Chasing Classis Cars

[Paul G]

Anyone else watch this show? How does this guy make any money? Every time I watch an episode where he takes a car to auction, he looses money on it or barely makes any. I am not a business man, but, seems to me, if you run that way long enough, you go out of business.

[Vainglory, Esq.]

I think he generally does it for clients, so he probably takes a cut no matter what the car actually sells for.  Then again, I'm sure he had some pretty damn lucrative years between 2004 and 2007.

That's not the only string to his bow...he does (or did) have a shop which services prestige cars, so this is only a small percentage of his business

I agree that he wouldn't be doing what he does for free and gets a fee. What about the show? Does he get money from them?

Personally I can't stand the show.

Personally I can't stand the show.

I like the mechanic guy. My favorite line of his is when he is first starting the engine on some old relic that has been sitting in a garage for 30 years, he says it "has to start, has to make a lot of noise, has to make a lot of smoke, has to smell bad, if it does all those things it will be OK".

I actually like the show. He has a place called F40 Motorsports.

You know, it is funny.  I was just talking to Wayne on Saturday at the Hartung Auction.  Really nice guy.  Definitely interested in my free time activities...... I might be on the show next year!  So watch for me I guess.

is this the show where they were restoring the old baracuda and the broom handle broke the back window after they were told a million times not to break the back they are so rare?

Not the same show.     Desert Car Kings is the bunch of bottom feeders with the Barracuda.

That would be cool. Good luck with that. I am hoping to take the Charger down there some afternoon and just look around. You know, an excuse to go drive the charger and look at cars. Maybe I could talk Rob (69chargerrtse) into joining me.

   so true.

Good point. That was a decent show if not overly flooded with B.S. theatrics.  Would be a great venue for them.

All the lifestyle programming on Speed to me is horrible.

Where would you be going?  The Hartung stuff is all gone now.  If you wanna go hit up some junkyards in the mid-west... now that's another story.

Yea, kinda out of context there eh? Down to Wayne's F40 shop in CT was what I was thinking. 

I would love to hit up some yards, anywhere. I get lost in those places.  Used to march around in a few that were on farms near where I grew up. An easy way to kill a day.
