I get it now,didn't know about the show cars, etc.

As for most reality TV car shows,they are mostly antics,and not so much car. I never did see many episodes of that show, it was on before I had DISH. When I first did see the reruns I didn't like the antics so I didn't watch it.

Thanks for the explanation.

The red 40 something pickup they sold for Pratte the other night looked nice.

But i am thinking we all underestimated what a fool and his money will part with for Chezoom, and the auctions as said just bring foolish money.

It makes it harder for the average Joe, or Jarhead in my case to afford a BJ, LMAO

I think we underestimated too. I guessed what I thought it was worth, but I forgot that B-J liquors up the Bidders and you know what happens with people with too much money

What I always underestimate at BJ is the AVERAGE AGE of the bidders.... and how much gold jewelry they're wearing - and creased and starched designer blue jeans.... and the size of the cigars if they'd let 'em smoke 'em in there... LOL


By the way -- the RED '40 pickup was done by Squeegs.... it was STARTED by Boyd Coddington but Squeegs built it. Squeegs is a TOP NOTCH builder... so my guess is it's flawless and runs and drives as good as it looks.

Boyd was the Grand Marshall at a car show I went to. I had a chance to BS a minute with him and I asked him about American Hot Rod TV show.

For what it's worth, he said lots of the bickering was scripted by the producers for dramatic effect, but who knows.
Yes that is true.

I think Cadzilla was done during the time that Chip Foose worked for the Hawaiian shirt wearing clown. I never like Boyd's stuff, John Butterra.....there was a great So-Cal craftsman. There is a lot of hype going over that Chebbie.....but, I wouldn't want to own it.....don't like the styling!

Agreed! Lil John was known in SoCal car and motorcycle circles before all these cat fighting car shows hit the little screen.

I never early cared for most of the cars Boyd built on the show. But I have seen many that were done off camera for customers and most all were really spot on builds.

Yes the Chezoom is a very unique car design wise. Personally I think it is wild and like it. Although that new interior really sucks.

Always hard to say what some of these cars will bring, but I think $250k plus is my guess.
