I'm curious as to how these cars actually get sold.

In the show you can see from time to time all the old cars they have built. So do you sign a contract saying you can buy the car but have to bring it back for promotional purposes. If that was the case heck no would I buy a car from them.

Let alone they can't finish a car with a friggin headliner.  :roflsmiley:

Or just give them away.  Still, I would like to have received this phone call.   :bigsmile:

They're going to do a show on the Hot Wheels theme on a Corvette.
This might be pretty good to see.

The 69' Hot Wheel Corvette came out before the debut of the 69' came out from what I was told at the Hot Wheels  display at the Peterson Museum in L.A.

Yep I watched it and the car was pretty cool.... but he bought a BB 427 to do it and ripped everything out! It was a survivor car worth a lot of money and in awesome shape. Why would you not just buy a nice small block car for $10,000 and built that? I wish I had that kind of money to throw around for nothing. Rawlings is making a butt load of money off the show and recognition for his other business'. He could have given me the Challenger I would have sold it and bought some original cars with the money. :thumbsup:

Havolin oil did the giveaway of the challenger and GMG was the paid spokesman for the promotion
