1
00:00:00,668 --> 00:00:02,401
- Holy cow! Yeah!
- So cool!
2
00:00:02,603 --> 00:00:04,536
- ...Place is crazy!
3
00:00:04,605 --> 00:00:05,470
- Are you sitting down?
4
00:00:05,539 --> 00:00:08,273
The guy told me
he's got a shelby gt500
5
00:00:08,476 --> 00:00:09,541
In his barn.
6
00:00:09,609 --> 00:00:10,943
- What the heck is this?
7
00:00:11,145 --> 00:00:12,611
- They're across the street,
they're on the roof.
8
00:00:12,679 --> 00:00:14,013
- Dang!
(deep breath)
9
00:00:14,215 --> 00:00:16,548
- I was about to catch him,
I thought he would faint.
10
00:00:16,750 --> 00:00:18,149
- This is the shelby crypt?
11
00:00:18,218 --> 00:00:20,986
Have you guys ever entertained
the idea of selling the car?
12
00:00:22,490 --> 00:00:25,356
(intro theme)
13
00:00:25,426 --> 00:00:27,358
(rooster cry)
14
00:00:27,428 --> 00:00:28,994
(rhythmic music)
15
00:00:32,766 --> 00:00:33,766
Okay. So we're going to this guy
16
00:00:33,968 --> 00:00:35,100
That we've picked about
eight years ago.
17
00:00:35,169 --> 00:00:39,004
He had an old chevy dealership,
probably from the 1920s.
18
00:00:40,508 --> 00:00:42,007
(rhythmic music)
19
00:00:46,713 --> 00:00:48,380
What there was, was a neon,
20
00:00:48,449 --> 00:00:50,849
Probably 40s...
21
00:00:51,051 --> 00:00:52,518
- Ah, cool.
- ...That hung in the window,
22
00:00:52,586 --> 00:00:53,518
That says "chevrolet".
23
00:00:53,587 --> 00:00:54,987
It's a dealership sign.
24
00:00:59,593 --> 00:01:00,992
And I have a picture
25
00:01:01,061 --> 00:01:03,261
Of columbia motor alley
with that sign in it.
26
00:01:03,330 --> 00:01:05,063
- Ooh.
27
00:01:05,132 --> 00:01:07,065
- For the past four years,
we've been restoring
28
00:01:07,134 --> 00:01:11,003
A 1947 chevrolet dealership
in columbia, tennessee.
29
00:01:12,406 --> 00:01:14,006
(soft music)
30
00:01:16,009 --> 00:01:18,076
Preserving this dealership
is a big deal,
31
00:01:18,145 --> 00:01:21,814
Because it's a huge part
of transportation history.
32
00:01:22,016 --> 00:01:23,548
So since we were going
to be in the area,
33
00:01:23,617 --> 00:01:24,549
I reached out to the guy.
34
00:01:24,618 --> 00:01:26,484
And I'm like, "hey do you
still have the neon?"
35
00:01:26,553 --> 00:01:27,953
He's like, "I got it."
36
00:01:28,155 --> 00:01:29,488
And I'm like, "do you still
not want to sell it?"
37
00:01:29,556 --> 00:01:32,291
And I told him that
we were going to use it
in another dealership.
38
00:01:32,359 --> 00:01:33,158
- Cool.
39
00:01:33,227 --> 00:01:33,826
- And that's...
When we turned the page.
40
00:01:34,028 --> 00:01:35,561
- It's around here?
- Yeah.
41
00:01:35,763 --> 00:01:36,828
It's really important to me
42
00:01:36,897 --> 00:01:39,898
To cross every "t"
and dot every "I"
43
00:01:39,966 --> 00:01:41,967
When it comes to
a preservation project.
44
00:01:42,169 --> 00:01:45,904
So it's a really big deal
if we can walk away
45
00:01:45,972 --> 00:01:48,307
With an original
chevy dealership sign,
46
00:01:48,375 --> 00:01:51,910
To put it back into a building
that held the same exact thing.
47
00:01:51,979 --> 00:01:54,579
Keith isn't going to be there,
he's in florida.
48
00:01:54,648 --> 00:01:56,181
So he sent another guy over.
49
00:01:56,249 --> 00:01:57,649
I don't know what he wants
for it, you know what I mean?
50
00:01:57,718 --> 00:01:58,917
He hasn't told me
the price on it.
51
00:01:59,119 --> 00:02:01,853
He said, he's still
him-hawing around about it.
52
00:02:01,922 --> 00:02:02,654
This is it right here,
this is the place.
53
00:02:02,856 --> 00:02:04,856
- Whoa!
- I know, look at that.
54
00:02:04,925 --> 00:02:06,592
See, that's exactly
the way I remembered it.
55
00:02:06,660 --> 00:02:07,926
- That is a cool building.
56
00:02:07,995 --> 00:02:09,528
- And that's the neon.
- Oh, there's the neon!
57
00:02:09,597 --> 00:02:11,797
- I know, see?
- Yeah.
58
00:02:11,865 --> 00:02:13,665
- It'd look killer
in motor alley.
59
00:02:13,733 --> 00:02:14,866
- Do I need to... Bring a flyer?
60
00:02:14,935 --> 00:02:16,335
- Bring him a flyer,
it's a different dude.
61
00:02:16,403 --> 00:02:17,002
- Alright.
62
00:02:19,940 --> 00:02:21,806
- See? That's what
I'm talking about.
63
00:02:21,876 --> 00:02:23,408
Look at that, man.
- That's nice, man.
64
00:02:23,944 --> 00:02:25,477
- That's exactly
the way I pictured it.
65
00:02:25,679 --> 00:02:26,878
- Let's get that thing.
66
00:02:26,947 --> 00:02:28,013
- That's what I'm going
to try to do, man.
67
00:02:30,284 --> 00:02:31,616
Hello!
68
00:02:32,019 --> 00:02:35,420
This property is exactly
the way I remember it:
69
00:02:35,488 --> 00:02:36,221
Frozen in time.
70
00:02:36,624 --> 00:02:38,557
- Hey.
- Hey, man.
71
00:02:38,759 --> 00:02:39,891
Hey, I'm mike.
- I'm kevin.
72
00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:41,560
- Kevin, nice to meet ya.
- Nice to meet ya.
73
00:02:41,628 --> 00:02:42,827
- Jon.
- Jersey jon.
74
00:02:42,896 --> 00:02:44,429
- Nice to meet you, jon.
- And I'm tink.
75
00:02:44,498 --> 00:02:45,564
- Tink?
- Yes.
76
00:02:45,632 --> 00:02:46,498
- Nice to meet you, tink.
77
00:02:46,567 --> 00:02:47,832
- Hi, how are you? Jon.
78
00:02:47,902 --> 00:02:49,768
- I knew keith way back
in high school.
79
00:02:49,970 --> 00:02:51,836
He was a chevy guy,
always ribbing me.
80
00:02:51,906 --> 00:02:53,772
I was a ford guy,
always ribbing him, so...
81
00:02:53,974 --> 00:02:55,974
Keith knows I look after
his stuff for him
82
00:02:56,042 --> 00:02:58,243
Whenever I can up there,
and it's kind of like,
83
00:02:58,311 --> 00:03:00,512
You know, you're not going to do
anything with this stuff,
84
00:03:00,580 --> 00:03:01,446
You might as well
85
00:03:01,515 --> 00:03:02,648
Make a little money.
86
00:03:02,716 --> 00:03:04,849
He's been up here recently,
87
00:03:04,918 --> 00:03:05,717
Trying to get it
organized a little better.
88
00:03:05,786 --> 00:03:07,385
- Well, he's boxing
stuff up more.
89
00:03:07,454 --> 00:03:08,453
- This is tink.
90
00:03:08,656 --> 00:03:10,522
And we are first cousins.
91
00:03:10,590 --> 00:03:12,323
- And second cousins.
92
00:03:12,793 --> 00:03:14,926
(laughs)
- and second cousins.
93
00:03:14,995 --> 00:03:17,996
- Just a team effort.
- We all love cars.
94
00:03:18,064 --> 00:03:20,199
I think we're pretty much
similar in that respect.
95
00:03:20,401 --> 00:03:22,734
- Well supposedly,
he's supposed to sell
me this sign today.
96
00:03:22,803 --> 00:03:24,069
- Yeah.
- But I don't know what
97
00:03:24,271 --> 00:03:27,072
He was asking for it. But...
- Have you seen it already?
98
00:03:27,140 --> 00:03:28,807
- Oh, I saw it...
I mean, I didn't
see it in detail.
99
00:03:28,876 --> 00:03:30,542
Can we look at that in detail?
- Sure.
100
00:03:30,611 --> 00:03:32,477
Feel free to look it over.
101
00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:33,811
- Look at that, jersey.
102
00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:35,480
It's still got
the old transformer...
103
00:03:35,549 --> 00:03:36,215
Hanging on there, man.
104
00:03:36,417 --> 00:03:37,282
- Yeah.
105
00:03:37,484 --> 00:03:38,750
- That's killer.
106
00:03:39,219 --> 00:03:42,020
- To see a sign like this,
in its natural environment.
107
00:03:42,089 --> 00:03:44,756
This thing's been sitting
there for 70, 80 years.
108
00:03:44,958 --> 00:03:46,692
That's a really rare
thing to find.
109
00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:47,826
- So obviously, the transformer
110
00:03:48,028 --> 00:03:49,027
Wouldn't be something
that you would use.
111
00:03:49,229 --> 00:03:50,896
- We would use more of
a modern transformer, you know.
112
00:03:51,098 --> 00:03:52,497
- Yeah, that thing's older
than I am, probably.
113
00:03:52,566 --> 00:03:54,099
- Yeah.
(laughing)
114
00:03:54,301 --> 00:03:56,634
- I obviously haven't seen
this thing in like eight years.
115
00:03:56,703 --> 00:03:58,570
I can see there's a crack there.
116
00:03:58,638 --> 00:03:59,504
I mean, obviously this is
117
00:03:59,573 --> 00:04:00,839
Going to need to have
some work done to it.
118
00:04:00,907 --> 00:04:02,908
'cause we're actually
going to use it.
119
00:04:03,110 --> 00:04:04,509
Let's walk outside
and look at it, let me see.
120
00:04:05,112 --> 00:04:07,012
Let's see if there's
any damage from this side.
121
00:04:09,116 --> 00:04:10,715
See, the only reason I thought
that was a crack,
122
00:04:10,784 --> 00:04:12,517
Because look
at the discoloration
123
00:04:12,586 --> 00:04:13,785
In that tube right there.
124
00:04:13,854 --> 00:04:14,519
- Yeah, that tube
might not be working.
125
00:04:14,588 --> 00:04:15,921
- Big-time discoloured.
126
00:04:15,989 --> 00:04:17,922
- It's got a leak,
that's got to be fixed.
127
00:04:17,992 --> 00:04:20,658
So what did he tell you,
what does he want for it?
128
00:04:20,727 --> 00:04:23,461
- He wants 2200 dollars for it.
129
00:04:23,530 --> 00:04:24,863
- Really?
- Yeah.
130
00:04:24,932 --> 00:04:26,598
- I mean, we can obviously
have this made...
131
00:04:26,666 --> 00:04:27,799
- Yeah.
- There it is.
132
00:04:27,867 --> 00:04:29,600
- I want something
that's authentic.
133
00:04:29,670 --> 00:04:31,003
So, what's his bottom on it?
134
00:04:32,673 --> 00:04:34,006
- I think he might take 2000.
135
00:04:35,943 --> 00:04:39,010
I know it needs work,
but I know keith
136
00:04:39,079 --> 00:04:41,079
And I'm surprised
he's even willing to sell it.
137
00:04:41,148 --> 00:04:43,949
- In my business,
the things that drive you crazy
138
00:04:44,017 --> 00:04:46,084
Are the things that
you couldn't buy.
139
00:04:46,153 --> 00:04:50,355
And now, I have the opportunity
to swing for the fences.
140
00:04:50,423 --> 00:04:51,990
1800 bucks.
141
00:04:52,893 --> 00:04:54,626
- I think he's going
to go for 2000.
142
00:04:54,694 --> 00:04:56,295
I've known him all my life.
143
00:04:56,497 --> 00:04:57,095
- No, I hear ya.
144
00:04:57,297 --> 00:04:58,997
- I mean, mike,
it's a cool sign.
145
00:05:00,834 --> 00:05:02,567
- 2000?
- Yeah, man. Two grand.
146
00:05:02,636 --> 00:05:03,634
- Alright.
- Good deal.
147
00:05:03,704 --> 00:05:04,703
- Thank you, thank you,
thank you, appreciate it.
148
00:05:04,905 --> 00:05:06,237
- You're welcome.
- I appreciate it.
149
00:05:06,307 --> 00:05:08,306
Alright, let's see
if we can get it down
without breaking it.
150
00:05:08,375 --> 00:05:09,174
- Alright.
151
00:05:09,243 --> 00:05:10,309
- Also, we're looking
for this stuff.
152
00:05:10,511 --> 00:05:12,777
- Oh yeah, hit him with
the flyer, I forgot about it.
153
00:05:12,846 --> 00:05:13,845
- Yeah.
- Any of that kind of stuff.
154
00:05:13,913 --> 00:05:15,180
- We're looking
for stuff like this.
155
00:05:15,248 --> 00:05:16,715
If you got anything like this
laying around the place...
156
00:05:16,917 --> 00:05:19,718
- Motorcycles,
scooters, decoys...
157
00:05:19,786 --> 00:05:21,653
- Yeah...
- Doorstops, anything...
158
00:05:21,855 --> 00:05:23,855
- Yeah, furniture.
- Bicycles...
159
00:05:23,923 --> 00:05:26,591
- We have a '67 shelby
sitting in a barn
160
00:05:26,794 --> 00:05:27,526
That's falling apart right now.
161
00:05:27,728 --> 00:05:28,727
- Are you serious?
- Yep.
162
00:05:28,929 --> 00:05:31,663
If you want to see it,
it's real close.
163
00:05:31,865 --> 00:05:34,199
- Really? A shelby?
- '67 gt500.
164
00:05:34,401 --> 00:05:39,805
- 1967 was the last year that
carroll shelby built the gt500.
165
00:05:40,007 --> 00:05:44,009
After that, ford took
over until 1970.
166
00:05:44,077 --> 00:05:46,077
Carroll shelby was one
of the most renowned
167
00:05:46,146 --> 00:05:50,082
Cowboy race car automotive
engineers of all time.
168
00:05:50,284 --> 00:05:54,086
He was an artist under the hood
and behind the wheel.
169
00:05:54,288 --> 00:05:58,423
He was the first american
to win the le mans in 1959.
170
00:05:58,491 --> 00:05:59,624
He was iron man.
171
00:05:59,693 --> 00:06:01,826
There is nothing more american
172
00:06:01,895 --> 00:06:05,430
Than a carroll shelby-
built gt500.
173
00:06:05,632 --> 00:06:06,564
What shape's that in?
174
00:06:06,633 --> 00:06:08,967
- Oh, it's in pathetic shape,
but it's not rusty.
175
00:06:09,035 --> 00:06:11,570
It's all there, basically,
it was actually...
176
00:06:11,772 --> 00:06:12,971
- The original engine's there?
177
00:06:13,039 --> 00:06:14,906
- The original engine
was stolen years ago.
178
00:06:15,108 --> 00:06:17,776
But we have a replacement
428 to go in the car.
179
00:06:17,845 --> 00:06:19,778
- Wow, we've got
to check this thing out.
180
00:06:19,847 --> 00:06:21,780
- How far is that from here?
- Yeah.
181
00:06:21,848 --> 00:06:23,047
- A mile.
- Why don't we do this?
182
00:06:23,116 --> 00:06:25,650
Let's get this sign down.
I'll pay you for the sign.
183
00:06:25,719 --> 00:06:26,918
- Okay.
- And then, if you would
184
00:06:26,987 --> 00:06:28,586
Show us that car.
- Oh, you'll get to see it.
185
00:06:28,655 --> 00:06:30,655
- I would love to see the car.
186
00:06:30,858 --> 00:06:31,989
- Or anything else
we got here too,
187
00:06:32,058 --> 00:06:32,857
You know, we're looking
for all kinds of stuff.
188
00:06:32,926 --> 00:06:34,659
- And there are two more
old muscle cars
189
00:06:34,862 --> 00:06:35,726
Sitting in the pasture
out there.
190
00:06:35,796 --> 00:06:37,329
- Okay, you had me
at shelby gt.
191
00:06:37,531 --> 00:06:38,997
- Shelby gt, man.
192
00:06:43,403 --> 00:06:45,003
(eagle cry)
193
00:06:47,207 --> 00:06:50,742
- Okay, so we're heading over
to meet teako and dillon.
194
00:06:50,810 --> 00:06:52,810
Teako's the dad,
dillon's the son.
195
00:06:52,879 --> 00:06:55,146
We've already picked
them once before.
196
00:06:55,215 --> 00:06:57,482
- I go collecting with my dad
any time we get a chance.
197
00:06:57,684 --> 00:06:58,883
- You know why I like it?
198
00:06:58,952 --> 00:07:00,818
- You're going to do something
crazy with it.
199
00:07:00,887 --> 00:07:01,753
- It can be anything
you want it to be.
200
00:07:01,955 --> 00:07:03,822
- Yes!
- Is this something you'd sell?
201
00:07:03,891 --> 00:07:04,689
- I'd really like
a hundred bucks for it.
202
00:07:04,892 --> 00:07:06,224
- I'm not even gonna
talk you down.
203
00:07:06,292 --> 00:07:10,028
- That was like, eight years ago
or something, seven years ago.
204
00:07:10,230 --> 00:07:12,764
If he's a collector, he's got
to have more stuff now.
205
00:07:12,833 --> 00:07:14,165
- This is a totally
different spot.
206
00:07:14,234 --> 00:07:16,768
He's got different buildings
and he fills up each building.
207
00:07:16,837 --> 00:07:19,304
Ah, okay.
I think this is it, just...
208
00:07:19,373 --> 00:07:20,905
- Holy cow!
209
00:07:20,974 --> 00:07:23,241
- There's all these
great statues everywhere.
210
00:07:23,310 --> 00:07:25,443
So cool!
211
00:07:25,512 --> 00:07:26,844
- There's statues.
212
00:07:26,913 --> 00:07:29,447
A ton of statues
all over the place.
213
00:07:29,516 --> 00:07:30,248
It's incredible.
214
00:07:30,316 --> 00:07:30,982
Wow.
215
00:07:32,051 --> 00:07:34,519
- Take a right into the alley.
- Right here?
216
00:07:34,588 --> 00:07:36,187
- Yeah. This is the place.
217
00:07:36,924 --> 00:07:38,990
(honks horn)
this is the spot. Okay.
218
00:07:40,059 --> 00:07:42,327
- What the heck is going on
with the signs?
219
00:07:42,529 --> 00:07:44,463
Whoa!
- A lot.
220
00:07:44,665 --> 00:07:45,730
There's a lot going on.
221
00:07:45,799 --> 00:07:46,464
- Dani, you weren't
kidding here.
222
00:07:46,533 --> 00:07:47,399
Look at this place.
223
00:07:47,601 --> 00:07:49,000
This place is crazy!
224
00:07:50,537 --> 00:07:51,403
- Hey you guys!
225
00:07:51,605 --> 00:07:53,471
(laughing)
- teako!
226
00:07:53,540 --> 00:07:55,607
Yes...
- Danielle!
227
00:07:55,676 --> 00:07:57,475
- Man...
- How're you doing?
228
00:07:57,544 --> 00:07:59,210
- Wow.
- Oh...
229
00:07:59,279 --> 00:08:00,412
- Man.
230
00:08:00,480 --> 00:08:01,546
- How's life?
231
00:08:01,748 --> 00:08:04,015
- Life is good, really good.
232
00:08:04,083 --> 00:08:05,683
- Good. Here's robbie.
This is mike's brother.
233
00:08:05,752 --> 00:08:06,951
- Hi, robbie.
- Good to see ya.
234
00:08:07,020 --> 00:08:09,688
Man, this place is crazy.
How many statues you got?
235
00:08:09,890 --> 00:08:12,023
- I bet you it's probably
around 20.
236
00:08:12,092 --> 00:08:14,960
They're across the street,
they're on the roof, yeah.
237
00:08:15,028 --> 00:08:16,561
- Those are all yours?
- Mine and the banks.
238
00:08:16,630 --> 00:08:19,163
- Yeah, right.
(laughing)
239
00:08:19,232 --> 00:08:22,434
- She told me you got a couple
of buildings that are full.
240
00:08:22,502 --> 00:08:23,435
Full like this?
241
00:08:23,637 --> 00:08:24,503
- Like this on steroids.
242
00:08:25,038 --> 00:08:27,706
Three years ago, we bought
the old hatch mercantile
243
00:08:27,908 --> 00:08:29,708
Right there
and we started restoring
244
00:08:29,910 --> 00:08:31,443
The building
and putting stuff in it,
245
00:08:31,645 --> 00:08:33,778
To start a trading post.
246
00:08:33,846 --> 00:08:35,113
And we're hoping
to open by summer.
247
00:08:35,181 --> 00:08:37,582
But my wife tells me I've put
too much stuff in there.
248
00:08:37,784 --> 00:08:39,050
So we need to sell some stuff.
249
00:08:39,252 --> 00:08:41,986
I got to get in the restaurant
and get the kitchen going.
250
00:08:42,055 --> 00:08:44,856
Let me get my son, dillon,
to get you guys started.
251
00:08:44,924 --> 00:08:45,724
- Okay, alright.
- Perfect, sounds good.
252
00:08:45,926 --> 00:08:47,592
- And then I'll join you
after a while.
253
00:08:47,794 --> 00:08:49,461
- Perfect. Yeah.
- Sounds good.
254
00:08:49,663 --> 00:08:50,595
Ah, this place is nuts.
255
00:08:50,663 --> 00:08:52,397
- I know, it's incredible.
256
00:08:52,599 --> 00:08:53,198
- The big statues...
257
00:08:53,400 --> 00:08:54,399
Those were
the roadside attractions
258
00:08:54,601 --> 00:08:55,867
From like, route 66.
259
00:08:56,069 --> 00:08:57,468
- Yeah, those are...
- Hey, how are you doing?
260
00:08:57,537 --> 00:08:58,803
- Good, I'm dillon.
261
00:08:58,872 --> 00:08:59,938
- Good to see you, dillon,
rob wolfe.
262
00:09:00,007 --> 00:09:01,740
- Pleasure to meet you.
- Dillon, you grew up!
263
00:09:01,942 --> 00:09:04,009
Oh my god!
- Yes! Good to see you.
264
00:09:04,677 --> 00:09:05,810
- You have a beard now.
265
00:09:05,879 --> 00:09:07,946
- I do have a beard.
- Yeah. I like it.
266
00:09:08,014 --> 00:09:10,348
- It took me eight years
to grow it, I think?
267
00:09:10,416 --> 00:09:11,349
(laughing)
268
00:09:11,551 --> 00:09:13,551
Yeah. A little slow down here,
but I got it, yeah.
269
00:09:13,620 --> 00:09:15,086
I'm nice and thick now.
270
00:09:15,155 --> 00:09:16,954
I'll get the ball rolling,
he'll be shortly behind us.
271
00:09:17,023 --> 00:09:19,557
So actually, the building
I'm going to take you in
272
00:09:19,626 --> 00:09:21,693
Was built in, I think, '39.
273
00:09:21,762 --> 00:09:24,696
And it was
a radio/furniture store.
274
00:09:24,898 --> 00:09:25,830
- Dillon, your neon
looks amazing.
275
00:09:25,898 --> 00:09:27,499
Look, it's all
in perfect condition.
276
00:09:27,701 --> 00:09:29,634
- We are addicted to neon.
277
00:09:29,703 --> 00:09:30,768
You haven't seen anything yet.
278
00:09:30,837 --> 00:09:34,506
Come on inside.
- This is cool. Wow!
279
00:09:34,574 --> 00:09:36,007
- Yes! Look at that!
280
00:09:39,446 --> 00:09:42,013
(rhythmic music)
281
00:09:45,051 --> 00:09:47,585
- Alright, don't lose us.
- Okay, I'll slow down.
282
00:09:47,654 --> 00:09:47,986
(laughs)
- alright, man.
283
00:09:48,388 --> 00:09:49,254
Dude!
284
00:09:49,456 --> 00:09:50,522
- Cool, man.
285
00:09:50,590 --> 00:09:52,324
- Are you kidding me?
286
00:09:52,526 --> 00:09:53,658
'67.
- Yeah.
287
00:09:53,727 --> 00:09:56,060
- Gt500.
- What's up with that?
288
00:09:56,129 --> 00:09:58,863
- As soon as he said gt500,
I was in a friggin' daze.
289
00:09:58,932 --> 00:10:00,264
I was like, imagining
myself driving it.
290
00:10:00,334 --> 00:10:01,932
(laughing)
291
00:10:02,002 --> 00:10:04,669
I was like, imagining
myself driving it!
292
00:10:05,138 --> 00:10:07,005
I got to call richard ellis.
- Yeah, call richard, man.
293
00:10:09,342 --> 00:10:10,274
- Hello.
294
00:10:10,344 --> 00:10:11,543
- Richard.
295
00:10:11,745 --> 00:10:12,810
- How're you doing, mike?
296
00:10:12,879 --> 00:10:14,012
- I'm doing good.
Are you sitting down?
297
00:10:14,081 --> 00:10:16,014
- You might want to sit down
for this one, richard.
298
00:10:16,082 --> 00:10:17,749
- Listen to this. I went
and bought a chevy neon
299
00:10:17,817 --> 00:10:19,684
Off a guy at
an old dealership.
300
00:10:19,886 --> 00:10:21,753
The guy that was
handling it told me
301
00:10:21,822 --> 00:10:26,624
He's got a shelby gt500
in his barn.
302
00:10:26,693 --> 00:10:27,425
And we're following him there...
303
00:10:27,627 --> 00:10:28,493
To look at it right now.
304
00:10:29,296 --> 00:10:32,496
- You're speaking my language,
that's what dreams are made of.
305
00:10:32,565 --> 00:10:33,631
- Yeah!
(laughing)
306
00:10:33,700 --> 00:10:35,834
So anyway, what I want to do is
307
00:10:36,036 --> 00:10:37,968
I want to send you pictures
of this car...
308
00:10:38,038 --> 00:10:39,970
So you can kind of help us
take the temperature
309
00:10:40,040 --> 00:10:43,008
Of the whole situation,
you know what I mean?
310
00:10:44,645 --> 00:10:45,443
- Alright. Talk to you soon.
311
00:10:45,512 --> 00:10:47,045
- Okay.
- Bye.
312
00:10:47,247 --> 00:10:48,847
I know you don't deal with
richard ellis very often...
313
00:10:48,915 --> 00:10:50,715
But that's about
as excited as he gets.
314
00:10:50,784 --> 00:10:52,183
- Really?
- Yeah, because I mean,
315
00:10:52,251 --> 00:10:54,919
The guy's had it all,
he's done it all,
he's seen it all.
316
00:10:54,988 --> 00:10:56,187
I mean, he's the guy
who sold the super snake.
317
00:10:56,256 --> 00:10:57,722
- Wow.
318
00:10:57,791 --> 00:10:59,257
- Yeah, that's what
I'm saying.
319
00:10:59,325 --> 00:11:01,526
But he's not going to believe it
'till he sees it, just like me.
320
00:11:01,928 --> 00:11:03,928
Oh, look at this barn.
I can't believe...
321
00:11:03,996 --> 00:11:05,329
- Whoa... Look at this barn!
- I know, right?
322
00:11:05,799 --> 00:11:07,465
- There's a shelby
in here, dude?
323
00:11:07,534 --> 00:11:09,000
Come on.
- Alright.
324
00:11:10,803 --> 00:11:12,803
Wow... This is
the shelby crypt?
325
00:11:12,872 --> 00:11:16,207
- Nice building, huh?
- So it's a '67.
326
00:11:16,276 --> 00:11:17,008
- Yep.
327
00:11:19,345 --> 00:11:20,144
- Wow!
328
00:11:20,747 --> 00:11:22,147
There's the back end of it.
329
00:11:22,349 --> 00:11:23,014
Woo!
330
00:11:30,757 --> 00:11:32,757
- Wow!
- Yes! Look at that.
331
00:11:32,825 --> 00:11:34,959
- Holy cow!
You weren't kidding.
332
00:11:35,028 --> 00:11:36,961
- It's in here.
All you got to do is find it.
333
00:11:37,030 --> 00:11:40,030
- I don't even know which
direction to go in here.
334
00:11:40,100 --> 00:11:42,901
I think teako has acquired
every piece of neon
335
00:11:42,969 --> 00:11:44,835
And advertising
for this entire town.
336
00:11:44,904 --> 00:11:46,438
And he's crammed it
into one space.
337
00:11:46,640 --> 00:11:48,440
Wow. This is incredible.
338
00:11:48,642 --> 00:11:50,508
- I collect americana.
339
00:11:50,577 --> 00:11:51,843
The stuff that comes out
340
00:11:51,912 --> 00:11:54,645
Of cafés and bars
and gas stations.
341
00:11:54,715 --> 00:11:55,980
Just the stuff that you pull in
342
00:11:56,049 --> 00:11:58,916
And see on the highway,
that's what excites me.
343
00:11:58,985 --> 00:12:01,786
- So when your dad said
he was going to do this,
344
00:12:01,988 --> 00:12:03,788
It looks like he threw
everything in here
345
00:12:03,990 --> 00:12:05,056
Before you guys even got
anything finished.
346
00:12:05,124 --> 00:12:07,725
- A lot of this stuff will
get hung up on the walls,
347
00:12:07,794 --> 00:12:08,526
But there's just
too much stuff.
348
00:12:08,595 --> 00:12:10,661
- Yeah.
- The idea is,
349
00:12:10,731 --> 00:12:11,596
People who eat
at his restaurant
350
00:12:11,665 --> 00:12:13,798
Have to drive at least 40 miles.
351
00:12:13,867 --> 00:12:15,733
So, it's just fun
to have them come in
352
00:12:15,802 --> 00:12:17,535
And then, have more
things to do.
353
00:12:17,604 --> 00:12:19,937
- We've got so much stuff
354
00:12:20,006 --> 00:12:20,871
In what's going to be
the trading post,
355
00:12:20,940 --> 00:12:24,943
The goal is a sparky's
style museum.
356
00:12:25,011 --> 00:12:28,480
No charge, come in,
we're about signs
357
00:12:28,682 --> 00:12:30,482
And neons and old toys.
358
00:12:30,684 --> 00:12:32,016
If people want to buy it,
359
00:12:32,084 --> 00:12:34,986
That's great.
But it's more to just enjoy it.
360
00:12:35,555 --> 00:12:37,288
- Look at that, dani.
361
00:12:37,357 --> 00:12:38,889
The rodeo.
362
00:12:38,958 --> 00:12:41,092
Is that thing cool or what?
At the coliseum.
363
00:12:41,161 --> 00:12:45,096
Who doesn't want
a seven-foot-tall
cowboy cut-out?
364
00:12:45,164 --> 00:12:47,031
I mean, this thing says
everything about the west.
365
00:12:47,100 --> 00:12:50,434
It's got a cowboy,
ready to get into the rodeo.
366
00:12:50,504 --> 00:12:51,903
Are you kidding me?
367
00:12:51,972 --> 00:12:53,438
He got the head,
I mean, he's a little damaged,
368
00:12:53,640 --> 00:12:55,106
But he's still there.
369
00:12:55,174 --> 00:12:56,774
I think what we should do
is cut the top of this out,
370
00:12:56,843 --> 00:12:58,309
Dani, and put
your head in there.
371
00:12:58,377 --> 00:13:00,044
- Yeah.
372
00:13:00,113 --> 00:13:02,914
- Doesn't bother me that
the head has been knocked off.
373
00:13:03,116 --> 00:13:04,048
You just got to cut
a little loop in there,
374
00:13:04,117 --> 00:13:07,585
And what kid doesn't want
to become a cowboy?
375
00:13:07,654 --> 00:13:08,986
Perfect picture opportunity.
376
00:13:09,055 --> 00:13:11,789
- It's hand-painted, you know,
it's the real deal.
377
00:13:11,858 --> 00:13:13,391
- It'd be cool as heck
at the shop.
378
00:13:13,460 --> 00:13:14,258
- It really would.
379
00:13:14,327 --> 00:13:15,994
- What do you got
to have out of it?
380
00:13:16,329 --> 00:13:17,996
- 375.
381
00:13:18,331 --> 00:13:18,997
- 250.
382
00:13:20,867 --> 00:13:22,000
- You got a little
room in there?
383
00:13:23,336 --> 00:13:25,003
- 275.
384
00:13:26,873 --> 00:13:27,538
- Yeah, you got it.
- That work?
385
00:13:27,607 --> 00:13:28,539
- Yeah.
- Alright.
386
00:13:28,608 --> 00:13:29,941
- That's a pretty deep...
387
00:13:30,010 --> 00:13:31,742
Yeah, pretty deep discount.
That did it, yeah.
388
00:13:31,811 --> 00:13:34,012
- I'm happy.
This thing is cool.
389
00:13:40,887 --> 00:13:43,421
- Wow... There's
the back end of it.
390
00:13:43,490 --> 00:13:45,223
- It's a cream puff.
391
00:13:45,425 --> 00:13:46,357
(laughing)
392
00:13:46,426 --> 00:13:47,692
- Woo!
- Wow.
393
00:13:47,760 --> 00:13:49,761
- Jersey jon and I are looking
394
00:13:49,963 --> 00:13:52,297
At the carroll shelby-
built gt500.
395
00:13:52,499 --> 00:13:56,968
Carroll shelby made
a little over 2000
of these cars in 1967.
396
00:13:57,170 --> 00:14:01,039
This isn't the 390,
this is the 500 big block.
397
00:14:01,107 --> 00:14:04,508
At the time, in a mustang,
the biggest engine
398
00:14:04,578 --> 00:14:05,977
You could get was a 390.
399
00:14:06,046 --> 00:14:09,981
Shelby took it to the next level
and put the 428
400
00:14:10,049 --> 00:14:13,384
Police interceptor engine
into the gt500.
401
00:14:13,586 --> 00:14:14,519
This is a unicorn.
402
00:14:14,587 --> 00:14:16,854
Impossible to find.
403
00:14:16,923 --> 00:14:18,789
Is this original paint?
- Original paint.
404
00:14:18,859 --> 00:14:21,926
- Really?
So what's the story behind it?
405
00:14:21,995 --> 00:14:24,662
- We just had a love
for old mustangs and...
406
00:14:24,730 --> 00:14:26,130
- We went ahead and bought it.
407
00:14:26,199 --> 00:14:28,533
- Tink, you're part of this,
you're a piece of the puzzle.
408
00:14:28,601 --> 00:14:29,801
- We're like brothers.
409
00:14:30,003 --> 00:14:33,070
His dad, my dad,
he'd teach us something
410
00:14:33,139 --> 00:14:35,005
About putting spark plugs in
when we were real young.
411
00:14:35,074 --> 00:14:38,743
And then we'd go buy cars
and work on them.
412
00:14:38,945 --> 00:14:40,744
And you know,
the ultimate car to us
413
00:14:40,813 --> 00:14:43,414
Was going to be
a shelby mustang.
414
00:14:43,616 --> 00:14:44,616
Loud and powerful.
415
00:14:44,818 --> 00:14:46,985
Collectable and very, very rare.
416
00:14:47,754 --> 00:14:50,622
We paid 3700 dollars for it.
417
00:14:50,824 --> 00:14:53,624
- How long ago was that?
- 1983.
418
00:14:53,693 --> 00:14:54,893
- Was that crazy
back then or no?
419
00:14:55,095 --> 00:14:57,161
- It was pretty fair.
- It was pretty on par.
420
00:14:57,364 --> 00:15:00,164
- It was on point with it, okay.
I mean, the car's unbelievable.
421
00:15:00,233 --> 00:15:04,835
This car represented everything
carroll shelby was about.
422
00:15:04,905 --> 00:15:06,905
A fiberglass hood,
with an air scoop,
423
00:15:07,107 --> 00:15:10,909
Cooling ducts to
the rear brakes, a spoiler.
424
00:15:11,111 --> 00:15:13,444
This car had shelby's signature
all over it.
425
00:15:13,646 --> 00:15:14,512
- Beautiful, isn't it?
426
00:15:14,714 --> 00:15:16,580
- Man.
- I mean, yeah,
427
00:15:16,650 --> 00:15:17,582
From what I can see so far.
428
00:15:17,784 --> 00:15:19,650
I see the front clips off of it.
429
00:15:19,719 --> 00:15:21,252
- Yeah.
- The hood's gone?
430
00:15:21,320 --> 00:15:25,389
- Hood was blown away
with a tornado back
in the late '70s.
431
00:15:25,458 --> 00:15:26,590
- Really?
- Wow.
432
00:15:26,660 --> 00:15:28,993
- The guy that sold it to us
gave us a whole background.
433
00:15:29,061 --> 00:15:32,463
- This car has even
been stolen once or twice.
434
00:15:32,532 --> 00:15:34,065
- Really?!
- Yeah.
435
00:15:34,133 --> 00:15:35,533
And it was stripped,
and that's why it didn't have
436
00:15:35,602 --> 00:15:36,667
The original engine in it.
437
00:15:36,736 --> 00:15:38,602
- The perfect scenario would be,
438
00:15:38,672 --> 00:15:40,204
If it was an untouched car.
439
00:15:40,273 --> 00:15:44,742
The reason it's still here,
is because it's not that car.
440
00:15:44,810 --> 00:15:46,010
- When we got it,
it was together.
441
00:15:46,079 --> 00:15:49,547
We started taking it apart
to fix fiberglass parts.
442
00:15:49,616 --> 00:15:50,748
- Okay, okay. So you guys,
443
00:15:50,817 --> 00:15:52,483
Your plan was
to restore the car.
444
00:15:52,551 --> 00:15:53,551
- Oh yeah, no doubt.
445
00:15:53,620 --> 00:15:54,686
- When I first looked at it,
446
00:15:54,888 --> 00:15:56,220
It didn't have
the original engine.
447
00:15:56,289 --> 00:15:57,488
- Okay.
448
00:15:57,557 --> 00:15:59,690
- Speedometer wasn't there,
and the tach wasn't original.
449
00:15:59,759 --> 00:16:01,091
- Okay.
- I had to round that up.
450
00:16:01,160 --> 00:16:03,694
- Okay, so you found all that.
- Yeah, I had to get...
451
00:16:03,763 --> 00:16:05,029
- You have all
that stuff for it?
452
00:16:05,098 --> 00:16:07,832
- Yes. We have all of the parts
except for the hood.
453
00:16:07,901 --> 00:16:10,635
He literally spent years
looking for parts,
454
00:16:10,703 --> 00:16:11,836
'cause today, you can get
455
00:16:11,905 --> 00:16:13,637
Re-manufactured stuff
pretty easily,
456
00:16:13,706 --> 00:16:15,973
But back in the '70s and '80s,
457
00:16:16,042 --> 00:16:18,909
There was a lot of stuff
that wasn't reproduced.
458
00:16:18,979 --> 00:16:20,578
And he was always
tracking down the parts.
459
00:16:20,780 --> 00:16:23,180
- Here's a front fender, mike.
460
00:16:23,249 --> 00:16:25,583
- You know, one of those fenders
is kind of rough on the edge,
461
00:16:25,651 --> 00:16:26,985
See right there.
- Yeah.
462
00:16:27,187 --> 00:16:29,119
That's not that big a deal.
- No. And if you notice
463
00:16:29,188 --> 00:16:31,055
The rest of the fender,
there's no rust through it all.
464
00:16:31,124 --> 00:16:34,725
- So does it have the shelby tag
on the fender well there?
465
00:16:34,794 --> 00:16:36,527
- Yeah, it should
still be there.
466
00:16:36,595 --> 00:16:38,997
It's car number 1956.
467
00:16:39,199 --> 00:16:41,399
- The first thing I want to see
is that shelby tag
468
00:16:41,601 --> 00:16:43,067
On the inner apron
469
00:16:43,136 --> 00:16:45,536
Where that front fender
mounts on the driver's side.
470
00:16:45,605 --> 00:16:47,404
Heck dang, there it is.
471
00:16:47,473 --> 00:16:49,406
And it is there.
472
00:16:49,475 --> 00:16:50,341
(sighs in relief)
473
00:16:50,543 --> 00:16:52,943
So do you have all
the instrumentation, tink?
474
00:16:53,013 --> 00:16:54,812
Have you found all
those gauges and everything?
475
00:16:54,880 --> 00:16:57,014
- Yes.
- 'cause all that's pulled.
476
00:16:57,083 --> 00:16:58,950
And you have the pieces
that complete the dash?
477
00:16:59,018 --> 00:17:01,552
- Yes. And one of the hardest
things to find
478
00:17:01,754 --> 00:17:03,554
Was the original steering wheel.
479
00:17:03,623 --> 00:17:05,156
And we have that.
- I see.
480
00:17:05,358 --> 00:17:07,024
So you got the steering wheel,
the steering column right here.
481
00:17:07,093 --> 00:17:09,226
- I found the original
steering wheel's real wood.
482
00:17:09,295 --> 00:17:12,764
- So was this front clip
with it or did you guys
have to find it?
483
00:17:12,966 --> 00:17:14,766
- It came with it,
and if you noticed,
484
00:17:14,968 --> 00:17:16,501
I've done a lot of repair
on that to try
485
00:17:16,703 --> 00:17:18,102
To get the original shape.
486
00:17:18,171 --> 00:17:20,705
- Okay, so what else do you have
for the front of the car?
487
00:17:20,773 --> 00:17:21,639
So there's the gas tank.
- Yep.
488
00:17:21,707 --> 00:17:23,041
- There's the front bumper.
489
00:17:23,243 --> 00:17:25,443
I mean, the biggie is,
what do you have for an engine?
490
00:17:25,645 --> 00:17:27,978
- There is a 1968 or 9
491
00:17:28,047 --> 00:17:31,516
428 cobra jet sitting
somewhere back over here.
492
00:17:31,584 --> 00:17:32,984
Show him the engine.
493
00:17:33,386 --> 00:17:33,985
Tink.
494
00:17:36,789 --> 00:17:38,722
- Oh yeah,
look at that thing.
495
00:17:38,792 --> 00:17:40,257
- That's the main 428,
right there.
496
00:17:40,326 --> 00:17:41,926
- Okay.
497
00:17:41,995 --> 00:17:42,994
- In order for a car
of this calibre to realize
498
00:17:43,062 --> 00:17:45,930
Its highest value,
the numbers have to match.
499
00:17:45,999 --> 00:17:48,398
The motor number has got
to match the body number.
500
00:17:48,802 --> 00:17:50,601
- So, do you have
the original rims?
501
00:17:50,670 --> 00:17:52,136
Do you have the original wheels?
502
00:17:52,338 --> 00:17:55,740
- No we don't. Now, these are
some rare wheels on this car.
503
00:17:55,942 --> 00:17:56,874
- Yeah, are these kelsey's?
- Yeah.
504
00:17:56,943 --> 00:17:59,810
I've never seen another set
of these before.
505
00:17:59,879 --> 00:18:01,879
- So what's the game plan
for the car now?
506
00:18:02,081 --> 00:18:04,549
Like, have you guys
ever entertained the idea
507
00:18:04,751 --> 00:18:07,284
Of possibly selling the car?
508
00:18:08,221 --> 00:18:11,022
- We've had several offers
in the past, but every time,
509
00:18:11,090 --> 00:18:14,358
We said it's still
a restoration under progress.
510
00:18:14,427 --> 00:18:15,559
Five years ago...
511
00:18:15,628 --> 00:18:20,498
A dealer in orlando offered us
75,000 dollars as it sits.
512
00:18:20,566 --> 00:18:21,899
- Really?
- Yeah.
513
00:18:22,101 --> 00:18:24,702
And then two or three weeks ago,
we got an offer
514
00:18:24,904 --> 00:18:26,237
For 75,000 dollars,
it probably--
515
00:18:26,305 --> 00:18:28,839
- Well, why don't we do this?
Can I see the rest of the car?
516
00:18:28,908 --> 00:18:30,841
Can we take this stuff,
me and jersey
517
00:18:30,910 --> 00:18:32,510
And take it off
the back of the car...
518
00:18:32,578 --> 00:18:33,644
And look at the car.
519
00:18:33,846 --> 00:18:35,913
- Do whatever
you want to do.
520
00:18:36,115 --> 00:18:36,848
- If we're going to get
serious about this,
521
00:18:37,050 --> 00:18:39,784
I want to see it,
get underneath it.
522
00:18:39,986 --> 00:18:42,986
I mean, this car
has been through a lot.
523
00:18:43,055 --> 00:18:45,990
It has earned the right
to rest in this barn.
524
00:18:51,397 --> 00:18:52,997
(rhythmic music)
525
00:18:53,399 --> 00:18:54,331
- Dillon!
526
00:18:54,400 --> 00:18:56,400
- Hey, who's making
all that noise back there?
527
00:18:56,468 --> 00:18:57,135
- Right here.
528
00:18:57,337 --> 00:18:58,135
- You ready to test
your strength?
529
00:18:58,204 --> 00:18:59,937
- Well, you can't,
it's missing the thing.
530
00:19:00,006 --> 00:19:02,006
- You're already starting
on the missing part?
531
00:19:02,074 --> 00:19:04,275
- Well yeah, it's missing
the little plunger piece
532
00:19:04,344 --> 00:19:07,745
That goes to the top
and clangs the bell,
it's missing the rubber.
533
00:19:07,814 --> 00:19:09,013
- Um...
- You think it's for sale?
534
00:19:10,550 --> 00:19:11,215
- I can go ask him.
535
00:19:11,684 --> 00:19:13,417
I mean, let's see what he says.
- What are you into now?
536
00:19:13,620 --> 00:19:14,685
- Look at this thing.
537
00:19:14,753 --> 00:19:17,088
Carnival stuff is always hot.
538
00:19:17,156 --> 00:19:18,756
If you're at the carnival,
what do you want to do?
539
00:19:18,958 --> 00:19:20,891
You want to impress
your girlfriend,
540
00:19:20,960 --> 00:19:24,228
Knock the pin down
and hit the top dog.
541
00:19:24,297 --> 00:19:27,765
Look at the size of the bear
she gets to walk around with.
542
00:19:27,833 --> 00:19:30,034
Hey, you guys!
- What's going on?
543
00:19:30,102 --> 00:19:33,104
- Dillon tells me that...
You're kind of focusing
544
00:19:33,172 --> 00:19:35,573
On probably one of the
few things that I can't sell.
545
00:19:35,775 --> 00:19:37,775
(laughing)
- oh. Well hey,
546
00:19:37,844 --> 00:19:39,977
I understand,
I love this stuff too.
547
00:19:40,046 --> 00:19:42,580
- Well, josie gave me
heads-up on a few pieces.
548
00:19:42,649 --> 00:19:44,715
That's my wife.
- Yeah.
549
00:19:44,783 --> 00:19:46,984
- And what I'd like to know is,
550
00:19:47,053 --> 00:19:49,987
How much you're willing to pay
so after you leave,
551
00:19:50,189 --> 00:19:52,924
I can tell her how much money
she left on the table.
552
00:19:53,126 --> 00:19:55,726
- I'd be willing to pay
like 2000 dollars for it.
553
00:19:55,928 --> 00:19:57,661
- Let me give her a call.
- Ooh yeah,
554
00:19:57,730 --> 00:19:59,263
Get her on the line!
(laughing)
555
00:19:59,331 --> 00:20:00,864
- Wow.
556
00:20:00,934 --> 00:20:02,799
- I'll put your name on it,
what the hell.
557
00:20:02,868 --> 00:20:05,269
- It's already on there,
look, "big boy".
558
00:20:05,338 --> 00:20:08,339
(laughing)
559
00:20:08,407 --> 00:20:08,806
- Alright.
560
00:20:09,008 --> 00:20:10,341
No, I'm just kidding.
561
00:20:10,409 --> 00:20:11,809
(laughing)
562
00:20:11,878 --> 00:20:14,478
- That's a good offer,
thank you, but...
563
00:20:14,546 --> 00:20:15,479
It's not for sale.
564
00:20:15,682 --> 00:20:17,014
- I got one other piece
565
00:20:17,083 --> 00:20:18,482
I got to ask you about then.
- Okay, alright, good.
566
00:20:18,550 --> 00:20:19,417
- The cigar humidor.
567
00:20:19,485 --> 00:20:21,485
- Oh man, yeah.
568
00:20:21,554 --> 00:20:23,487
- It's in great shape.
569
00:20:23,556 --> 00:20:24,955
- Do you smoke cigars?
570
00:20:25,024 --> 00:20:28,425
- Well, our town was
actually known for cigars.
571
00:20:28,494 --> 00:20:29,893
Believe it or not,
572
00:20:29,962 --> 00:20:32,964
We had 100 cigar manufacturers
in our town.
573
00:20:33,166 --> 00:20:35,499
The cool thing about this is
the humidor inside it.
574
00:20:35,568 --> 00:20:36,434
It's just crazy cool.
575
00:20:36,636 --> 00:20:37,702
- What's it say there?
576
00:20:37,770 --> 00:20:38,970
I can't read.
- It's moisture.
577
00:20:39,172 --> 00:20:41,839
This humidor would have sat
in a merchant's store,
578
00:20:41,907 --> 00:20:43,640
And would have sold
the cigar brand
579
00:20:43,709 --> 00:20:44,842
That was on the outside of it.
580
00:20:45,044 --> 00:20:47,044
You open the top up,
you always had to keep
581
00:20:47,113 --> 00:20:50,580
The sponge on the top moist
to keep the cigars fresh.
582
00:20:50,650 --> 00:20:51,849
I think it would clean up.
583
00:20:51,917 --> 00:20:54,852
- How much over 1000
are you thinking?
584
00:20:55,054 --> 00:20:56,520
- Huh, we're at 1000 already?
We're over 1000?
585
00:20:56,588 --> 00:20:57,722
- Well I was thinking,
586
00:20:57,790 --> 00:20:58,922
I mean, you know,
you got to...
587
00:20:58,992 --> 00:21:01,993
- You got to start somewhere.
I'm thinking 500.
588
00:21:03,329 --> 00:21:04,594
(sighs)
589
00:21:04,664 --> 00:21:05,730
- I was about to catch him,
590
00:21:05,798 --> 00:21:07,197
I thought he was going
to faint there for a second.
591
00:21:07,267 --> 00:21:07,999
- 750.
592
00:21:09,469 --> 00:21:11,001
- 600 bucks.
593
00:21:11,070 --> 00:21:13,671
- Hundred-dollar bills?
- Hundred-dollar bills.
594
00:21:13,873 --> 00:21:15,672
- Done.
- Alright. Thanks, buddy.
595
00:21:15,741 --> 00:21:17,474
- Dang!
- Talk about tough.
596
00:21:17,543 --> 00:21:19,010
- It's thick in here.
597
00:21:20,746 --> 00:21:22,546
- Now, don't make a mess now.
598
00:21:22,614 --> 00:21:23,547
- We'll put it all back.
599
00:21:23,750 --> 00:21:25,749
This is a true barn find.
600
00:21:25,818 --> 00:21:27,418
To see a shelby covered
with dirt,
601
00:21:27,620 --> 00:21:29,086
Raccoon poop, junk.
602
00:21:29,155 --> 00:21:31,489
We're going to uncover
this thing for the first time.
603
00:21:31,557 --> 00:21:32,556
It's pretty crazy.
604
00:21:32,625 --> 00:21:33,757
Tink, when was the last time
605
00:21:33,826 --> 00:21:34,825
You seen the back end
of this thing?
606
00:21:34,893 --> 00:21:37,161
- A long time.
- It's been a long time?
607
00:21:37,363 --> 00:21:38,095
Dang.
608
00:21:38,297 --> 00:21:39,496
Look at the back end
of that thing, dude.
609
00:21:39,565 --> 00:21:40,831
(whistles, sucks teeth)
610
00:21:40,900 --> 00:21:43,701
- That's pretty sexy.
A sexy beast, man.
611
00:21:43,903 --> 00:21:44,835
- These are the taillights
for it?
612
00:21:44,903 --> 00:21:45,903
- We got the taillights.
- Here we go.
613
00:21:45,972 --> 00:21:48,639
Jersey jon, what,
you're putting it together?
614
00:21:48,841 --> 00:21:50,975
- Yeah.
- I got to get my phone.
615
00:21:51,043 --> 00:21:51,708
I got a really good friend,
you guys familiar
616
00:21:51,777 --> 00:21:52,976
With the super snake?
- Yeah.
617
00:21:53,046 --> 00:21:55,046
- My buddy's the one
that owned the super snake.
618
00:21:55,248 --> 00:21:57,448
Can I send him pictures of this?
- Do what you want to do.
619
00:21:57,650 --> 00:21:58,716
- His name is richard.
620
00:21:58,785 --> 00:22:00,650
He's really
a knowledgeable dude.
621
00:22:00,720 --> 00:22:01,451
He's amazing.
(parts clanking)
622
00:22:01,520 --> 00:22:02,987
Put that in, jersey.
623
00:22:03,723 --> 00:22:05,523
My god, it's so damn cool, man.
624
00:22:05,591 --> 00:22:06,390
- It's a neat old car.
625
00:22:06,592 --> 00:22:07,725
- It's so damn cool!
626
00:22:07,927 --> 00:22:10,194
I'm going to get
a picture of the tag.
627
00:22:10,929 --> 00:22:12,329
I'm going to get
a picture of this. Woo.
628
00:22:12,398 --> 00:22:13,531
(laughing)
629
00:22:13,599 --> 00:22:15,933
- Yeah, dude. What's up?
630
00:22:16,001 --> 00:22:17,467
When was the last time
you sat in a shelby?
631
00:22:17,536 --> 00:22:19,804
- Woo! Never. Tink.
632
00:22:19,872 --> 00:22:21,339
When's the last time
you sat in this?
633
00:22:21,541 --> 00:22:22,339
- Been a while.
634
00:22:22,408 --> 00:22:24,542
(laughing)
635
00:22:24,744 --> 00:22:26,744
- Oh my god, this is crazy.
636
00:22:26,813 --> 00:22:28,012
- Crank the window.
Does it crank?
637
00:22:28,481 --> 00:22:29,880
Yeah, it does.
638
00:22:30,082 --> 00:22:32,282
- That just went up
another 10,000 dollars.
639
00:22:32,351 --> 00:22:33,818
(laughing)
640
00:22:33,886 --> 00:22:35,553
- Take 10 grand off.
- Listen to that.
641
00:22:35,621 --> 00:22:36,554
- I know. Look at that.
642
00:22:36,756 --> 00:22:37,555
- Look at the body line, cool.
643
00:22:37,623 --> 00:22:38,889
- It's unbelievable, man.
644
00:22:38,957 --> 00:22:40,824
- There's basically
no rust on this car.
645
00:22:40,893 --> 00:22:42,559
- You're right,
there's not much rust
646
00:22:42,628 --> 00:22:44,027
On this thing at all, man.
647
00:22:44,096 --> 00:22:46,497
- I mean, it's been out
of the weather since 1983.
648
00:22:46,565 --> 00:22:49,032
- Unbelievable, man.
649
00:22:49,102 --> 00:22:51,101
- We're lucky that it doesn't
hardly have any rust.
650
00:22:51,170 --> 00:22:53,971
A lot of cars that old,
the bottoms are rotted out,
651
00:22:54,040 --> 00:22:56,774
So we're fortunate
to have one that's solid.
652
00:22:56,842 --> 00:22:59,043
- So I sent pictures
to richard.
653
00:22:59,111 --> 00:23:00,845
I don't know when he's going
to get back with us.
654
00:23:01,047 --> 00:23:03,246
Do you have anything else
in the house or...
655
00:23:03,315 --> 00:23:04,315
- Yes.
656
00:23:04,517 --> 00:23:05,850
- Let's check it out.
- Alright, show me the way, man.
657
00:23:05,918 --> 00:23:08,652
- Hey dillon.
Think I found some stuff.
658
00:23:08,721 --> 00:23:10,654
- Check out these chairs.
- Uh-uh.
659
00:23:10,722 --> 00:23:12,389
- Like ice cream parlour chairs.
660
00:23:12,458 --> 00:23:13,857
Look at that.
661
00:23:13,926 --> 00:23:15,659
This is a really great
old hankie pattern.
662
00:23:15,862 --> 00:23:17,528
My mom always called
these chairs
663
00:23:17,730 --> 00:23:18,995
Ice cream parlour chairs.
664
00:23:19,064 --> 00:23:20,464
That handkerchief pattern
adds a nice little
665
00:23:20,666 --> 00:23:22,800
Western element to it.
666
00:23:22,868 --> 00:23:26,069
- These chairs came
from a small bar
667
00:23:26,138 --> 00:23:28,539
In a small town in new mexico
called the cuchillo bar.
668
00:23:28,608 --> 00:23:31,808
And in fact, me and my dad
669
00:23:31,877 --> 00:23:34,945
Have both picked
that bar over the years.
670
00:23:35,014 --> 00:23:36,881
- Are you talking about josh,
over at cuchillo?
671
00:23:37,083 --> 00:23:38,816
- Yeah, josh!
- Dude! We picked that place!
672
00:23:38,885 --> 00:23:41,552
- No...
- Yeah, we picked that place.
673
00:23:41,754 --> 00:23:42,820
It's just such a small world.
674
00:23:42,888 --> 00:23:45,222
- Ah, this place is killer, man.
- Yes!
675
00:23:45,290 --> 00:23:47,557
- What's this? You know what?
This might have some juju in it.
676
00:23:47,626 --> 00:23:48,993
- I would imagine it does.
677
00:23:50,496 --> 00:23:51,629
- The feels I got
678
00:23:51,697 --> 00:23:54,097
When we visited cuchillo.
679
00:23:54,166 --> 00:23:56,967
I mean, that bar had almost
burnt completely down.
680
00:23:57,036 --> 00:23:59,636
To be able to salvage
anything from a place
681
00:23:59,705 --> 00:24:01,305
With such a turbulent history
682
00:24:01,507 --> 00:24:02,706
Is incredible.
683
00:24:02,775 --> 00:24:04,708
So these were in the bar?
- Uh-huh.
684
00:24:04,777 --> 00:24:05,576
- These were
in the cuchillo bar?
685
00:24:05,778 --> 00:24:07,711
What are you thinking for these?
686
00:24:07,780 --> 00:24:08,912
You want to sell
all four of them?
687
00:24:08,981 --> 00:24:11,982
- You can have all 4 chairs
for 200 bucks.
688
00:24:14,119 --> 00:24:14,919
You're going to look good
eating ice cream in these.
689
00:24:15,121 --> 00:24:17,454
- They all look just handmade,
pretty much.
690
00:24:17,523 --> 00:24:18,255
- Yeah, absolutely.
691
00:24:18,457 --> 00:24:20,991
- Um... 175.
692
00:24:23,596 --> 00:24:25,462
- You got a deal.
(laughs)
693
00:24:25,531 --> 00:24:26,997
- I love this. Yes!
694
00:24:27,065 --> 00:24:28,732
- I'll even help you load them
if you need me.
695
00:24:28,801 --> 00:24:30,934
- Oh... What a happy
hankie bunch.
696
00:24:31,003 --> 00:24:33,003
That's going to be
a beautiful set of chairs.
697
00:24:39,678 --> 00:24:41,879
- Hey dillon!
- Hey-hey!
698
00:24:42,081 --> 00:24:43,881
- I got something over here.
- Oh my gosh...
699
00:24:44,083 --> 00:24:46,817
- Look at all this chalkware.
- Oh my gosh.
700
00:24:47,019 --> 00:24:48,953
- Now that does sell
real good in the shop.
701
00:24:49,155 --> 00:24:51,421
Chalkware was really popular
along the midway.
702
00:24:51,491 --> 00:24:53,156
Like 1930s, '40s.
703
00:24:53,226 --> 00:24:56,493
You would go to a carnival
and that would be the top prize.
704
00:24:56,562 --> 00:24:58,095
A piece of chalkware.
705
00:24:58,163 --> 00:25:00,898
Now chalkware was called
the poor man's porcelain.
706
00:25:00,966 --> 00:25:02,499
You could get
a beautiful sculpture,
707
00:25:02,568 --> 00:25:03,900
But it was affordable.
708
00:25:03,969 --> 00:25:06,704
- I love the chalked dolls
and what I like
709
00:25:06,906 --> 00:25:08,772
Is the one you have
your hand on.
710
00:25:08,841 --> 00:25:11,642
I love women
and I love cheesecakes.
711
00:25:11,844 --> 00:25:13,510
- Yeah.
- Well, they're the most
712
00:25:13,579 --> 00:25:14,778
Valuable of all of them.
713
00:25:14,846 --> 00:25:17,647
Cheesecake is
an old pin-up term
714
00:25:17,716 --> 00:25:19,850
From the generation before me.
715
00:25:19,919 --> 00:25:22,052
And what it means is
show a little leg,
716
00:25:22,254 --> 00:25:24,854
Show the gown off the shoulder.
Do a little cheesecake.
717
00:25:24,924 --> 00:25:27,324
- So are you even interested
in selling?
718
00:25:27,392 --> 00:25:29,860
- I am, but they're
just different prices,
of course, you know.
719
00:25:29,928 --> 00:25:32,663
- Sure, of course.
What about this one?
720
00:25:32,732 --> 00:25:34,865
She's a burlesque girl.
- 35.
721
00:25:35,067 --> 00:25:37,400
- And what about this one?
She's a hula girl.
722
00:25:37,469 --> 00:25:38,802
- 25.
- 25.
723
00:25:38,870 --> 00:25:40,471
Yeah, I'll take both
of these then.
724
00:25:40,673 --> 00:25:41,872
- You've got great taste.
725
00:25:41,941 --> 00:25:44,008
- Dig it. You got great taste.
- Thank you.
726
00:25:44,543 --> 00:25:46,810
(upbeat music)
727
00:25:46,878 --> 00:25:48,746
- So what's going on
with this place?
728
00:25:48,948 --> 00:25:49,946
- This an old
sharecropper's house.
729
00:25:50,015 --> 00:25:52,749
It was probably utilized
in the '40s and '50s.
730
00:25:52,818 --> 00:25:55,753
And it's pretty much
been abandoned
731
00:25:55,821 --> 00:25:57,087
And a store room
for a lot of junk.
732
00:25:57,155 --> 00:26:00,758
Be careful walking in there,
it's not the most stable.
733
00:26:00,960 --> 00:26:03,160
- That's alright.
- I hear ya. Alright.
734
00:26:03,362 --> 00:26:04,061
- Woo.
735
00:26:04,630 --> 00:26:05,762
Ah, this is cool, mike.
736
00:26:05,831 --> 00:26:07,898
- This was a
116-acre berry farm,
737
00:26:07,967 --> 00:26:11,101
But they actually let
some sharecroppers
738
00:26:11,169 --> 00:26:13,436
Own the property to
farm corn, cotton, whatever.
739
00:26:14,173 --> 00:26:17,574
But that was probably in
the '40s or '50s back then.
740
00:26:17,643 --> 00:26:19,577
And it's pretty primitive.
741
00:26:19,779 --> 00:26:21,178
- Whoa...
- Watch for nails.
742
00:26:21,380 --> 00:26:23,113
- Yep.
743
00:26:23,182 --> 00:26:25,115
It's pretty amazing to see
this sharecropper's house,
744
00:26:25,184 --> 00:26:28,652
The floors are caved in,
everything's dirty and dusty,
745
00:26:28,721 --> 00:26:29,920
But the furniture's all there.
746
00:26:29,989 --> 00:26:32,656
Everything is there
as they lived, almost.
747
00:26:32,725 --> 00:26:34,992
It's a moment frozen in time.
748
00:26:35,861 --> 00:26:37,528
- Here's some old overalls,
jersey.
749
00:26:37,596 --> 00:26:39,262
- Yeah?
- Big ace.
750
00:26:39,332 --> 00:26:40,197
- Big ace.
751
00:26:40,265 --> 00:26:41,599
- If you're into
vintage clothing,
752
00:26:41,801 --> 00:26:44,067
Especially workwear and denim,
753
00:26:44,136 --> 00:26:47,137
All the good pieces
you hear about have been found
754
00:26:47,206 --> 00:26:50,941
In mine shafts, log cabins,
in walls of old buildings.
755
00:26:51,143 --> 00:26:53,077
You know, people would
use them for insulation.
756
00:26:53,279 --> 00:26:56,012
This is nothing in great
condition, nothing big money,
757
00:26:56,081 --> 00:26:59,549
But believe it or not,
this stuff has value.
758
00:26:59,619 --> 00:27:01,418
Another pair, or same pair.
759
00:27:01,487 --> 00:27:02,987
Then you got these.
760
00:27:03,488 --> 00:27:04,888
These are 1960s.
761
00:27:04,957 --> 00:27:07,424
This brand was made
in nashville, duckhead.
762
00:27:07,493 --> 00:27:08,425
- These are ladies.
763
00:27:08,627 --> 00:27:10,360
- I saw that, they got
the zipper on the side.
764
00:27:10,429 --> 00:27:11,561
- This is cool.
765
00:27:11,631 --> 00:27:14,231
- And is it cool if I dump
this stuff out of these boxes?
766
00:27:14,300 --> 00:27:15,099
- Sure.
767
00:27:15,301 --> 00:27:16,767
- It's just a bunch
of wire and stuff.
768
00:27:16,836 --> 00:27:18,635
Would you sell these boxes?
- Sure.
769
00:27:18,704 --> 00:27:20,904
- These boxes are unusual,
770
00:27:20,972 --> 00:27:22,906
They've got stenciling
on the outside.
771
00:27:22,975 --> 00:27:25,508
And they feel like kind of
a heavy masonite
772
00:27:25,577 --> 00:27:26,643
With a metal frame.
773
00:27:26,712 --> 00:27:28,912
This is something that's unique,
774
00:27:28,980 --> 00:27:30,647
That people can store
something in.
775
00:27:30,716 --> 00:27:32,716
You've got one, two, three,
776
00:27:32,785 --> 00:27:33,984
What's the one over
there I saw?
777
00:27:34,052 --> 00:27:36,720
Is it upside down,
is it the same thing or no?
778
00:27:36,789 --> 00:27:38,455
- Yep.
- So you got four of them.
779
00:27:38,524 --> 00:27:39,990
40 bucks. 10 apiece.
780
00:27:41,460 --> 00:27:42,192
- How about 50?
781
00:27:42,861 --> 00:27:45,929
- Done. So 50 bucks
for the boxes.
782
00:27:45,998 --> 00:27:47,998
On the denim, you got
two pair of overalls,
783
00:27:48,067 --> 00:27:51,201
They're pretty ripped up.
These are in decent shape.
784
00:27:51,270 --> 00:27:52,002
Uh...
785
00:27:53,338 --> 00:27:54,004
60 bucks.
786
00:27:54,673 --> 00:27:56,540
- Fair enough.
- Okay.
787
00:27:56,609 --> 00:27:57,141
- Sure.
- Alright, good.
788
00:27:57,343 --> 00:27:58,609
Woo!
789
00:27:58,811 --> 00:27:59,609
- Yeah.
- Alright, alright.
790
00:27:59,679 --> 00:28:01,011
- It's getting dusty in here.
791
00:28:04,550 --> 00:28:05,983
(rhythmic music)
792
00:28:06,885 --> 00:28:08,986
- Hey, I wanted
to ask about this.
793
00:28:09,822 --> 00:28:10,554
How about this flame
that came off
794
00:28:10,623 --> 00:28:12,222
A standard sign right here?
795
00:28:12,291 --> 00:28:14,758
- Why'd you pick
the most valuable thing
in the room almost?
796
00:28:14,827 --> 00:28:16,893
Hey pops!
He's looking at the flame.
797
00:28:16,962 --> 00:28:19,763
- You know, robbie,
you got good taste, man.
798
00:28:19,832 --> 00:28:22,766
- This came off a standard sign.
- Yes.
799
00:28:22,968 --> 00:28:24,768
- Standard gasoline
used the flame
800
00:28:24,970 --> 00:28:26,703
To always look
like it was burning.
801
00:28:26,772 --> 00:28:27,837
This piece is not a gas globe,
802
00:28:27,906 --> 00:28:29,906
It actually went
on top of the sign.
803
00:28:29,975 --> 00:28:32,976
The flame top was lit,
it was flickering,
804
00:28:33,044 --> 00:28:34,845
That means the service
station was open.
805
00:28:34,913 --> 00:28:36,914
You know, 90 % of these
are broken.
806
00:28:37,116 --> 00:28:38,916
Because the guys put them
on top of their signs,
807
00:28:39,118 --> 00:28:41,184
And then kids came by
and threw a rock at it.
808
00:28:41,253 --> 00:28:44,521
These flame tops have become
rarer and rarer over the years.
809
00:28:44,590 --> 00:28:46,456
These didn't survive.
810
00:28:46,525 --> 00:28:47,458
It's got no cracks.
811
00:28:47,660 --> 00:28:49,058
Paint's a little worn,
812
00:28:49,128 --> 00:28:51,461
But it's got the original
flange on the bottom.
813
00:28:51,530 --> 00:28:52,663
This thing is gold.
814
00:28:52,865 --> 00:28:56,266
Is this... Lovely jewel
for sale?
815
00:28:56,468 --> 00:28:57,600
- Well, yes.
816
00:28:57,669 --> 00:28:58,735
- What's the selling price?
817
00:28:58,804 --> 00:28:59,402
- How much over
two grand are you?
818
00:28:59,472 --> 00:29:02,005
- Two grand! Oh...
819
00:29:03,409 --> 00:29:04,608
- 1250.
820
00:29:04,676 --> 00:29:06,009
That's what I want for it.
821
00:29:06,411 --> 00:29:07,344
(sighs)
822
00:29:08,080 --> 00:29:09,946
You can think about it
and let me know later.
823
00:29:10,015 --> 00:29:13,283
The flame is rare
and it's one of my favourites.
824
00:29:13,352 --> 00:29:15,552
It's iconic.
825
00:29:15,620 --> 00:29:15,986
- I'll take it for 1,250.
826
00:29:17,690 --> 00:29:18,622
Appreciate you. Thank you.
827
00:29:18,690 --> 00:29:19,957
- I'm glad robbie liked it.
828
00:29:20,025 --> 00:29:22,492
He knows his stuff.
It's a great piece.
829
00:29:22,895 --> 00:29:25,095
I want to take you
to the masonic next.
830
00:29:25,297 --> 00:29:28,432
I got a bunch of stuff that
I want to show you over there.
831
00:29:28,634 --> 00:29:30,567
- What the heck is this?
832
00:29:30,769 --> 00:29:32,969
- That's the phillips 66 man.
833
00:29:33,038 --> 00:29:35,772
- That's the biggest one
they made, right there.
834
00:29:35,841 --> 00:29:37,174
That's the american giant,
isn't it?
835
00:29:37,242 --> 00:29:39,977
One of the most iconic things
across the united states
836
00:29:40,045 --> 00:29:42,646
And on route 66 were
the american giants,
837
00:29:42,715 --> 00:29:45,916
From paul bunyan to uncle sam.
838
00:29:46,118 --> 00:29:47,584
They stood out in front
of service stations.
839
00:29:47,653 --> 00:29:49,786
Wow. He's a big one, isn't he?
840
00:29:49,855 --> 00:29:51,588
- Yeah he is.
- He's friggin' huge.
841
00:29:51,657 --> 00:29:53,857
They're like 25, 27 feet tall.
842
00:29:53,926 --> 00:29:56,126
They call giants like this
muffler men.
843
00:29:56,194 --> 00:29:59,128
But they could have been used
for any advertising.
844
00:29:59,198 --> 00:30:02,132
In the '50s and '60s,
these things were very popular.
845
00:30:02,201 --> 00:30:04,601
You still see them scattered
around the united states.
846
00:30:04,803 --> 00:30:07,871
But they're broken, sunbaked.
847
00:30:07,939 --> 00:30:09,672
The fact that this one's
still here,
848
00:30:09,741 --> 00:30:10,941
No cracks on it, is a miracle.
849
00:30:11,010 --> 00:30:14,344
- I've probably owned him
for at least 20 years.
850
00:30:14,546 --> 00:30:15,545
That muffler man,
851
00:30:15,614 --> 00:30:17,214
I bought in cincinnati
852
00:30:17,283 --> 00:30:20,550
And loaded him up. He came from
the western heritage museum.
853
00:30:20,619 --> 00:30:21,552
They had no room for him.
854
00:30:21,754 --> 00:30:23,820
See, we used to sell rvs here.
855
00:30:23,889 --> 00:30:26,690
That's why he has
an old winnebago toy rv.
856
00:30:26,758 --> 00:30:28,758
- Pops, remember
when we got him,
857
00:30:28,827 --> 00:30:29,959
Didn't he have
a rifle in his hand?
858
00:30:30,028 --> 00:30:31,361
- Yeah, he had a rifle,
it's still at the house.
859
00:30:31,430 --> 00:30:32,696
That's his hat.
860
00:30:32,765 --> 00:30:34,764
- Oh it's...
You guys mounted it.
861
00:30:34,833 --> 00:30:35,632
Yeah, but it would
be on his head.
862
00:30:35,701 --> 00:30:38,568
- Right, but it's so windy here
863
00:30:38,637 --> 00:30:39,703
That if you put the hat on,
864
00:30:39,905 --> 00:30:40,503
It just tears
the whole head off.
865
00:30:40,572 --> 00:30:41,704
So I just...
- Hoh!
866
00:30:41,773 --> 00:30:43,706
- ...Kept the hat
on the ground.
867
00:30:43,775 --> 00:30:44,975
- My dad bought
the muffler man.
868
00:30:45,044 --> 00:30:48,312
It was around the recession,
around 2008, right?
869
00:30:48,380 --> 00:30:49,779
- 2008.
870
00:30:49,849 --> 00:30:51,648
- Because I remember
financial duress.
871
00:30:51,717 --> 00:30:54,851
Like, everything is going south
872
00:30:54,920 --> 00:30:56,786
And he bought this giant,
which at the time,
873
00:30:56,855 --> 00:30:59,055
I thought was
the craziest purchase.
874
00:30:59,124 --> 00:31:01,658
Like, I remember thinking
it was a lot of money then.
875
00:31:01,726 --> 00:31:02,526
But whenever you put the giant
876
00:31:02,728 --> 00:31:04,795
In front of this business...
877
00:31:04,997 --> 00:31:06,863
- It made the money.
- Your life changes.
878
00:31:06,932 --> 00:31:09,600
And that's the last time
I ever questioned
879
00:31:09,802 --> 00:31:12,402
Anything he ever bought.
- Ha!
880
00:31:12,471 --> 00:31:13,003
- Is he for sale?
881
00:31:14,073 --> 00:31:16,473
- God, robbie, I just don't
want to sell it.
882
00:31:16,542 --> 00:31:18,408
- Ah...
(laughing)
883
00:31:18,610 --> 00:31:20,543
- Damn it.
- Man...
884
00:31:20,612 --> 00:31:22,145
- I'm just sentimental.
885
00:31:22,214 --> 00:31:24,681
I just wouldn't have felt good
seeing that spot empty.
886
00:31:24,883 --> 00:31:25,349
- If you don't
want to sell it...
887
00:31:25,551 --> 00:31:26,550
- It's so cool!
888
00:31:26,752 --> 00:31:28,618
- ...We don't want to take it.
889
00:31:28,687 --> 00:31:29,752
- I'm glad I didn't sell it.
890
00:31:29,821 --> 00:31:31,888
It would have taken something
away from the town.
891
00:31:31,957 --> 00:31:33,756
This is the building
I wanted to show you.
892
00:31:33,825 --> 00:31:36,693
We bought this over
20 years ago.
893
00:31:36,762 --> 00:31:38,295
- Yeah?
- It's an old masonic.
894
00:31:38,497 --> 00:31:39,296
And I sold it.
895
00:31:39,364 --> 00:31:41,497
They're going
to move in may 1st. So...
896
00:31:41,566 --> 00:31:42,766
- You got to get it out.
897
00:31:42,835 --> 00:31:44,834
- I just don't want
to move it again.
898
00:31:44,903 --> 00:31:46,903
Follow me, I want
to show you something
899
00:31:46,972 --> 00:31:48,304
That I think is incredible.
Come on in.
900
00:31:48,373 --> 00:31:49,006
- Alright.
901
00:31:53,912 --> 00:31:54,844
- What about this piece
right here?
902
00:31:54,913 --> 00:31:56,380
Looks like an old bench
or something.
903
00:31:56,448 --> 00:31:57,247
- It's cool.
904
00:31:57,449 --> 00:31:59,583
I see this cast iron
seat for a bench.
905
00:31:59,651 --> 00:32:00,850
It pivots around a corner.
906
00:32:00,919 --> 00:32:02,586
So you could tuck it in,
so you go around
907
00:32:02,788 --> 00:32:04,587
Your workbench when you need to.
908
00:32:04,656 --> 00:32:05,322
They're really rare to find.
909
00:32:05,391 --> 00:32:06,857
It's not broken.
910
00:32:07,059 --> 00:32:08,725
They're actually reproducing
these things now.
911
00:32:08,927 --> 00:32:11,528
- 50 dollars.
- Nah, 30 bucks, dude.
912
00:32:11,730 --> 00:32:13,596
- 35.
- You got it, bro.
913
00:32:13,666 --> 00:32:14,531
- Alright.
- I'll take it.
914
00:32:14,599 --> 00:32:15,598
- Good deal.
- That's cool, thank you.
915
00:32:15,668 --> 00:32:16,933
I'll put this in my woodshop.
916
00:32:17,002 --> 00:32:18,201
- I didn't know we had it.
- Thank you, sir.
917
00:32:18,404 --> 00:32:19,402
- Uh-huh.
918
00:32:19,471 --> 00:32:21,004
(phone ringing)
919
00:32:23,408 --> 00:32:23,941
- Richard!
920
00:32:24,143 --> 00:32:25,075
Let me... Call you right back.
921
00:32:25,143 --> 00:32:26,877
I'm trying to get this stuff
out of this cabin.
922
00:32:27,079 --> 00:32:29,346
Richard called, I want to go
down by that car.
923
00:32:29,414 --> 00:32:30,013
- Alright.
924
00:32:34,486 --> 00:32:37,220
(phone ringing)
925
00:32:37,289 --> 00:32:38,221
- Hello.
926
00:32:38,290 --> 00:32:40,824
- Richard, I take it
you got the photos, man.
927
00:32:40,892 --> 00:32:41,992
- Yes I did.
You weren't kidding.
928
00:32:45,164 --> 00:32:48,365
- I thought you'd freak out
when you got those pictures.
929
00:32:48,567 --> 00:32:49,900
- Yeah.
(laughs)
930
00:32:49,968 --> 00:32:51,001
- Okay. So, what do
you think, richard?
931
00:32:57,910 --> 00:33:00,010
It is. There's no rust
there, man.
932
00:33:04,983 --> 00:33:06,382
- Did you get the shots
of the interior?
933
00:33:06,785 --> 00:33:08,385
- Yes, well that's...
(laughs)
934
00:33:08,587 --> 00:33:09,519
...Another thing.
935
00:33:09,587 --> 00:33:10,988
Yeah.
(laughing)
936
00:33:20,132 --> 00:33:22,732
- Yeah, they've got some parts
that they've accumulated.
937
00:33:22,801 --> 00:33:25,001
What is it missing
besides the hood?
938
00:33:25,070 --> 00:33:26,803
- The hood and the major thing
that it's missing
939
00:33:26,872 --> 00:33:29,606
Is the inertial reels
on the roll bar.
940
00:33:29,808 --> 00:33:31,941
Somebody stole those years ago.
941
00:33:32,011 --> 00:33:34,011
But basically everything
for the interior's there.
942
00:33:45,157 --> 00:33:48,091
- What do you think it would
cost to restore this car
943
00:33:48,160 --> 00:33:50,994
To where it should be, to bring
the money that it should?
944
00:33:51,563 --> 00:33:52,996
(suspenseful music)
945
00:33:56,368 --> 00:33:57,000
Okay.
946
00:34:03,041 --> 00:34:04,708
But are you talking
a couple hundred grand
947
00:34:04,910 --> 00:34:05,575
If it was a numbers
matching car,
948
00:34:05,643 --> 00:34:08,044
'cause they have a 428,
949
00:34:08,113 --> 00:34:11,014
But it's not a numbers
matching engine to the car.
950
00:34:23,328 --> 00:34:25,462
- That's what I was thinking.
I was thinking joe dirt special.
951
00:34:25,531 --> 00:34:25,996
(chuckles)
- yeah.
952
00:34:31,470 --> 00:34:33,003
- Drivable.
953
00:34:34,072 --> 00:34:35,806
- Alright, richard. Well,
these guys have had
954
00:34:36,008 --> 00:34:38,875
An offer on this car
before for 75 grand.
955
00:34:39,077 --> 00:34:41,811
Two or three weeks ago,
somebody was at 75k
956
00:34:41,880 --> 00:34:43,412
And the guy prior to that
was at 75k.
957
00:34:43,482 --> 00:34:46,015
So that seems to be
the number where people
need to land to even...
958
00:34:46,085 --> 00:34:48,985
- Make it worthwhile.
- Yeah, start massaging it.
959
00:34:56,762 --> 00:34:57,994
(laughing)
- joe dirt special, man.
960
00:35:01,300 --> 00:35:01,998
- Yeah.
961
00:35:02,568 --> 00:35:03,766
Alright, buddy.
962
00:35:03,836 --> 00:35:05,902
Well, we appreciate
your knowledge.
963
00:35:05,971 --> 00:35:07,003
And we appreciate you
getting back with us.
964
00:35:09,107 --> 00:35:10,239
- Thank you, richard.
- Alright, talk to you soon.
965
00:35:10,308 --> 00:35:12,008
Bye-bye.
966
00:35:12,844 --> 00:35:15,045
- That seems to be
the number, 75k.
967
00:35:15,247 --> 00:35:17,180
And that's the number you guys
have turned down twice.
968
00:35:17,382 --> 00:35:18,848
- Yes.
969
00:35:18,917 --> 00:35:20,717
But let us think about it
a little while.
970
00:35:20,786 --> 00:35:23,053
If you don't mind.
- No, I get it.
971
00:35:23,255 --> 00:35:24,921
I mean, you know, you guys
have a relationship with this.
972
00:35:24,990 --> 00:35:26,723
It's been in your family
for a very long time.
973
00:35:26,792 --> 00:35:27,657
- It's like a family
heirloom now.
974
00:35:27,725 --> 00:35:28,925
It's been around long enough.
975
00:35:28,994 --> 00:35:31,995
- The number I had
in my head was 75 grand.
976
00:35:32,197 --> 00:35:35,064
But they've already passed
on that number twice.
977
00:35:35,133 --> 00:35:37,867
It kills me to walk away
from something like this.
978
00:35:37,936 --> 00:35:41,004
As rare as it is,
as cool as it is,
979
00:35:41,072 --> 00:35:43,006
But after talking to richard
on the phone,
980
00:35:43,074 --> 00:35:46,676
Him doing the math,
none of it makes sense.
981
00:35:46,745 --> 00:35:47,743
Yeah. I mean, we appreciate you
982
00:35:47,812 --> 00:35:49,613
Letting us take
everything off it
983
00:35:49,815 --> 00:35:50,880
To where you can
actually see it.
984
00:35:50,949 --> 00:35:52,749
'cause it is pretty
unbelievable, man.
985
00:35:52,817 --> 00:35:55,151
- I'm glad to see
it again myself.
986
00:35:55,220 --> 00:35:57,153
- Alright, let's help load
some of this stuff back on here.
987
00:35:57,222 --> 00:36:01,024
- Might sound crazy turning down
an offer for a 75,000 dollar car
988
00:36:01,092 --> 00:36:03,894
That's been sitting there
basically 35 or 40 years.
989
00:36:04,096 --> 00:36:06,763
But you know,
it's a big decision to make.
990
00:36:06,831 --> 00:36:08,765
So I understand people
would say,
991
00:36:08,833 --> 00:36:09,900
"hey, this guy is
a total idiot."
992
00:36:10,102 --> 00:36:13,003
But you know, the love
for the rare cars...
993
00:36:13,572 --> 00:36:15,572
- ...Great feeling.
994
00:36:15,640 --> 00:36:16,573
- Man, I tell you what.
995
00:36:16,775 --> 00:36:19,910
I very much appreciate you guys.
996
00:36:20,112 --> 00:36:23,713
This day has turned out
completely opposite
997
00:36:23,781 --> 00:36:26,115
From what I ever could imagine.
998
00:36:26,185 --> 00:36:29,919
We go to buy a neon sign,
and then jersey jon and I
999
00:36:29,988 --> 00:36:32,455
Are looking at
a shelby gt500 in a barn.
1000
00:36:32,658 --> 00:36:34,724
It's been an epic day.
1001
00:36:34,926 --> 00:36:36,326
- Y'all have a safe trip.
- Thank you.
1002
00:36:36,528 --> 00:36:37,526
- See you guys.
1003
00:36:37,596 --> 00:36:39,862
- I truly believe there's
a reason for everything,
1004
00:36:39,932 --> 00:36:42,465
And maybe the reason
we were here today
1005
00:36:42,668 --> 00:36:44,868
Was to uncover the car
1006
00:36:45,070 --> 00:36:47,136
And let them fall in love
with it again.
1007
00:36:47,205 --> 00:36:50,940
Maybe now, they'll take this car
across the finish line,
1008
00:36:51,009 --> 00:36:53,676
And give it the life
it deserves again.
1009
00:36:53,745 --> 00:36:56,346
(honks horn)
- shelby gt500!
1010
00:36:56,548 --> 00:36:57,013
- Yes!
- Woo!
1011
00:37:02,754 --> 00:37:03,753
- Follow me, I want to show you
1012
00:37:03,822 --> 00:37:05,554
Something that
I think is incredible.
1013
00:37:05,624 --> 00:37:07,156
Come on in.
- Alright.
1014
00:37:07,225 --> 00:37:09,825
- Everyone always asks us,
"where do you find this stuff?"
1015
00:37:09,894 --> 00:37:11,428
- We don't go
into antique shops.
1016
00:37:11,630 --> 00:37:13,697
We can smell stuff.
1017
00:37:13,899 --> 00:37:15,098
I just have a good feeling
and boom,
1018
00:37:15,166 --> 00:37:18,568
It just starts unfolding.
It's rare and it's cool.
1019
00:37:18,636 --> 00:37:22,572
We got 100,000 postcards.
1020
00:37:22,640 --> 00:37:24,373
- Wow.
- New-old stock.
1021
00:37:24,442 --> 00:37:25,175
Never been used.
1022
00:37:25,377 --> 00:37:26,976
- Ah!
1023
00:37:27,045 --> 00:37:29,579
- I bought the entire
estate of dude larsen.
1024
00:37:29,781 --> 00:37:31,848
He was a famous western painter.
1025
00:37:32,050 --> 00:37:34,784
Back in the late '30s,
all through the '40s
1026
00:37:34,853 --> 00:37:36,853
And the early '50s,
dude eventually
1027
00:37:36,922 --> 00:37:39,789
Became a senator,
he became an entrepreneur.
1028
00:37:39,857 --> 00:37:41,724
He self-published
his own postcards.
1029
00:37:41,793 --> 00:37:43,994
He did a lot
of different things.
1030
00:37:55,006 --> 00:37:57,740
But here's the thing.
Everybody has postcards.
1031
00:37:57,809 --> 00:38:00,943
Nobody has
the original painting.
1032
00:38:01,012 --> 00:38:03,880
Like here, I have a lot
of these postcards.
1033
00:38:04,082 --> 00:38:06,016
- And this is the original
that goes with it?
1034
00:38:06,218 --> 00:38:08,551
- There's only one painting.
I have 10 or 12 paintings
1035
00:38:08,754 --> 00:38:10,754
That correspond to postcards.
1036
00:38:10,822 --> 00:38:13,022
And I've got
45 original drawings
1037
00:38:13,091 --> 00:38:15,558
From hoke denetsosie,
who was a native american.
1038
00:38:15,626 --> 00:38:17,961
Dude larsen was his boss.
1039
00:38:18,029 --> 00:38:20,830
And this whole room
is covered with hoke's.
1040
00:38:21,032 --> 00:38:22,832
He's the one that did
all the comic cards.
1041
00:38:22,901 --> 00:38:24,567
These were my favourites
when I was a kid,
1042
00:38:24,770 --> 00:38:25,702
And they're my favourites now.
1043
00:38:25,771 --> 00:38:28,104
- And they're all
signed by hoke.
1044
00:38:28,172 --> 00:38:30,106
- It's easy to forget about
the original artwork
1045
00:38:30,174 --> 00:38:33,642
That was behind all these
mass-produced images.
1046
00:38:33,712 --> 00:38:35,644
Whether it was advertising,
1047
00:38:35,714 --> 00:38:37,914
Packaging, magazine covers,
1048
00:38:38,116 --> 00:38:40,850
Somebody had to produce
that drawing first.
1049
00:38:41,052 --> 00:38:43,519
To see the magnitude
of what he has here
1050
00:38:43,588 --> 00:38:45,789
Is absolutely amazing.
1051
00:38:45,991 --> 00:38:48,925
These postcards,
they're all westerns.
1052
00:38:48,994 --> 00:38:50,927
And the fact that he has
the original artwork
1053
00:38:50,996 --> 00:38:53,529
That went to these.
Who doesn't want that?
1054
00:38:53,598 --> 00:38:54,931
Absolutely incredible.
1055
00:38:54,999 --> 00:38:56,666
I love this painting,
absolutely love it.
1056
00:38:56,734 --> 00:38:58,068
It says, "his first experience."
1057
00:38:58,270 --> 00:39:00,737
- It's pretty great. Look,
you got his satchel flying up,
1058
00:39:00,939 --> 00:39:03,740
His hat flying off.
So much movement.
1059
00:39:03,808 --> 00:39:05,542
What sets this
collection apart,
1060
00:39:05,744 --> 00:39:06,876
Is that it has provenance.
1061
00:39:06,945 --> 00:39:08,611
We have the paintings
that go with it
1062
00:39:08,680 --> 00:39:10,012
From dude larsen himself.
1063
00:39:10,082 --> 00:39:14,017
The whole process
of dude larsen's creativity
1064
00:39:14,085 --> 00:39:15,552
Is right in front of you.
That's incredible.
1065
00:39:15,754 --> 00:39:18,621
- I'd like to sell everything,
1066
00:39:18,690 --> 00:39:20,556
Because the building is sold.
1067
00:39:20,625 --> 00:39:21,758
- That's a lot.
- Yeah.
1068
00:39:21,827 --> 00:39:23,226
- Stocking the shop
can be difficult,
1069
00:39:23,295 --> 00:39:26,029
Because inventory is one of the
hardest things to accumulate.
1070
00:39:26,097 --> 00:39:28,498
And when you're getting
in a bunch of inventory,
1071
00:39:28,700 --> 00:39:29,699
It takes up a lot of room.
1072
00:39:29,901 --> 00:39:31,768
These postcards are
space savers.
1073
00:39:31,836 --> 00:39:33,002
What's your price
for everything?
1074
00:39:33,572 --> 00:39:36,706
- 12-5 for everything.
1075
00:39:36,775 --> 00:39:38,975
- 12-5 for the whole lot.
- Yeah.
1076
00:39:39,044 --> 00:39:40,844
- When you're stocking
the shop with smalls,
1077
00:39:40,912 --> 00:39:42,045
You're going
to make money on it.
1078
00:39:42,113 --> 00:39:44,781
So we can really sell
these smalls forever,
1079
00:39:44,983 --> 00:39:46,916
And always have
the provenance to them
1080
00:39:46,985 --> 00:39:49,652
Right next to them.
That's pretty cool.
1081
00:39:49,721 --> 00:39:51,788
It is a really
great opportunity
1082
00:39:51,856 --> 00:39:52,855
To go ahead and take
the whole lot.
1083
00:39:52,924 --> 00:39:55,925
12-5 is something we can't
afford right now.
1084
00:39:55,994 --> 00:39:59,061
- If you buy the whole package,
there's these...
1085
00:39:59,130 --> 00:40:00,997
- Are those the original?
- These are original blocks.
1086
00:40:01,066 --> 00:40:03,800
- The printing blocks that
these were made out of.
1087
00:40:03,869 --> 00:40:05,868
- And they were part
of the estate too.
1088
00:40:05,937 --> 00:40:07,603
- Yeah, it's a lot of money
to lay out.
1089
00:40:07,672 --> 00:40:08,671
But at the end of the day,
1090
00:40:08,740 --> 00:40:10,473
You don't get a chance
to buy 100,000 postcards
1091
00:40:10,542 --> 00:40:11,808
Twice in your life.
1092
00:40:11,876 --> 00:40:14,677
This is a one-time opportunity,
and you got to take that.
1093
00:40:14,880 --> 00:40:16,879
- We want to do
a deal with ya.
1094
00:40:16,948 --> 00:40:19,883
I just think we have
to be at 10,000 dollars.
1095
00:40:20,085 --> 00:40:22,151
I mean, I don't think
we can get any higher.
1096
00:40:22,954 --> 00:40:26,555
- When they came back
at 10 grand, I was like,
1097
00:40:26,624 --> 00:40:27,624
"well this just got real."
1098
00:40:27,826 --> 00:40:29,993
- I got one question.
- Yeah.
1099
00:40:30,495 --> 00:40:31,995
- We're so close.
1100
00:40:35,700 --> 00:40:37,633
I would like to keep 2 hoke's.
1101
00:40:38,169 --> 00:40:41,571
Those are my favorites.
- Absolutely, yes. For sure.
1102
00:40:41,640 --> 00:40:43,840
- I'm a happy guy.
- Yay!
1103
00:40:43,908 --> 00:40:45,508
- 10 grand? We're there?
- We're there!
1104
00:40:45,577 --> 00:40:47,577
- Man, look at his face.
1105
00:40:47,645 --> 00:40:51,113
- That is amazing... Wow!
1106
00:40:51,182 --> 00:40:52,982
- He's like, "I don't have
to move any of this stuff."
1107
00:40:53,051 --> 00:40:54,784
- I'm just glad you got
to buy the fire sale.
1108
00:40:54,852 --> 00:40:57,320
Congratulations.
- Ah, the fire sale.
1109
00:40:57,389 --> 00:40:58,454
- I'm real happy
1110
00:40:58,523 --> 00:40:59,856
With the 10 grand.
1111
00:40:59,924 --> 00:41:01,324
- Let them have it.
- Feels right.
1112
00:41:01,393 --> 00:41:02,659
- I was excited.
1113
00:41:02,994 --> 00:41:04,527
- And they're going
to do good with them.
1114
00:41:04,595 --> 00:41:06,396
- Slide her in there.
1115
00:41:07,065 --> 00:41:08,664
You know, one thing
I love about teako,
1116
00:41:08,733 --> 00:41:11,667
Is he's invested
in his community.
1117
00:41:11,736 --> 00:41:13,870
He's making hatch a destination,
1118
00:41:13,938 --> 00:41:15,872
And he's taking
his family on that ride.
1119
00:41:15,940 --> 00:41:16,873
His son's right there
next to him.
1120
00:41:17,075 --> 00:41:19,542
He's teaching him
how to carry that torch.
1121
00:41:19,611 --> 00:41:21,477
That's the kid of legacy
1122
00:41:21,546 --> 00:41:22,612
Teako could be proud of.
1123
00:41:22,814 --> 00:41:24,146
Man, I'll tell you what, teako,
1124
00:41:24,216 --> 00:41:26,749
This town needs to be proud
of what you got going on here.
1125
00:41:26,818 --> 00:41:28,952
I'm sure you're proud
of your dad.
1126
00:41:29,020 --> 00:41:30,820
- I absolutely think
that dani and robbie
1127
00:41:30,888 --> 00:41:32,689
Appreciate each item
for what it is.
1128
00:41:32,757 --> 00:41:34,691
And for what they mean to us.
1129
00:41:34,759 --> 00:41:36,960
- They're both pretty damn cool,
1130
00:41:37,028 --> 00:41:37,694
And they're both
pretty damn knowledgeable.
1131
00:41:37,896 --> 00:41:40,496
I think those guys,
both of them,
1132
00:41:40,565 --> 00:41:41,831
They got a lot of heart.
1133
00:41:42,033 --> 00:41:44,000
(honks horn)
- take care, guys! Thank you!
1134
00:41:47,505 --> 00:41:50,006
