Uncle Josh

Pawn Stars on the History Channel, just bought a nice white 49 Commadore 8 for 20K. Price about right. Whadaya think?

I think that episode of Pawn Stars was shown once before, a white Commodore 8 sedan?

Yup, it's a re-run, first aired around a year ago.

Seller only had the car a couple of years (bought for $10K), didn't do any significant impovements, etc., essentially got it in the condition he sold it in.

Had Rick done a bit of research, they could have found a better example, probably a bit cheaper too...

More than likely, it is now part of the Old Man's collection -

And I think the seller had bought it for $10K. He was quite happy! Michel

Overall a nice car, but a few small details were wrong. Hood ornament had a gold triangle ,should be chrome (51 hornet had a gold triangle and was different design) Wood graining was missing from interior but nicely done two tone colors used. The Hubcaps were refered to on the show as "originial" however they would be more original on a 54 Hornet special. There was an HET decal on the left rear quarter window. Anyone would be hard pressed to duplicate that car for 20K.. IMHO.

I saw the show and wondered how Rick was going to make any money on a resale. Nice car but I think he paid top dollar. Perhaps he just wanted a nice Hudson. We should run over there and get him to join the HET. He would be a good attraction at Laughlin.

And we have no idea what the production company's involvement was in the transaction.
