Overhouling Car on the Block - Page 2 - Lateral-g Forums

I'm sure that the question was if someone thought he needs the money, not whether or not he has the right to sell it. I don't care if he has sold his soul to the Devil himself. I think it sucks that his buddy set up the deal with Overhaulin and now he dumps the car. Tells me what kind of a "Friend" he must be. If he doesn't need the money, cool. I recall all the flap he made about how much he loved that car and how he'd never get rid of it. I guess he either got another car he loves more, another friend he likes more or he needs the money. Thats F-ing amazing to me.

If you have watched the posts elsewhere regarding the American Hot Rod show, not everything you see on TV is real. Just as the deadlines and bickering on AHR are mostly staged to add drama to the show, it is also possible that the Jason Priestly involvement and the "I'll never get rid of it" statement made for a better story. It's called fiction.

Everyone is entitled to their opinion and I have stated mine. I have thought way too much about this already. I am done.

A man can sell his soul if he want too.But a real car guy that get a car like that wouldn't sell it for no money . I think what the guys are saying that they wouldn't sell a car that had that much history by tv.so your coment was out of place dude. think before you open wide.

Well, the 100 miles has to say something. Either he thinks it is too nice to drive. Or he thinks it is just to valuable to drive and depreciate. Or he thinks it is worth so much more now before the star power wears off, he feels he just has to sell it as a good business decision. Or........He hates it.

It did not go from dream car to FOR SALE car in only 100 miles, just because!

Real car guys sell cars that nice or nicer every day. I've sold some pretty nice cars, am I not a car guy now?

I was at the shop that did the upholstery on the car for the show last year and the car was there getting some stuff fixed. There were 4 mismatched wheels on the car. There was mention of something not paid for and the wheels were taken and replaced with the mismatched ones as if to make a point. Maybe he does need the money. Has anyone seen him working ?

Maybe he just wants a more drivable car. Like something with a working top. Rain...

i have a different view of this also .

we built a car this year for my dad , 55 nomad , he has had the car for
32 years . he has stated in the past he would be burried in that car . he sold the car at sema this year ! i was amazed , mother pissed off , brother pissed off ,everyone around him suprised . so i asked him why he sold the car .........................his response was , it was to nice and all i wanted was a driver , i cant drive the car for fear of tearing it up.

so maybe he dont like a nice car
