  • RICK: Corey likes to

  • on buying classic cars for himself.

  • But I like to buy them to make money for the shop.

  • So when a guy called me and told me he had a '33 Chevy,

  • me and Chum jumped at the chance to take a look.

  • Pretty cool car you got here.

  • Yeah, not bad.

  • 1933 Chevy Eagle sedan.

  • I can picture the old man driving this thing,

  • holding up traffic on the freeway for 30 minutes.

  • [old-fashioned horn blows]

  • JIM: There's not too many '33 Chevy Eagle

  • sedans riding around Las Vegas.

  • I did my research, and it looks like these cars

  • in this kind of condition, they're doing

  • anywhere from 17 to 20 grand.

  • I'm hoping the guys see my way and they pay my price.

  • CHUMLEE: Who would be driving around something like this?

  • RICK: This was a middle class family car.

  • It was inexpensive, reliable transportation.

  • I think this was the most popular car in 1933.

  • The '30s was an amazing decade for cars.

  • That's when car companies really started focusing

  • on making them look cool.

  • But they weren't exactly safe.

  • We're talking metal dashboards, no seat

  • belts, and next to no brakes.

  • Do you mind if I look under the hood and kick the tires?

  • JIM: No, go right ahead.

  • They surfaced the head, worked the valves.

  • Fresh gasket on it.

  • And they were easy to work on.

  • Like, the fuel filter with the glass lid on there,

  • you can see if your fuel filter needed cleaning.

  • JIM: Right. Right.

  • Yeah.

  • RICK: Do you mind if I look inside?

  • No, check it out.

  • These suicide doors were kind of a cool touch.

  • RICK: So did you guys do the interior or anything?

  • JIM: Previous owner, yeah.

  • This car has really been from the ground up restored.

  • And part of that was this awesome vinyl

  • interior that looks great.

  • Awesome?

  • That's the first time I ever heard awesome vinyl.

  • [laughs]

  • Can I fire it up?

  • Yeah.

  • It runs like a clock.

  • [music playing]

  • [car starts]

  • That's what I'm talking about.

  • 65 horsepower right there.

  • Actually, I'm impressed.

  • It fired right up.

  • Yeah.

  • Cars like this are sort of like artwork.

  • They can take a long time to sell.

  • But sometimes taking a risk is the only way to make a profit.

  • And I'm confident I can sell this thing for 20 grand.

  • All right. so how much you want for it?

  • I was hoping for somewhere between 17 to 20 grand.

  • OK.

  • You know, it looks like it would be worth a lot more.

  • But a lot of these were made.

  • Can I give you 12 grand for it?

  • God, I can't do 12.

  • I'd probably do 14 today.

  • CHUMLEE: Is it just me, or is this "Blues Brothers" guy

  • creeping you guys out?

  • RICK: [laughs]

  • CHUMLEE: I feel like he's watching me.

  • RICK: It's just you.

  • It's not creeping you out?

  • RICK: Not really.

  • So we'll settle at 13.5?

  • 14.

  • 13.5?

  • 13.7.

  • All right, 13.650.

  • 13.7--

  • 650.

  • 75.

  • No.

  • 650.

  • All right.

  • All right, I just got to hide it from my dad now.

  • Uh-oh.

  • Well, no, we're not actually hiding it.

  • We're just not showing it to him.

  • We're not telling him about it.

  • RICK: I'll have somebody in an hour to pick it up.

  • Great. Thanks so much.

  • Come on, Chum.

  • JIM: If I didn't have plans to move out of Vegas,

  • I probably wouldn't have pulled the trigger at this price.

  • But you know, he gets a deal, and it

  • leaves him room to make money.

RICK: Corey likes to
