Default New TV show - South Beach Classics (Lots of C3 coverage)

Was flipping through tv last night and came across this new show on Velocity Channel. It's called South Beach Classics - basically its similiar to Chasing Classic Cars, but it's based in FL and features "normal classics"

One guys rolls up to the dealer wanting to trade in his '69 with sidepipes and an L-88 hood. Dealer puts a value of $25,000 on it. The dealer trades the owner for a pro street Chevy truck and a Nova.



Then the dealer shows us the fastest car on the lot. a rubber bumper C3 with a wild paint job. Can't remember the specs on it.



On the next show, a mom gives an 18 yr old $10k for a classic car if he scored high on the SATs. He's interested in an '80 C3. So the dealer's wife() does the wheeling and dealing with him.




While the kid is in the office doing the paperwork - he gives him a warning to be very careful and don't get killed - as that's what happened to the dealer's sister.




So within 2 shows - that's the most C3 coverage I've ever seen on TV. I'll set my DVR to record all these episodes.

Not a bad show, and although she 's a good five footer, I suspect she's had a buncha work - - the guy is an absolute dickwad with a Mister T starter kit around his neck- typical NY transplant to South Florida and trying to be a player.

Interesting show -disingenuous characters -mediocre cars at high prices.

Just wait until they get divorced- then it might get interesting.

That flame job Vette has been advertised for about a year now. The guy buys/trades and sells classic's. I believe he is down in dania beach. He gets some celebrity's and football players coming in making purchases.

When the wife and I were in Miami last month, I think we saw a new showroom off of I95. First time I ever noticed the signs.

KevinG, Thanks for the heads up. I'm taping and it's on 281 on Direct TV.
They have a few other shows that look car related like muscle cars etc.
