01x02 - Less Mustang, More Problems

[bunniefuu]

You bought the car with 300 bucks,
and it had all the parts.

Most of them.

Your friend dropped it off
and he's bringing us the parts.

- When?
- No.

He's not bringing us no parts, Mike.
He took the parts. The parts are gone.

Get this thing in
and see what it'll take to fix it.

God dang it.

God.

Oh jeez.

We're supposed to make money
on these cars this summer,

not lose our a*s.

Yup.

Y'all clear?

- Yeah.
- All right, Jenicio.

You're the driver.
Just don't hit the shop door.

The trunk opened!
I can't see anything.

Got no brakes!

I'm really excited
to build this Mustang.

The Mustang's America's sweetheart.
She's America's princess.

However, it looks like
the guys just got the glass slipper

and left the
princess in the desert.

Restoring a vintage Mustang
when you have everything that you need

can take a few weeks.

But now, on top of that,
we have to source the parts,

which not only costs
way more in the States,

it can take a
few months to find.

And we do not
have the time for that.

Ugh.
Okay, let's grab our toolboxes.

Let's get it torn down.

We need to get on the horn
and order some parts.

But we need to know
what we're doing first.

Yeah, I know the
quarters are bad.

There's a lot of rust,
and Bondo in here I'm concerned about.

- Miguelito, what's the verdict?
- We need everything.

We need a truck and trailer.
This is why our stuff gets stolen.

Look, I'm working on it,
but now we just got to deal with this.

I honestly hate to say it,

but at 300 bucks,
that's still a good deal.

We're still good, man.

It's an iconic car,

but the reason it's iconic
is because they made a million of them.

The way I see it, we
can do something crazy to set it apart,

but that could thin
out potential buyers.

Or we could just go
with a traditional badass restoration

and try to set
off a bidding w*r.

We will build you…
a badass little '66 coupe.

Here's what I think.
The straight-six has got to go.

- We need a V8 in this car. We need power.
- A hundred percent.

And we should go with a late-model
transmission for gas mileage.

- And it'll broaden our spectrum of buyers.
- Yeah.

As for the body,
we'll have to cut out a bunch of rust,

which means we'll have to get
new panels and a new hood.

But we're also going
with a custom suspension,

custom wheels, and
a bright red interior.

So what you gonna get for it?

High 30s, low 40s,
if you twist their arm, 45.

Okay, with the new parts,

we're going to be all in
at about $25,000 on this.

So if we can make
a 12-to-15-thousand-dollar profit,

Scooter may just get
his a*s out of the doghouse.

The better the product,
the easier it'll be to hit that number.

Scooter needs to find us some parts,
and I'm gonna help him.

Now, let's build a
badass Mustang.

- Let's go.
- Let's do this.

I can get this
windshield out for you guys.

Well, go ahead, Karate Kid.

These aren't coming out.
Wes, you're gonna have to cut this.

There's gonna be a
lot of patch panels,

and even all the
bolts on the dash

that were up here and right here
were already all rusted in.

- Seems like it's going to be a lot to do.
- Would be nice if we had the parts.

So this is your guy?

This is El Padrino,
The Godfather. I know this guy, man.

And he usually has a bunch of cool parts.
Maybe he has the parts we're looking for.

I hope so.

- Oh, look! An El Camino. Hey!
- We don't need El Caminos.

- We need Mustang parts.
- Let's see if he's home.

Godfather! Good morning!

- We are looking for parts for a Mustang.
- Mustang?

'66 Mustang.
Do you have any?

- Mustang. Yes. Inside there.
- Where do we enter?

This way. Through
this little door here.

- ¡Gracias!
- Thank you.

El Padrino, he's a living legend
around this area.

For every three parts you're looking for,
he's got one that really works.

Parts in the U.S. will
be more expensive,

but if you know the right people,
at least you won't get robbed.

Your friends
literally robbed you.

We're gonna explore.

I feel like
I'm in a steel metal jungle.

- Feels like a damn maze.
- Oh, look!

- That's a front knuckle for a Mustang.
- This is heavy.

Bumper brackets
we're definitely gonna need.

That actually looks decent.

- Let's walk.
- All right.

Hey, check it out.
Dinosaurs, look!

- Scooter, come on!
- Okay.

Sometimes the biggest part of my job
is keeping this guy focused.

He's got the attention
span of a goldfish.

I'm right here next to you.
I can hear you.

I know. You're literally touching me,
which I'm not a big fan of.

Oh,
look! A Mustang!

That thing is worse than the one
we have, and it's probably $3,000.

- The hood looks decent, no?
- Uh, look again.

- Oh.
- We do need some doors though.

These look pretty decent.

I think this might work
on our Mustang. I really do.

You know what?
We might not have found everything,

but we're getting
pretty damn close.

So, we got the
shocks, steering stuff.

The seats.

The shifter,
bumper braces, headers,

two doors, two drums,
and two hood hinges.

Let's see how much it is.

- Yes, let's go talk to the man.
- Let's do it.

There's the man right there.

These are the parts,
more or less… of what they wanted.

Uh-huh.

You got the money?

Do I got my pants on?

- $650
-Six-fifty?

- Six hundred and fifty.
- Man.

- I can't argue with that. We'll take it.
- Okay.

- Sounds good.
- There you go.

Thank you, guys.

- Thank you, guys.
- We appreciate your business.

I know we paid over twice
what we would have in Mexico,

but still 650 bucks for these parts,
that's a steal of a deal.

Is the circus in town?

Ándale.

Look what we got you fellas.

So nice.

- What do you think?
- I love it! '69 C10.

- Sixty-nine C10.
- Yeah. Short bed.

This is right up our alley.

- My dad came. Gilbert.
- Pleasure to meet y'all.

- Hey, Gilbert.
- Nice to meet you, Gilbert.

- Where did this stuff come from?
- This is my truck.

- Oh.
- But out of the kindness of my heart…

- Uh-huh.
- …I'm donating it to...

That means something
has to get fixed.

Calm down. Time-out.
Well, she runs like a pearl.

- Okay.
- And look at the trailer.

- Gilbert got us a trailer.
- Very nice trailer.

I just traded some work for it.
You guys can have it.

Now Gilbert knocks
it out of the park.

Jump on it!

Will this work for you?
Y'all can load with it?

My God! This is
such a good gift, man.

Dude, your dad's pretty awesome.

Thank you, Gilbert.

- Thank you, Gilbert.
- We appreciate it.

It's ready to go, man.
You guys go get some cars.

Oh yeah.

Let's get to work.
Those new Mustang parts are waiting.

So, the Mustang's
coming together.

The doors Scooter and Rabbit got
from the Godfather's were in good shape.

Now we'll get them on the body
and see how everything lines up.

How's it open and
close? Like a dream?

Well, I wouldn't go that far.

We got the door gapped out.

We're gonna get
the outer wheel tub in,

the quarter panel,
just see how everything's fitting.

It's one of the first things
serious buyers look for.

If the lines aren't perfect,

it can mean the car was in a bad wreck,
or it was a sloppy restoration, or both.

I think that's about
as good as it's gonna get.

- For now.
- For now.

These are aftermarket parts.
They hardly ever fit right.

So there's usually
modifications that have to be made.

I think it's pretty good.
Look at the back.

- I like it.
- Yeah.

We'll get it all ground down.
Should make the bodywork easy for Mike.

The floor pans on this car
are pretty bad.

We don't want anybody
falling through the floor.

Oh man.

I found rust underneath it.

This thing is extra crusty.

Rust is like a cavity.

You got to keep digging
till you get it all out.

- This just turned into a lot of work.
- Yeah.

- We'll find some cars, man.
- Make me a believer, bud.

I got a good lead-up
on some nice classics.

This is your neck of the woods.

I'm like a car whisperer,
but you'll see.

Uh, you're something.

So back home, I'm all over the internet.
Looking at listings.

No. We don't use
the internet over here, man.

We're like, "I got a
lot of acquaintances,

family members, a lot of friends,
a lot of friends of a friend of a friend."

I'm good, bud.

On the internet, you don't know
who you're dealing with.

And if you get scammed,
at least you know who's doing it, right?

Uh, most of my sources,
they're very reliable, man.

There's an estimated
1.5 million people living in Juárez,

and with that many eyes,
people see things, including classic cars.

So I've spent years building
this network of sources.

And if a vehicle exists in Juárez,
I will find it.

Goodness, gracious. You know back home,
you know what we call this?

- What?
- A pig trail.

"A pig trail." I could go
for some pig tacos right now.

- Oh, man.
- Some...

- Know what I could go for?
- Carnitas.

- Have you had carnitas?
- Some asphalt.

Asph...
Ay, cabrón.

Jenicio and I have been busting
our butt the last two or three days

to get the Mustang
ready to paint.

We got the hose, here.

So far, we've got all
the bodywork done.

Just like the car,

a lot of the parts that we got
from the Godfather were pretty rusty,

and we don't ever
want it to come back.

So, the goal is to
seal everything up.

I'm gonna hit it
with a coat of super build,

which is like a high-build primer,
and then into the paint booth.

All right, time to finally get
some paint on this Mustang.

There are a
lot of Mustangs out there.

We really need the paint job
to be super nice, super straight,

and stick out above the rest,
because that's what will sell this car.

I chose to go with a wolf gray
to bring it into the 21st century.

It's an old car.
It's a classic.

You're not going to see one in this color.
It's a hot color right now.

The cool thing about the wolf gray
is it's got a lot of pearl and metallic.

And when you see it in the sun,
it really has a lot of pop to it.

- Further up the road, you see it?
- Yeah.

- A car lot right there.
- Let's see what they got.

Let's
pull over. Let's go.

I got my name
at a place just like this.

- Really?
- Yes.

- First day… nine cars.
- You sold nine cars on your first day?

I sold nine cars my first day.

We had a dry-erase board,
and we'd write our name.

The guy that owned
the place walks in

and sees Robert written all sloppy
on the board.

- He goes, "Who is rabbit?"
- Rabbit.

The next day it was on my office,
and it stuck.

Oh man. Oh, look!

Look.

Looks pretty straight, huh?

I think it'd be a
cool quick flip.

You know what
this is right here?

It's a 1964 Comet Caliente.

Caliente.

I like the name of it.

The Comet Caliente
was a welcomed addition

to the emerging muscle car market
in the mid-1960s.

Released under
Ford's Mercury banner,

the Caliente was for buyers seeking
a combination of thrilling performance

and luxury.

But Mercury took a different approach
to muscle car marketing

by hyping the Comet's insane durability
along with its performance.

To prove it, they
put four Calientes

through a rigorous trial
at Daytona Speedway,

breaking more than 100 speed
and distance records in the process.

That durability
clicked with buyers,

and the Comet Caliente became
a popular daily driver in Mexico.

Today, the Comet is seen
as a classic throwback to the '60s,

with top restorations
fetching upward of $25,000.

Just here checking out the car.

- Yes. Take a look.
- Can we open the hood?

- This is a very good car.
- "Let's see," said the blind man.

Small block Ford.
Tell him to fire it up.

It runs all right.

It pulls well.

- This car is very good.
- It's smooth, isn't it?

Ask him how much
for this $7,500 car?

We are offering $7,500.

No!

He says, "No."

- $11,000 is the least.
- Okay.

I don't speak Spanish.
But negotiating with a car dealer?

That's my first language.

First step, you
lowball. Why not?

A Comet in this condition in the States
could go for 20 grand easily.

But here in Mexico, I think,
we can get a whole lot cheaper than that.

We've had it since '64.

Okay, let me tell him.

He says that he won't take
less than 11,000.

And they've owned
this car since 1964.

Keep in mind where we're at.
It's a car lot story.

My mother's driven every car
I've ever sold.

Eighty-five hundred.

- How about $8,500?
- Oh, no.

No. Forget it.

- Are you sure?
- Yeah.

He
Says, "Forget it."

I guess they do things
a little differently around here.

He's pulling the old walk-away move.
This guy knows how to hardball.

You know, we're not desperate.

I mean, we spent all day
looking for a car to buy

and I don't wanna come home
with an empty basket.

No, wait a second.
Come on over here.

We're gonna negotiate.
Let me see how we can work this out.

Ten and a half.

Ten and a half?

- He says ten-five.
- Tell him, we'll give ten grand for it.

- Ten thousand dollars? Okay.
- And that's all.

How about $10,000?

Yes, okay.

Thanks.

We didn't get the Comet
for nearly as low as I'd have liked.

But I did learn a valuable lesson
about negotiating

with car dealers in Mexico.

You've got to use a
whole new playbook.

-Okay
-Gracias.

Okay. Let's go.

- I'll bring it up.
- You'll drive it up?

Okay, go for
it. Thank you!

- You're not loading?
- He insisted. Why not take the free help?

That's enough.

Good thing
we can haul our own cars now.

If we had to depend
on any more of your friends,

we'd be out of business
by the end of the week.

Yes, good. Very good.

Oh yeah.

Go, go, go, Rabbit.

When you import a car
from Mexico, they have a 25-year rule,

which says, if
a vehicle is 25 years or older,

it can easily and legally
be imported into the U.S.

if you claim it as a collectible.
And you avoid a lot of the red tape

the new vehicles deal with.

So that's one reason
why we got into this business.

Oh man.

So, I know this isn't the best time,
but I really have to go to the bathroom.

I'm feeling it.
I'm feeling my stomach gurgle.

Hey, guys. They're here.
Let's see what they brought us.

- Look at that!
- Whoo!

That's not bad.

Nice!

Whoo!

The Comet has arrived, guys.

Y'all did good.

- You likey?
- Man, this is nice, Rabbit.

1964 Comet Caliente.

You said you wanted good stuff?
We brought you good stuff.

This thing is gorgeous.

It's got a rock chip.

Are you really nitpicking
a 60-year-old car?

I'm just pointing out
that it has a rock chip.

You're ugly.
I didn't say anything.

- Oh man.
- No, it's a nice car.

- Does it run?
- Like a top.

Check out under the hood.

- All right.
- All right.

Yeah, a little 289.

- Three-oh-two.
- Really?

Later model,
serpentine belt setup,

electronic ignition,
four-barrel carb.

- There's nothing to hide.
- Well…

- Nothing to hide, sir.
- Whoo!

- Yeah, dude.
- What happened in there?

- What?
- It smells like a burnt diaper.

Got my eyes watering.

- Did you smell something?
- Open the doors.

How can you not smell that?

Stick your head in there.

- You've smelled his aftersh… Oh God.
- Oh…

Yeah, as soon as you open it.

- Close 'em up, close 'em up.
- Shut it. Shut it.

- You guys didn't smell this?
- The windows were down.

I've never even
sat in this thing.

- How did it get in the trailer?
- The man offered to put it up.

For a reason.

There's something that died in this car.
We can't sell it if it smells like this.

It's a little gamy,
but nothing a little airing out

and a little cleanup won't fix.

How much was it?

We paid ten thousand.

So, another three or four grand.
What do you think we'll get?

- Think we can get in the 20s?
- We can get close to mid-20s.

I think you're right.

A lot of American buyers
love these old cars,

but hate the factory suspension.

So if we throw three
or four grand at her

to add coilovers
for a smoother, more enjoyable ride,

some sparkling new tires,
and the deepest, shiniest detail job,

then we should easily be able to attract
someone looking for that classic cruiser.

- It smells rancid, guys.
- Rancid.

This should be a quick flip,

and I say "should"
because God knows what that smell is.

If it's serious enough that we need
to replace some interior components,

we could be looking at a lot of time
and money spent.

It's not that bad.
It's kind of bad, but...

- It's an old car!
- Not that bad?

- You said it's not that bad, right?
- No, it's not that bad.

Why don't we make a deal.

If you clean the car,
we'll be even for the Mustang parts.

- Extract and shampoo the car.
- Get in there and get it off the trailer.

All right, let's
get back to work.

This thing stinks.

Let's set the thing in here.

We're finally ready
to install this V8 engine,

replacing the inline-six.

The upgrades are fierce on this.

We wanted to beef it up, right?

Definitely. Can't be a muscle car
without the muscle.

Now, slow and steady.

You don't want
any fast drops today?

Not today.

That look you just gave me.

So, the V8 stroker motor
we paid about 8,000 for.

This engine has about 440 horsepower,
which is a huge increase,

especially compared to the inline-six
that we took out that only had 200 horses.

So this will definitely put this vehicle
at a different level.

Our goal is to get
over 40,000 for this car.

Oh, it's gotta come this way.
Like, this way.

That's gonna put this off
a little bit here.

So we're way off on this side.

How is that?

But our engine mount over here
and the strut tower is…

The strut tower?

The strut tower brace that goes down
where the engine mount hooks,

under the saddle.
Come take a look at it.

- All I hear is money.
- Look at that.

Oh, wow.

It's not square. We
have a very large gap on this side.

This is a strut tower…

Needs to be pulled
out this direction.

This is way off.

You want your engine level,

but you also have to have
a three-degree angle tilted to the rear.

If it's not sitting at
the proper angle,

the engine oil will not get
to the rear of the engine properly,

and the engine could lock up.

Our names are attached to these,
so we want to build these cars proper.

All right.
I guess we gotta take it back out.

Smells like dead rabbit in here.
A dirty job, but someone's gotta do it.

Clean as a baby's bottom.

Rabbit and I are no strangers
to bad smells in used cars.

Anything that's almost 60 years old
is going to have some weird smells.

The way I'm dressed,
this isn't so dramatic

because I don't wanna get home
and smell like…

What's my family gonna say?
"Don't you work, like, selling cars?"

"Or do you
work at the zoo?"

I'm gonna get this car so clean.
The g*ng are gonna thank me for it.

I'm not looking for a pat on the back,
but, you know, a nice raise would be good.

Okay.

This car still reeks.

Ay caramba.

The bolt went in.

- That's a good sign.
- Oh.

We were struggling

with this engine mount issue
on the passenger side.

We had that gap,

and we have come to figure out

that we actually had two left mounts
instead of a left and a right.

So Wes now is putting this in,
and it took a minute to figure that out.

That does happen
with parts sometimes.

Sometimes, you'll get a right fender
when it's marked left.

They slip by sometimes
when you're in a hurry.

Ooh. We dodged a
b*llet on that one.

Let's get this wiring buttoned up.
I'll finish the fuel system.

I'm ready to hear it run,

and I know Mike is dying
to give it a test drive.

- Let's do it.
- Okay.

Gonna need
some help on this one.

Hoo!

I spent hours detailing this car
and it still reeks.

We're gonna have to go deeper,

and I need someone that can get
into the farthest corners of this car

without breaking anything.

I think we need to
start opening this up

and seeing if something fell
in the dash or in a vent.

This car has a gorgeous interior,
and you're tearing it apart.

I swear, if he
cleans like he talks...

I cleaned that. The
whole car is clean!

You're k*lling me.

It looks
like this area is clear.

We gotta take
this back seat out.

- Oh yeah.
- Pull it!

- I thought you had muscles.
- I do.

- Whoo!
- Oh!

Ooh hoo hoo hoo!

- You see...
- I'm not touching it.

- Are you seeing what I'm seeing?
- No. It's all you.

I don't know what that is.

- Ugh, what the hell is that?
- Get it out of the car, Scooter!

Ay cabrón.

Do rabbit eat fish?

No.

Ugh.

Let's get
this Mustang buttoned up.

Make it fabulous.

It's all the details
that'll make or break a good restoration.

- We're almost home free.
- I like it.

All right,
Mike. She's all yours.

Man, that looks sick.

I had to take our wild Mustang
out for a test drive before selling it,

and I gotta say
I absolutely love this car.

We added a V8 347 stroker motor

which gave it
a monstrous 440-horsepower boost,

replaced her shoes
with 18-inch billet wheels

and five-lug disc brakes,

installed a throwback red leather interior
with modern instrumentation,

and my personal favorite,
the wolf gray coating,

which highlights the wild spirit
of this fully restored classic.

Taming our Mustang was a challenge,
but she's finally ready to ride.

Rabbit better find someone
who loves this car as much as I do.

This car's gonna look ten times better
with newer tires and wheels.

I noticed the car looked like it
might have been leaning to one side,

so I decided to install
coilovers on the Comet.

They're adjustable,

so you have a special wrench
that can move it up or down.

You give somebody a choice where you can
raise or lower the coilovers,

it broadens our horizons
to who we can sell the car to, I think.

There we go.

So that's our shock.

Wes?

What's going on?

I got the shock out on this side,
and I got to get the spring out.

Yeah,
we don't want to lose any teeth.

Teeth, digits.

Yeah, I guess let's pull this off,
and I'll get a bar through there.

- At least keep it from flying out.
- Okay.

The coil springs are no joke.

They're under a lot of tension,
and if they're not loosened properly,

they could fly apart
and cause damage.

You could lose a
limb or even worse.

It can get nasty.

Now the exciting part.

- Here we go.
- I felt that.

- There…
- I got it.

It's hopped.

There's one
down. Nobody died.

- Thank you.
- Ah.

- Now, let's get this new shock in.
- All right.

How's it going?

Oh, it's going.

So, I threw some ads on Marketplace
for the Mustang and the Comet,

and our inbox is blowing up.

I may have a potential buyer
on the hook for this thing.

That's a good thing.

We get it sitting right,
driving tight, the sale's in sight.

Make it rhyme anytime.

I love Wes 'cause
he always laughs at my jokes.

I'd like you
more if you did too.

Have fun guys.

All right.

How you guys doing, man?

- I'm Scooter.
- Good to meet you. Z.

Nice to meet you.

- Nice to meet you.
- Nice to meet you. Scooter.

To get the word out
on this Mustang, we put out a local ad,

and we got a ton of interest.

We have a good product,
and not only did we bring it back.

Just make it run. It's
a badass Mustang.

Here it is,
first-generation Mustang.

It's definitely the
style I'm looking for.

We got upgraded brakes.

This car's got
that classic old-school vibe,

but all the modern conveniences.

It's beautiful, no lie.

If you could do
something like this in black…

A V8 right now with the gas prices?
I'm not too crazy about that.

Yeah, but this isn't exactly a car
you drive every day. This is a toy.

I'll be honest with you,
this car with a V8

is kind of American tradition.

- This is a custom color.
- Okay.

It could be repainted black,
but it would almost kind of be a crime.

- What are you asking for?
- We're asking 45 for this car.

How low would you go?

- Thirty-five.
- That's good, man. That's good.

Think about it.

I'm thinking about 30.

- And you want a black car for 30,000?
- Yes.

So, I think we're gonna be
a little too far apart

from what you're wanting
versus what we're trying to do.

I can't do it, buddy.
I gotta be honest with you.

We're too far apart.

Finding the right customer is like looking
for that right baseball glove.

You just gotta
find that perfect fit.

Sometimes, you got to hold out.

- Her 16th birthday is coming up.
- Sweet sixteen, huh?

She's into these
kind of classic cars.

And this is the exact model
that she was looking at.

- I love it. That's parenting done right.
- Yes.

It warms my heart to see

the younger generations
loving these classics.

I like the outside.

A big fan of the red.

Oh, I love that red.

I want you to hit
that switch right there.

That's the 347 V8 right there.

- You can feel it. You can feel the power.
- Oh yeah.

This is awesome.

What are you looking to spend
for a classic Mustang?

Oh man. Yeah. Maybe, 35?

- Thirty-five.
- All right.

We're a little far
apart, but not too far.

We're sitting
about 45 in our car.

That's what we're asking.
This is a fresh restoration.

This thing's days old.

What about… 40?

And it's for her 16th birthday?

Yes, sir, it is.

That smile.

That smile's my weakness.

You know what? You
just bought yourself a Mustang, sir.

- Thank you.
- Congratulations.

Sounds good.

I think this is an
extremely fair price.

Coupe Mustangs, they
made a bunch of them.

So 40 grand's really good money
for that car.

It's a gorgeous day
here in the Sun City,

and it's gonna be a great night to cruise
around a little classic Mustang.

- All right. That's it.
- That's what I'm screaming.

- Right?
- Sitting good. Big rollers.

Straight as a banjo string
and cleaner than a preacher's suit.

The team did a fantastic job
restoring this Comet with some small,

but very important upgrades.

We polished up that seafoam green paint,
got it shining like a diamond.

Detail cleaned the inside.

Then traded the expired fish market odor
for that new car smell.

Threw on those beautiful
18-inch wheels,

and with those new coilovers,
we got this thing sitting right.

This is one classy quick flip.

20 years from now
this'll still be a badass ride.

- I agree.
- Time to meet our buyer.

- Go.
- Let me out, Mom.

All
right, yep. Yep.

How're you doing?

It's a beauty.

- Nice to meet you. Rabbit.
- Hi!

- Rosana, nice to meet you.
- Nice to meet you, ma'am.

Quite stunning.

It's a great all-around
custom cruiser.

So, can you picture yourself
in this classic?

I'm really interested on getting
something special for my partner,

so it's not a car for me.

So it's for somebody special.

This is a special car
for someone special.

She's purchasing
this car for her partner.

Well, you know, you gotta switch gears,
because now you're not selling her a car.

You need to sell her a car

her partner's gonna like.
So you need to feel her out.

Who is this special someone,
if you don't mind me asking?

He's very particular.

He likes nice things that are restored
to how they should have been.

This is an original car.

With everything we did,

this old thing went
from the girl next door to the prom queen.

You know, it's still a used car
at the end of the day,

and there's some things
that we might need to restore.

This isn't just a used car though.
This is a collector car.

- This is an investment for him.
- Yeah.

We're sitting
about 14K all-in on this Comet.

Is it perfect?
No, but it's pretty damn close.

I'd love to land over 20.
I know it's a quick flip,

but at this point in the game
we have to make every swing count.

What do you think about $18,000?

See, we're gonna be a little far
apart. I'm at 26.

Ouch.

This isn't a car that your buddy next door
is gonna have one just like it.

Okay.

There's probably
not another one in this town.

Work my way a little.

So maybe I could do, like, 20?

Still not enough, though.

I like even numbers.
But I'll tell you what, it's hot.

I heard they got
an excellent milkshake I wanna try.

Twenty-two thousand
is my bottom number.

He's gonna have one
of the nicest '64 Comets in Texas.

Um…

- Okay, I think you have a deal.
- Love it.

I'll buy you a milkshake,
and we'll get everything put together.

I think settling at 22,000
was a phenomenal deal.

We scored a nice 7, 8,000-dollar profit
easy in this car.

Everybody wants to talk about home runs
and these big deals they did.

At the end of the day, what keeps
the lights on is these base hits.

Hey, guys.

- Congratulations.
- Yee-hee!

- Cheers, guys! To selling our fourth car.
- I know, yeah.

Ching. Yeah,
look at this.

We can afford to eat
something besides sandwiches.

- And beans.
- Thank God.

So, now that we've done so well in cars,
maybe we should go with a truck?

I'm thinking bigger.
I think we do a Bronco, guys.

So, you're talking big four-wheel-drive.
Big tires, big lift.

You're talking big money.

Right, but we also
get big money in the end.

I can check with my contacts.
What year are we looking for?

- First-gens.
- '68?

That's the good year.

- Yes.
- '61 to '74.

There you go.

That's something
we need to look at.

I've got a few wealthy, high-end buyers.
If we build a nice baby Bronco,

- we might put a six-figure deal together.
- That'd be amazing.

- We're in agreeance?
- Yup.

- Bronco?
- Yeah.

- Can you get your guy on the horn?
- Yeah, I can. Yes, yes.

Awesome.

If there's a good Bronco lead,
we'll jump on it right away.

All right, guys.

What we need to look at
is how Mike's taking all the food.

Good Lord, son,
you got all the food down there.

- You're supposed to be on a diet.
- Always on a diet.

- Tubby, wanna pass me a wing?
- No.

Right
here. I believe so.

Let's check it out.

I wanna tell you something. The only thing
I see around here is firewood and sand.

Scooter got in touch with his network,
and he came through, potentially.

They found us an early Bronco.

And of course,
as always, it's shady as hell.

But if there's a vintage Bronco
behind that fence,

it's definitely worth it.

I see something.

- What do you think?
- That's an early Bronco.

What year?

'68 to '74?

Think it's worth a shot?

The thing is, they're bad about rust,
and it looks rough, but it's worth a shot.

We gotta get a better look at this thing.
Where's the guy?

Not sure.

I called him on the way down,
but no answer.

¡Buenos días!

Anyone home?

Good morning!

Anybody home?

What if we try the front door?

I don't think they have one.

Well, this sucks.

We don't know where this guy is,

and I'd rather not piss away all our time
if this Bronco's a total bust.

Is it worth the wait?

I'm not about to jump
somebody's fence in Juárez to find out.

- Hey, don't we got a drone?
- Yes.

Don't you have a drone?

- Yeah, we got a drone.
- Cool.

Let's get it up in the air.

- Are you serious?
- Absolutely.

All
right, man, so…

There you go.

There's somebody over there.

Somebody's there.

Oh…

Ah!

He's swinging a machete.
Talk to him.

Señor!
Buenos días!
