You should see the 62 in the show on Prime. It's fully built out. Carr plays a character that has a 62 back into the sedan he's driving.
I talked to Jack for like 20 minutes at a book signing about my 62, and his, so I don't think your assumption is based on truth.I don't care what people say, or what Carr says.....any nutjob that purposefully wrecks and/or damages a 60/62 is not a true fan.
He saw the flash/current coolness of the ICON brand and thats it.
This. The 62 is perfectly fine. Did need to have a rear window replaced, though. Special effects can't quite duplicate shattering a window lol.The 62 wasn't damaged. It was built and had a steel rear bumper.
Hell it could have been special effects for all I know
Anyone who damages a rare/unique/old/valuable vehicle for 3 seconds of TV footage is not a true fan of said vehicle. I don't care if he bought an ICON for $200k and is one of the cool kids now. Why not use a Ford Explorer or something like it? He backed into that car hard...unless it was 100% special effects, that 62 got damaged beyond a window.I talked to Jack for like 20 minutes at a book signing about my 62, and his, so I don't think your assumption is based on truth.

I still disagree. But like my football coach always said, opinions are like assholes. Everyone has one, and they stink.Anyone who damages a rare/unique/old/valuable vehicle for 3 seconds of TV footage is not a true fan of said vehicle.

In no way would I allow my 62 to be used in a car crash scene. I know what I have, have been a fan far before ICON and influencers made them 'cool', and wrecking a 62 does not add to the scene. He obviously just sees it as just another vehicle.

This is @ikarus rig - or at least used to be!Wife tore this out of the most recent Costco magazine & put it on my dresser…It’s an article on importance of keeping your car clean…I complimented her on sharing a picture of the built LX470, she admitted she didn’t notice that but that it might be good for us to share the article with our daughters & their husbands since they don’t keep their cars as clean as I keep ours!!

They've had some good episodes, pretty generic for a car show and really low run time but some of my favorites were the quattro, scout, bronco, defender, cosworth escortWheeler Dealers has a 1979 BJ40 episode.

Motor trend TV says Season 26 Episode 6 but on demand tv shows Season 18 Episode 6.
Either way good episode but they left a lot of the repairs out of the story line.
Oh and there's a surprise near the end...

No not to do with the theft. In the UK for years the insurable classification of a car had to do with engine size/power. They also didn't always go to the advertised power of the car stock, then new it was closer to 300 at the crank from the factory and could vastly exceed that with just a cheap tune. They were as expensive on the insurance meter as most ferraris of the day. The HP for insurance was also factored in to how likely an accident or reckless driving would happen. In the earlier Cossies with the same large turbo as the rally car you got pretty bad turbo lag if the car wasn't tuned properly wich lead to people accelerating out of a corner then have the turbo kick and the car to end up in the nearest farmers fence on country lanes.was the cosworth escort the car that ultimately became uninsurable due to it being stolen so much in the UK?
