Thats a pretty good amount but he didnt consider labor even though it was his crew that built it he still has to pay them something.
Cool show anyway.

Well, I have a HARD time believing they built that car for $30k.. when they did the engine the price went up $6000.. what about the tranny, rearend, driveshaft, etc.. That motor alone had to be $8k.. the frontrunner vintage air system is well over a grand .. I really don't think that car was worth what the bid came in at, but the guy the won it was a freind of Barry and a collector of his cars..
Also, it was cheating to say he got the car free since he took it from his daughter.. the car still had value.
Sorta like on Monster Garage (when it first came out) when they said they had $3000 to do the build then got $10k in "freebies"..
Other than that and the contrived "drama" I liked the show.. sorta like Overhauling without the lame prank..
