They bought a 67 f250 and resold it at auction.
They lost $700 on the deal. What was interesting
For me was that when it went across the block
It was billed as a 68 with a 360. It was definitely
A 67 and had an fe motor. Should have been a
352.

I like the fact this show has fords, from the raptor, the galaxie to the bumps. Love the burnouts in the Lincoln, good ole 460! Next week's show looks interesting.

Duckryder...

I too am undecided. That olds WAS a crime. I like some of their stuff, but like every "reality" show I feel like it will kill the fun for those that have done it before them... like storage wars, pickers, etc....

I think the show is awesome, but watching the episode with the Galaxie the other night was kinda funny. The car had been sitting for something like 20 years and they decided that just by looking at the spark plugs which weren't "clean enough" the engine was toast and they all of a sudden had to find another car to meet their deadline. :roll:

I cant wait to see their new "supertruck".
I believe i saw another color F100 in the background one time.
And the way rich was talking about that F250 Camper Special, it sounds like he may have a connection to them or own one or two we dont know about.
I just hope this doesnt turn into a show like Sons of Guns, where they are doing, in my opinion, stupid things instead of something innovative. Also no drama.
I mean who needs a 40 ft flamethrower.

Oh, and watch out for your tv guide info, comcast has been wrong twice on years given.
Example, comcast said 1949 F1 when the show said 1951.

I paid $1250 for my SB.....and drove it home :lol: not sure about forking out $5500 for that Caddy either.

$50k boys for the finished product, I have my wife watching this, told her all I need is about 20K to throw in mine and I too could have a 50K truck! :lol:

yes, but I'd let my wife give me $20K for my truck, furthermore, if someone wanted to give me $50K for it I would take it.....and if they didn't, I'd keep it :wink:
