8 PM Central time and then again on @ 11 PM  on Velocity Channel.  Info says it's a new show, but it also says it was released in 2013.  Don't know anything about it other than that, will DVR it and watch it.

Posted this in the technical/Authenticity forum as well.

Pretty disappointing; just a transmission and rag joint repair.  I was hoping for a real restoration.

Hello David

I concur the hype quickly became disappointment.  The final price on that LaSalle was deplorable too.
All good men own a Cadillac but great gentlemen drive a LaSalle. That is the consequence of success.

I didn't like the show either.
Ill probably watch more episodes anyway but the one I like the best is Wheeler Dealers.
They buy a car, do repairs and upgrades, and sell it at the end. They concentrate on one car and show some really good mechanical repairs.

I watch most of the car shows on Velocity.  Can't get enough car stuff I guess.

At least they painted the tranny Cad engine blue before reinstalling it!

I like Wheeler dealers too. Although there is not American cars on it too often, it is probly the most honest car tv show out there. There is no messing around and they get right down to Buissness. Lots of good repair tips in that show.
