Pawn Stars: Seller REFUSES TO BUDGE on 1937 Oldsmobile Price (Season 5) | History

check this out pops this guy's selling a 37 oldsmobile it's in pretty good shape man and it said trump my dad's always pushing me to find better deals do you think he'd be willing to drive an extra hour to find one go by rick i don't want to waste a whole day going out to parum it's not a whole day we drive there the car sucks we turn around drive back that car's a classic rick it's worth going to look at just trust me on this all right let's go you're driving fine i know corey's trying to score a big deal and i should support him taking a whole day to scope out a car it better be good [Music] oh wow i told you it looks good man look at it yeah it does look pretty nice [Music] it does look clean it's a 1937 model l-37 four-door sedan this was my dad's car and the story goes bugsy siegel used to drive the car around he was the main guy that helped develop las vegas that's cool i decided to call the guys down from the pawn shop to look at my 1937 oldsmobile i have mixed emotions about selling the car but i'm ready to make a deal today i'm looking to get 15 five i feel that's a very fair amount and i don't think i'll take a penny less so what's been done to it has it been restored at all or it's an older restoration back in the 80s the car is 90 original it's got the original inline eight cylinder motor this is the top-of-the-line car for 1937. i mean in 37 your bare bones chevy coupe cost like 700 bucks this was probably a few thousand you had to be well off to get a car like this i mean remember 37 it's the height of the depression most people didn't make four or five thousand dollars in a year back in the late 1800s an engine builder named ransom oles teamed up with a carriage builder named frank clark their motorized carriage was a success osmobile actually became the first mass producer of gasoline-powered cars you mind if i look inside yeah sure thing you got to love the suicide doors yeah they're classic why they call them suicide doors bob um because if you didn't close your door all the way and you want to open it up and close it as you're driving along all of a sudden you've got a giant sail there grabbing your arm it would pull you right out if you didn't let go in time i mean the great thing about it is you still have all the original gauges and everything all the lights turn signals everything seems to work fine i think this curtain back here was for the make-out room give bugsy and his date a little privacy this thing is classic it's pure 1930s gangster and the fact that it has a story tied to bugsy siegel makes it a lot cooler i mean the car is deeply cool i'll give you that here's my concerns there's some real pain issues with it there's some crazing on the hood it seems like the guy who did restore this did it on a budget the interior should have been done in vinyl or leather it's too cool and too nice of a car to use the absolute cheapest material he could have done for the interior i'm trying to figure out how much would cost me to fix it up if you don't mind i'd like to get my buddy out here to take a look at it i'd like him to come look at it okay i'll be right back i'm gonna give him a call all right thanks man thank you all right so far so good i told you man yo rick gore you guys back here hey over here buddy i own counts customs in las vegas where we build way cool choppers and wicked hot rods guys usually call me down when they want somebody to take a look at anything with wheels and a motor wow sweet old car good looking ride man 37 is a wicked old car i love the fact that it's got the straight aid in it that humpback trunk is beautiful tell me uh what's your guys's concerns what are we looking at okay um there's a few problems with the paint the interior is really really blah i don't know if it's gonna cost five grand to fix this thing up or it's going to cost 20 grand mm-hmm i gotcha would you mind if i check it all out i'd appreciate it if you would thank you it's certainly a really good looking ride all your seams all your body lines real tight i really like the body itself it's really straight it rolls pretty straight down the highway too it's just a solid old car you know i agree with you rick on the fact that you know obviously we do have paint issues but it's just so straight and so solid there's not a lot to complain about in this car you'd be hard-pressed to find a 75-year-old person that could have shaved [Laughter] 1937 oldsmobile most of them have been cut up either turned into low riders or hot rods to find one that's as pure as this one is is a rare find okay for me this is where it gets really interesting all right oh yeah i see why brother that's beautiful an inline eight cylinder oldsmobile engine from 1937. this motor's got to weigh 7-800 pounds it sounds as good as the day they made it do you mind if we take it for a little putt sounds good shotgun i don't think so i want shotgun this is my deal not happening more room in the back anyways i don't care whose deal it is i'm the boss and the boss always rides shotgun [Music] so what you think danny how's it driving the brakes feel good the motor runs really nice man this is a really nice ride brother the car like this from 1937 in this type of running condition is not easy to find drives a lot nicer than most new cars i'm impressed i am too man so would it be worth my time uh fixing this thing up for me i would leave it alone this car appears to be about 90 original and all there so it is a restorer's dream okay so what do you think it's worth i've seen cars like this that are completely restored they're ready for the museum they go upwards you know high 30s low 40s as it sits right now i would i would easily put this car 16 17 grand all right my man that's my feelings why we love you good call on this corey good call thanks for bringing me out for awesome all right see you man i'll see you back in vegas brother nice to meet you thanks man catch you later take care so you want to handle this one yeah um i'll tell you what my man you uh you said 15 500 earlier i know it's sentimental to you but i think 12 grand is a better number well i just heard him say it was 16-17 and i'm pretty fair with 15-5 and i'm gonna stick to my guns on that do you actually have any proof it was owned by bugsy seagull no sir we go 14. my dad turned down 25 from a guy in the casino so there's no way that i would go under 15 5. you're not going to take a dime less not one dime you always expect some give and take in a negotiation so when someone refuses to budge even a little bit it makes it really hard to make a deal you got it man deal sounds good partner i paid a little more than i should have but i just couldn't let this thing go and as good as this car looks we should be able to flip it pretty fast all right we'll pay the man well you think i just carried that much cash on me no we're gonna have to go to the bank all right i'm sorry we'll be right back let me run to the bank i'll give you the cashier's check okay sounds good all right just say good job son i'm not gonna say it
