I always enjoy watching his show. This week he picks up a '56 vette and a /6 from the same guy. The segment at a local restaurant made my mouth water

Watched it on youtube ,appears it had 22k original miles ..wow certainly looked like it too,they mentioned 2.4 motor replacement so that and the goofy gauge setup which would diminish value a bit but still a seriously valuable car.
Don't think we can ever know what Dennis payed for it but not like he is short of $$$$ .

I like Dennis's show. Wrong rear bumper but better engine than the 2.0. I agree the gauge thing is weird. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) but thumbs up to Dennis. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/thumb3d.gif) said he's going to keep it. Maybe we can get him to host an event. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)

The 22k is on an incorrect speedo...
Passenger seat for the driver ?
Flat 15" x 6" Fuchs
Signal Orange and Tangerine are two different colors.
The color code is not L 215 it's L21E which is Tangerine.
A 2.4T is a nice engine but is the original included ? Important value diifference.
Ridiculous sound system.
And plenty more.
Oh ! to hear the actual unedited negotiations. And the price paid.

To his credit he really does praise Sixes

you got a good eye mate.
my list of things was similar as i watched it.
but i didn't want to sound picky.

think the cabin back pad is off a later car? don't really know that stuff re earlier cars,
but it had slots for inertia reel belts.

but still a pretty nice 6 and i bet it gets up and goes.
must have been extensively restored back when in the 80s/90s.

the original 4 the seller's late wife had owned shown in photo looked to be that fantastic light purple color. nice. and sure was nice of him to get the 6 for her as a wedding anniversary present back in time. sweet.

I like Dennis and love 914's but working in the TV business, that video is nearly unwatchable.
