CLASSIC Ford Picks! | American Pickers | History

MIKE WOLFE: See anything good?
FRANK FRITZ: I don’t know.
Looks like too many satellite dishes right now.
We are rolling large, man.
Frankie and I are freestyling and we’re looking for a place to rock up on.
FRANK FRITZ: I think we just keep on this road here.
Oh, that looks like a good sign.
“Pavement ends.” Ready?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Gravel.
What we live for, gravel roads.
MIKE WOLFE: Those roadside relics.
Off the beaten path.
MIKE WOLFE: Look at this.
Dirt bike.
FRANK FRITZ: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
MIKE WOLFE: Oh, yeah.
FRANK FRITZ: I think it said for sale sign on it.
MIKE WOLFE: If there’s something for sale on the side of the road and the place looks good, me and Frankie are going to roll up on it.
Hey, how’s it going?
Hey, good.
MIKE WOLFE: See your “4 Sale” sign.
NORM: Yeah?
I just put it out.
You did?
You did?
What is this?
I think it’s a ’67.
When we’re out freestyling, you just never know what kind of situation you’re going to come in contact with.
But from the moment we stepped on Norm’s property, he made us feel right at home.
We buy anything old, you know?
We’re looking for advertising pieces.
We buy motorcycles.
We really like American stuff.
I don’t know if you’ve got parts around.
I’ve got my old Ford tractor in there.
We don’t do much with tractors.
I got an old car here.
OK.
Whoa.
FRANK FRITZ: Oh, yeah, here we go.
MIKE WOLFE: Man.
FRANK FRITZ: Norm, forget the motorcycle.
Forget the motorcycle.
MIKE WOLFE: Dang.
Norm, you’re holding out.
FRANK FRITZ: You were holding out.
This is a real beauty.
I’m talking muscle car here.
Ford Fairlane, 1967, 390 GT, smoking hot.
FRANK FRITZ: Wow, and we’re pumped.
Any time you can buy anything from a mechanic,
you know this guy’s treated it like his little baby.
’67?
NORM: ’67.
I bought this back in ’73.
It’s a 390 high-performance GT, 4-speed car.
Is this original paint?
This is original paint.
FRANK FRITZ: Original mags.
NORM: Look at this.
FRANK FRITZ: What do we got?
MIKE WOLFE: Oh, the 8-track player.
Oh yeah, man.
FRANK FRITZ: Yeah.
MIKE WOLFE: Oh, yeah.
Is the motor completely original?
NORM: The motor is complete original, except the heads– OK.
–are 428s.
I put them on there brand new.
FRANK FRITZ: With the enlarged heads, it’s got a little bit more oomph than the 335, huh?
It’s probably got another 25 horse.
FRANK FRITZ: Ooh, that’s a lot.
25’s a lot.
When he said the motor was original in that car, I got really excited.
But then, he said he added horsepower to it.
I was like, whoa, Frankie, I got Fairlane fever.
Get me an ice pack.
What are you thinking on this thing?
I’m thinking about $8,000.
Would you do seven grand on it?
Seven grand for the car and the bike?
No.
No way on that?
I’d go 75 for the car and the bike.
In situations like this, I’ve got to remain level-headed.
I’m having an emotional affair with this car right now, but I cannot let that get in the way of me making a good business decision.
No, I don’t want to 75 for the car the bike.
All right, let’s forget about the bike, because the bike I think we’re just too far apart on.
I would do $7,000 just on the car.
I’m practically drooling at this point, but I’ve got to hold myself back and stand my ground.
You know, if you want to sell it for that, I would do that.
Yeah, let’s do it.
MIKE WOLFE: Wanna do it? All right, my man.
FRANK FRITZ: All right. – All right.
Hand me those keys.
There you go.
Hand me those keys.
Hand me those keys, Norm.
All right.
We were in the heat of the moment there for a little bit.
Norm had his poker face on, but I think at the end of the day, we both got a good deal.
You better check my temperature.
I really do have Fairlane fever now.
FRANK FRITZ: Wow, you are on it. – All right, buddy.
FRANK FRITZ: Congratulations.
You’ll make my savings account happy, too.
FRANK FRITZ: There you go.
That oughta give you a little boost.
All right, man.
FRANK FRITZ: Oh, we better start making some phone calls now, get this thing outta here.
All right, I’m gonna shut this baby down.
From what I paid for that Fairlane, I’ve made a good amount of money.

I’m very pleased.
Good to see you, Norm.
Bye, Norm.
All right, man.
[laughing]
Man.
We stopped for a motorcycle.
Today is a good day.

FRANK FRITZ: And you bought– and you bought a Ford Fairlane.

[music playing]

DANIELLE (VOICEOVER): We’re on our way to see this guy, Gary, who has this super rare super massive car collection.

I think that was it.
So I think this is it right here.

• I think that’s it, yeah.

• Yeah, right here.

That looks like the picture of the barn.

• OK.

• That’s it.

That’s it.

[horn honks]

Hello.
Are you Gary?

• Yes.

• How you doing?
  Rob Wolfe.
  BOTH: Nice to meet you.

• Danielle.

• Nice to meet you.

• Nice to meet you.

I’m going to give you this.
This is just kind of a list of– I got a general idea of what you’re looking for.

You actually have a pretty extensive car collection.
Couple of dozen that–
A couple of dozen?
Yeah.
–that my father started collecting in 1948.
He bought his first car.

So this collection is your dad’s collection then?
Yes.

Why are you looking to let it go?
Because it’s always been in the back of my mind to start a college fund for my four grandchildren.

• Oh.

• So.
  Yeah.

Well, let’s see if we can do it, I guess, huh?
Let’s take a look at what you got.
Come on in.

ROBBIE: A collection is like any other investment. When it comes time to increase your cash flow, sell a little bit and enjoy your life.

There are a few cars in here.
Wow, it looks like you guys were into the early cars.

Yeah, my father, he started collecting in ’48.

When was he born, Gary?
1918.
1918.
So he pretty much seen it all.
Yeah.

GARY: He was a real estate broker in the late ’40s, early ’50s, so he would get into a lot of barns where you’d find cars.
At one point, he had about 50.

You got a Studebaker here.
Yeah, that’s a ’16 Studebaker.
Came from Nova Scotia.
My father paid $100 for it.
And this– remember, this is the early ’50s.
And then– Beautiful Buick.
That’s a ’27 Buick.

Do you do any restoration work?
No, I’m not– I’m not a mechanic.
Not a mechanic.

GARY: Just because I grew up with the cars, I was just kind of naturally drawn to them, and I’ve always enjoyed the history of them.

Hey, Gary, I noticed that when we walked in, there was like a ’38, ’39 Ford?
Yeah, ’39.

It’s a Kansas truck, so it’s pretty rust-free.
It’s got some surface rust, but it’s generally in pretty good shape.

Does it have the V8 in it?
Yep.

Is this something that you might sell?
I’d hate to sell it.
It’s the only pickup I’ve got, and–

I love these hoods.

ROBBIE: When you’re talking iconic body styles, the ’38 and the ’39 Ford trucks are something that stand out.
’38 was the year that Ford added hydraulic brakes, more cargo space, and that iconic oval grille.
With only two years in production, you just don’t find these anymore.

[music playing]

When’s the last time this thing ran, Gary?
My brother drove it onto the trailer 15 years ago probably.
Wow.
But I don’t think it would take much to get it running.

But you want to hold onto this?
Yeah.
I’ll listen to offers, but.
You might take an offer on this?
Yeah.

GARY: I don’t have to have a car that’s running and be drivable.
I just enjoy them just sitting in the building here.

So, Gary, you’ve never driven this?
No.
It’s been here 15 years?
I’m afraid so.

ROBBIE (VOICEOVER): Kudos to Gary for preserving this truck.
15 years ago, guys would’ve thrown a $5,000 paint job on this thing and sent it down the road.

It looks like the bed is in really good shape, Gary.
Probably the floor is a little jammed up, but.
It’s been here 15 years?
I’m afraid so.

Boy, time flies.

• It’s dying to get on the road.

• Yeah.
  I know it is.

DANIELLE: You can buy a restored vintage automobile anywhere.
That’s an easy find.
What we do is we find the automobiles that are not restored.
This ’39 Ford is all original, untouched.
It’s still in its pure vintage state.

$4,000.
Hmm.
I really don’t want to let it go for that.
Pickups are hot now.
They’re always hot in my world.
I just love pickups, you know?
I was thinking 6.

Ooh.
[sighs] That’s–
Got stressful.
Did you hear that?
Yeah.
I’m thinking of how much time and money I’d have to put into it.
Yeah.
That’s the big thing.
Yeah.
4,500.

No, I can’t, no.
I’m afraid I’m going to have to say no sale.

You were at 6.
Yeah.
Meet me somewhere in the middle.
55, and that’s– that’s–

• 55.
  That’s past the middle, but that’s progress.
  That’s a little bit past the middle.
  It’s down there.

That’s the best I can do.
If you want to think about it for.

My grandfather always told me the time to buy an antique is when you see it.
Exactly.

This has a title to it too?

• No, I don’t–

• Ooh.
  Ooh.
  –I don’t believe so.

It get lost in the way somehow?
Yeah.
It probably– yeah.
I have no idea where it would be.
That’s what happens a lot.

DANIELLE: When you’re buying a vehicle that doesn’t have a title, it means calls or trips to the DMV.
It means finding a bill of sale.
It means basically proving the car’s not stolen.
I mean, it’s not a deal breaker, but it is a massive headache.

5,200.
I’m going to stick with 55.
If I don’t sell it, I won’t be sad.

You want to think about it for a minute and check out the other barn?
It’s the moment.
It’s right here.
We’re at it.
You do not find these anymore, Gary.
You don’t find them in original paint.
Right.
I mean, a lot of people like that ’39 grille.
Yeah, I– I think it’s pretty cool.
I think it’s one of the coolest grilles ever made, you know, and it’s not all beat up.
Yeah.

I’ll tell you what, Gary, I’m going to take it for 55.
OK.
I think that we can do something with this.

Darn.
Look at him, he’s– he says “darn.”

ROBBIE (VOICEOVER): Once we ship this back home, we’re going to do a few repairs for about $3,500, and it’ll be back on the road in no time.
These things are incredible.
Ooh, they’re heavy.
We certainly can’t fit the truck in the back of the truck.

I’ll tell you what, Gary, it’s been an interesting day.

• It has, yeah.

• Yeah.
  Thank you so much.
  My pleasure.

Hey, all I can say is, keep those grandkids of yours involved in this.
Right.
Because that’s what’s going to save all that family history.

• Yeah.

• All right, thank you again.

• Nice to meet you.

• Thanks a lot.

• Have a great day.

• Thanks a lot.
  You too.
  See you later.
  Stop anytime.
  See ya.

• Sweet pickin’, Gary.
  Bye.
  Thank you.

MIKE WOLFE: This pick was already incredible.
But now, I’m staring down the headlights of a 1934 Ford Cabriolet.

He bought this probably 12 to 15 years ago.
Pretty cool looking.
And him and my mom would take it out on Sunday drives.

When was the last time it ran?
That’s cool.

ROB: I drove it probably a few weeks ago.
Runs good.

MIKE WOLFE: A 1934 Cabriolet convertible V8, every option known to man at that time.
When Ford stepped away from the 1931 Model A, things changed drastically.
The mechanical and aesthetic innovations in 1932, 33, and 34 are why these cars are so sought-after.

In 1932, the Ford V8 came out.
In 1933, the body style was changed dramatically.
If you look at the front of a 1934 Ford, the width, the curve, the size of the fenders are sexy.
With each year, the cars got more elegant, more refined, and more streamlined.

How does it shift?
How does it go through the gears?
The transmission, all that works fine.
It’s just got a little play in the wheel.
And it’s gotten, I guess, the old manual brakes.
It’s a little hard to stop.

And TJ enjoyed old cars.
And he had a few over the years.
But that was his latest.

What do you want for the car?
I mean, I’d like to get 40.
I mean, I really don’t have to sell it.
Yeah.

ROB: Not pressed to sell it.

MIKE WOLFE: Overall, the car is solid for being over 80 years old.

Let’s fire it up.
But the kind of money that we’re talking here is serious cash.
So everything has to be looked at.

[engine starting]

What’s that noise?
ROB: If you let the clutch out, I think that’s clutch noise you’re hearing.
I see.

It sounds good.
Sounds smooth.
Well, take it for a ride.

Really?

I’ve driven ’34 Ford Coupes before.
But I’ve never driven a ’34 convertible.
I’m excited to get on the road with it.

[inaudible]
If you had the means to buy a car like this in 1934, then you were a part of the 1% in America that could own something like this.
’34, we’re coming out of the depression.
Prohibition is gone.
And you’re driving a 1934 Cabriolet.
Woo.

So if you were driving a car like this, you were balling.

The big thing the car has going for it is the engine.
It sounds perfect.
You got it.
It sounds good.

Is that clutch noise, I wonder.
I know.
Hear that?
Yeah.
You know, usually, it’s a throwout bearing.

After driving the car, the biggest thing that it’s going to need is a new throwout bearing.
OK?
You got to drop the rear end of the car to put that in.
That’s going to cost some money.

I noticed the speedometer didn’t work.
And the radiator, you can see, it’s loosing fluid.

The car is over 80 years old.
Of course, it’s going have some issues.
But if I’m going to put a number on this thing, I’ve really got to pick it apart the same way that somebody is going to pick it apart when we go to sell it.

I noticed the lights don’t work either.
Yeah.
The headlights don’t work.
That’s right.

Paint’s cracked and pretty bad right here.
Look over here.
We’ve got some real cracks.

MIKE WOLFE: The paint is starting to fail.
It’s chipping.
It’s flaking.
This is an older amateur restoration that is really starting to show its age.

Tell me where you’re at.
Well, I was at 40.

I don’t think you’re off in regards to, like, if the car was mechanically perfect.
And what I mean by that, like, the clutch wasn’t making that noise.
The headlights work.
The speedometer worked.
The radiator wasn’t leaking fluid.
If all that stuff was fixed, I think it’s a $40,000 car.
Right.

This is an extremely desirable car.
And usually you see them, they’re completely rusted out.
They need to be restored.
Or they’re in the middle of a restoration.
Or they’re restored, so nice they look like a piece of jewelry, and they’re extremely expensive.

But to me, this is the way you want to buy them.

35,000.

We’re talking a lot of money here.
Would you do 37?

[sighs]

Overall, the car is pretty solid.
But it’s got some mechanical issues.
That is what’s taking it down to the point where we can afford it, to buy it, and make a little bit of money.

I’d do 36.

Yeah, I can do that.
I do appreciate that.
All right.
I feel good about that too.
I very much appreciate it.
We’re doing this.
Awesome.

MIKE WOLFE: This is the type of car that no matter how old it gets and no matter how many owners it has, everyone feels the same excitement and passion to own something like this.

I’m excited to get that Ford up the way it should be.
I appreciate you all coming.
Heck, yeah.

I think they understood what I was up against.
It was a good process.
And I think that I got as much as I think I could get with anybody else.

See you, Rob.
See you.

Check that out, Mike.
What do we got?

MIKE (VOICEOVER): We’re with Joe and Wally in central Washington picking through Joe’s dad’s body shop that he packed floor to ceiling with car parts, motorcycle parts, and anything else he could find.

This is great.
Yeah, you don’t find a lot of this old stuff here.
This is awesome.

He smashed it up.

FRANK (VOICEOVER): And it’s dark, and it’s packed full.
Here you go, check this out.
A little dual power.

FRANK (VOICEOVER): This is just exactly the kind of place I like to be in.

Yeah, he kept a little bit everything, didn’t he?
There’s a lot of rims up there.

MIKE: All of this stuff was junk.
It was going to scrap.
But guys like Joe’s dad, the pickers, the scrappers, the body men, had that crystal ball.
And they knew someday all of us were going to appreciate this even more.

You guys got a ’34 Ford?
The Wing model?
Yeah.
Yep, yep.

MIKE: Wally had my attention as soon as he said they had a ’33 or a ’34 Ford.

[metal crashing]

• Got it.

• Yeah?

• Got it, yeah.
  Woo!
  We got it, got it, yep.

What’s the– what’s the– what do you got exactly?
Is it a rolling chassis or?
Yeah, a set of frame rails, rear end, front axle, body, doors.

MIKE: ’32, ’33, ’34, these cars are highly sought after.
But for some reason, the ’33 seems like the hardest one to find.

Look at that.
Ooh.
Oh, Frank, look at that tree coming–

• Oh my gosh.

• –right up on it.

That’s been sitting there awhile, hasn’t it?

MIKE: Up against a tree is a 1933 Five-Window Coupe.
Now, ’32 was an epic year for Ford.
The first V8, the first year body style, I mean, they nailed that.
But in ’33, they took it to the next level.
It was more aerodynamic.
It was more streamlined.
The grill was swooping.
The hood louvers were curved.

Pretty solid piece.

MIKE: You can look at the dash.
On a ’33, it’s a one-year only dash.
Such a desirable car, they completely remake these bodies.

MIKE: The ’32 is beautiful, but the ’33 is the older, sexier sister.

So what you’ve got is you’ve got a body, you’ve got a frame, the rear end.
I see you got the block.
The dash is gone.
Yeah, there’s a dash in the back room.
Is there?
Yeah, the red one hanging against the back wall over there.

It’s a good candidate for restoration.

MIKE (VOICEOVER): This is the way I want to find them.
No paint, you can see what you’re dealing with.
There’s no Bondo in this thing.
I mean, this is real deal Henry Ford steel.

I’m just looking at the bottom of this door.
It looks like it’s rotted, it looks like.
The bottom of that door on the right is worse than this one.

MIKE: This car is in great shape considering where it’s lived all of these years.
It’s solid.
Yes, it has rust on it, but it doesn’t have a lot of rot.
There’s a difference between rust and rot.
Rot is beyond rust, where you can just poke your finger through it and there’s large holes.
This is just surface rust with some of the old paint color coming through.

Well, where– where are you guys at?
Have you talked to anybody in your family about wanting to sell this or where you’re at with selling it?

• Oh, it’s all going to be sold.
  We just, you know, don’t know where to start.

What would you feel comfortable selling it at?
I think if somebody came right up and offered you 14 for it, he’d probably take it.
Yeah, with the– the things that we mentioned that go with it.
Yeah.

How nice is the dash?
It’s complete.
It’s got the instrument panel.
It’s hanging right on the back wall in the shop when we were in there.

MIKE (VOICEOVER): $14,000 is a lot of money.
But he says he’s got the dash, he’s got the grill.
Those are the things that are going to add up that really make this car have value.
That’s where the money comes in.

What do you think?
[sighs]

MIKE: So I’m looking at the situation.
I’m thinking, if we come to a deal, how are we going to get this out of here?
Because there’s a tree growing up on its side.
And I want to free this car from where it’s embedded so the shipper doesn’t have any problems when he comes to pick it up.

There’s a lot of local car builders here that have been bugging me to sell stuff.
It’s like you just kind of– when you buy something like this, you just got to jump off.

• Yeah, because then you–

• You know?
  Well, then you get a jump off a lot more times.
  And you better be doing more than dog paddling.

14?
We’re doing it.
I’m going to do it.
All right.
I’m doing this.

MIKE: To find a ’33 Ford Five-Window Coupe sitting next to a tree, that’s picking folklore.

So I tell Joe and Wally, if you know a tow truck driver, get him over here because we’re going to start digging this thing out.
This is the kind of challenge that we live for.

All right.
All right, Frank.

OK, watch out.
Try pulling back straight back.
Whoa!
OK!
Wait, you’re hitting a firewall up here.

MIKE: So it’s a little bit touch and go trying to get this thing out.
You have to get the front wheels past that stump because we’re trying to preserve the car on the left side of it.

Push it forward.
We got to push it forward so we can straighten the wheels.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

MIKE (VOICEOVER): That’s the biggy.
And then while you’re trying to do that, the back end is shifting, and it’s going up against the other cars right next to it.
And the last thing we want to do is mess up this body because that’s the money.

So you got to go straight back.
You can’t pick– you got to go straight back.
Not up and back, straight back.

MIKE: You know, every time you thought you had the front of it around the edge of the tree to pull it straight, the car was going really close to the next one.

You’re going to scrape that ’57, huh?

MIKE: So we were really trying to be respectful, but aggressive.

There we go.
There you go.
I think it’s going.
Yep, all the wheels are rolling on it.
Yeah.
That’s amazing.
It’s looking better now.
Woo!
Looking good.

All right, glad we got it out.
Honored to own it.

MIKE: There’s a lot of different ways to go at this car.
If you want to make the car perfect, you can do that.
But the guy that wants to honor it the way it is, just run it without the fenders Bonneville style, man, just going down the road, no hood, put a big flatty in there, dual power, is appreciating it even more.

It was cool.
It was one of those days that I’ll never forget because you never find a ’33 Ford like that.

That’s what I want on my gravestone, man.
“Here lies a guy that cut a ’33 Ford Five-Window Coupe from a tree.”
[horn honks]
Sweet pickin’!

Down the road they go.
[music playing]

MIKE WOLFE: Hey, What’s going on
Are you Larry?
LARRY: Yes, I am.

• All right, I’m Mike.
  This is Frank.

• How are you doing?
  Nice to meet you.

We met some scrappers down the road.
Right?
And they said that your father had passed away, he was a collector, and that you were thinking about selling a few things.

Yes, I am.
My dad’s name is Harold Snow, but he’s been known as Hank Snow for years and years.
But he’s not the sing arranger Hank.
He just passed away a year ago.

We can go in this garage door over here that’s open.
This one?
Uh-huh.

Oh, he’s holding out on us!
[wolf whistle]

FRANK FRITZ: Wow!
MIKE WOLFE: Oh, my gosh!
FRANK FRITZ: Awesome.

This is the kind of freestyle pick that makes me love what I do.

MIKE WOLFE: Frank’s a Cadillac guy.
There’s a Cadillac, there’s a Model A, and then there’s a Model T.

Just think how old this car is.
I mean, they started making Model Ts in ’08, and this is an ’11.

MIKE WOLFE: Early Model T stuff is hard to find, and it can get real expensive.

Has it got the original motor in it?
Oh, yeah.

MIKE WOLFE: I’ve stepped over a lot of Model T’s.
I mean, I’m not really truly versed in every form and fashion of them.
But this is a 1911.
And the earlier Model T’s will command some money.

When’s the last time the Model A ran?
Somewhere between three to four years ago.

MIKE WOLFE: Model T’s were made from 1908 to 1927.
Then they came out with the Model A.

So are these two cars that you thought about selling?
Yeah.
This one and that one.

MIKE WOLFE: I think if that car was rolling down the road with the type of restoration that’s on it–
LARRY: Right.
MIKE WOLFE: –that’s, like, a $15,000 car.
Mm-hm.

This car here, you know, the Model A coupe– again, an older restoration, but I like the older restorations on something like this.
Mm-hm?

You know, I mean, I think to the right guy– like at the very end of the rainbow on this thing, if it’s running, driving down the road, and, like, he has to have it– with this restoration and some of the bangs in the body and everything, this is a $10,000 car on the high side.

Here’s what I’d do.
For both cars– $18,000.

Tell me what you’re thinking.
Is it possible you could do maybe $18,500?
That’s for both of them.

I noticed the camber of that front wheel is, like–
Well, you notice the chip out of–
–laying over.
–of the tire too?

MIKE WOLFE: The what?
FRANK FRITZ: Chip out of the tire.

LARRY: All right, I’ll be back in just a second.

What’s that right there?
MIKE WOLFE: Yeah, it needs a tire.
There’s a hook gone on it.
FRANK FRITZ: That’s gone.

Frank’s looking at the car, and he’s such an eagle eye.
You know, he’s really starting to pay attention to things.
Because most of the cars he buys, he loses money on.

You tell me, what do you think?
I’d stick– I mean, 18– I’d stay right there.

You’re going to have at least probably $800 to $1,000 apiece shipping them.
So there’s an extra two grand on top of it.
Each car.

This hasn’t been ran for four or five years, so you never know.

Here’s the way I’m breaking it down.
I think I can sell the Model T– if everything goes right, the stars align– $15,000.
So I have to be able to buy the Model T for $12,000.
And the $15,000 is if it doesn’t have anything majorly wrong with it, you know?
So that’s what I’m speculating.

For something like this, I’m always calculating risk.

Now on the Model A– running, driving, jump in it, it’s $10,000.
So I have to be able to buy the Model A for, like, $6,000, you know?
And then I got to figure shipping.

[chuckling]
Oh, you got tires!
You got tires.

• Yeah.
  A set of brand new ones.
  Pretty well new tires.
  You can tell by the tread of these.

I’ll tell you what, if you throw the tires in, I’d do $18,200.
$18,200.

MIKE WOLFE: For the two cars.
All right, that’ll work.

You’ll do it?
That’ll do it.

All right.

LARRY: Appreciate that.

This is a big deal, man.
We got a Model T. We got a Model A.
For us driving around the countryside and getting a lead from some scrappers, you know, we did pretty good for ourselves here.

I can’t wait to get these cars back, figure out exactly what’s wrong, get them fired up, and get them back into circulation.
That’s what it’s all about.

Hey, man.
Think that was it.
Thank you.
You dad was a hell of a guy.

• I–
  MIKE WOLFE: I mean, I really feel like I got to know him today.
  You know, walking around, seeing his photos and cruising through the place.
  I get the same feeling when I come up here.

Mike and Frank– they salvage a lot of stuff that would normally go in somebody’s junk pile.
They’re very knowledgeable guys.
And I know that these things will be taken care of and appreciated.

All right, buddy, peace.

All right, now.
