Chasing Classic Cars

Wayne is contacted by a collector looking to liquidate his collection of vintage racing Cobras worth upwards of $5.5 million.

The Amelia Island Concours d' Elegance and RM Auction are called the Pebble Beach of the East. Held on Northern Florida's scenic Amelia Island, the weekend has become on of Wayne's first events of the auction season.

An old friend of Wayne's calls him with a project. Hidden away in the garage of his now empty family home is a vintage Duesenberg worth more than a million dollars. He wants Wayne to pull it out of the garage and get it ready for the Newport Concours d'Elegance just a couple of short months away. The deadline is tight, but the Concours benefits Autism Speaks, a cause close to Wayne's heart. His incentive to help the organization find a cure is his youngest daughter, who was diagnosed with autism at an early age.

Wayne has two Jaguars that he plans to sell at the exclusive Bonhams auction in Greenwich, Conn.

Wayne gets a call from a widow looking to sell her husband's 1960 Chevy Impala. Purchased from the second owner in 1981, the car was delivered, put into a barn built especially to house it, and never driven again.

Advertised as a real car "for pre-teen men and women of distinction," the Bimbo is a toy car powered by a 12-volt battery. While not exactly a daily driver, the green power and eclectic nature of this collectible capture Wayne's attention.

Before Wayne can show either of the cars, he must pull the Panhard out of a barn near his shop where it has been stored for 20 years.

While the Falcon is in fact a station wagon, it's got that cool Woodie styling Wayne loves, and he's sure this car will make a great quick flip. After a brief inspection, he buys the car on the spot.

After owning the car for several years, Wayne is hoping that the Pebble Beach lineage will add value to the Muntz when he rolls the dice and puts it up for sale at the prestigious Bonhams auction in Carmel Valley, Calif.

Michael Kittredge, the founder of the Yankee Candle Company, may have made his fortune selling wax and wicks — but his true love is cars. With a collection of more than 50 collector cars and exotics, he's a man who knows what he wants in the garage.

The car is in England, and Wayne is in the United States. There's no way that Wayne will sell the car sight unseen, so he has the Bentley flown in from the UK and delivered to his shop.

Wayne is thrilled when he learns that a Ferrari 375 MM potentially worth 5 to 8 million dollars and a collection of 40 rare motorcycles have quietly come up for private sale.
