  • Hey, what do we have here?

  • Parsons pump car that came out of my grandfather's garage.

  • That school.

  • You would basically pump this to start this thing going, and you would steer with your feet.

  • I think kids today would have an absolute blast with this promise.

  • It just looks like it would hurt a lot.

  • Probably never be able to have Children if he wrecks.

  • Think it basically was a toy that we had in the garage that we would play with when we were little, and I had a great time with it.

  • It was a lot of fun.

  • I'm looking this cell today because my grandmother is 100 years old and I'd like to take her out for dinner.

  • I am a ground.

  • This boy, actually.

  • Have you ever seen one of these?

  • Yeah.

  • These things are old.

  • This could be 19 twenties.

  • Right here.

  • It definitely has its age.

  • This was a luxury item going to be Well.

  • Ah, forget you're kidding.

  • Something like this.

  • In the 19 twenties, this was probably 10 20 bucks.

  • $10 in 1920 was happen.

  • Ounce of gold.

  • That's amazing.

  • Um, Still in good shape, huh?

  • Still runs It just goes to show how well some things were built.

  • This was literally built to last 100 years.

  • It's good old American steel, rubber tires.

  • It's all here.

  • It just needs a little TLC, and I think this thing would look pretty damn cool.

  • Generally speaking, we've had good luck selling old pedal cars in the shop, so I have to assume this pump car with cell, too.

  • But these things are so rare, I don't even know if there's a market for them.

  • So picking this up is somewhat of a risk.

  • How much you looking to get out of this thing?

  • I was thinking about 500.

  • It's cool, but it's not $500 school.

  • I'm thinking more like the Raider bucks.

  • About 400.

  • I'll give you 3 50 Okay, I think that will work.

  • I think that we were definitely think 3 50 I'll meet your right over there.

  • Okay, great.

  • Thank you.

  • I think I got a good deal, but it's always scary buying a rusty old toy that needs a complete restoration.

  • Hopefully that restoration won't eat up all my profit.

  • It's all basically here for the looks of it.

  • Yeah, not a bad looking piece.

  • It just puts it thrilling me to take something rusted and then put it back into a beautiful condition that people will admire.

  • Let's see how the mechanism works.

  • Works pretty good.

  • I think it would be cool.

  • I mean, I think that would be a lot funnier than a pedal car.

  • This thing just looks like it would go fast.

  • Way Gotta figure to restore it.

  • We'll have to get the new tires.

  • Do the wheels, reproduce the decals, make a handle.

  • You're probably talking in a $400 range.

  • Okay, wait a minute.

  • 3 54 100 Fix it.

  • What do you think I could get out of it?

  • It's done real nice.

  • And you do everything correct.

  • 12 to 14 easily.

  • Okay.

  • Obviously you'll get me in the money.

  • Yeah.

  • All right.

  • Make it pretty.

  • Okay.

  • Good deal.

  • This pump car is going to set me back $750 But I bet Bob is being modest, and with his touch, I think it would be on the $1400 side of things.

  • When I see a chance to practically double my money.

  • I'm always at Rick chum as going.

  • It was going any better.

  • I'd be twins.

  • Jump brought that pump car for you.

  • It's looking real good to bring around the back lot.

  • Well, not about no problem.

  • I'll meet you back there.

  • I bought an old pump car from the 19 twenties.

  • It needed a restoration.

  • So my buddy Bob fixed it up and I can't wait to see what he's done with it.

  • So let's see it.

  • You'll get a kick out of this.

  • I got carried away with a little bit.

  • That is cool.

  • That is really damn cool.

  • Little things I like are the details.

  • I did a lot of research on this full period.

  • Correct hardware decal.

  • I found another one online and we copied the decals.

  • Not when he's yours.

  • Was pretty rough.

  • It looks really cool.

  • I really like it.

  • I hope you do, because I tell you truth.

  • I fell in love with it, working on it.

  • I think it looks really, really good.

  • It's been pretty cool toy for a kid to play with.

  • Don't you wish you could get in and write it?

  • I think the thing will collapse.

  • So in Australia we had some issues with it.

  • The wheels were a little bit worse than than I expected.

  • When they built toys of metal, they never primed them.

  • So they rusted.

  • Well, like the government, we went way over budget.

  • But a lot of that's my fault because I just got carried away.

  • My cost on this is $570.

  • Okay, man, I'm sure you'll make it up next time.

  • I'll try a lot of people gonna be attracted to this because of the colors.

  • It just looks so cool with those colors.

  • They want it.

  • I think you'll make some money on it.

  • And that's good for him.

  • I looked up the price on the Internet.

  • 16.

  • 1600.

  • No.

  • $16.67 1939.

  • All right.

  • Gotta figure it's gotta be worth 13 $1400.

  • You're doing pretty good on this thing, Rick.

  • Okay, come inside.

  • I'll pay a price it and get it on the floor.

  • 578 boxes a little over his original estimate.

  • Then again, that's why they call it an estimate.

  • There's still plenty of room for profit, and this thing looks amazing.

Hey, what do we have here?
