUYS AT GAS MONKEY HAVE DECIDED TO DONATE $5,000 TO HOLY ANGELS, ONE OF OUR CONCOURS CHARITY. [ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ] Rawlings: AND THAT WAS PERFECT BECAUSE IT DROVE THE BIDDING JUST A LITTLE BIT MORE. Auctioneer: GOOD GUYS WITH GOOD HEARTS. $27,000? $28,500. $29,000? YEAH! $29,000. $30,000? $32,000. $33,000? $33,000 ONCE. $33,000 FOR THE SECOND TIME. $33,000 FOR THE THIRD. FAIR WARNING. [ GAVEL STRIKES ] SOLD! IT'S GOING TO EUROPE! SOLD! $32,000! Rawlings: GREAT PAYDAY FOR GAS MONKEY. MADE 17 GRAND ON IT. YOU CAN'T DO BETTER THAN THAT. AND WE HELPED SOME CHARITY. THE HOLY ANGELS FOUNDATION IS GREAT, AND WE JUST LOVE IT. I'M GLAD TO BE HERE. Butler: SO, AFTER A FEW HICCUPS, BIG OLD COYOTE MOTOR'S FINALLY GOING IN THE CAR. RICHARD'S ON US PRETTY HARD ABOUT THIS CAR. HE WANTED IT DONE IN 10 DAYS. WE'RE ON DAY 8. AND YOU KNOW RICHARD -- TIME EQUALS MONEY. SO WE GOT TO GET THIS THING DONE PRETTY QUICK. OUR OIL PAN CLEARS, OUR ALTERNATOR CLEARS. I DON'T THINK WE'LL HAVE ANY MORE HEADACHES WITH THE MOTOR. NOW I GOT TO GET THESE HEADERS IN SO WE CAN GET THE FRONT CLIP ON. NICE! WELL, ONE DOWN, ONE TO GO. THE PASSENGER SIDE? NO PROBLEM -- PLENTY OF ROOM. THE DRIVER'S SIDE? THAT'S A WHOLE NOTHER STORY. HOW THE [BLEEP] DID IT FIT IN HERE? IT'S GONNA HAVE TO COME UP. GIVE ME A HAMMER. [ GROANS ] PROBLEM IS THERE'S A STEERING GEARBOX DOWN THERE -- KIND OF AN IMPORTANT PART. ANYWAY, THE FREAKING HEADER'S HITTING IT. DUDE, IT'S REAL CLOSE. NOW, I COULD CALL AARON, OR I COULD JUST ASK W.W.A.D. [ CHUCKLES ] WHAT WOULD AARON DO? I THINK I LIKE THE SECOND ONE BETTER. LET'S JUST CUT IT. CUT IT HERE, HERE, AND HERE, AND THEN... YEAH. WE FIGURED WE COULD CUT IT, HEAT IT UP, BEND IT ENOUGH JUST SO IT CLEARS THE GEARBOX -- SHOULDN'T BE TOO HARD. HELLO? OH, NOTHING. WORKING ON THIS HEADER. ALL RIGHT. ALL RIGHT. ALL RIGHT. OKAY. ALL RIGHT. OH [BLEEP] WHAT? HE GOT US ANOTHER GEARBOX. IT'S, LIKE, HALF THE SIZE OF THE ONE ON THE CAR. AND HE SAID, "DO NOT CUT THE HEADER." I SAID, "OKAY." I DIDN'T TELL HIM WE ALREADY CUT IT. TURNS OUT, THE ANSWER TO "WHAT WOULD AARON DO?" HE'D GET A SMALLER GEARBOX. NOW ME AND JOSH, WE HAVE A BIG MESS ON OUR HANDS. I GUESS WE'LL JUST HEAT IT UP AND WELD IT BACK TOGETHER AND... I'M NOT WELDING THAT [BLEEP] BACK TOGETHER. I HAVE A STOCK ONE AT HOME WE CAN JUST HAVE. YOU HAVE A STOCK HEADER JUST LIKE THIS? REALLY?! YOU REALLY HAVE A [BLEEP] STOCK HEADER? [ Laughing ] YEAH! I AIN'T WELDING THIS [BLEEP] BACK UP! OKAY, COOL. THE WAY I SEE IT, WHAT AARON DOESN'T KNOW WON'T HURT HIM. THAT'S A [BLEEP] WASTE OF TIME. YEP. A WHOLE HOUR. CRAP. EVEN WHEN AARON'S AWAY, HE'S ALWAYS WORKING. YOU KNOW, I WISH I HADN'T MISSED MY FLIGHT. I'M GONNA HAVE TO STAY HERE IN DENVER ANOTHER DAY. OH, YOU'LL LOVE IT. OH, I ALREADY DO! WHOO! [ WOMEN GIGGLING ] [ TELEPHONE RINGS ] GAS MONKEY GARAGE. THIS IS CHRISTIE. Hey, it's Dale Earnhardt Jr. Is Richard or Aaron there? I'M SORRY. WHO IS THIS? Brimberry: SO, LATELY, WE'VE HAD A BUNCH OF PRANK CALLS. I'VE HAD ELVIS, WE'VE HAD KIDS, I'VE HAD PEOPLE SELLING FAKE CARS. AND NOW, TODAY, I GOT SOME GUY CALLING, SAYING THAT HE'S DALE EARNHARDT JR. DALE EARNHARDT JR. WOULD NOT BE CALLING GAS MONKEY'S MAIN NUMBER. SURELY SOME OF THEIR PEOPLE WOULD GET IN TOUCH WITH SOME OF OUR PEOPLE. THEY'RE NOT GONNA CALL MY MAIN NUMBER. YEAH, OKAY. STOP PLAYING. OKAY. BYE. Anderson: SO, I SNUCK OUT AT LUNCH, PICKED UP THAT STOCK HEADER I HAD AT MY PLACE. GET THIS NEW ONE ON, AND AARON WILL NEVER KNOW. HOLD ON... 'CAUSE HERE'S THE NEW GEARBOX, BUT IT'S THE SAME WIDTH THIS WAY. IT'S SMALLER THIS WAY, JUST NOT SMALLER THE WAY WE NEEDED IT. SO, YOU REMEMBER THAT HEADER WE WERE [BLEEP] WITH? I DON'T KNOW WHAT WE DID WITH IT. I HID IT SO WE WOULDN'T GET IN TROUBLE FOR CUTTING IT. WELL, WE MIGHT WANT TO GRAB THAT BECAUSE THIS AIN'T GONNA WORK. YOU KNOW WHERE I HID IT AT? [BLEEP] COLD. I BET IT IS. [BLEEP] YOU, I'M OUT. MNH-MNH. TURNS OUT, WE'RE NOT THE SCREW-UPS EVERYONE THOUGHT WE WERE. THE GEARBOX AARON SENT US IS STILL TOO BIG. SO WHAT WE'RE GONNA DO IS WE'RE GONNA GO BACK TO OUR ORIGINAL PLANS. LET'S TRY IT. PERFECT FIT. SCORE ONE FOR JORDAN AND THE NEW GUY. I THINK THAT WENT PRETTY SMOOTH. Narrator: COMING UP, LOOK WHO'S BACK IN TOWN. AND THE VERY FIRST NASH HEALEY HITS THE AUCTION BLOCK. SO, IF THIS ONE BRINGS $1 MILLION, WHAT'S MINE WORTH? $200,000, $250,000. [ LAUGHS ] WHOO! [ TELEPHONE RINGS ] GAS MONKEY GARAGE. THIS IS CHRISTIE. [ Speaking indistinctly ] OKAY, SO, THIS IS THE SECOND TIME YOU'VE CALLED. I DON'T HAVE TIME TO PLAY AROUND ON THE PHONE. PLEASE DON'T CALL ANYMORE. THANK YOU. [ TELEPHONE BEEPS ] ALL RIGHT. SO, THE MOTOR'S IN. WHAT'S NEXT ON IT? I GUESS WE CAN GO AHEAD AND PUT THE FENDER ON OVER THERE AND START PUTTING THE FRONT END OF THE CAR BACK ON. Butler: JOSH AND I GOT THE HEADERS MOUNTED ON THE COYOTE MOTOR. SO THIS GALAXIE SHOULD HAVE ENOUGH MUSCLE TO KICK BUTT. OF COURSE, WE STILL CAN'T FIRE IT UP. WE'RE STILL MISSING A FEW IMPORTANT THINGS -- YOU KNOW, LIKE A TRANNY. ALL WE CAN DO NOW IS WRAP IT ALL UP, MAKE IT LOOK NICE FOR WHEN AARON GETS HERE. WHAT DO YOU THINK? I LIKE IT. LOOKS GOOD. WE'RE OUT OF STUFF TO DO. THE TRANNY'S SUPPOSED TO BE HERE SOMETIME. I JUST DON'T KNOW WHEN. YOU AND ME BOTH. I GUESS LET'S GO [BLEEP] OFF WITH THE BEST OF THEM. Rawlings: SO, I TOLD YOU I CAME TO THIS AUCTION TO SELL THE MESSERSCHMITT, BUT I GOT A HIDDEN AGENDA ON THIS ONE BECAUSE DENNIS IS HERE TO SELL HIS NASH HEALEY. I GOT TO SEE WHAT THAT GOES FOR. DUDE, IT LOOKS GOOD. LOOKS AS GOOD AS WHEN YOU BROUGHT IT TO MY SHOP THAT TIME. YEAH, THAT WAS 2 1/2 YEARS OF HARD WORK. Rawlings: PRICE "UPON REQUEST?" WHAT DOES THAT MEAN? GENERALLY, THAT MEANS SEVEN FIGURES. WELL, I KNOW, BUT IF YOU DON'T ASK, THEN YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT THE PRICE IS AND IT SAYS "UPON REQUEST." YEAH, BUT THE PEOPLE THAT COME TO THESE AUCTIONS UNDERSTAND THAT "PRICE UPON REQUEST" IS SEVEN FIGURES, IT'S NOT SIX. IF YOU HAVE TO ASK, YOU PROBABLY CAN'T AFFORD IT. YOU THINK THAT'S GONNA BRING $1 MILLION? DAMN! IT'S THE FIRST AMERICAN SPORTS CAR EVER BUILT, AND IT'S SERIAL NUMBER 1. NO, YOU DON'T! WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT? BOUGHT IT IN L.A. [ LAUGHS ] YOU WANT TO BET?! I DON'T KNOW WHAT NUMBER IT IS. IT'S LIKE NUMBER 200 OR SOMETHING. THAT'D BE TOUGH. THEY ONLY MADE 104 OF THEM. OKAY, FINE. IT'S NUMBER 101. [ LAUGHS ] AND IT'S A PANELCRAFT NASH HEALEY LIKE THIS ONE, CORRECT. YES. UNBELIEVABLE. DUDE, THERE'S ONLY LIKE 10 IN THE WORLD EVEN KNOWN AT THIS TIME OUT OF 104, AND ONLY A COUPLE OF THEM RUN! AND IT RUNS? YEAH. RUNS, DRIVES. SO, IF THIS ONE BRINGS $1 MILLION, WHAT'S MINE WORTH? PROBABLY ON THE LOW END. PROBABLY... $200,000, $250,000. [ LAUGHTER ] HOW DO YOU EVEN KNOW HOW TO ADD NUMBERS LIKE THAT, DUDE? WELL, I WANT IT. I GOT FIRST CRACK AT IT, DON'T I? YES, AND, BROTHER, YOU KNOW WHAT'S GONNA HAPPEN? YOU'RE GONNA BUY MY CAR FROM ME BECAUSE YOU'RE GONNA MAKE SO MUCH MONEY ON THIS ONE. I'M GONNA PUT "PRICE UPON REQUEST" AND HAVE YOU COME OVER AND TAKE A LOOK AT IT. [ LAUGHS ] [ LAUGHS ] WOW! I CANNOT BELIEVE YOU FOUND ONE. ALL RIGHT, SO, THIS IS GOING ON THE BLOCK TODAY? YEP. I THINK THIS CAR'S GONNA DO INCREDIBLY WELL. THAT MAKES ME DO INCREDIBLY WELL. THAT'S CORRECT. THAT'S INCREDIBLY THINGS I LIKE. THERE YOU GO. Auctioneer: LOT NUMBER 42 IS ADMITTEDLY ONE OF THE STARS OF THE AUCTION THIS WEEKEND. IT'S A 1950 NASH HEALEY ROADSTER -- NUT-AND-BOLT, TOP-TO-BOTTOM, INSIDE-AND-OUT RESTORATION. Rawlings: I'M REALLY INTERESTED TO SEE WHAT THIS CAR DOES 'CAUSE IF DENNIS' NASH HEALEY DOES WELL, I AM GONNA RIP HIS HEAD OFF WITH MINE. HE STUCK A $500,000 RESERVE ON IT. SO IT'S NOT GOING HOME WITH ANYONE FOR ANYTHING LESS. Auctioneer: THIS IS A VERY, VERY SPECIAL CAR, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN. CAN I GET $700,000 TO START IT? $700,000? SET IT IN WHERE YOU LIKE. $700,000? $500,000? I HAVE $250,000 FROM HIM, THIS GENTLEMAN HERE AT $250,000. IT'S TOO LOW. $300,000 NOW. AT $300,000. $300,000? HEY! $325,000? YOU GOT THAT MUCH IN IT, DON'T YOU? I GOT MORE THAN THAT IN IT. I HAVE $350,000 ON THE TELEPHONE. AT $375,000. I'LL TAKE $375,000. $375,000? $370,000. BID ME $380,000. $380,000. YOU GONNA LET IT RIP, 'TATER CHIP? NO. IT'S TOO IMPORTANT OF A CAR TO SELL FOR THAT CHEAP. I UNDERSTAND. FAIR WARNING. DOES ANYONE ELSE WANT TO BID AT $380,000? LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, FOR THE FIRST TIME? $370,000's BID. AT $380,000 FOR THE SECOND TIME. THEY'RE STILL UP. AT $380,000, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, FOR THE THIRD AND FINAL TIME. ANYONE ELSE? FAIR WARNING. [ BELL DINGS ] HMM. Rawlings: WELL, THAT'S KIND OF A BUMMER. I WAS HOPING IT WOULD SELL BIG. GOT TO THINK ABOUT WHAT TO DO WITH MY NASH NOW. I GUESS IT DEPENDS ON HOW THE GALAXIE TURNS OUT AND HOW MUCH I NEED THE MONEY. BUT RIGHT NOW, THE ONLY THING I NEED -- THAT'S RIGHT. I NEED A DRINK. Rawlings: ALL RIGHT, GUYS. HERE WE ARE. SEE IF WE CAN'T HAVE A LITTLE FUN. OH, DAMN, MAN! WHAT ARE Y'ALL TOASTING? COME HERE, BROTHER! WHAT ARE YOU TOASTING, BROTHER? Rawlings: GREAT. THIS COULD BE BAD NEWS. YOU MIGHT REMEMBER THAT ME AND THIS GUY -- TURN AROUND, J.D. WELL, WE GOT SOME HISTORY TOGETHER. YOU TELLING ME THAT YOU CAN SNORT A SHOT OF TEQUILA UP YOUR NOSE. I'M GONNA SNORT IT UP MY NOSE. GET IT. [ LAUGHS ] HOLY [BLEEP] YOU GOT IT IN YOU. I KNOW YOU DO, BROTHER. [ LAUGHS ] WHOA. HURTS ALL THE WAY IN YOUR EAR, MAN. I AIN'T SNORTING TEQUILA, MAN. I AIN'T DOING IT. I CAME HERE JUST TO KEEP YOU HONEST. CAN'T WE DO SOMETHING OTHER THAN TEQUILA OR WHAT? NAME YOUR POISON. Rawlings: [ SIGHS ] TWO VODKAS. ALL RIGHT, BROTHER. HERE YOU GO. READY? Man: DO IT! [ COUGHS ] WHOO! [ LAUGHS ] THAT [BLEEP] BURNING. MINE'S WAY UP IN HERE! MY [BLEEP] HEAD'S STILL BURNING LIKE YOU KNOW WHAT. I DON'T WANT TO [BLEEP] SEE YOU FOR ANOTHER YEAR. I'LL SEE YOU. THE PRODIGAL SON RETURNS. DUDE, REALLY? I HAD A GOOD TIME. YOU'RE GONNA HAVE A GOOD TIME HERE 'CAUSE YOU'RE NOT LEAVING YEAH, I'VE SEEN IT. LOOKS LIKE THERE'S STILL SOME WORK LEFT TO BE DONE. Rawlings: SO, IT LOOKS LIKE EVERYBODY WHO'S SUPPOSED TO BE IN THE SHOP IS ACTUALLY BACK IN THE SHOP, WHICH IS A GOOD THING. UNFORTUNATELY, IT LOOKS LIKE WHILE I WAS AT THE AUCTION AND AARON WAS OFF DOING WHO KNOWS WHAT, WE BOTH DROPPED THE BALL ON SOMETHING THAT REALLY NEEDED TO BE DONE DAYS AGO. SO, THAT MEANS RICHARD PLUS A HANGOVER PLUS SUE... IS NOT GONNA BE BUENO. HEY, SUE! WHAT'S UP? HOLD ON! COME ON. IT'S BEEN A BAD DAY. JUST GO AHEAD AND PULL THE TRIGGER. I DON'T CARE. WHAT YOU GOT? WHY ARE YOU ALWAYS WEARING THE DRAGON SHIRT? WHY NOT? I'M THE DRAGON LADY. CHECK IT OUT. THIS IS WHAT I GOT FOR YOU. YOU EXPECT ME TO CARRY THOSE SEAT?! I DON'T HAVE ANY HELP TODAY. AARON'S BUSY ON SOMETHING ELSE. OKAY, I CARRY THAT ONE. WHERE YOU GET THE CAR? WHERE YOU BUY THE CAR? ROSWELL, NEW MEXICO, WHERE THE ALIENS ARE. OH, MY GOD! I DIDN'T KNOW YOU DEAL WITH ALIENS. THAT IS SCARY. Martin: HE BRING THE SEAT. IT'S VERY BAD SHAPE. CRACK HERE, CRACK THERE. IS THERE ANY WAY YOU CAN FIX THESE SEAMS, OR IS THIS TOO BRITTLE? I DON'T THINK SO. THIS WAY TOO FAR. THIS ONE'S NO PROBLEM. AND THEN ON THE BACK, ALL I'VE GOT IS THIS ONE SPLIT AND THE WHOLE BACK SEAT IS FINE. I DON'T HAVE MUCH TIME, AND I DON'T HAVE MUCH MONEY. SO WHAT I WANT IS THE FASTEST, EASIEST, CHEAPEST FIX -- REPLACE THE FRONT SEATS, FIX THE REST. SO, ARE YOU GONNA DUPLICATE, EXACTLY, THE FRONT SEAT AND MATCH IT TO THIS, RIGHT? AND YOU'RE JUST GONNA FIX THE BACK? YEAH. ALL RIGHT. SO, HOW MUCH? THERE WE GO AGAIN -- HOW MUCH?! HOW MUCH?! HEY, THAT'S THE WAY I AM. EVERY TIME HE COME IN, LIKE, "HOW MUCH?! HOW MUCH?!" WELL, MONEY'S MONEY. HE WANT ME TO DO THE JOB, OF COURSE HE HAVE TO PAY FOR IT. HAVE TO PAY! YOU LOOK ABOUT 800 BUCK. THAT'S EASY. HOW FAST? YOU THINK YOU CAN HAVE THIS DONE IN, SAY, THREE DAYS? YEAH. THAT'S WHY YOU'RE SO AWESOME... ...DRAGON LADY. WATCH OUT! Narrator: COMING UP... IF YOU DON'T GET HERE IN SIX HOURS FLAT, YOU GIVE 'EM TO ME FOR FREE. ...RICHARD GOES DOUBLE OR NOTHING LOOK AT THIS! ...AND TRIES TO GET SIX FIGURES FOR A PIECE OF RACING HISTORY. WHAT DO YOU THINK THIS ONE'S WORTH? 75 GRAND. YOU ARE -- GET BACK IN YOUR CAR AND LEAVE. WELL, THIS LOOKS LIKE A CAR, FINALLY. YEAH. HEADERS WENT IN WITHOUT A HITCH, I SEE. YEAH. IN OUR QUEST TO BUILD A GREAT FORD MUSCLE CAR, WE PUT IN A POWERFUL COYOTE ENGINE. BUT, TO MAKE THE MOST OUT OF IT, WE NEED TO GET THAT POWER TO THE WHEELS. TRANNY'S HERE. YOU GOT IT? YEAH, I GOT IT. I GOT IT. Kaufman: SO, WE'RE GOING WITH A SULLIVAN RACING TRANSMISSION. IT'S A FORD C4 WITH A MANUAL VALVE BODY. LET'S GET IT IN SO I CAN START BUILDING SOME EXHAUST. [ GRUNTS ] MAN, THIS THING'S HEAVY. WE ARE SORELY OUT OF TIME ON THIS GALAXIE. I NEED TO GET THIS ENGINE FIRED UP BY THE END OF THE DAY. AS OF RIGHT NOW, WE'RE NOT EVEN SURE IF THIS CAR CAN WALK MUCH LESS RUN! [ LAUGHS ] BUT, SERIOUSLY, BEFORE WE DO THAT, JORDAN'S GOT TO GET THE EXHAUST IN. HOW'S THIS GOING? IT WAS GOING OKAY UNTIL... I DON'T KNOW HOW FAR YOU WANT THE MUFFLER BACK MAINLY BECAUSE IF I COME ONTO HERE TO GO HERE, I CAN'T TUCK TWO 3-INCH PIECES IN HERE. I'M AFRAID IT'S GONNA HIT THE DRIVE SHAFT. SO, IT'S GONNA HAVE TO GO UNDERNEATH THE FLOOR, AND IT'S GONNA HANG DOWN BELOW THE BODY. YOU'RE GONNA BE DOWN OVER AN INCH FOR THE -- THERE'S ONE LITTLE HICCUP. WITH THESE 3-INCH EXHAUST PIPES, THE FLOOR'S IN THE WAY OR THE PIPE'S IN THE WAY, AND WHEN I LOOK AT THE SIDE OF THE CAR, I DON'T WANT TO SEE THE PIPES. THAT LOOK CAN WORK FOR A PICKUP, BUT IT WOULD BE TOTALLY WRONG FOR THIS CAR. WHERE YOU PUT YOUR FEET, NOBODY CARES. I'M ACTUALLY GONNA MOVE THE FLOOR WHERE, YOU KNOW, THE REAR PASSENGERS PUT THEIR FEET. I'M GONNA MAKE A CLEARANCE LIKE A LITTLE BIT OF A TUNNEL SO THE EXHAUST GOES RIGHT THROUGH IT. NO EXHAUST, A LITTLE LESS FOOT SPACE, BUT, HEY, WHO'S CARRYING AROUND THAT MANY PASSENGERS? I DON'T THINK THAT'S A BIG DEAL. IT'S NOT TO ME, EITHER. SPOT-WELD, SEAM SEAL. ALL RIGHT. GET DUSTIN ON THAT RIGHT AWAY. I NEED TO GET THIS ENGINE FIRED UP, AND I'M READY TO HEAR THIS COYOTE RUN. THIS SUCKS. Rawlings: SO, THINGS ARE HUMMING ALONG AT GAS MONKEY. THE GALAXIE'S ALMOST DONE, BUT THERE'S ONE THING I HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO PUT MY HANDS ON -- SOME AMERICAN SHELBY RACING WHEELS. AND I DON'T KNOW WHY THEY'RE SO HARD TO FIND, BUT THEY SEEM PRETTY ELUSIVE. AT LEAST, THAT'S WHAT JOHN THE OFFICE GUY'S BEEN TELLING ME EVERY TIME I ASK HIM ABOUT IT. DID YOU FIND THOSE WHEELS YET, MAN? YEAH, I FOUND A SET -- UPSTATE NEW YORK. THEY'RE NOT GONNA BE HERE FOR...THREE, FOUR, FIVE DAYS, THOUGH. I DON'T HAVE THAT, MAN. DID YOU SEARCH THE DATABASE TO SEE IF ANYBODY ELSE HAS THEM? I THINK YOUR BUDDY RICKY OVER AT DIAMOND C MAY HAVE A SET. WHERE'S HIS NUMBER? RICKY CHANCEY -- HE OWNS A COMPANY DOWN IN HOUMA, LOUISIANA. HE'S GOOD FRIEND OF MINE. WE DO A LOT OF RALLIES AND STUFF LIKE THAT, AND IT JUST SO HAPPENS THAT HE'S THE ONLY GUY CLOSE ENOUGH TO GET ME THESE WHEELS AND GET THEM TO ME IN A TIMELY MANNER. HEY, MAN. IT'S RICHARD. Triple "R" -- What's kickin', chicken? DUDE, JOHN TOLD ME HE TALKED TO YOU, AND YOU GOT THESE AMERICAN RACING WHEELS AND THESE TIRES THAT I NEED FOR MY '67 GALAXIE. They're sitting on a shelf, brother. I could ship them out. They'll be there tomorrow morning. WHAT DOES HE TELL ME? HE WANTS TO OVERNIGHT THEM TO ME AND BRING THEM TO ME TOMORROW. IT'S 9:00 IN THE MORNING. IT'S 500 MILES. TOMORROW MORNING AIN'T GOOD ENOUGH. I NEED THEM NOW. I'M ON A CRUNCH TIME. CHANCEY: So, what do you want me to do? DUDE, GET IN YOUR TRUCK, BRING ME MY WHEELS. 505 MILES, DUDE. YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO DO THAT IN SIX HOURS. THAT MEANS YOU'RE HERE AT 3:00, DROP THE WHEELS, WE GO DRINK SOME BEER. CHANCEY: Well, I ain't saying I can't do it. I'M SAYING YOU CAN'T DO IT. Are you telling me I can't do it? OH, I'M CHALLENGING YOU NOW. HE'S BEING A SISSY AT FIRST. SO I MADE HIM THE BET. WELL, WHAT'S THE TOTAL ON THIS? WHAT'S THE TOTAL, $1,800 AND SOMETHING? 1,816 BUCKS, DUDE. YOU GET HERE IN SIX HOURS FLAT OR LESS, AND I'LL GIVE YOU DOUBLE. IF YOU DON'T, YOU GIVE THEM TO ME FOR FREE. Oh, dude! It's on. And I'm gonna see you in... five hours and 55 minutes. YOU BETTER GET IN YOUR TRUCK. BYE. WASN'T MUCH CONVERSATION AFTER THAT 'CAUSE I HUNG UP AND STARTED THE CLOCK. NOPE. [ DING! ] CHANCEY: Hello? DUDE, I'M GETTING FREE WHEELS! I'm around the corner! IT DON'T MATTER, AROUND THE CORNER -- WHEELS FREE. SIX HOURS, MAN, AND YOU ARE MISSING IT. YOU ARE LATE. YOU ARE CRAZY. I'M DRIVING IN RIGHT NOW. YOU'RE CRAZY. DUDE, YOU'RE CRAZY. YOU'RE LATE, SEE? HA HA! I GOT SOME FREE WHEELS, MAN! DUDE, YOU ARE FULL OF [BLEEP] WE GOT SOME FREE WHEELS! DUDE, I NEED A TIME KEEPER. THIS IS [BLEEP] DUDE, YOU'RE LATE. TOOK HIM 6 HOURS, 5 MINUTES, AND 15 SECONDS, AND YOU KNOW WHAT THAT IS? 5 MINUTES AND 15 SECONDS OF GET $0 FOR THOSE WHEELS AND TIRES. WELL, AT LEAST THEY'RE THE RIGHT WHEEL. DUDE, YOU ARE TRICKY ***. YOU ARE FULL OF CRAP. DUDE, I AIN'T TRICKY! THE CLOCK DON'T LIE! YOU MISSED IT, BUDDY. YOU'RE OUT. DIAMOND C AUDIO, ZERO; GAS MONKEY GARAGE, 1. FREE WHEELS FOR ME! OH! PUT THOSE THINGS ON. YEAH! SEE, THAT'S WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT. I KNEW THE WHEELS WERE THE RIGHT WHEELS FOR IT. THAT'S WHAT ME AND AARON SPEC'D OUT. AND WHEN WE PUT THEM ON, THEY WERE PERFECT. I FELT BAD ABOUT GETTING THE WHEELS FOR FREE BUT NOT THAT BAD. LOOK AT THAT. YOU KNOW WHAT HE'S DOING RIGHT THERE? THAT'S A CELEBRATION DANCE. HE JUST WASTED 5 MINUTES AND 15 SECONDS. [ LAUGHS ] SOMETIMES I MAKE A LITTLE, STUPID GAMBLE AND I LOSE. THIS TIME IT WORKED FOR ME. HE'S GOT TO LICK HIS WOUNDS A LITTLE BIT, BUT AT THE END OF THE DAY, I KNOW HOW MUCH FUN IT IS TO DRIVE FAST ACROSS THIS COUNTRY AND I KNOW HE HAD A GOOD TIME DOING IT. YEAH, THEY'RE SWEET. THEY'RE EXACTLY WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR. I APPRECIATE IT. I OWE YOU A BEER. YOU LOST A BET. I GET TO DO MY DANCE. MAN, MAN, MAN. LET'S GET YOU ONE. THEM GUYS WILL GET THE CAR ON THE GROUND, AND WE'LL BE GOOD TO GO. SO, I'VE HAD THIS NASH HEALEY SITTING AROUND MY SHOP FOR A COUPLE OF WEEKS NOW. I WAS HOPING TO SELL IT BIG AS SOON AS DENNIS SOLD HIS NASH HEALEY NUMBER 1 FOR A MILLION BUCKS. BUT SINCE IT TANKED AT AUCTION, HE TELLS ME HE'S NOT EVEN GONNA SELL IT FOR A WHILE. HE'S GONNA KEEP IT. THAT JUST SUCKS. I'M NOT A COLLECTOR. I'M A SELLER. I GOT TO GET RID OF THIS THING. SO, TODAY, I ASKED DENNIS TO COME OVER AND TAKE A LOOK AT MY NASH. HE LIKES TO CORNER THE MARKET ON THIS KIND OF CRAP, AND HE'S ALREADY GOT NUMBER 1. SO STICK THIS ONE IN THE PILE. ALL WE GOT TO DO IS COME UP WITH A FAIR PRICE. I MEAN, AFTER ALL, WE'RE BUDS, RIGHT? HA HA! WHAT'S UP, "D"? CARS ARE VERY UNDERAPPRECIATED AND UNDERVALUED SIMPLY BECAUSE MOST PEOPLE DON'T EVEN KNOW THEY EXIST. Rawlings: DENNIS' CAR IS NUMERO UNO -- THE FIRST ONE. IT'S CAR NUMBER 79. BUT THERE'S ONLY 104 LIKE THIS ONE AND FEWER THAN 10 RUNNING AND DRIVING. [ ENGINE TURNS OVER ] WOW. PURRING LIKE A KITTEN. LET'S GO FOR A RIDE. ALL RIGHT. LET'S GO FOR A RIDE. Collins: THIS IS A VERY UNIQUE, ONE-OFF, SPECIAL-ORDER NASH HEALEY. IT'S A WEIRD RIDING POSITION, COMPARED TO TODAY'S CARS. IT'S HOW THE SPORTS CARS WERE. YOU WERE TIGHT. I MEAN, THESE THINGS WERE BUILT TO BE RACED. WHAT'S REALLY RARE ABOUT THIS CAR IS IT'S RED. NASH HEALEYS ONLY CAME IN SUNSET MAROON OR CHAMPAGNE UNLESS THEY WERE SPECIAL-ORDERED AND THE ORDER WAS OKAYED BY DONALD HEALEY. WERE THEY WINNING ANY RACES, BACK IN THE DAY? OH, YEAH. THE NASH HEALEY STOMPED ALMOST EVERY MAJOR MANUFACTURER IN '50 AND '51 AT LE MANS -- BEAT FERRARI, BEAT MERCEDES. NOW ALL I GOT TO DO IS BEAT YOUR WALLET FOR IT. OW! Rawlings: I KNOW DENNIS. HE KNOWS HE'S GOT TO BUY THIS CAR. I KNOW HE'S GONNA BUY THIS CAR. IT'S JUST A MATTER OF FINDING OUT HOW MUCH MONEY I CAN GET OUT OF HIS WALLET... OR THAT STUPID LITTLE BRIEFCASE HE CARRIES. WELL, YOU'RE TRYING TO GET ALL THE MONEY YOU CAN. I UNDERSTAND. THAT'S WHAT EVERYBODY DOES. I'M TRYING TO GET THE BEST DEAL JUST SO I CAN STILL ADVANCE IT. I'M TRYING TO GET ALL THE MONEY I CAN? YOU'RE TRYING TO GET $1 MILLION OUT OF ONE. NOW, DENNIS TURNED DOWN 370 GRAND FOR HIS, AND I KNOW THIS ONE SHOULD BE WORTH AT LEAST $120,000. WHAT DO YOU THINK THIS ONE'S WORTH? PROBABLY 75 GRAND. YOU ARE -- GET BACK IN YOUR CAR AND LEAVE. [ LAUGHS ] Narrator: COMING UP, CAN RICHARD AND DENNIS AGREE ON A NUMBER? I'M NOT PAYING $100,000. AND LATER, CHRISTIE GETS A WAKE-UP CALL ABOUT THE CRANK CALLS. Brimberry: OH, GOD. I'M IN SO MUCH TROUBLE. THE ANSWER WHEN WE COME BACK. Narrator: FORDLANDIA WAS IN OPERATION FROM 1928 TO 1945. Rawlings: WELL, I'VE DECIDED TO SELL MY NASH HEALEY TO MY GOOD BUDDY DENNIS. NOW, I BOUGHT IT FOR ONLY $42,500, AND I THINK I SHOULD BE ABLE TO GET AT LEAST 120 GRAND OUT OF HIS ***. WHAT DO YOU THINK THIS ONE'S WORTH? PROBABLY 75 GRAND. YOU ARE -- GET BACK IN YOUR CAR AND LEAVE. [ LAUGHS ] HE HITS ME AT 75 GRAND. WHAT, DOES HE THINK I'M STUPID? I MEAN, HE JUST TURNED DOWN $370,000 FOR HIS. HOW ABOUT 80 GRAND? THERE'S NO WAY, MAN. THE BEST THIS CAR IS GONNA DO IS MAYBE A THIRD OF WHAT NUMBER 1 BRINGS. GIVE ME A BUCK-20, EVERYBODY'S HAPPY. I'M NOT EVEN GONNA PAY YOU $100,000. THERE'S NO WAY YOU'RE TAKING THIS CAR FOR LESS THAN $100,000 -- ABSOLUTELY NOT. I'M NOT PAYING $100,000. 100 GRAND. NO LESS, PERIOD. I CAN TELL WHEN YOU'RE ABOUT TO GIVE UP 'CAUSE YOUR FOREHEAD'S TURNING RED. DUDE, I'M GOING INSIDE. ALL RIGHT, HERE'S MY LAST OFFER. I'M NOT MAKING ANOTHER ONE. $99,100. [ LAUGHS ] I'M NOT PAYING YOU $100,000. I WANT 100 GRAND, PERIOD. GIVE ME 100 GRAND, YOU OWN THE CAR. HE HITS ME AT $99,100. HE'S GONNA *** ME FOR $900? I MEAN, I'M STARTING TO THINK DENNIS AND I AREN'T FRIENDS ANYMORE. $99,100. INSTEAD OF TRYING TO KNOCK HIS FEET OUT FROM UNDER HIM LIKE I WOULD ON ANYBODY ELSE, I FIGURE I'D LET HIM MAKE A LITTLE, ME MAKE A LOT -- EVERYBODY'S HAPPY. WE'D STILL BE FRIENDS. DEAL. AND, BY THE WAY, NASH HEALEY NUMBER 1 DID SELL THE DAY AFTER THE AUCTION. $500,000. GAH! I JUST SCREWED MYSELF, DIDN'T I? YOU READY FOR THIS? I ONLY PAID $40,000 FOR THAT [BLEEP] YOU OWN IT. WRITE MY CHECK. I'M HAPPY TO OWN IT. $99,100, I OWN IT. I PAID $40,000 FOR IT, I BASICALLY GOT 100 GRAND. THAT'S A PRETTY GOOD PAYDAY FOR GAS MONKEY. GET MY CHECK, DENNIS! I'M GOING TO WHATABURGER! SO, I GOT A POCKET FULL OF MONEY, BUILDING'S PAID, GUYS ARE PAID -- HOLY COW! THIS WIND'S MESSING MY HAIR -- GET ME INSIDE. Kaufman: SO, IT TOOK US A LITTLE LONGER THAN EXPECTED, BUT WE'RE FINALLY READY TO FLEX THE MUSCLE IN THIS MUSCLE CAR. SO, IT'S TIME TO FIRE IT UP. THIS IS WHERE WE FIND OUT IF IT'S GONNA LEAK, IF IT'S GONNA PUKE, IF IT'S GONNA BE ABLE TO MAINTAIN AN IDLE. I WAS A LITTLE NERVOUS ABOUT THE MOTOR FIRING UP. SO I PUT MY SAFETY BLANKET ON -- MY FIRE HAT. WELL, TURN IT ON. SOMEBODY TURN IT ON. [ ENGINE TURNS OVER ] WELL, IT SURE DOES SOUND GOOD. IT'S NOWHERE NEAR AS LOUD AS I THOUGHT IT WAS GONNA BE. FIRED IT UP, AND, EXACTLY AS WE EXPECTED, IT RUNS. SHOULDN'T BE A SHOCKER -- IT'S A CRATE MOTOR. IT'S GOT THE RIGHT HARNESS FOR IT. WE'VE DONE OUR HOMEWORK. AND YOU KNOW WHAT? WE'VE DONE THIS A TIME OR TWO. SO, I DIDN'T EXPECT ANYTHING ELSE. [ ENGINE REVVING ] COOL. I WAS HAPPY TO HEAR NO WEIRD NOISES, NOTHING CAUGHT FIRE, THAT NOTHING EXPLODED. IT JUST DID EXACTLY WHAT IT WAS SUPPOSED TO DO. WELL, I'D HOPE SO. IT'S LIKE EVERYONE'S AMAZED. LAST TIME I CHECKED, YOU PULL A CRATE MOTOR FOR $7,000, $8,000 OUT OF A BOX, IT OUGHT TO SOUND GOOD. THANK GOD IT'S NOT BROKEN! RIGHT? WE RUN INTO THAT ENOUGH. Kaufman: THAT'S A GOOD POINT TO END THE DAY ON. I'M HOPEFUL THAT TOMORROW WE CAN ACTUALLY GET THIS THING OUT OF THE SHOP AND ON THE ROAD. [ ENGINE TURNS OVER ] [ TIRES SQUEALING ] [ ENGINE REVVING ] Rawlings: YOU'VE HEARD FROM A GALAXY FAR, FAR AWAY? WELL, THIS IS A GALAXIE FROM FAR AWAY -- A 1967 GALAXIE WE FOUND IN ROSWELL, NEW MEXICO. Kaufman: I'M A BIG FAN OF FULL-SIZED FORDS AND ESPECIALLY GALAXIES. I'VE NEVER BUILT A '67, SO I THOUGHT THIS WAS A GREAT OPPORTUNITY. THIS IS A VERY COOL-LOOKING CAR. WHEN WE GOT TO ROSWELL... ... WE FOUND THE CAR. IT HAD A LITTLE HAIL DAMAGE ON IT. OR...MAYBE A LOT OF HAIL DAMAGE ON IT. KEENAN USED A LITTLE TRICK HE LEARNED ALONG THE WAY WITH A TORCH TO GET RID OF MOST OF THE HAIL DAMAGE. WHEN WE GOT BACK TO THE SHOP, AARON SAID, "GO FIND ME SOMETHING FASTER." WHAT DID HE SHOW UP WITH? A BRAND-NEW CRATE ENGINE FROM FORD -- 5 LITER, DUAL-OVERHEAD CAM MOTOR. IT'S REALLY, REALLY BIG, BUT IT FITS. IT LOOKS AT HOME. EVERYTHING'S WORKING. WE FOUND THE RIGHT WHEELS AND TIRES FOR IT. THE PROBLEM WAS THEY WERE AT DIAMOND C AUDIO DOWN IN LOUISIANA. NOW, THAT JUST HAPPENS TO BE A RALLY BUDDY OF MINE, RICKY CHANCEY. I BET HIM DOUBLE OR NOTHING ON THE WHEELS. 505 MILES TO COVER, 6 HOURS TO DO IT. YOU KNOW WHAT? HE WAS 5 MINUTES AND 15 SECONDS LATE. FREE WHEELS FOR US. THANKS, RICKY. THE CAR WAS RED AND WHITE WHEN WE GOT IT. AND YOU KNOW WHAT? WE DECIDED TO KEEP IT THAT WAY. IT HAD A COOL LOOK. IT HAD A COOL STYLE ALREADY. WE WENT WITH THE STOCK COLORS AGAIN. WE DIDN'T WANT TO DO AN ALL-OVER COLOR CHANGE, AND WE THOUGHT THAT IT FIT THE CAR SO WELL. WE DELETED ALL THE SIDE TRIM ON THE CAR. HONESTLY, NOW THAT WE'RE DONE, I THINK IT LOOKS BETTER. WE WERE ABLE TO HAVE SUE SAVE THE BACK SEAT, BUT WE HAD TO RECOVER THE FRONT SEAT. OTHER THAN THAT, IT'S PRETTY MUCH THE STOCK INTERIOR. ALL THAT SAID AND DONE, WE GOT OURSELVES A BADASS WEEKEND CRUISER. WE'RE IN THIS CAR SOMEWHERE RIGHT AT 20 GRAND. IT'S GONNA SELL IN THE MID 20s REAL EASY, AND THAT MAKES US PROFIT. SO ALL I GOT TO DO NOW IS GO FIND THAT GUY WITH THE MID-20s IN HIS POCKET. [ ENGINE REVS ] Narrator: COMING UP, HAS RICHARD FOUND A BUYER FOR THE GALAXIE? HE...WANTS TO BUY A NEW CAR. I WANTED TO BUY A NEW PAIR OF PANTS. Narrator: AND THE GAS MONKEYS GET TO THE BOTTOM OF A MYSTERY. WHOA! HA HA! GLAD WE FINALLY GOT TOGETHER, MAN. WHAT?! I'LL SNORT ONE. SET ME UP. YOU WANT ME TO TELL YOU WHAT THE TRICK IS? THERE AIN'T ONE. IT [BLEEP] HURTS, DUDE. DON'T DO IT. GO, TOM! NO! NO! [ LAUGHTER ] HOLY COW! HOOOOOAARHAAAAROOOH! TOM NEVER CEASES TO AMAZE ME. [ TELEPHONE RINGING ] I'm not answering this. [ TELEPHONE BEEPS ] GAS MONKEY GARAGE. THIS IS CHRISTIE. Hey! Good morning. I'm Dale Earnhardt Jr. OH, MY GOSH. YOU HAVE CALLED ME FOUR TIMES. OKAY, YOU KNOW WHAT? WHAT IS YOUR PHONE NUMBER, "DALE"? OKAY, I'LL PASS THE MESSAGE, BUT GET A LIFE. [ TELEPHONE BEEPS ] Rawlings: SOMETIMES THINGS JUST GO GOOD HERE AT GAS MONKEY GARAGE. WE GOT US A GOOD-RUNNING, BADASS LITTLE GALAXIE. I TELL TONY, "GET IT OUT ON THE NET." SURE ENOUGH, SOMEBODY WALKS UP 'CAUSE THEY SEE IT FROM THE ROAD. HEY, HOW ARE Y'ALL DOING TODAY? HOW'S IT GOING? I'M MIKE, AND THIS IS DANIELLE. WE'RE FROM MINERAL WELLS, TEXAS. IT'S AWESOME. WE'RE IN THE MARKET FOR A HOT ROD. COME BY GAS MONKEY AND SEE IF WE CAN PICK SOMETHING UP. Rawlings: WELL, I HAD TONY JUST GETTING READY TO LIST THIS. Rawlings: HE'S GOT HIS WIFE THERE. YOU KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS? I'VE GOT DECISION-MAKER 1 AND DECISION-MAKER 2, AND WE ALL KNOW WHO DECISION-MAKER 1 IS. Mike: SO, WHAT'S IT GOT? BASICALLY, AARON SENT ME DOWN TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP AND SAID, "FIND ME SOMETHING FAST." SO THAT'S WHAT I DID. HA HA! Danielle: OH, MY GOD. THAT'S THE NEW 2013 5.0 FORD MOTOR. [ ENGINE TURNS OVER ] [ ENGINE REVS ] THIS ONE WILL GET YOUR ATTENTION. WHY DON'T Y'ALL GET IN? LET'S GO AROUND THE BLOCK, SEE WHAT YOU THINK. [ ENGINE REVVING ] HA HA! THAT'S A SWEET RIDE. IT SOUNDS GOOD AT -- WHY YOU HOLDING ONTO THE DASH FOR, MAN? YOU WORRIED? THEY'RE HAVING A GOOD TIME, THEY'RE ENJOYING IT. THEY KEEP LOOKING BACK, CHECKING OUT THE BACK SEAT. I DON'T KNOW WHAT THEY'RE THINKING, BUT MY JOB IS TO SELL THEM THE CAR. I WANTED TO BUY A NEW PAIR OF PANTS. HE...WANTS TO BUY A NEW CAR. WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT THAT? COOL. MAMA EVEN GIVE YOU PERMISSION TO BUY A HOT ROD TODAY? AS LONG AS WE DON'T HAVE TO FINANCE A HOUSE. WELL, THERE YOU GO. WE STARTED OUT TALKING ABOUT THE PRICE... WHAT DO YOU THINK A CAR LIKE THIS IS WORTH? $18,000? [ Chuckling ] NO, MAN! ARE YOU KIDDING ME? ...HE'S THINKING, LIKE, IN THE TEENS. YOU KNOW, LIKE 18 GRAND. I'M THINKING $30,000. NO, I'M UP CLOSER -- I'D SAY 30 GRAND. I MEAN, JUST WITH TIME AND LABOR AND WHAT HAVE YOU. THERE IS NO WAY. WE KNOW WHO NUMBER 1 IS, RIGHT? SHE'S MAKING THE DECISIONS. WELL, I MEAN, I'D WORK WITH YOU A LITTLE BIT. WE BUILT THIS CAR PRETTY QUICK. $27,500? I THREW HIM BACK THE NUMBER $27,500, AND I COULD TELL HE LOOKED AT THE WIFE, YOU KNOW? GOING BACK TO NUMBER 1 AND NUMBER 2. I'D STILL FEEL COMFORTABLE AT $20,000. NO, I CAN'T DO THAT. [BLEEP] [ SNAPS FINGERS ] WE CAN CALL IT $25,000. THAT'S WHAT I'M LOOKING FOR, BUT -- WE GET DOWN TO THE FINITE POINT. FINAL OFFER. I HIT HIM AT $23,500. I'LL COME DOWN $23,500, CALL IT DONE, AND YOU GET IT LIKE YOU SEE IT. HE TURNS TO HER, AND WHAT DOES NUMBER 1 SAY? WE CAN MAKE IT HAPPEN. LET'S MAKE IT HAPPEN. COOL, $23,500. AWESOME. YOU GUYS GOT A COOL CAR. BOOM! GAS MONKEY GETS PAID. WE'RE DONE. LET'S GET INSIDE AND DO A LITTLE PAPERWORK. Mike: WE'RE GONNA HAVE FUN WITH THIS CAR. THE KIDS AND I CAN PLAY AND HOT ROD AROUND IN, AND ME AND MY WIFE CAN GO OUT AND HAVE A DATE NIGHT. [ CHUCKLES ] SOUNDS GOOD! Narrator: RICHARD AND AARON BEGAN THEIR SPACE ODYSSEY BUYING BUYING A GALAXIE 500 IN ROSWELL, NEW MEXICO, FOR 5 GRAND. TO GET THE GALAXIE TO FIRE UP... WHOA! WHY'D IT GET BIGGER? ...RICHARD SPENT ANOTHER $8,000 ON A BRAND-NEW FORD COYOTE ENGINE. BUT AS THE GALAXIE BILLS KEPT PILING, RICHARD WAS OUT FOR BLOOD. YOU HEAR THAT? YOU COULD ALL BE FIRED! Narrator: HOPING HIS STARS WERE ALIGNING, RICHARD HEADED TO HOLLYWOOD, WHERE HE PICKED UP TWO MORE CLASSIC CARS -- A '51 NASH HEALEY AND A '32 PLYMOUTH. HE SPENT A FEW BUCKS SPIFFING THEM UP... AND THEN REALIZED HE HAD A TRIFECTA IN HIS RARE EVEL KNIEVEL MESSERSCHMITT. [ LAUGHING ] AND SO RICHARD DECIDED TO SELL ALL THREE. [ CASH REGISTER DINGS ] HE EVEN MANAGED TO GIVE A LITTLE TO CHARITY. BURNING WITH CASH BACK AT GMG, RICHARD WAS FIRED UP TO FINISH THE GALAXIE, GETTING SOME WHEELS FOR FREE... FREE WHEELS FOR ME! OH! Narrator: ...AND THEN SELLING IT TO A COUPLE STILL IN MATRIMONIAL REVELRY... ME AND MY WIFE CAN GO OUT AND HAVE A DATE NIGHT. [ CASH REGISTER DINGS ] ...ENDING A TWO-WEEK GALAXIE RIDE WITH A GRAND TOTAL THAT WAS OUT OF THIS WORLD. [ CASH REGISTER DINGS ] Rawlings: OKAY. SO, USUALLY, OUR SHOW'S OVER RIGHT ABOUT NOW, BUT DON'T PICK UP THAT REMOTE BECAUSE WE STILL GOT SOME UNFINISHED BUSINESS. [ TELEPHONE RINGING ] THE PHONE'S BEEN RINGING A LOT WITH A GUY CLAIMING THAT HE'S DALE EARNHARDT JR. [ TELEPHONE BEEPS ] WE GET A LOT OF KOOKS NOWADAYS, YOU KNOW, CALLING US UP SINCE WE'VE BEEN ON THE OLD TELEVISION. SO I JUST TOLD CHRISTIE TO JUST IGNORE THAT [BLEEP] SO, I'M IGNORING THE CALLS, AND A PALLET, LITERALLY, OF DIET MOUNTAIN DEW SHOWS UP. WHAT IS THIS? I WAS NOT EXPECTING ANY DELIVERIES TODAY. HOW ARE YOU? WHERE ARE YOU GOING WITH THIS STUFF? GOT A DELIVERY, COMPLIMENTS OF DALE EARNHARDT JR. HE SAID GIVE HIM A CALL WHEN YOU GET A CHANCE. DALE JR. OH, NO. OH, GOD. I'M IN SO MUCH TROUBLE. Rawlings: I CAN USUALLY TRUST CHRISTIE'S INSTINCTS ON THESE KIND OF THINGS, BUT MAYBE I SCREWED UP ON THIS ONE. SO, WE'RE FIXING TO CALL DALE EARNHARDT JR. LET'S SEE WHAT HE'S GOT TO SAY. WHOA! HA HA! I'VE NEVER DONE THIS SKYPE THING BEFORE. THIS IS PRETTY CRAZY. HOW YOU DOING, DALE? CAN I CALL YOU DALE? OR SHOULD I CALL YOU MR. NASCAR? JUST CALL ME JUNIOR. ALL RIGHT. GOT IT. I GOT TO APOLOGIZE, FIRST OF ALL. YOU CALLED, LIKE, THREE OR FOUR TIMES, I THINK. I JUST THOUGHT IT WAS SOME NUT JOB OUT THERE CALLING, SAYING THEY WERE DALE EARNHARDT JR., WANTING TO TALK TO US. IT'S VERY UNPOLITE. I'M GLAD WE FINALLY GOT TOGETHER, MAN. SO, I'M TRYING TO FIGURE OUT -- ARE YOU BUTTERING US UP FOR SOMETHING, OR WHAT'S THE DEAL? WELL, I'VE BEEN A BIG FAN OF YOU GUYS FOR A LONG TIME. AND ME AND DIET MOUNTAIN DEW HAVE DESIGNED A LOT OF DIFFERENT PAINT-OUTS FOR ALL THE RACE CARS THAT I'VE DROVE. AND WE DECIDED TO GET TOGETHER AND ACTUALLY DO A STREET CAR. AND WE WERE CURIOUS IF YOU GUYS WOULD BE INTERESTED IN BUILDING A CAR. LET'S THINK ABOUT THIS. WOW! SO, HOW COOL IS THAT? DALE EARNHARDT JR. WANTS GAS MONKEY GARAGE TO BUILD HIM A CAR. YOU KNOW THIS CAR, IF WE BUILD FOR YOU, IT'S GONNA GO LEFT AND RIGHT. RIGHT, YEAH. I FIGURED IT WOULD PROBABLY HANDLE BETTER GOING TO THE LEFT, [ LAUGHTER ] LATER, SIR. I THINK I JUST GOT WET WILLIED. [ GROANING ] [ FARTS ] OH, MY GOD. AND THEN I JUST GOT FARTED ON. ANYTIME SOMEONE RELIEVES THEIR BOWELS IN YOUR GENERAL VICINITY, YOU HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO BE SAD.
