Wrecks to Riches | S1E1 | Frankenstein's Monster

- Barry White is looking to resurrect something special for the big Silver Auto Auction in Reno, Nevada.
On the Internet, his daughter Jen tracks down a '71 Plymouth Road Runner, which gets his blood pumping. The Chrysler model attracted MOPAR fans during the muscle car era and Barry’s hoping to do the same at auction, more than 30 years later.
Trouble is, on inspection, the Road Runner’s riddled with rust. But Barry's already bought it over the net. He has to think quickly. He buys a second Plymouth to get out of a bind.
Like Dr. Frankenstein, he plans to create one Super Muscle Car from the two donor wrecks. Then his designer, Chris Brown, suggests they crank the Frankenstein thing up another notch and make a GTX, the top-of-the-line Plymouth muscle car. But to pull it off, they need a MOPAR Hemi engine. And that’s when things go down hill fast.
The big MOPAR dream runs out of time and costs Barry way more than he wanted to spend. And the more they get into their Frankenstein creation, the more they find it was probably a big mistake.
MOPAR fans are hard-markers and fiercely protective of their brand. Can Barry and the team create a GTX to loosen the cash from the pockets? Or will they be left with a monster no one wants?

The father and daughter workplace dynamic is great.
Especially if you're the daughter!😀😀😀
Great stance, sound, and wheel adjustment. Initially hated the purple, but it grew on me a little once it had black added to the hood. Bravo Wrecks to Riches, love the show.
This is probably the most beautiful car they have ever made in this show.
Two words describes this car. Goose bumps. It's GORGEOUS!
I love 71/72 Roadrunners and GTXs... nice to see someone doing something with them... FINALLY!! Very nice finished product.
Ive never heard of this car until this episode and i love it so much. Thank you for introducing me to something so damn beautiful.

Beautiful restoration. My favorite muscle car 71-72 Plymouth roadrunner. IMO 1971 was the zenith of muscle car designs. Every American manufacturer offered badass models. Car designers were true masters of their craft.
TheBatt1958 i think 70 was the pinnacle.. 71 saw some higher insurance rates and more regulations.. but i agree 70, 71 they looked amazing. Really anything before 74 were great.. by 74 the engines were either detuned or had smaller engines entirely.
As a half now owner of my dad's 1958 ford fairlane 500 pretty much original, and as I worked with my dad in a old shed for years to bring this car up to its present state now. Many hours of combing fields, old barns, junkyards, and backwoods hunting for parts to keep life in his baby. He now passed away and I'm left to bare the heart aches that goes with the task of having to sell his creation and come to terms of having turn the memories into cash and damn it hurts so bad that I'm in tears daily. Hoping to find someone to make her their baby as she was his baby... She was such a important and life long joy for him that myself and my sister had her carved into his headstone....... RIP dad and ride on . Remember the endless hours we worked on her together, forever and ever. Wishing I could keep her but half owners in it means I have to pay the other half owner for her part and I don't have to pay. So forgive me dad. Love you with all my heart😭👩❤👍💋!
Guy pays 75k for a car and one of the first things the builder says, "I did a bunch of BIG burn outs on it".
Chris Freely ew the
Ik😂😂😂
That would be a stamp of approval for me
Guy pays 75K for it, throws away the wheels, the steering wheel etc because they are too ghetto
That car is beautiful...I need it, I want it!
Absolute beauty. One of a very limited selection of MOPAR that would make me think twice about a FORD.
I love watching all of these videos of restoring our cars of days gone by restoring our iron wheeled legends of yester year is the only way to go keep coming with all the restoration and barn find videos we love me up here in the northwest....
Nice car, you did a great job building it, and the end result is fantastic.

Most car tv shows are all about flipping cars for $
Great looking Mopar!
That Chrome bumper set it off nice..gave it the old school look..
I watch these when I wait for the next episode of Roadkill.
Yeh, we do too, most of the other car shows totally suck.
saaaaaaaaaame
I would give this show on a 1 to 10 scale a 5. we are lucky if the camera stays on the engine for 5 or 10 secs.
they're more about bodywork and restoration, not just cobbling something together half assed.
who ?
That was a beautiful build!! I love this show!
I would love it more if there was less BS and more car.
Fantastic car ..
This was the best cars restored show on tv. Wish it was back on.
Barry is a prime example of how not to treat your employees! If he told me he was gonna take me out on the front lawn, I'd oblige him and knock his teeth out!
😆
LOL 😂😂
I would love too wake up each day and go to work for this company!love watching and thank you for sharing happy Xmas from Plymouth Devon UK
I'd love to work for Barry, true he has high standards but in this day and age you could do a lot worse.
You must have done time at barrysshitshop
As well

The one thing I liked about growing up in the late sixties, was the American muscle cars were loud and always racing on 107 Leaded pump gas. It was so Exciting. Another thing I really liked was the Purple on the Chryslers and the Oranges and Yellows on the other brands. The thing I did not like about these cars at the time was this ridiculous penchant for vinyl roofs that rotted after a few years. I wish I could go back to 1969 and live there forever....
yes, "In Violet" on Plymouths, same code (C7) as "Plum Crazy" on Dodges,...but don't tell these "experts"!!!
" I wish I could go back to 1969 and live there forever...." that made me sad, man. In a 'good' way.We all have our favorite times, don't we?

muscle cars are loud, brash and technological trash.
In 83 I came across a Satellite and fell in love with the lines of it. It almost became my 1st car. They look so good with the right size wheels and tires
My favourite car program.
Regardless of being all-original...it's a very nice build. Looks amazing! I'd drive it!
come and meet Ilhabela Brazil!
To many negative comments! I like the car! I wouldn't mind if they put GTX on a Satellite! But chrome bumper, and factory rims! And don't forget that Road Runner horn! And be honest, about it being a Satellite! It's a beautiful car other wise!

I don't know if I could pick a favorite mopar but the 71 and 72 road runner would definitely be at the top of the list. I've always liked the chrome front end. I like the 70 super bee because of the front end too but I think I like the road runner a little better.
1971 roadrunner is my dream car so i loved seeing this be fixed up
Walked right by a classic first gen mustang AND a 80's 5.0L red mustang. WTF!
love the car
love seeing the transformation
Barry and your team are the 'Ultimate'!!
"Now there's a third bidder. THE GUY WITH THE MUSTACHE." Great announcing skills.
I can't believe they scrapped that road runner... that car was complete. change out the dam floor pans, dam it
Jamie Parks they only care about money not the value of the car you are worried about, they are evil car clumsy rebuilders, part changers and they know money only, that's it , they aren't artists.
a traveler on the road - you said it brotha !!
That's exactly what I was thinking. A real Road Runner in GTX trim has to be worth more than a Satellite in GTX trim. I was just amazed they decided to go the other way.
It wasn't just the floor. The entire car was compromised with rust, haven't you paid any attention?
@krazzysu IKR......
4-speed 4-speed 4-speed that’s the only way to go with a classic muscle car!!!
u guys are my new heros guys im going to watch u guys all weekend.
It's not a GTX unless the VIN says it is.
its a wanna-B GTX.
correct!!...VIN will say Satellite!
Depends on if they went with the RRs vin. many a virgin base model satellite or cornet became RR,GTX, SuperBee,RT back in the day after the real car was damaged and a lil ol lady base model was purchased to put all the real muscle car parts on including the numbers in various places. That was real common in the 80s. i know of several rare big name "documented" matching number cars that aint. LOL ive also seen a group of guys in the late 60 early 70s that used to fork new muscle cars off train tranporters. Theyd take the car with a desirable motor into a nearby garage. harvest the motor and put some low horse substitute in its place. Seen it go on in dealerships where the owners kid had keys to the dealer. They pluck a motor for buddy or just pad their pocket, then throw some low horse version in the donor and no one was the wiser. Thats why I laugh at this match numbers nonsense. Gettin caught meant getting fired or going to jail. They covered their tracks to varying degree.
or unless the purchaser thinks it is!
Fred Garvin mo
don't pay attention to all the negative comments people. They're just upset because they can't build a car like this or afford to buy a car like this.
anyone can build a car like this given enough time but this car was crap thanks to the slush box they didnt spend 55 grand on it either nor did they have trouble finding that hemi. go watch stacey david's gears thats a real car show no over inflation and he explains how to do it.
thanks for the show recommendation lol......
Sweet Super Muscle Car Build!
That one came out great. Normally I hate aftermarket wheels but these worked.
never understood the 9" Ford when they likely had a 8 3/4 Mopar rear that's just as strong.
YOU'RE MISSING SOMETHING IMPORTANT WHICH IS THE 9 AND 3 QUARTER INDESTRUCTIBLE DANA 60 THE ONLY THING BETTER WITH TH 9 INCH FORD REAR IS IT WAS FASTER AND EASIER TO CHANGE GEAR RATIOS...DO YOUR RESEARCH..BETTER YET BUILD ONE FOR YOURSELF FOR A FOURTH OF WHAT THE NEW DODGE CRAP COSTS
Survivor87 if chev or Mopar rearends could hold any amount of power for any length of time ,they would keep them.and they are not "just as strong" fuck man people are going to the Ford 8.8 now,because the 9" r hard to find. do you actually think that die hard Mopar guys want to tear their 3rd member out and put in a Ford one for fun. close your mouth. by the way the 83/4 Mopars were Dana 60's.so once again, shut your mouth.
Trevor Wilson hey bud,the 8 3/4 isn't a Dana 60 genius. It has a removable pumpkin just like the Ford 9". Dana 60 is totally different, do your homework
Really cool car, but a shame that they didn't put a 4 speed manual with a pistol grip shifter. Spend all that money for a true Hemi and they mate it to an Automatic slush box. Awful.
when you have upwards of 700 hp the auto trans doesn't matter and you won't need a new clutch every 3 to 5 k miles. even driving easy I.E no dumping the clutch for burnouts but getting on it at half throttle when you're just cruising now and then will still do the clutch in no matter what kind of clutch you have and you can't step on the gas more than an inch with out a trip into the bushes. This car is a super muscle car ! also with super maintenance intervals. It needs a garage and a gearhead to keep it on the road period...until some idiot crashes into it which is inevitable .I for one would be scared to drive it on a public road see the word PUBLIC!!! .How long do you think you can take up 3 mini parking places until all the local cops will know you by your 1st name. Obviously the fastest car you ever had was a honda with a header and a cold air kit. You younger people don't know what it's like to have REAL power.This car is almost un drivable on the road.There is no comparison between a challenger Hell Cat and this car look at overlayed torque curves and rpm's and then come talk to me At least it has REAL BUMPERS !. can you say TRAILER QUEEN ?
Should have been a HURST!
Robin Carlson You do realize there is 4spd manual 4 cylinder 1500hp cars running 7 second 200+
I love/drive mostly stick shift,but the problem is the synchronizers, they only take so much HP. Then you need a dog or crash box, which is a pain in stop and go traffic. Also, if you're going to sell to the general public...it has to be an automatic. Stick shifts are pretty much anti-theft devices :)
The road runner was possibly the most awesome production car ever built. It has always been my dream car.
come and meet Ilhabela Brazil!
Of all the reproduction cars classic cars that have come out recently if you were to mass-produce this car it would be a hot item I like it as much as the Challenger the charger and the Mustang that's come out recently. If not more you guys did a great job I hope it gets what you want for it. You deserve it.
this rigged up show,its always the same 3 buyers.
yeh.. i see that to i sed hey that 3 couples again same guys
the same buyer always..
Maybe they're groupies lol.
and they still lost money on the sale.
Yep, one of a kind "Push button automatic" in a Mopar....
Great for doing floaters
Nice. Show. 👍
the marker lights are fantastic. great look, homage to original cars, vintage . think Barry got it wrong on that one.
Damn that's beautiful. One of my favorite cars ever and that purple is hot. I don't believe that's plum crazy purple right? I thought that was a lighter shade. If not, what is the name of this color purple?
It's er.. As the code says... Plum crazy purple...
@@nicirvin1994 gotcha. Thanks. I have seen googling images of old cars, I've seen a few different shades of a color called like 3 different names so I never assume. Trying to figure out the name of each color blue they had on 69 Camaros gives me headaches lol. I've seen like 4 different shades of blue all called LeMans blue. Thanks. Nice ride. I'm planning on buying a 71 Roadrunner in the next year or so from a guy, it's Grabber Blue with a 440. It's sexy.
@@nicirvin1994 oh yeah, I've seen 3 different shades of purple that were all called Royal Plum too. 2 of them look bad ass, one, not so much. I was born in 81 so I vaguely remember old muscle cars as a kid outside of whatever versions they had in the late 70s2and 80's. I'm trying to learn as much as I can about all the old cars I like and sometimes it's hard to find accurate info. I spent a couple years learning everything I can about old S&W and Colt revolvers. There is so much misinformation on here and on the internet in general, it's a wonder I ever got all the stuff figured out that I wanted to know. Also since S&W would overlap changes they made with 2 different dash numbers and some changes reflect a dash number change and some reflect a particular year or in the 80's a few year period. It took me fucking forever, but now, I know a lot about old S&W and Colt revolvers which is good because I have began collecting them. I already have an insane collection of old school music from 20's - 90's and a ton of great vinyl with a console record player with autoplay! The original playlist! I have a great collection of movies and TV shows and I can talk for days on any one of those subjects. Old muscle cars, that's the next collection. Trying to learn as much as I can before I begin.
That ain’t even plum crazy🤣
No. I noticed HOK cans, so they just mixed something sparkly up
What a car! WOW!!!
Wheeler dealers with ed china still my fav car show.
It's still a Satelite. I guess numbers don't matter to the buyers.
A. B. Green THIS WAS REAL THE NEW BUYER COULD SUE THE BUILDER & SAY..HE SOLD ME A SATELLITE & NOT A REAL GTX....ITS LIKE ME SELLING A BUICK GNX & BUT IT WAS A BUICK REGAL WITH A TURBO INSTALLED!
A. B. Green depends on the buyer. If "retro" new age muscle is what you're looking for then the buyer is right. This is blasphemy to a purist though. Cant rationalize with either. All depends on what YOU want. And this is a nice car.
Hard to beat a hemi! I'll see your hemi and raise you an ls for a 3rd of the price with same power
This is one of my favorite project muscle car Barry White create that better from all original GTX
The right man for the car with that moustache, people would think it was his from new,
Barry white and chris brown??? 😂😂😂😂😂
Armani Royes yeah what the fuck is this shit 😂😂😂
Women are about to get a loving or a slapping
couldn't believe it lol
@@graemepatterson Rip 🤣
😂 i thought i was the only one that heard this 😂
All this useless drama just show me the build
Check out motor trend
Do all these shows have the same fake deadline?
this Plymouth is so gorgeous and unbelievably beautiful, lots of hard work and sweat
one of my favorite chariots from Plymouth
Loved this show
Car needs the true chrome back bumper.
9:53 ..... I know it's a junk.. but it hurts when you do that to a car
Ahmed Noushad they only know the money, viva Iran ;)
Ahmed Noushad guess we are the irani squad
WOW! That is a bad ass Car. Great job guys.
Glad you enjoyed. Thanks for Watching & Subscribing!
Gorgeous car...great job.
He wants a original hemi, but the Ford 9? Classic mopar fans would want the Dana?
Dana 60's don't break either the drive shaft would fling before the Dana would break.know how to tell a car is working right ? there are always new tires on the back even driving relatively easy.
Yeah we want the 12 bolt
Does he just have a very small group of buyers? It seems like the same few guys buy all these builds.
Great Job!
Glad you enjoyed. Thanks for Watching & Subscribing!
Nice video and a thumbs up for you.
Big ripple in the quarter panel @ 34:30
75 grand lol
these guys make me laugh!!...is there no overhead in their shop?...don't the workers get paid?...the amount of hours doesn't relate into dollars?...and,..theres ALWAYS a deadline!!...LOL!!
By The Way...that survivor 70 convertible with 3 broadcast sheets(option sheets) should be 5 times the price of this hack job
Totally! If you use $60 for labor they're over $80,000. Plus overhead. This shop loses money on EVERY car they put out! That's why no one else is doing it. If it weren't for the show paying them for filming, residuals and ad value they'd never even consider it. I even wonder if there is some sort of rebate going back to the buyers?
Rudy, IKR? you would think they would plan a little more in advance for a show that is typically announced 9-12 months or more ahead of the event date.
HACK job. HAH!! They merely put pieces together with another car that had the same body style. Tell me if you were in his shoes you wouldn't do exactly what they did. -_-;
I guarantee the network pays for the car's upgrades and for the auction price of the vehicle. No way this car actually makes it's money back in real life.
Best story work to build a car
Absolutely Beautiful!
Glad you enjoyed. Thanks for Watching & Subscribing!
Stop calling that Sebring a GTX
Lmao you know its fake when the 2 main guys are Barry White and Chris Rock
WoW what a Beautiful car Mopar or No car I Love it Full Send U.K.
I love the plum crazy purple,I would love a 70 Charger in this color!
I got one for sale pistol grip 4spd
which mopar is best mopar?
my mopar is named after a cartoon
Lol
So regular.
Great car the Road Runner
Meep meep!
The Baby Boomers have taken the love of these cars away with the super inflated prices. We can not afford to build this sport any longer!
Silver Turd the baby boomers suck ass, they have money and they pay whatever to attract a little attention from young girls who won't fuck them no matter what. I am young and would like to have a muscle car even not rebuilt, but prices are crazy because baby boomers are preferred customers, one question, how an old man suppose to looks good in a muscle car? It's for young people. Not old viagra fat balds
That is correct. They are parking thier money into my love addiction to have a tangible asset for thier wealth protection and screwing the youth who will carry the love forward!
Silver Turd after studying seven years at college (not in US) thanks god I didn't pay for my education, I work for 12.5$ and I can't buy a replacement car for my old junk car, that can get me to work and come home , I saw a car (not muscle) for 3000 , I am not able to buy it. Here is youth college graduated honest tax payer ambitious life dipping in poverty because older generation even don't want to retire.
Silver Turd amen brother
+a traveler on the road: Yes a lot of the baby boomers such as my Father bought there houses dirt cheap, my parents paid $30,000 & it's worth close to $250,000. My Father worked at the same factory for 40yrs & retired at 57yrs of age with a decent pension. My Mom&Dad h own a super rare 1975 dodge dart hang ten with a 318 & a crank sun roof. They made hang tens in 1974 & 1975 & they came with a slant six,318,360. My Father also owned two 1971 plymouth roadrunners, one had a 318 & the other a 383 Magnum & he also owned a 69 plymouth gtx with a 440 super commando.
Love the 71 GTX. Needed the 4 sp , and body color bumper.
Beautiful Muscle car.
The rims ruins the whole car
Wael Hadaya PREACH
Yeah, looks terrible, they basically killed the timelessness of the car, from now on everyone will know it was rebuilt 2010-
Amen to that ! Keep ghetto rims on ghetto builds ! A set of Cragar S/T's or Centrelines would've looked the part.I hate all those Coddington or Foose type of wheels.
@@robhaunui3343 Those aren't ghetto wheels those are pos wheels dont dump off shitty wheels on the ghetto foh
Notta gtx... its all good
Who toht the dude at 22 was a chick?
STUSSY KILLA I thought I was going to smack you down verbally, but yeah I confused too!!!
WTF?!?
Nice mugwheels
You guys do more videos like this bro..
It's awesome to watch.
Fake as hell, no way that car sold for that much being a gtx clone bondo wagon.
skoal22005 I’d never buy a clone
you'd be surprised what people pay for stuff. I cloned a 71 Satellite into a Road Runner in the early 90s. After a full restore I sold it as a cloned RR in the mid 90s, for $38k. Then I bought a real 69 GTX for cheap, it needed a full restore, i still own it today.
What’s the difference it’s still a new 426hemi fresh paint all new parts some upgrades basically a high performance and good quality new car so even if it had the right vin number it wouldn’t have changed any of the parts used. So in my opinion it’s a gtx vin or not
Roadkill is sooo much better than this...
I personally like this show more

I'm surprised how much filler(bondo) goes in to 'restoration'!!
Yes, I noticed too, there's a shit load. And the selling price is bullshit. No money made on car. This show. Is crap. You'd go broke if it elsewhere as Australia.
not a fan of the wheels
all the wheels suck now. why not just widen towards the inside and use the correct spacing on a set of original rallye or magnum 500 rims
I smell the government cheese all the way from here when I saw those wheels
Nothing Better then classic purple muscle card
All that awesome under the front end and they leave in the leaf springs on the rear.
his right mans name is Chris brown 😂😂😂😂
DWAIN jnr lol.. i know..Barry White and Chris Brown..lol.. i didn't expect 2 white guys. lol.
Why wait until the last minute to build,?
PPP
I grew up with Coronets and GTS's terrorizing our neighborhood. Owned a '69 Charger in '77. I never liked the '71 body shift for Chargers or RR's but love how this turned out. Commentary was right...stance looks like its gonna run you over.
That's prince's car

9:39 Wrong key, dummy.
You noticed that too? The chrysler symbol shaped key is for the ignition, there should be a round shaped key for the trunk. Maybe the owner didn't give them both keys?
