Chasing Classic Cars

- Season 9

(2017)

Wayne and car buddy Ralph can't believe their good fortune when they win a sealed-bid auction for a one-of-one, all-original 1930 Minerva bodied by Hibbard & Darrin, but as extraordinary as the car itself is the story of the man who owned it.

Wayne spans the BMW spectrum when he sells a high-performance, low-production 2003 BMW Z8 Alpina roadster and a cute-as-a-button 1958 BMW Isetta 300. While both models performed for BMW, will they ring the bell for Wayne?

Wayne turns the collector car world on its ear when he makes the surprise announcement that he's selling the best barn find of his career, his 100% original 1921 Stutz Bearcat with just over 11,000 miles from new.

Wayne's hot on the trail of a 1958 SAAB GT 750 that's been restored to perfection, but when he arrives for the inspection and test drive he discovers the owner has two more Saabs he may be willing to sell.

With two winning race cars and a high-tech hybrid supercar with over one hundred years of racing and automotive engineering between them, there's just one thing left for Wayne to do: head to the track.

Wayne finds a late fifties Stanguellini Monoposto Formula Junior racecar for sale; he jumps at the chance to buy it and bring it back to the shop to surprise Roger. Meanwhile, Wayne hopes to sell two cars to make room in the garage for a 1953 Bandini.

A perfect pair of early sixties Volkswagen Karmann Ghias has Wayne reaching for his checkbook and Roger giving the cars his "special treatment" when he bets Wayne he can get one of the cars running in eight minutes or less.

Wayne finds himself with, not one, but TWO epic finds on his hands when he discovers a 1947 Alfa Romeo 6C 2500 Super Sport Cabriolet that's been garaged for over 30 years and a fully-loaded, single-owner 1948 Harley Davidson with a sidecar.

The 1920 Revere-Duesenberg with a 360ci four-cylinder Duesenberg "Walking Beam" engine, was capable of a staggering 106hbp, making someone who owned one the fastest and coolest kid on the block. So when Wayne hears of one for sale, he hopes a plane.

Wayne's off to Ohio in pursuit of a picture-perfect, low-mileage 1987 BMW M6 Coupe, but he'll need to pony up for a 1969 Lincoln Mark 3 and a 1978 Lincoln Mark 5 as part of a package deal. Then Wayne helps a client sell an '81 Morgan Roadster at auction.

Wayne and car-buddy, Ralph, head to the VSCCA Wilbraham Hill Climb where it's Wayne's Stutz up against Ralph's Packard speedster in an old-fashioned drag race. With their pride, pink slips and a charity donation on the line, horsepower rules the day.

Wayne's off to Ohio in pursuit of a picture-perfect, low-mileage 1987 BMW M6 Coupe, but he'll need to pony up for a 1969 Lincoln Mark 3 and a 1978 Lincoln Mark 5 as part of a package deal. Then Wayne helps a client sell an '81 Morgan Roadster at auction.

Schwing! The nineties are alive and rocking when Wayne preps two, pristine, low-mileage 1990 favorites for sale -- a 1990 Mazda Miata with supercharger and a like-new 1990 Toyota pickup truck. Wayne's also working to freshen up his 1960 Morgan.

Wayne's been contacted by the New York Governor's office to refresh a '32 Packard originally purchased by Franklin Delano Roosevelt.The car has been sitting in a state museum for decades, but Governor Cuomo wants to see it brought back to life.

Ruby's Diner in the King of Prussia Mall closes its doors and the owners have to sell three vintage America motorcycles in a hurry--a Harley Davidson, an Indian and a Triumph. At F40, the crew's working on an '86 Lambo that hasn't been driven in 25 yrs.

Wayne's always dreamed of owning an iconic Auburn Boattail Speedster. A twist of fate connects him with 2 sisters selling their grandfather's collection, including a '32 Auburn Boattail Speedster, a 1909 Ford Model T, and more.

Wayne goes from coast to coast to add to his collection when he buys a Sprint Midget race car complete with a custom trailer, a vintage '36 Ford Pickup truck to tow them and matching Quarter Midget race car to ride along in the truck bed.

Wayne has been commissioned to sell a very unique 1968 Superbird. When the EPA tested airplane emissions in the 1970's they looked no further than NASCAR and the Plymouth Superbird to race the jets down the runway.

Wayne throws open the garage to discover a trio of Zagato-bodied, Fiat-Abarth 750s including two coveted Double Bubbles and a low production Record Monza. Then he's on the hunt for a 1954 Kaiser Manhattan one of less than 5,000 produced.
