This is actually on tv right now at the time ?

[@kurtklein4299]

Do the viewers a favor and do not bring back Frank Fritz for there are many of us to think he is too lazy and too cheap. He is dead weight to the show and Danielle and Robbie are both loved and are the obvious choices to replace Frank Fritz

[@kurtklein4299]

History Channel, a warning. The day you turn this show woke is the day I stopped watching it and I'm sure a lot of people feel the same way. This is the only show left that I will watch on the History Channel because of the wokeness. It's racist and disgusting

mike wolf shows a great passion for what he does. love the show.

I like how the car says “don’t ask” on the roof lol.

[@getchasome6230]

It says that in at lease two different spots too

[@jaguarstypecustom]

Probably due to the sunroof lol

[@bobhoward6676]

14K is nothing to Mike who probably makes 100K per episode. But to chop up and destroy a 33 Ford is NUTS

[@likkidixx]

100k per episode is not happening. Chop up?

[@deecook8393]

@@likkidixx I bet he makes very close to that. He has other ventures thanks to that show. His house is a mansion.

[@jbawz358]

Chopping the top on such a car is such a shame. Just leave it as it is. It' s perfectly beautiful as it was originally created and has the best drivability..

[@arktkt06]

Absolutely right. Spent so much time discussing how beautiful the lines were, then just butchered it. Such a shame

[@drewsmith8537]

Yup ruined the car

[@phyllisarrington7436]

And I thought seller was talking $1, 400 NOT 14K! LOL

[@MyRhythmDivine]

What really attracts me to this series is the fact that Mike finds all the good in people no matter how bad they can be. He always seems to find the shining star inside them and buffs it if it's dulled by the cruelty of life. I realize some of this is pure script and acting, but most if not all of the people they're buying stuff from are not professional actors, and one thing you can never fake is humanity, which Mike seems to bring out in people. Thank you for a very fun to watch series and a look not only into the world of history and old finds, but also into human nature and how a small act of kindness such as a smile and a handshake can make a person's rough attitude change 180 degrees.

$14k is way too much

[@felixsheldon2707]

He said the spare parts made it worth it, Mike knows=)

[@froey198033]

@George Kouts actually it is way to much. 10K would've been about max for the condition of that car the way it is. You said $65K fully restored. It would probably cost more than that finding all the parts and having it worked on so it wouldn't be worth it in the long run. 8 to 10K tops.

[@michaelmayolo]

@George Kouts lol ''14$ was not too much'' Get a clue!

[@timyowell4278]

14k for a 33 in that condition is absolutely ludicrous. I have a buddy of mine. He bought a 33. Running driving ready to go for 22k.

[@markreisen7038]

Then he got a BARGAINfor that truck. Sight unseen, that truck could be easily worth 10,0000-15,000 more than what he paid. These old Fords are getting harder and harder to find now days.

[@MrJohnwell4u]

I thought $1400.

[@Ben-Carr]

I would have thought $290 per gross ton.

[@kevinstephenson3880]

Nice save Frank and Mike!!

[@rickjones3258]

He could a countered with $9000 and probably got it.

didn't he mess his back up? or am i mixing people up.

What amazed me is that sitting right next to that 33 Ford was a 57 Chevy and nobody even looked at it, it looked like it was in better shape than the 33.

14,000? Wow..more like 1400

[@jontorrie2212]

@George Kouts well your awful offensive. I could walk out in the woods and find lots of old junk like that right now. But seriously...that thing will need at least 30-40 000 put into it. Maybe you'll profit maybe you won't.

[@kroulinka]

[@billywalker9223]

They should have paid a guy $100 to cut the tree. It would have been less drama.

[@bretthess6376]

$14,000 for a rusty piece of junk.When he said "fourteen" I thought he meant fourteen hundred. No way pal. And you did exactly what I expected pulling it out- just move the other junk out of the way and cut the tree down. Geez. I saw two other cars in better shape then this wreck that you totally ignored.

[@markreisen7038]

Mike happens to be a True Blue Ford guy and as it just so happens that if you watched the show for 10+ years like some of us , you may just know that.

[@YOUGOTIT210]

He waaaayyy over paid!

[@zacariasblanco9738]

They do this for a living he knows what the collectors want I'm not an expert but I've been working on cars since I was 12 I helped my older brother to flip cars back when you could make decent bucks doing it wish we would've kept the trans am's the z28 's the Buick regal T-type's which was a turbo factory equipped car pre-grand national so 14k for a rusty old car ain't nothing for what the right buyer will pay.

....you obviously don't know what you're lookin at, and cuz of that you have no idea wtf you're talkin about....

[@bretthess6376]

@@branon6565 While I agree that liberals are garbage, what I am looking at is a rusty piece of junk. It will cost at least $30,000 to restore it. With $14,000 purchase price and 25% car auction fee he'll have to get $60,000 out of it to break even. I doubt this is a $60,000+ car. Of course, I may be wrong. There's a lot of rich dumbbells in the world. However, I asked my motorhead neighbor, and he said it will take about two years to restore this car. He also doubted it will sell for $60,000 or more. So there it is.

That's the going rate for them in or around that condition. $14k is just stupid.
