Wow, that is amazing. My anxiety would be thru the roof owning something that nice. It's beautiful but I just couldn't own it.

The only monster garage episode I have ever watched was the one where he had all the old time custom car guys that were left at the time chop and build a 53? Chevy.
I heard him say at the end of the show that the car would stay with him to his grave. A couple of months later it was in the auction block.
Having said that...
I could buy several cars I liked better for that price.

I don't get the celebrity worship. It doesn't Make the thing they touched worth more. Would you buy buy used toilet paper because someone famous had wiped their but with it?[S[S[S
I am not a fan of either "celeb" mentioned so I don't want it. Jim

I don't like either one of them. Teutul is a loud mouth blowhard who built a bunch of junk. James is just an a$$. I'll give them $5,000 for it if they will deliver

Jesse has a name for a reason, and building a car in a high end shop isn't your local backyard garage. The amount of work it takes to get a car to this level is staggering, and it isn't anyone's job to give away free labor.
TV personalities are just as manufactured as the fake drama & storylines. I have met both of these men in person and I can assure you, they are nothing like the characters they play on television.

Still crazy after all these years!
Those expensive builds by high end shops generally are greatly discounted after they are shown for a few years.
Never met either man but they sure played their parts well on TV.

[cl Good points, BED.

Builder Junky!
BED, I want to underline something you said. "It isn't anyone's job to give away free labor." [Well, except home shop builders]. Home shop builders continually give away most of their labour, and then whine about the high end guys wanting to be paid for theirs. ---- Everyone should get paid for their labour.
I wouldn't buy that car at that price, though, because it isn't my colour and the proportions are not pleasing to me. The workmanship is there though.

Eh, I've seen cars I like better at lower prices. Never was a fan of quad headlights on most cars, don't like one that is channeled so much the tires are above the deck lid. Those seats look uncomfortable, too. And I hate white vehicles! Spent too many days in a white truck, {got one now }, sun reflecting back in your face, blinding you, yuk. Resale red would have been better.
I don't doubt the work is top notch, but a car like that has a limited appeal. Run it across the auction block and see what it's really worth. Probably in the five figure range.
