The Ford Barn

karasmer · 02-26-2014, 10:48 PM

Wheeler dealers is on now, don't care for that one much but there sure seems to be an influx of car shows coming out lately. My son is a new budding filmmaker and I have been trying to talk him into following me around to swap meets, car buys. guy's garages and such, no drama only cars. But he is not to interested in any of that. Sure would be neat to see the premier of the "Ford Barn" tv show on the Velocity channel or..

There are only a couple of "non-drama" car shows. One is hosted by Ray Everham(sp?) and produced by Rick Hendricks. Chasing Classic Cars is proof positive that you can do a show without the drama and last more than a couple of seasons.

Don't care what anybody says, Monster Garage, in spite of the drama, was a winner!

If they would kill the drama on Graveyard Carz that would be one of the best shows out there. I have NO INTEREST in MOPAR Muscle cars whatsoever but I find that show addictive. Way too clean a shop for me but Mark has a passion for what he is restoring, on a level with "Fine Point" quality Model A's. Wayne Carinii's Chassing Classic Cars is shot with him and two other people. He's local, wonder if he might shoot the Cider Mill meet this year if asked? His dad was a top flight A restorer years ago. Bob

For old cars, especially A's, you can't top "The Waltons", still being shown on the Hallmark chanel.

Whats in the Barn is also a good show,they do find a car now and then. I love the vintage bikes. Chassing classic cars is good...I even watch the reruns.
Classic Cruizers is ok,the guy has done alot in his lifetime and his wife Robin...(63) aka Rubber Doll is pretty cool.
Waiting for "Jay Lenos Garage" to start.

Graveyard Carz...Mark's Ego needs adjusting,who would want to work for a guy that acts the way he does?

I don't really care for any of the "car" shows. But, Gas Monkey Garage is somewhat entertaining. At least he knows when he finds a nice antique
car not to chop into a rolling POS.

If you only knew the truth behind the gas monkey show lol the shows a joke, they're just in it for the money. The prices they buy and sell cars at on the show, are fake. They're "adjusted" to make good tv. Hell some of the cars they've "sold" at auction or to customers are fake buys. Remember the A they built in the first episode? The guy that "bought" it for I think 20,000+ was actually related to Aaron. I remember once they sold a truck at auction to a "phone bidder". The truck didn't sell, it was their painters truck, and they didn't have a car to build for the episode, so they just built his truck and pretended to sell it. At the beginning they were getting $15,000 per episode from discovery to use on a car, idk what they get now. Those guys don't do good restorations or hot rods. The only thing real about that show is the fact theta they do build a car in a couple of weeks. But for anyone who is in the restoration/hot rod business knows a good quality car can't be built that fast. All of their cars are 10 footer. But I can't blame them for what they do, if I was gettin paid as much as they do, I'd probably throw something together real fast for tv as well.

Logan is correct especially when you see current episodes of Gas Monkey with the Model A they sold up on a lift or still on the shop floor. Did the guy "return" the car? Is it in for "service"? Possibly the car is buying recycled?

That being said - I watch each and everyone of these type of shows shows. Either I need a life or I am truly a "car -nut"! Thank God for the Velocity Channel.

It is all fun guys -

Be well -

Saw a neat show this week on Velocity Channel (or was it Discovery?). Legendary Motor Cars with the Canadian guy that is on 'What's My Car Worth?' Peter Klatt I believe was his name. He sure has a nice shop. They were rebuilding Mustangs but there were some antiques in the background at his shop. Maybe they'll do some 30's Fords eventually.

Wheeler Dealers is my favorite show, they've been on for 10 years and are filming their 11th season now. As far as I know they have never done a Model A, but that would be awesome! I also like Overhaulin, What's My Car Worth and Chasing Classic Cars. I can't stand Graveyard Carz because of Mark, too much for me. Fantomworks that started last year was good, but has the same issue, the owner is a jerk. Desert Car Kings was good, but It was only on the one season. You know, I just realized, maybe I watch too much T.V.

We had a show based over here on Nat Geo called Car SOS that was a kind of Overhaulin clone but with a more "Classic Car" approach http://natgeotv.com.au/tv/car-sos/ One of the presenters is Fuzz Townshend, a pretty well know guy in UK classic circles. Quite enjoyable on the whole.
