MIKE WOLFE: All right. Here it is there.
ROBBIE WOLFE: This is it right here.
MIKE WOLFE: There are some old cars.
ROBBIE WOLFE: Oh, I love that.
I see this truck.
It's a 1947 Chevy.
Look at the chrome coming off the front end.
I am just in love.
That Chevy's really nice, dude.
Really good.
MIKE WOLFE: Then you need to ship it all the way from here.
When you see a full lot of vintage collector cars,
it's a good sign.
That means the guy is a collector.
But the thing is, they don't want to sell.
I don't want Robbie to get too jacked
up on something he can't buy.
Howdy.
Hey, I'm Mike.
- I'm Dave. - Nice to meet you.
Rob.
Mostly what I do is run a recycling business.
Can we look around in here?
Yeah, sure.
Dave cracks open the barn door, and we look inside.
And there's a lot of stuff in there.
Right away I'm seeing cars.
I'm seeing bicycles.
I'm seeing some advertising signs.
I mean, this guy must've picked everything on this island.
What about that speaker there?
Where did this come out of? Have a look, Robbie.
DAVE: I don't know.
Probably a restaurant, I would guess, or someplace.
Uh-huh.
To me, music has always told a story.
And the way this speaker looks, it represents
the heart and soul of that.
How much is something like that?
Hm.
I don't know.
I'm thinking like 20 bucks.
I don't know.
I'd probably sell that for 30 bucks.
It's got a cool look to it.
This would look great up on the wall.
Yeah, that's another one of those,
"someday I'll put a speaker in it."
30 bucks.
We broke the ice.
And there's this.
What about this?
What's the deal on that?
That looks hand painted.
When I was a kid, there was a guy who had a grocery store
here that also sold dynamite.
So the dynamite was stacked right next to the grain.
So the guy at the grocery store sold dynamite?
Yep
All it does is take me back to the days
when I used to blow things up with firecrackers.
I'm thinking to myself, this is a great piece.
"Flammable" on the other side.
Yep.
Explosives.
Does that got a name on it?
50 bucks is the name on that one.
ROBBIE WOLFE: 50?
It's pretty cool.
I'd probably do 40.
Well, then you'd probably do 45.
[laughter]
He's got your number.
ROBBIE WOLFE: I got it.
45.
OK.
Thanks, man.
Mike and I have driven all this way,
but we still haven't found that big item that's
going to take us over the top.
I keep thinking about that '47 Chevy.
I can't get it out of my mind.
Hey, Dave.
Yeah?
That '47?
Yeah.
You didn't tell me it had a name, that's for certain.
I'm know that. - No, it doesn't have a name.
No name?
Game on.
Is that something you might be interested in selling?
Yeah, I suppose I would.
This pick has just taken a huge turn.
The cars that were NFS--
Not For Sale-- this truck could be the one that is for sale.
There it is.
Here's the money shot right here.
"Cope's Mobil."
ROBBIE WOLFE: Look at that.
It says "gas" on here.
Ho, look at this, Robbie.
It's got the Pegasus.
When I look at a truck like this, I see its entire life--
the hard work, the romance, the rust and dirt, the open road.
This is an amazing piece.
Let's hear this thing run.
Crank it up.
OK.
[engine turning over]
Is that the gas?
Yep.
That's the [inaudible].
Oh, there you go.
Almost, almost.
This thing won't start.
But you can tell, it's almost there.
It wants to start.
I wonder if it's getting gas.
Here, hold that up.
Dave, let's do it old school way.
You've got a chain?
Sure.
Another vehicle?
DAVE: Yeah, let's do that.
Let's pop start this baby. DAVE: That'd be the easy way.
Well, I'll tell you what.
Let's slow down here a little bit.
Robbie is really excited about this truck.
He needs to calm down, slow his roll.
We have no idea what he even wants for this thing yet.
What are you thinking on the truck?
I'd have to get 2,500 for it.
ROBBIE WOLFE: Dave wants $2,500.
Unless this thing sings like a Singer sewing machine, no way
in hell I'm going to pay that.
Let's get it started, and then we can talk about it.
I want to hear this thing run.
OK.
We have to pop start it.
Mike and I used to pop start his Volkswagen all the time.
This is going to be so cool.
MIKE WOLFE: Hit it, brother.
All right.
MIKE WOLFE: Yeah, start it in second.
Get it, get it, get it, get it, get it.
[rumbling]
Is it running?
There it goes. Is it running?
Whoa. It's running, isn't it?
Running!
[cheering]
All of a sudden, I pop that clutch,
I feel that engine start turning over.
It was like seeing 4th of July fireworks on Christmas morning.
It's smoking a little bit.
This sucker is firing.
It's not all the way there.
It's only on maybe three or four cylinders.
But it's running.
Everything looks solid.
Everything is there.
The radiator is not leaking, the engine is not blowing oil.
I mean, this is starting to look like a really good deal.
I'll tell you what, Dave.
We're going to have $1,000 in hauling this thing home.
On top of that, I don't really know
what's wrong with the motor.
It sounds like she was running on four cylinders.
I'm already calling it she.
I'm thinking about a name for it.
Yeah, you see, now you're naming stuff.
Charlie.
So?
You haven't made me an offer yet.
I mean, you were at 25.
Dave?
Yeah.
It's not very often things leave this island.
[laughter]
So I'm going to be at 1,800.
Well, 22.
I'll tell you what.
Two grand.
It'll be the first thing that leaves this island.
Well.
I guess, if you promise to give her or him
a good home, that'll work
All right.
OK.
Appreciate it, man.
Yeah.
It's a her with a him's name.
- A her with a him's name. - All right.
We like that.
I've gotta hand it to my little brother.
He really saved this pick.
He made coming all the way out to this island
totally worth it.
I don't want to have blinders on.
I don't want to pigeon hole myself.
But today, I kind of did.
I didn't ask about the truck, because he was a car guy,
he was a hot rod guy.
But I've bought a lot of things in the past because I asked.
Today I didn't do that.
My little brother showed me the light.
All we had to do was ask, and all we had to do
is ask for two grand.
Little girl.
Take care of my baby.
DAVE: There she goes.
ROBBIE WOLFE: This thing's a piece of art.
It's like folk art driving down the street.
It's a piece of history.
I am the man today.
I bought the 1947 Chevy truck for 2,000.
Mike's going to easily sell this for 6.
I'm going to make sure that I get my cut on this one.
All right.
ROBBIE WOLFE: All right, buddy.
Thanks for working with us.
You betcha, man.
- Appreciate it. - Thank you.
It's been fun.
I will miss looking out the window and seeing the '47 Chevy
sitting there.
But it's going to a good place where somebody will spend
some time and energy on it.
So I'm fine with it.
See you, Dave.
Thanks, Dave.
