[phone ringing]
RICHARD ELLIS (ON PHONE): Hello?
Richard, I take it you got the photos, man.
RICHARD ELLIS: Yes, I did. You weren't kidding.
[laughs]
I thought you'd freak out when you got those pictures.
RICHARD ELLIS: Yeah. [laughs]
[laughs] OK.
So what do you think, Richard?
MIKE WOLFE: It is.
There's no rust in it, man.
Did you get the shot to the interior?
[laughter]
Yeah, they've got some parts that they've accumulated.
What is it missing besides the hood?
The hood, and the major thing that's missing
is the inertial reels on the roll bar.
Somebody stole those years ago.
But basically, everything for the interior's there.
What do you think it would cost to restore
this car to where it should be, to bring
the money that it should?
OK.
Well, I know.
But are you talking a couple of grand
if it was a numbers matching car?
Because they have a 428, but it's
not a numbers-matching engine to the car.
That's what I was thinking.
I was thinking Joe Dirt special, man.
(LAUGHING) Yeah.
Drivable.
All right, Richard, well, these guys
have had an offer on this car before for 75 grand.
Two or three weeks ago, somebody was at 75K.
And the guy prior to that was a 75K.
Yes.
So that seems to be the number where
people need to land to even--
--make it worthwhile.
Yeah, start massaging it.
Yeah.
Joe Dirt special, man.
Yeah.
All right, buddy.
Well, we appreciate your knowledge.
And we appreciate you getting back with us.
Thank you, Richard.
Talk to you soon.
Bye-bye.
That seems to be the number, 75K.
And that's the number you guys have turned down twice.
Yes, but let us think about it a little while,
if you don't mind. - No, I get it.
I mean, you know, you guys have a relationship with it.
It's been in your family for a very long time.
Yeah, it's like a-- it's a family heirloom now, you know.
It's been around long enough.
The number I had in my head was 75 grand.
But they've already passed on that number twice.
It kills me to walk away from something like this, as rare
as it is, as cool as it is.
But after talking to Richard on the phone, him doing the math,
none of it makes sense.
Yeah, I mean, we appreciate you letting us take everything
off it to where you can actually see it because it
is pretty unbelievable, man.
I'm glad to see it again myself.
All right.
Let's help load some of this stuff back on here.
Might sound crazy turning down an offer
for a $75,000 car that's been sitting
there basically 35 or 40 years.
But, you know, it's a big decision to make.
So I understand people would say,
hey, this guy is a total idiot.
But, you know, the love for the rare cars--
[inaudible]
Man, I tell you what, I very much appreciate you guys.
This day has turned out completely opposite from what
I ever could imagined.
And we go to buy a neon sign.
And then Jersey John and I are looking
at a Shelby GT 500 in a barn.
It's been an epic day.
- Y'all have a safe trip. - All right.
Thank you. Take care.
See you guys.
MIKE WOLFE: I truly believe there's
a reason for everything.
And maybe the reason we were here
today was to uncover the car and let them fall in love with it
again.
Maybe now they'll take this car across the finish line
and give it the life that it deserves again.
[horn honks]
Shelby GT [inaudible]. - Yes.
RICHARD ELLIS (ON PHONE): Woo-hoo!
