Some one will buy it. The continuation Shelby Mustangs are going for big bucks at Barrett-Jackson. Seemingly unrealistic prices. I guess that is the spoils for starting your own business and being successfull. I'm just a working stiff myself. I could pay off my house with that kind of money.

I just really wouldn't want any of those cars that they finished in 7 days... too many short cuts taken for that kind of money, I think

Yeah....I seem to remember that Gambler 514 Mustang from the show being on Ebay. If I remember correctly, the description mentioned mechanical and paint problems.

You're correct SD64, the Gambler had major cooling issues and could only be driven for short amounts of time. The paint also wasnt top notch, but you shouldnt expect a show winning paint job in a two day period to paint the car.


Oh ya, I bet that car will sell within the first week that its available

the one that said that the car overheated after 10 minutes of runing and that the paint was somewhat ruined in certain areas since it had no time to dry up properly ... but other than that the car was O.K. ???? oh .... OOOOOOk ...

It will sell within the first week, but I still think 198,000 dollars is way too much for a car that was slapped together in a week

How much would Chip charge to do one right? $199,000??

I don't think this is a one week job, this is from an episode of Rides, not Overhauling.

I agree with the comment above - kind of a boring car, and I hate those stupid rims he uses. Call me old school - I'd rather have Crager's and L60's on my ride! Show me the rubber!
