Being an old car enthusiast with multiple car restoration projects currently there's no way I would even give her 6000. Maybe 3500 because the exterior is in rough shape and I wouldn't call it "good condition"
Future 75th True I have a 1973 spitfire, the English market one. I paid around £6000 for it, unlike this one though, the bodywork is good. that car has clearly had a few prangs in its life. Something like this should be worth three to four thousand in its current condition.
Pawn Stars, Why would you block another video on your channel about this car, Triumph '74 by telling me the uploader has not made it available in my country when in fact Yt recommended the very video to me but I can watch this video without a problem. I think Yt is just talking and you did not restrict this video but Yt's fake Ai did that all by itself. Very very disappointing
Vegas is actually a really small area, so him living pretty close might not be that far fetched. But the thing is, everything on this show is set up by appointment. They arent going to have a live camera crew just standing around, while Rick randomly meets a person for a deal - and then sit there for 40 min while his expert arrives. I mean, what if Rick calls his expert, and they are busy. What if there is traffic? Do all those people just sit there and wait? The answer is NO! There have been numerous people that have worked on the show on the crew side of things. And the actual sellers/ the bargaining sections are 100% real. They aren’t scripted. And they dont do cuts while filming, except when they get the expert on. Which they then resume. But people seem to think that means all of this is fake. No. The actual sale part is real. But they have to plan it out. This means people “apply” for the show. They apply to sell their goods on the show. And the store decides which sellers would make for a good segment on the show. Which items, are worth being filmed. So of course they have to set up an appointment with these people. Doesnt mean its fake. Just means that its planned, and edited. Thats to be expected.
Some of it isn't scripted some of it is I should know cuz I met Rick at his pawn shop when I visited there he was with a customer and there wasn't any cameras and so was chum I did see rebecca she's hotter in person
@@mewgiah8057 I can understand how they would do this when they are leaving the store--how they would know which of their experts they would need to call in but I'm doubting it works this way for people that come into the store. Which isn't all that bad in that they could shot around it--move on to other segments/scenes while the expert is called in & gets to the store.
"ive had the car a year, im looking to move on to the next bucketlist item" translates to "ive had this car a year and things are starting to break, i dont know how to fix anything so its time to get rid of it"
The "patriarchy", is trying to "oppress" me with a "pink tax" on my junk car, and they should give me whatever I want, just for being in my presence...Rick: "The car would cost twice what you are asking, to get it in sellable condition." It's called REALITY lady!!
I owned one of these, a 1978 model for 3 years. Yes, they are temperamental, somewhat underpowered but all the same fun to drive and if you are mechanically inclined not too hard to find parts for and easy to work on. The motor itself is reliable, keep the oil changed, ensure the alternator is charging and the radiator filled. Other than keeping a close eye on them, these cars are are simple to maintain and deliver good gas mileage. My ex wife sold the car out from under me when I was out, came back and saw the car was missing! didn't even get the $ she got for it, she just wanted the thing gone so she could park her car there! wound up losing her too the next year! I think the car was the keeper, while the woman just got recycled onto a "friend".
I had a 74 with over drive air-conditioning and a hard top ... Spent more time replacing axle joints than driving it . It was also prone to drop the number 3 cylinder . Which happened to me one night 3 oclock in the morning in the middle of the everglades ...... Theres a reason they dont make them anymore .
She wanted 6,000, found out it was 3,500-4,000 retail, so asks 7,000... makes sense. Perhaps being on a TV show was a bucket list item too. Considering what they all really wanted, they all won.
First of all, that's not a Mk IV, it's a 1500. I would suggest he call somebody who knows what he's talking about. Having owned one from 1985 to 1990, I can tell you, any drive you don't walk back from is a good drive in a Spitfire.
The Triumph Spitfire, is to me the best looking sports car ever! (I like the Jag XKE too)... My brother-in-law has three Spitfire 1500's. He keeps one running, and uses the other two for parts, just to keep 'the one' running... I love it! Nothing sounds as good, or looks as good as a Spitfire... Not even my wife's 2002 Miata; but that is a close second!
74 was the worst year for any car. emission control just started and motors would be junk at 50,000 miles.folks drop a 289 V8 in the older spitfires and they are tons of drivable fun.They also came with a electric over drive button on the shifter that was cool
As far as worse shape there is a 74 on autotrader right now for 4,795. The seller would take less if you offered them cash most likely. There are some on there not the exact same year but in far better shape 6-9k. So if you get 10k for one in worse shape....boy they saw you coming.
That's what my father said too, except he was referring to the Delorean having that electric system. My father was a fairly well known freelance car photographer in the 80's and early-mid 90's.
It's nice to see these cars getting some recognition, I've had my '67 since new, but they were not terribly well made. Nice for entry level British collectible, but the MGB is far superior.
MASSIVE wah wah to the expert.......... the first item to look at on these vehicles: chassis outriggers (3 each side) and the outer chassis rails that the outriggers support. they rust out like buggerin buggery
This guy , the expert, is more like an pawn shop owner tha expert. No doubt he have understanding in cars but every time Rick call him to scan and estimate cars, he cut the price even bellow Rick offer..
Let me get a friend over here...he actually lives in the trunk of your car.
@Salty Nuts not true. very funny.
I'll go balls deep and not an inch more I am taking all the risk here
I laughed wayyy to hard at this. Thats what she said.

they're fun to drive ... if you like doing 40 in a 55-zone ... it's like driving a big go-cart
His friend lives down the street lmao that was so hilariously stupid hahaha
Reminds me of the one that appeared in "The Wraith", if only it was maybe then she might have gotten some money for it, maybe $500.

Rick has never gave a offer you can't resist...he gives a offer you reluctantly take and regret for the rest of your life
true lmao
Not really some people actually get more than they asked for
thats his jerb

Rick " There's allot of body problems on it". A little paint flake on one fender and two small dents on the hood.
She has it on Craigslist Las Vegas for 7k
The car was on Pawnstars, demand just skyrocketed you all saw it!!

I have an expert on Craigslist. Let me get him down here...
Might be worth 7 grand if it was actually in good shape...
You can ask for whatever price you want, it doesn't mean you'll get it.
I paid $2000 for a 1974 Spitfire in 1978. It got totaled a year later and the insurance gave me $2500.
Too far when he put his arm around rick haha
113 B yea gay fuck
He wants his own spinoff show and he's trying too hard.
I give her a poweraid and some corn nuts for it
he he
Howard James thats wierd ?? i gave her corn nuts and she gave me back milk duds ??
Let me call up a buddy of mine who's a corn nut expert
"Hopefully Rick will make me an offer I cant resist"
Guess she's never seen the show
Calls with a "Pristine" Spitfire lmao.....love people who try to sell BRAND NEW only used 11 times items lol
It's as pristine as her hairdo.
Or was it a wig?
For a "Leyland", it is pristine!
@@jeannieheard1465 Just what I said, for a "Leyland", it is pristine condition!
You say spitfire I think of a kickass fighter with a v-12 Merlin engine
Rick did not like that spitfire at all lol
Hats off to Rick. He knew that his offer was going to be so low that it would been insulting.
I respect him for that.
First of all, that's not a Mk IV, it's a 1500. I would suggest he call somebody who knows what he's talking about. Having owned one from 1985 to 1990, I can tell you, any drive you don't walk back from is a good drive in a Spitfire.
Exactly. A “Mark IV” has a “Mark IV” emblem, a “1500” says “1500”. Jeesh 🤦♂️
Don't forget everyone Rick still has to frame it, auction fees, overhead etc
that wee Spitfire was struggling with those two linebackers in it
“That depression thing happened” LEL
Selling your car to a pawn shop is like handing out your savings to the homeless
I have one myself. Funnest thing i've ever driven.
best i can do is 5 bucks..i am taking all the risk here
night king 😂😂😂😂
lol!
he didnt even want the fucking thing...even for 5 bucks. he took no risk at all.

"let me just call my buddy who's an expert on Triumph Spitfires and conveniently lives on this street" ok sure
these videos are obviously edited. it's not live
you must be new here
Yeah. His buddy said it is a MK IV. It plainly says Spitfire 1500 on the front. The MK IV has a 1296 cc engine.
this show should be called “Let me get a buddy down here”
Look at that shot 0:03, amazing.
Get rid of that debt over though rear fender well, and put some rims on it and that’s a nice looking vehicle
I don’t think the friend knew much about Triumphs.
It's amazing how Rick knows everything about everything!
I had a '75 and you had to park it over a fridge box to catch all the fluids. LOL.
That’s a beautiful car 💛😍
Probably deserves a lot more value & attention!
Its so awkward hearing him tell her the history of Triumph. She just bought it because it was cute
says its a mark 4 spitfire when it clearly says spitfire 1500 on the hood...
Mark 4 means it's the fourth model in the series, 1500 is the engine size. 1500cc.
"She's a nice little ride..." The car or the owner cause she wasn't bad?
74 was the worst year for any car. emission control just started and motors would be junk at 50,000 miles.folks drop a 289 V8 in the older spitfires and they are tons of drivable fun.They also came with a electric over drive button on the shifter that was cool
"friend that lives down the street" really means friend in the back of Ricks van.
Wow only a few grand, I need me one of my own
first thing i thought too lol
@@jackw7666 That's right >
What kind of nut job brings a 1974 Triumph to a pawn shop?
They all get paid.
Why is it that most of rick's buddies lives or works down the street? Lol
seen them in worse shape for 10000
As far as worse shape there is a 74 on autotrader right now for 4,795. The seller would take less if you offered them cash most likely. There are some on there not the exact same year but in far better shape 6-9k. So if you get 10k for one in worse shape....boy they saw you coming.
You never saw one in worse shape SELL for $10K. People can ASK for any price.
I’ll give you $200

That's what my father said too, except he was referring to the Delorean having that electric system. My father was a fairly well known freelance car photographer in the 80's and early-mid 90's.
If only it was the TR6,but still like that cool Spitfire!
Highest maintenance car on the road.
They were basically Triumph herald's with a facelift.
id buy that spitfire in an instant knowing that its $6000, i dont care if it is dented, that is one nice car...
It's a nice car. I'd buy it for 1.5k
You'd immediately regret it. They are utter crap.
Shes definitely been around the block
The car too
Good valuation, definitely under $4K.. fixed up, could fetch $5-6K tops.
I think Rick was just being a gentlemen because he knew his low-ball offer would have been insulting.
My favorite ride is a cougar
I'd dump in it!
Why do they look at cars they have no intention of buying
This wasn’t shot in Nevada, this is like California dude.
"It's a cute car."
"It needs a lot of work."
Perfect example of how women see a car as opposed to men.
Pristine lmfao as it has paint chips and scratches 🤣😂
I'll give you my lucky tooth from 6th grade and a wad of chums hair thats the best I can do - Rick
It's nice to see these cars getting some recognition, I've had my '67 since new, but they were not terribly well made. Nice for entry level British collectible, but the MGB is far superior.
Far from "pristine," the car grades as "fair" due to body and other apparent issues. Hagerty values it at around $3,200.
Do any of his buddies ever work. They are ever only 5 minutes away
John Brett the magic of television.
I didn't realise Las Vegas was full of people who are experts on everything. I just thought it was a sleazy gambling den.
Why didn't he call the Kount from Counting Cars?
He's not an "expert" anymore.
From the looks of Rick he might wanna shop around for a couple kidneys and a liver.
I just got my 1980 Triumph Spitfire for $1500. In much better shape than this car lol.
What about catching touchdown passes from Y A tittle
My buddy here (off-camera) will low ball you even more... oh “no money to be made” here thanks lady! Lol
Miss him having the count check them out...
my mate bought 2 spitfire 1500s for the equivalent of $1k
If she put a little money in it to fix it up I know it would sell.
Its an engine not a motor.
Oh its Bruce Jenner
Thank god that British Leyland 70’s yellow has been consigned to history
Yes, many BMC/British Leyland colors were just plain strange. Who else could make an ugly yellow, green, blue, red or maroon. Even white looked odd
Nobody :
Rick : Let me take out my buddy who is in my right pocket.
Ugly bumpers.
I would suggest to keep it running as is. You never worry about scratches or anything. You just enjoy it.
This is Ike the holy grail of wigs
I think these folks would find a dust spot on the valve stim on a museum Rolls-Royce and say that lowers the value A LOT.
rick : im gonna let my buddy have a look at it
POINTS BEHIND THE LAMP POST - Your clear to come out now

0:16 she messed it up, she had the perfect time to say "I won't refuse"..
Thats a nice car hes a tire kicker...i wouldnt sell it to him..the cars old..i hate how they critizise
Mr. Brown and Triumph spit fire famously.
I see rick quit using Danny and the restore guy
"Prestine" yet it is covered in dents and scratches.
That car was everything BUT a triumph!!!

There are more trucks and SUVs there than in Dallas.
That little Triumph is a Matchbox car on American roads.
