  • @jordanmartin9769
    @jordanmartin9769 4 года назад +36

    all you guys are saying that they ripped him off, I would love to see you guys dump 40 grand into just buying them. That doesn't include shipping them add 3 grand, paying a guy to fix them with correct museum quality parts that's where you get the most money for them that easily as low as 40 and as high as 70 grand. the guys will have over 100 grand invested in the 3 vans how many of you would dump that much money into 3 vans that have been sitting outside in the elements, rust is everywhere, parts are nearly impossible to find especially for the 23 window, they are not making a Bunch of money off these vans. they couldn't have gone much higher because mike is looking at the big picture.

    • @dr.gonzogoesberserk4187
      @dr.gonzogoesberserk4187 4 года назад +3

      Exactly what I was about to say. Everybody knows how much these buses are worth restored, but everyone seems to forget that that price is for full professional restorations and what those cost.

    • @richardgooding498
      @richardgooding498 4 года назад

      Personally, I was thinking 10 grand for every car in the barn. They don't run, they haven't ran in 30 years, parts are very rare. The amount of money to restore the vehicles could be astronomical if floor pans are bad, rust is not a good wallet saver

      @cbcvvmalkf9486 Год назад +1

      You obviously didn’t watch the whole episode LOL
      The reason the seller was selling is because his property recently got ravaged, his property was vandalized and items were stolen. He can’t maintain the place so he wants to sell instead of his stuff getting stolen.
      How about you watch full episodes first before you comment
