Restoration Garage

- Season 3

(2017)

A chrome malfunction dashes Dave and Larry's dreams of showing their prized Delahaye at Pebble Beach, but a custom roadster lifts their spirits and tempts their pocket books. Back at the Guild, Ken runs into trouble on a '51 Ford F1.

While Brad and Barry investigate the vintage "anything goes" race cars of the Can Am series, Dave surprises Larry with his latest purchase, a 1978 Custom Bronco, before setting off on a mission to secure a replacement part for his 1946 Johnny Popper.

Larry's favorite Studebaker makes one last pit stop at the Guild, before being shipped off to a new owner. And while Brad troubleshoots an overheating problem on a Ferrari 328 GTS, Dave decides to auction off two decades of car memorabilia.

On an auction hunt in California, Dave and Larry are spellbound by a 1971 Alfa Montreal. As the bidding price skyrockets, will they go for broke or hit the brakes? While the boss is away, Thomas puts the finishing touches on a 1963 Split Window Corvette.

Dave showcases the Guild's 1935 Bugatti Aerolithe Coupe at the world's greatest aviation celebration in Osk Kosh, Wisconsin, alongside the 100P, the only plane Ettore Bugatti ever built. Back at the Guild, a 1965 Buick Riviera Gran Sport rolls in.

Dave is willing to drop big bucks on an eclectic mix of cars at a local auction, including a 2003 Aston Martin Vanquish and a 1958 Dodge C-Series half-ton. Back at The Guild, things go south when Larry borrows the boss' beloved 1958 Power Wagon.

Dave's hot new ride, a 2016 Alfa 4C Competizione, gets put to the test when Janice challenges him to a race in her 2006 Lotus Elise. Back at the garage, Ron and Lary try their best to fire up the stubborn rotary engine of a 1966 NSU-RO-80.

Dave tasks newbie mechanics with installing the engine of his 1949 Willys-Overland Jeepster, while getting his hands dirty on a carburetor rebuild of his 1983 Series III Land Rover. Meanwhile, Larry gets rattled by a 1974 E-Type Jaguar.

Dave's investment partner, Larry, is having transmission problems with his prize new possession, a 1937 Cord 812, but a look under the hood reveals even more issues. Meanwhile, Ken swaps the brake system on a 1948 Dodge Pickup.

Dave is living la dolce vita in Italy where he gets an exclusive look at the SCG003 hyper-car. Meanwhile, Ron and Larry troubleshoot an oil issue on a 1966 Shelby with 100km's to its name.

Dave unveils the Guild's next big restoration, a 1966 Ferrari 250 GT California Spyder. Billy gets a crash course on traditional panel beating while Dave returns to Italy to learn about Italian Coachbuilding.

Dave lets go off a few oddities he's kept hidden in storage: his 1929 Schneider needs custom upholstery, his 1970s Volkswagen Beetle needs to fired up and his 1959 Borgward Isabella bought sight unseen over the internet may be a lemon.
