Nice choice, Zev. Nice choice.

Is that really him, or just a look-alike?

I watched one episode of that show. I think you're lucky to get it delivered in less than 500 pieces.

He was a bit rough, but also said some things there that he did not say while there.

I also found it funny when he said "if he thinks he'll find damage.." and this after he asked me to inspect the car for damage.

Reality tv is not 100% real.

Thanks!

I suppose you might be able to watch it on A&E. Search for the episode Pain the Caboose. I did a quick search and came up with a few places to show the episode.

For only $1500, it's a no-brainer.

I just watched the episode. That unmistakable laugh is definitely Zev.

Nice purchase, Zev! Enjoy riding around in that. Hopefully it didn't need a lot more work to start.

I've never seen or even heard of the TV show. But I assume that is the shipping price only. Maybe those comments were jokes...

However, I've shipped cars before. $1500 is pretty cheap for that unless the distance shipped wasn't very far. In which case, I'd be driving the pristine baby home and the wife can drive the daily driver home behind me.

$1500 is the shipping charge.

It must be jokes cause I don't know many cars going for $1500.

Both the car and the shipping was much less than what was claimed on the show.

Thanks, Max! And everyone else, too. I always wanted a classic sporty car and was finally able to do it.

But the funny thing is - I just fit in it. The steering wheel almost touches my lap. I think with the top down I'll feel less cramped - at least I hope that will be the case.
