Love the show, but it seems their car knowledge is limited. I've seen them ignore I believe a red 57 Tbird that from the video looked fantastic. The owner said it was for sale dropping a starting price in the mid $20,000. Without any apparent negotiations. Mike comments the cars uncomfortable and passes on the car. My quess that car could have been purchased for thousands less. Yet Mike will spend thousands of dollars for rusty motorcycles and parts. With the opportunities they run across to purchase antique and special cars. They should be better schooled in the automotive side of their business. I believe the packard they purchased in an old dealership located on the second floor had been converted into a wrecker which reduces it's values. It was a battle getting the car down an old elevator where they sold it at or just below break even. I'm a car guy and enjoy seeing the cars they come across. As I said before. I'm a big fan. They just need to become more familiar with the automotive side of their business.

I know their knowledge on cars is limited, I saw Frank get hosed on an old Dodge or Plymouth coupe and several other bad car deals, but they sure know bikes.

@pajerofan22 2 жыл бұрын

I guess at the end of the day, as a business owner, it's gotta make sense to him. Maybe it all depends if he has buyers or contacts really wanting or looking for certain items

@Ryu-qk1kx Жыл бұрын

Mike isnt a car guy hes more of a bicycle guy, his brother Robbie is actually more knowledgeable than him in terms of cars, and frank is a motorcycle guy. If you pay attention to the older seasons most of the time Mike and Frank calls their car experts friends first before they try to offer to buy a car

You might be right. I had an old car, I don't remember what it was, but it was making a noise that sounded like a bad lifter, a clicking sound. Everyone that heard it said, sounds like a bad lifter. This was in the early 70s when gas stations still had garages, so I would stop in to see what they thought. To me it sounded like a bad lifter, but the sound was coming from the bottom of the engine, a bad lifter would be in the top. One day I stopped at a gas station to fill up. The mechanic came out and said do you know what that sounds like? I said everyone says it's a bad lifter, but I don't think so. He said there's a metal plate between the starter and the engine. The starter came loose and the metal plate dropped down, and is hitting the teeth on the flywheel. He said, remove the starter, take out the metal plate and throw it away, put the starter back on. When I got home, I checked and the starter was loose. I did what he said, and never had another problem.
