Wrecks to Riches | S2E3 | Ford Fairlane Thunderbolt

on this episode of rags to riches hike oh that's wonderful the tree fell on what do you look for muscle car royalty like has been here well in the enchanted forest of course hey few parts in here believe it or now Barry thinks this junker can be super muscled cane a 64 Fairlane Thunderbolt never done the Thunderbolt car before so I think it'd be fun ambitious maybe but what comes next is just plain crazy I think having an auction here at the shop would be wonderful that's right Barry's staging his own auction place could be fact how to make a buck the Barry White Way just rip that out of there find a wreck it's exactly what we're looking for sleeping or anything get the right people Jan do something I don't wanna hear that you'll draw something the right parts easy easy and go to work bring it on then hope it's flawless someone wants to buy it let your money break a penis that's how you get from wrecks to riches at Barry White speed shop the boss is looking for muscle car loyalty it'll be a grant project that starts with a 1964 Ford Fairlane I've been looking around at Fairlanes having a hard time finding anything it seems the Fairlane is as popular today as it was back then there's not a lot of these farallon's out there to find as chris is finding and most sellers are asking a king's ransom hi I'm calling about the 64 Fairlane you have for sale that's pretty nice car huh so is that a restored car what do you ask a 415 the mid-sized sedan is a restores dream nice lines and spectacular trim a car show favorite the fair lines I've found there's hardly anything to find I mean there's just aren't any out there and everything I find is restored cars and they're about 15 to 18 grand okay yeah I think it's gonna be a little bit out of my budget the only fair lands Chris can find are already restored or so well preserved they cost a bundle Barry just wants a wreck a cheap start on the road to riches yeah they're prettier yeah I don't that's quite a little nicer than one I'm like affirm look over a project car then after a week of searching a possible diamond in the rough I do have a lead somebody told me about this one that's kind of setting in an orchard oh great which is kind of what we're looking for yeah I don't want to spend $20,000 putting panels on this car no but we don't want to start with a $20,000 car anyway we might as well if we're gonna do that yeah they actually sent me some photos wanna see the thing you got photos of the gas car yeah Barry's having trouble seeing the forest for the trees oh wait hey oh that's wonderful and the tree fell on it actually the car doesn't look too bad it's got a bunch of parts I'm just worried about the floors folks could be a disaster this must be muscle car royalty it's in the Enchanted Forest it's the first Fairlane they found under 10 grand but it may just be dead wood you must be Linda I'm Linda hi I'm Kris nice to meet you this is Tony hi nice to meet you nice to meet you came here to take a look here fairlane looks like it's been here well it's a it's growing into the earth yeah it kind of looks like if you mind if we take a look no that's that's what you're here for yeah okay looked like it was ever wrecked or anything does it trip really straight looks pretty original yeah well it's not entirely how 2 percent molested cards although well it takes pretty much all their paint-and-body guy Tony Korea is expecting the worst Barry's brought home some real dogs in the past but the enchanted forest is full of surprises hey got a few parts in here is your stick I think everything's there this is like digging for buried treasure let's pull this out for a sec looking at now you know that's not that bad our cars all the pieces are here we just open the trunk up I found a lot of nice straight doc trim pieces that we may have to reuse yeah let's see if I can go through the door you get my income in here the search may be over you need a longer thing you guys can't break into a car that doesn't have a front width we're not doing it are we area they may not be breaking in but the boys are looking for a steal I think we could probably turn this in some that could be pretty nice time to call the bank hey Barry that's Chris hey Tony and I were looking at this Fairlane and it kind of needs to be trimmed up a little bit it's a little overgrown but it looks like a pretty good car okay let's go down as far as scam I mean that car didn't look that great start at 350 if you think she'll take 350 you don't want me to us teacher good okay all right would you take 354 oh I don't think so what we thinking more like seven or eight seven or eight yeah uh Linda's saying seven or eight offer 500 bucks see what she says at 500 all right would you do five oh I think sevens about just the bottom absolute bottom line sevens our final offer okay as long as car looks okay don't worry about it that's just 700 bucks isn't enough to worry about it all right okay all right looks like we have a deal a real deal legal thank you and for Linda are you gonna pay me to take it but I'm afraid you take me up on it you screw up with all these car deals before the tree monsters move in this 64 Fairlane would have lit up any country road or suburban street it's soft rounded lines and ornate trim it was a favorite with the ladies the Fairlane was just the cheap little grandma car it was the mid-sized car between the Falcon and the galaxy but Ford had big plans for this midsize sedan and they didn't include grandma it had been running the big-block motors in drag racing in the full-size galaxies and then realized that all of a sudden this full-sized car is now at the heavy end of its weight class and it's no longer competitive so they take the midsize car for the same motor it goes even faster that's all they could run in the 11s and this thing grandma's car got real nasty the Fairlane became the thunderbolt king of the 60s drag scene Barry can't wait to try as hand at the transformation I think all in all I think it's gonna be a bitchin car I'm excited about the car I'm never done the Thunderbolt car before so I think it'd be fun sorry Clark what they did with the Thunderbolt was not only did they do obviously fiberglass to your job hood that's kind of like the trademark of that car fiberglass front fenders so they basically took a lightweight car stripped everything out of it and then put a big 427 actually I don't see that made problems with it I think we got a pretty decent I'll be here the Fairlane Thunderbolt was a monster it's 427 big-block made it the fastest car of its era untouchable on the quarter-mile the 64 trimmed up Thunderbolt is a rare beast only 50 were ever made berries making number 51 with an even bigger engine for making the super muscle car version of a thunderbolt now it's kind of our version with a 521 ford motor in it and we're putting automatic and bigger wheels and tires and dropping it down the trademark fiberglass front panels turn out to be the easiest parts to find and save Tony a few days beating panels into shape this this needs to come out anyway and then if you put a piece behind that yeah oh good okay yeah exactly and that's perfect the bumpers and everything will all be original bumpers so they'll all be as strong as anything basically the fiberglass front it is just basically desert yeah it's just all cosmetic the Fairlanes facelift is the first big dent in Berry's pocket forty five hundred dollars so far and ninety work hours but Barry's hoping to double his money in a little over three weeks his next auction will be a very white first this time he's not bringing his car to auction he's bringing the auction to his car okay what we're thinking about doing here is is see if we can get cruise the cruise people adoption if we could get them to come out and hold an auction here which we talked about before and that would be fantastic we run the cars in one door and out the other now Barry's had some wild ideas but this just might take the cake in a little over three weeks he's got to build a thunderbolt and turn his speed shop into a circus tent daughter Jennifer white doesn't see a problem yeah so I'm gonna make a flier program something I can do that absolutely oh cool let's start promoting it and see if they'll promote it as well if we promoted and them and then it's gonna be a fantastic deal and we could have a place could be fact are they crazy what if nobody comes well at least they'll be home early for dinner Barry White wants this at his speed shop in three weeks he's not just planning a super muscled Fairlane Thunderbolt never done the Thunderbolt car before I think all in all I think it's gonna be a bitchin car he's planning his own auction it's his biggest gamble yet while nobody's done one right here just three weeks to build his bail and organize the ball good luck for his own show Barry wants a showstopper he has a proven tactic to turn heads and open the shed box what arms are we putting on this so you guys decide what orange if we're using straight Molly orange okay so it's gonna be bright on it is st. colors my tub to Barry the color of money is orange this is actually a color they make the orange paint with but this is just a straight Orange toner and all they did was add the binder and this is the color and a half it's like coloring a flower to attract bees this gonna be a great color in the car you'll be really surprised thank you as long as some bidders turn up to swarm you're trying to make it so you don't have to go pay that's right if Barry's worried about whose do-it-yourself auction he's not showing it that looks nice very nice car looks good the color looks good the guys came through again and knock this thing out in record time as usual this been domitor hits five figures $10,000 and 120 work hours but Berry's about to get some free help from one of his favorite suppliers hey guys how you doing how are you doll you ranked Barry a bear shelf Shelby this is Tony how you doing Shelton maven and Danny Raglan have sold thousands of O'Reilly parts to customers like Barry now they want to get out from behind the counter to experience the other side okay basically what we're gonna do is go these nuts got to come off we're gonna have to grind all these roots off get these stripped down got Sam glass cabinet out back we're not gonna use any of this break stuff so we can take the back inflates and all that off both of these need to be cleaned up he painted then take the u-bolts off get the springs out and mess around and they'll pop out to kind of give you a new respect for what I did poorly can I sell the parts to the guys I never really in the shop with it to see how hard it is Sheldon and Donny are muscle car fans from way back I guess most teenage boys have a muscle bar when they're in high school at least that's how it started with me and you know all the guys I run around with high school these guys have hit the jackpot for one week they get to wrench on one of America's legendary rides you guys might like to see what you're actually building Frederico be a fun little muscle that is awesome question is do they know what they're in for great now he won't let me help him man hey Tim I wasn't good enough to help him he didn't trust me I thought we'd been through together Shelton is finding the going tough I thought we break every 30 minutes and then we work Tim mess and break 30 minutes man how do you book all you can't father's trucks I've seen some whiners before Thanks yeah I got this one for you Barry cuts Shelton some slack it's got a headrest that you can adjust quit complaining the front of the shop is gearing up to Becky white and her daughter Jen have an auction to organize in just 15 days very speed shop I was just giving you a call to see if you guys were interested in coming and doing the auction here yeah I think having an auction here at the shop it'd be wonderful um we don't have to travel number one we have a little bit more time to get the car finished because we don't have it done you know week ahead of time so I can leave and go somewhere and the cruise people were fantastic to us when we went to their auctions in Vegas so yeah they're gonna come here and help us out it'll be wonderful it's down to Becky and Jen to create an event to draw in the crowds they laugh when I need to speak to somebody about getting a permit for a type of a block party I guess wow I didn't see any trim on the car one that's guys if only Barry's car was in such good shape esta pieza that's good it's gonna have to be plated that's uh gonna be a challenge the Fairlane Thunderbolt was as much about it's cool trim as it was about the quarter mile and the cool trim is in a bad shape or missing altogether anything I'm not nice to I got a thick so I know you know they don't reproduce any of this stuff so um door if it's damaged and we can't find it we got to fix it now as far as making your own Thunderbolt well a lot of the trim isn't reproduced on this car so a lot of stuff we're gonna have to reuse because this car had a lot of trim that's front bumper maybe even the old Riley guys can't help here these unique parts are kept by only a few owners scattered across the country they're in for a national treasure hunt the uprights with just 13 days to auction that's here with just 13 days to auction Barry White has changed the Lewis instead of heading here Barry is staying here at the speed shop that would be fantastic we run the cars in one door and out the other he's staging his own auction his star attraction his latest creation a super muscled Ford Thunderbolt that is awesome trouble is the car is turning into a super muscle headache this and a lot of windows from it looks like they're missing a vital body trim which makes the Thunderbolt unique and the pressures on Chris to find the rare pieces from all over the country Barry's had some breaks to O'Riley guys are helping convert his Fairlane wreck into a drag strip legend you can start on the top do the roof through the doors do the firewall and then you can probably do under the backseat in all that area salesman Shelton and Donnie wanted to see where their parts ended up Barry's only too happy to show them I didn't think this is gonna take you guys I thought they'd be you know two guys I know you thought we'd just slap it on there and I thought there'd be two guys on that one so whatever happened in your life hey you don't tell me why you like you are Shelton knows his way around a catalog but Barry White is another book altogether keeps having dreams about Barry yeah you hey if you have another dream about me I'm not gonna lie to come back today's challenge is to make room for an oversized engine Ford originally squeezed a 427 big-block in here now Barry wants to fit a 521 John Barrett monster there just isn't space basically what we're doing is trimming things out so that this plate will go in we took in order to put this big engine in here that's the only way you're gonna get that thing to fit it's a shopping prop deal okay you go what's that take there there's gonna be a lot of welding on here you got we got to put a brace between the two shock towers and all that to keep everything from moving around so yeah it's pretty extensive extensive deal you are like you look I just have to nip this out know this old fairway abandoned in Orchard's is upsizing daytime no that's great absolutely fantastic with just ten days the berries do-it-yourself auction the John Barrett Big Boy is knocking at the door the thunderbolt would have come with a 427 engine input now was the king of its day that was the biggest baddest motor they had that would actually fit in this fair land so we just stepped it up a notch and that's very super muscle-car philosophy automotive engineering has come a long way in 50 years why not use it I mean because back back in his day you would him to make 550 horsepower or 600 horsepower you would have had a full up you know race engine whereas now we can have 550 600 horsepower and drive it around on the street comfortably without it overheating so now the big test will it fit okay hang out mister just a hair more zoning it's a bit of persuasion now go forth little real backwards as it goes down so you might have come out look we're gonna scratch that huh I might not even fit I'm very unique a coming up so long smash my hands again hang on am heroin mines in this site come out of the hole I think once it goes in its gonna fall over enough much click oh my it can you get that one back in the hole that's in the hole right now let it down some it went right in this is what's holding us out lift it up amazing right side down real slow now and stop my sides in oh yeah all right now huh the Beast is locked and loaded see the whole motor typically has to be off to one side because you got the steering on the set so most of the engines we put in like when we do like the big Hemis into the into the darts and stuff the engine actually has to be off to one side in order to clear all the steering so it physically has to be that way this cranks the speedometer up to 18 grand and 240 work hours there's a Sheldon header box Barry has another puzzle for show them each one of these two blow up it's been more than a learning curve for the auto parts guru I have had a break either man I'm really proud of my bill more like a steep cliff it's high and he's about to fall off who's that I do everything wrong you just did you said show me and make sure I didn't do it wrong No Alyce's you could do it right I never know how to do it yes but Shelton can give as good as he gets how long you been in 100 years your names on everything right thank you own the place thanks Zoe you would think so with just eight days to auction the front office is running smoother with Otto I'm not participating I think so and then ours is at the top right yeah okay again and everything looks okay yeah I like it different Jen and Becky white are working up a circus I have gotten um tables chairs canopies porta-potties we're working on getting food vendors and cars most importantly cars for the auction the speed shop auction will be the talk of corona but will cinderella be ready for the ball The O'Reilly guys leave soon and there's still lots to do the TCI three-speed transmission has moved in strong enough for the 550 Plus horsepower coming through the all new exhaust system will be tuned to just the right note for buyers years the street-legal dragster gets a new axle to take the heat the kind of heat Shelton's please to be clear of its hot water coming from Lincoln the O'Reilly guys are heading back to their counters well Barry looks like we've got to get back to our other jobs here's your crying towel okay yeah thank you hello I'll need that you got white my hair no good nothing you guys here take a t-shirt get out of here Frank see now thank you guys for coming over I was your great guys thanks a lot Barry appreciate and the guys I'm sure gonna miss you will you fancy Andy Sheldon sure brightened up the speed shop but both he and Donny put in some hard time with less than a week to auction the next meeting will be a laugh free zone how are we doing on these parts we got this and we've got the window trim might you want me to fix this or what what do we do um I've got a couple of emails out to people that are on eBay they're selling groups of parts for that car with calls out across the country new pieces of trim are only trickling in Barrie's already salvaged what he can from the original this is actually stainless this'll have to end up getting repolished so if it was chrome would be a little easier because then we get Nikolas and you can grind it and file it and sand it usually like use it like body color this is stainless there's no body filler what you see is what you're gonna get so all these little dings and dents got to come out the window trim I found some window trim but I don't think it's gonna work Barry can restore almost anything but if he doesn't have all the parts I just got to keep looking for the stuff time may yet steal Barry's thumb to make money at auction you don't always need a lot of bidders just the right bidders Barry White super muscle cars are developing a following so Barry's decided he'll stage his own auction at his speed shop and invite his fans hey few parts in here he's planning a showstopper a 64 Fairlane transformed into a rare Thunderbolt racer a lot of the big work is done it's the little thing stalling him now five days from d-day Barry still can't piece together the crown jewels of his thunderbolt the body trim do we have door handle new door hands the problem with the chrome and all the trim on this car was that the trim was thrown inside the car and no everybody assumed that the trim was here we have a complete passenger side house that quarter door and front piece yeah the doors doors got a kink here quarters got a keen fit front pieces got a gink here that's all crap we got one good side this piece they've had little luck with replacement parts in desperation they're trolling through the old Fairlane trim again the only piece we have and I don't know if that even belongs on this chart we keep going over and over again but other things come up there we don't have it's just frustrating backing up huh yeah that's it the new fiberglass hood and front fenders are easier bought off the rack they better fit you're gonna know it's not gonna fit the teardrop hood scoop is a thunderbolt hallmark shrink-wrapped over a new 521 big-block inside it's all Retro - electrician Garrett is upgrading the - but keeping the sixty spirit basically took all the the old original gate design we put in the new style you know Racing type gauges and still have an old feel to them the all-new TCI three-speed transmission is hidden beneath a classic shifter yeah there - we kind of modified the console a bit put a BM ratchet type shifter in it made it look like it was originally supposed to be part of the console and again keeping it the new technology with the old nostalgic feel of the car the whole car is cutting-edge tech right down to the battery this shockproof cell is going into the trunk this is just the newest and greatest technology there isn't a battery this is a what they call a gel filled battery and there's no there's no liquid in it at all and it's an old racers trick that it's a in the back gives a little more weight transfer it's the weight out over the back tire oh that's pretty we got some good cars coming with three days to auction Jen and Becky are finalizing the catalog very thunderbolt won't be the only car under the hammer more than 50 other sellers want in on the action we have people calling all the time wanting to bring cars in you we need to have a an excellent photo information on the year make and model of the car and a copy of your registration and your title it's gonna be fun I'm looking forward to it yeah it's always a challenge getting the base ready and stuff put together and everything but it always seems to pull together at the last minute and I think we'll be fine it's gonna be fun the whites don't have to look far for one better he's out back this would be the car to buy because it's kind of one of my favorite colors I've always liked this straight orange toner because it's bright outside you know and in a crowd this color you can put a whole pot of cards together this car stick out like a sore thumb just present the color Toni's keeping quiet until his first bid on auction day if I was have been on this car I hope it only goes for 10 grand but I don't think it's gonna go for less than 50 I think that I do have my limitations it's my wife you know it's same old crap you wanted that night to go do yourself right be great if everyone else got to sell except for Barry that's the piece we've been looking for her I told him did I not tell him it was there another search turns up new parts and Chris's national scavenger hunt is finally paying off so this is drivers for a piece we needed only thing we got fixes is out one little spot maybe fix that in two seconds yeah perfect excellent the last pieces of the puzzle arrived from out of state the rear windscreen has been driven 12 hours to make the deadline let's go see if this fits okay you can breathe now Chris lives another day how many of these are left in the United States uh girl hernia none that one's from another state in just under four weeks berry spend domitor has hit 42 thousand bucks with 340 work hours yeah you finish the rest me and I can finish her at home yeah you messed that all up this is the last piece we'll get this on here we'll paint the trim down the center of it not going huh the street-legal drag racer is almost done but Barry needs to adjust its attitude yeah all the all the Thunderbolts of their era where a little nose high and because of the header clearance a lot of other things with the headers are haven't become an issue at this point but because of the look we're trying to achieve and everything on the car um decide to raise the front up it's pretty level right now so we want to take the front end up a little bit and just kind of get a little nose high kind of 60s drag look ready with the auction tomorrow Barry's taking no chances in scratching the fenders and hood he's taking them off for the test-fire I've done that go ahead if there's gonna be any doubt this looks like a thunderbolt the sound of the engine should end it turn the key off don't ever do that a man not a fan bystander next year barbecue the John Barrett 521 is smoking but it's the new oil and will clear quickly go right on 75 how we doing on Tim that's just creeping up on 180 right now shut it off it's good let's let it cool down and then we can tighten up this baby's ready good to go but will the buyers show what if Barry throws a party and no one comes miss the header stuff it's auction morning not in Vegas not in Monterey not in Palm Beach this is Corona California Barry White's home game this street is filling up with cars their owners wanting to sell at the inaugural Barry White speed shop auction yeah I think we just put them over here about wall we'll just a Camaro vibrating yep sounds good so the guy up there the black waters with the great so I'm having a fun time just keeping this organized and driving cars in and out it's fun next to arrive buyers people are here they're having fun we've got a lot of bidders registered so that's the exciting part hundred two hundred chairs they're all full so that that makes me happy that's cool we could have used more it's better than anyone expected the speed shop is on fire 300 people 80 cars and a dozen bikes it's pretty exciting really you know I mean you kind of get involved in it you know it kind of just like sucking in I guess you know I just wish I could bid it's warmed up today definitely warmed up to the ASA exciting stressful kind of crazy everything is going well so far I've got a lot of cars and a ton of people we're having a lot of fun everything's everything's looking good so hopefully we make everybody happen we sell some cars and this will be the star of the show a super muscle 64 Fairlane Thunderbolt from rec to dragster in just four weeks 42,000 dollars and 340 work hours can Barry double his money they'll find out in two hours I think Marilyn came out gorgeous it's a cool car came out bitchin we're all excited about it hopefully it goes across the block and bring some big money the all leather interior smells as new as it did 42 years ago that John Barrett 521 big-block promises 550 horsepower and there's just enough time for its streak debut got a ton of power lux Jules got the bear breaks it's truly a super muscle car but got all the cool stuff in it to make it look that era we got the wheels and and the tires and all that stuff and it's it's really cool we've got some cool things on the car to make it look at the park the car runs Mendez but berry can't get too carried away he needs to get his Bell back to the ball Wow get ready to try without the first of the cars are already rolling through Jen white can't believe they pulled it off 37 cars in our opener car show and then 80 cars is absolute it's amazing a new me way in four peaks that we have this thing of truth they wanted over 200 the excitement seems contagious I've never even been to a car auction before so this is this is really cool I even got a bidding number just in case my wife would kill me but I could live with that 71 72 Bob there's money here and Barry deserves his cousin he's got the whole shop behind him it took a lot of effort from everyone and all of our guys have been great you know everyone's pulling together and it's all working and bring the next unveil so that's my favorite four letter word it's all about you driving and me watching wipeout some choppers don't do that that would be bad before the Thunderbolt goes over the block Barry's testing the water with another car his 1932 Ford Roadster it's my car I don't drive it that often it kind of sits kind of company darn we used to somebody wants to drive a roadster or something we let him take it out and run around in it but it's been sitting a lot and most the time the guys in the shop are driving it so we'll see if we can get rid of this can't I'll keep driving it but if we can it'll move on and so it'll have a cool little car 7:38 of 1932 roaster coming in here got the robot there he's not sweating this one but if someone wants it bad enough gosh what a beautiful 32 Ford hot boy roaster ready and how much you got 300,000 Oh 3040 having a 30-bed now 40 alien negative in 40 40 40 better now 50 50 thousand 50 50 massive you bouncity-bounce a few thousand fifties all I got bid now a few thousand got 50 bid now 6,000 that Barry needs 70 to part with it that was it you try to build it try to build it for under a hundred thousand go ahead try to get it done for that you can't do it just think about it guys it's all been done for you needs nothing it's ready to go 59 58 so I got bid 59 thousand ninety thousand are there any advances to do 62 I got it now 63 thousand be the winner I got 60 mm morning at 63 thousand if this was the Thunderbolt they'd have a deal Oh 63 but Barry wants more for his sentimental favorite no Ben and I closed the bidding right there all right Becky's pushing me to get rid of it but I don't know I'll talk to the guys will think about it and see what we can come up with come buddy come up to 70 they don't outside paint-and-body guy Tony Korea lines up to sell his 32 Ford sedan it's kinda like a judgement day to your car what's it worth to somebody do we have the right kind of people for that kind of car I don't know and if somebody's looking for a 32 Ford sedan quality wise I think it stands just about above everything else here so that's a good thing and hopefully people can see the calling the car Tony's keeping Barry in the dark he'll use the money to bid for Barry's thunderbolt but he can't hide it from his wife Karen wants to bet on the Fairlane but he's got a sell in sedan first oh yeah she's made that perfectly clear well I put a 50,000 dollar reserve on it I know what I need to get out of that car and I know what I'll pay for the funderbolt and hopefully a lot work out okay and you give 100,000 to the start will give a hundred thousand go give one hundred five hundred give one hundred thousand out get earlier now 35 35 35 but as I can see around here for the car show part we got a lot of hot rod people here so maybe we'll be fortunate enough but somebody wants a our nice 32 Ford sedan today my boy he's eight grand short but Tony wants that Thunderbolt he worked hard on it and he wants his chance listen today he's lifting his reserve he wanted a lot more but the man is selling it today there's going to be a new owner drive it out 43,000 I'm bid 42 43 44 more time.i he said no pet died so Marsh is better so so 42,000 I will give him around with 42,000 in his pocket at least Tony's made his wife happy so the person is getting this car today he has no idea what he bought Tony can't wait to see the look on Barry's face when he bids for the Thunderbolt up next my gut feeling is I I think it's gonna go away it's got to be over 50 or we're not gonna be happy Barry speed shop auction just got personal Oh in Corona California Barry White's inaugural do-it-yourself auction is a smash the team from Cruz auto auctions is turning the speed shop into a money pit so far more than 50 cars have rolled over the block now it's time for the star attraction very super muscle 64 Fairlane Thunderbolt I think it's great I think it's beautiful the upholstery the body it worked beautiful the motors fantastic I mean it's one of the nicest fair lines I've ever seen you know it's professionally done it's just beautiful a month ago Barry set himself a double date nobody's done one right here staged a home auction and sell his latest creation here Thunderball that going off the inside of the building one down one to go
