New show Wrecks to Riches

[one+g]

Nice car I thought BUT 30,000! AND SOLD FOR 60000+. Come on. My uncle has a Midnight Blue SS of same year with a mild 402. Car was a ground off and looks awesome. It runs 12.10's in the quarter at 118mph or so ON MOTOR ON STREET TIRES. He built it himself with a little wheelin and dealin for around 10000 or so out of pocket. I bet he would throw it at you for 60k!!!!
I just get annoyed at these shows such as Barrett Jackson that have driven the price of musclecars through the ROOF!!!!

There is one (Blue Ford) on the cover of this months Hot Rod. Same Stripe effect with SMC in it.

What gets me going is the average person is watching this and thinking they can double there money if they go out and buy a muscle car and fix it up.
It will cause the prices to come up again.

Like I said, I would bet that they paid the production company to make the show, it's pretty common.

You pay to make the show and hope to cash in down the like like the guys from American Chopper.

Hey, at least the car didn't have typical billet wheels..

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.

I aplologize for posting such a harsh response. It just burns my nuts to see our thing get hyper-commercialized just so some bozos can make a buck. It's the automotive equivalent of Grandma Bluehair wearing a West Coast Choppers hoodie and whistling Monster Magnet.

halarious; I had the same idea about the show. All the drama just doesnt fit. Even though they say they spent 30k they probably spent more like 50k either way crapie production but a car show none the less. I'll watch it over the other stuff out there besides overhaulin which in fact is getting corny but still a cool show.

I liked it in general, anything to do with building cars I enjoy.................I don't like Barry White though (based on what I see on the show) his little snid grin and head nod when he does it irks me almost as bad as having to look and hear AJ on Overhaulin pretend she is Courtney..................

[Tim Baillie]

And on a side note, those two new putz's they have on Trucks is disgusting...........Stacey David I think was one of the all time best "car show" hosts..................no one else could have that much fun and get that excited............roid boy and dork boy need to go away..........

[Steve Chryssos]

I jusy met Stacey David in Indy. Real nice, down-to-earth guy. He was wearing Air-Ride colors--not sure what that means.

[markss28]

i agree about the 2 news guys on the trucks show they suck. What ever happened to Stacey anyway?

I was told Stacey jumped ship and has something else cooking. Time will tell I guess.
