Dereck takes an old truck and paints it red, spruces it up with new tires and new seat material. Then gives a stern comment at the end of the show about past issues with bidding / selling vehicles. Do to NOT over bid just to win, and then not have the funds to pay for the winning.
He paid $840 to spruce it up, put it on eBay for $2,500 and it was already at $7,500 Friday night. The truck was on eBay for one day. I looked now and this is what it says:
"This listing was ended by the seller on Sat, Mar 15 at 8:52 AM because there was an error in the listing." Basically, he said he would can it if the bids went too high because that screws it for others trying to sell by raising the level of what a truck is able to sell for.

Simon breaks his transmission on his AMC Javelin and goes about rebuilding it (first time ever). Interesting to watch the tear down and rebuild of the transmission. Another Simon rescue. I really like his filming of his work. I also like that he is not chattering all the time (if at all) like some car guys (Budget Buildz). He tends to repeat his words and kind of ramble on with words that are self-made jargon.
