I don't know when this video was created or when Gas Monkey visited Muskogee Oklahoma to see these cars.  I attended an auction in Shawnee Oklahoma last Saturday and I believe the very same 63 split window corvette was auctioned off; the details of the owner and the corvette appear identical. It sold for 140K. The offer of 130K from Richard was very accurate based on the condition of the car. I wonder where the 68 Shelby convertible is?

I purposely haven't watched anything that Azz Monkey Richard has been involved with for a few years, but does it seem to you guys like he's mellowed a bit in his old-ish age?

I didn't watch the entire video, but I didn't see one devil's horns hand gesture or hear that goofy WHHHOOOP noise he makes.

It must be those early morning beers.
Alcohol is classified as a Central Nervous System Depressant, meaning that it slows down brain functioning and neural activity. .......
Alcohol can depress the central nervous system so much that it results in impairment such as slurred speech, unsteady movement, disturbed perceptions, and an inability to react quickly. Alcohol reduces an individual's ability to think rationally, lessens inhibitions, and distorts judgment.

Besides the "stripe delete" gaffe, I also noticed the car has Lucas lights (that is if the Marchal statement was even correct).

A black originally ordered by Playboy GT350 is very cool tho - sounds like it is in good hands now hopefully.

The ten cars were actually loaned to Playboy for the grand opening of the Lake Geneva club. I think there were two cars that stayed at the club for a year. So far, I haven't seen the pictures, but I suspect there are some.

Obviously Playboy and Shelby had a  long relationship

It must have been done a while back because he kept talking about talking to and needing to call, his Jeep Buddy (can't remember his name) and they have parted ways a couple Years ago.

YEP, that's him.  Richard kept talking as if they were still best buds.

Only posted a week ago and the cars just sold. Dennis was Richard's wallet until he figured out he could do it himself - cheaper. Richard doesn't strike me as having a 1/4 mil in cash lying around but does seem to shop for cars he has clients ready to buy.

Like Van mentioned, and I agree. Richard Rawlins of Gas Monkey Garage is the most annoying guy/show on cable. He ruins everything he touches.

I guess I am no more annoyed by him, than any other actor. Its a shtick. Its served him well and I don't begrudge someone being successful. There are a lot of people that are a lot more annoying.

Yes, I agree. The guy on 'Graveyard Cars' (forgot his name) is also very annoying. However, he does turn out beautifully restored Mopars. You can see the passion he has for those cars. Rawlins is just another wheeler dealer TV pitchman...only out for the fame and cash.
