rods and wheels
Did anyone catch last nights episode of rods and wheels? The shop owners buy a 64 coupe with 4 hacked quarters ,66 fender vents,66 big block hood,later model seats and I think no pillar vents for 12k. Nine days later it's a totally restored car with a 67 big block hood and they are asking 56k and end up selling it back to the guy that they bought it from for 47k. I wish these shows would stick to the story line of finding the car and go into a bit of what it takes to bring them back to life as opposed to the bs with deadlines and ncrs values after a spray can resto.

All that you need to know about reality TV is that they have writers.It is all made up and in these car shows the writers are definitely have zero corvette knowledge.

What I DO NOT UNDERSTAND about these kinds of shows, is, WHY do people watch them in the first place???????????????
Are viewers REALLY that bored?

I watched it.
Miraculously, (TV drama) they sold it to the same guy that they bought it from, and it miraculously it some how ended up being a numbers matching car, and they miraculously made 7K from the deal.
Tom is right, I must be bored!

The seller of this car was the real winner.
He sold the car for $12,000, bought a documented
numbers matching restored `64 corvette for
$47,000. Or a difference of $35,000.
Only on TV.
Need to see what they can do with my `64.

Hello
I watched it and I don't remember them saying this was a matching number car?? They put a 327 and a 4 spd in it. I thought it looked decent this is a driver. It had a 67 big block hood on it..
I thought at least its back on the road and not sitting in this guy garage anymore. After he bought it back...
I like the show...After all it is a show!!

I think that most people don't know any better. Ignorance is bliss...

I was there at Pomona looking at it!
I also heard some of the conversation about it, but when the cameras weren't on it. I just thought it was a bunch of bullcrap artists with ignorance, but the car itself was decent looking. The 1967 hood and the Marina Blue did kind of cause me to walk over and look! Then I see the TV show! Interesting! Now I have put 2 and 2 together!
Also in a previous episode I saw a flared red C2 Vette in the background, so they must flip Corvettes!!!!!!! I had them out in AZ, but it looks like they are SF Valley now???????
