Jersey jon: Dude, what's up, man?
You rub a balloon on your hair this morning or something?
Mike: [chuckles] uh actually, no jon, no I didn't.
I actually have a lot of hair.
Hydrogen peroxide builds up in the hair follicle,
And that's what turns the hair gray, okay.
So then the hair multiplies, as you get older,
You know, it gets thicker, and then it gets coarser.
Jersey jon: Dude, you're like a frickin' hair encyclopedia.
Mike: [laughs]
Jersey jon: What you got to do,
Is you got to grow your hair out, like me.
That way it lays flat, it's controllable.
Mike: Do the ponytail and everything.
Jersey jon: Yeah. Do it.

Jersey jon: Where are we going?
Mike: We're going to meet a gal named debra.
Her father was a machinist.
Jersey jon: Cool.
Mike: He collected cars, he worked on cars.
I mean, the guy was a real enthusiast.
Dani said that her family's been on the
Same property for a number of years.
And so he's accumulated a ton of stuff.
Jersey jon: He was a machinist, huh.
Mike: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
There you go.
Jersey jon: Wow, cool man, I'll find some stuff there.
Mike: We're rolling over to meet debra.
Her father, brad, was a serious car guy.
Her cousin, henry, who also loves cars,
Is going to show us around.
Mike: Where is it at, here?
It's right here at this brick house on the right, looks like.
Look at that big barn out back.
Jersey jon: Oh look at the big barn in the back, man.
That's cool yeah.
Mike: When you're a collector,
It's easy to spot other collector's worlds.
Jersey jon: Watch the roof edge.
Mike: I see the roof edge.
Mike: Most people that would drive by a property like this,
They just drive on by.
But for me, I can see the barn, I can see the accumulation,
Before we even pull into the driveway.
Mike: Look it, I got you front row parking here.
Here, grab a...

That's the first thing I saw when I pulled up.
Henry: Yeah, yeah. This is my uncle's truck.
Mike: Check out the window, jersey.
Jersey jon: Small window, man.
Jersey jon: The first I notice about this chevy truck,
Is that, it's not rotted out.
It's really nice.
Mike: This is the look everybody wants
Right now, man.
Henry: Yeah, look at the bumper.
Mike: I know. It's serious, serious.
Who did the work on it?
What's under the hood?
Henry: A v-8.
Mike: Oh yeah. Robin-egg blue fire wall.
Man, you can basically crawl in here and work on this thing.
That's what I love about these.
Is this one of the things you put a number on yet?
Henry: I don't really know.
Let me check debra out and see what she's talking about.
Mike: Okay. What do you think, jersey?
Jersey jon: Got oil in it.
Mike: It's got a little body work on this side.
It's still a solid truck, man.
Anything down here is solid.
Jersey jon: Southern cars, there's no salted roads
Down here, so like, they're not rusted out.
Debra: Ah you made it!
Mike: Hey.
Debra: Hey guys.
Jersey jon: How are you?
Henry: My cousin, debra.

Debra: How are you? Nice to meet you.
Mike: Yeah, nice to meet you.
Jersey jon: Hi, I'm jon. Nice to meet you.
Debra: Nice to meet you, jon.
Mike: Talk to dani on the phone?
Debra: Yeah.
Mike: It's exactly the way you described it.
She was telling me that, you know,
You were in the city but it was a little,
You got a little piece of heaven here.
Debra: Yeah.
Mike: Feels like iowa to me, as soon as we saw the barn.
Debra: Yeah, dad built that himself.
Mike: Yeah.
Jersey jon: Did he?
Mike: So dani said your dad was a machinist.
Debra: Yes, he worked, he worked as a machinist
At a- at a cotton mill.
Debra: He started out as a farmer.
Debra: We had an 8-acre farm over there,
So he was farming that farm.
Mike: Okay. Jersey jon: Wow.
Mike: So when you were a kid, this was all rural, very rural.
Debra: Right.
Debra: All the land around us here was
My mother's grandparents farm.
And it was known as the john alexander farmhouse.
Mike: So I noticed when we pulled in,
We came in from this way, there's a lot of townhouses
And all that stuff, that was- that's all just been creeping up
On you guys the whole time here.
Debra: Yeah, for about the last 15 years.
Mike: Okay.
Debra: Um-hm.
Henry: Yeah.
Debra: It's not like it used to be.
Too much traffic, too many people.
This was a family farm.
Debra: We hated to see to sell, but we had to let it go.
Mike: So your dad always kept this part,
The way it always looked.
Debra: Yeah, just like it was. Yeah.
Mike: With everything going on around them,
It was obviously important for brad to preserve the property
And the lifestyle that his family
Had known for generations.
Debra: I was born here, my parents were born here.
Well, my mom was born right across the street,
On the whole block.
Mike: No kidding. Jersey jon: Wow.
Debra: Yeah.
Mike: You got some family roots here.
Debra: Mmm hmm.
Mike: Very cool.
I can't even imagine being on the same property that long.
Debra: After selling it all, dad went to work for a
Cotton mill as a machine mechanic.
So he kept all the machine's going,
Keep the mills going.
And that spilled over into other things like cars and
Whatever else he could put his hands on to fix it.
He liked to fix things.
Debra: He came home from work and worked on his cars.
Debra: He was doing projects as long as his body would let him.
Mmm hmm.
Debra: Mom had to make him come in the house.
Mike: Yeah?
[group laughing]
Debra: Yeah. It's time to come in.
Mike: Sometimes working for somebody else,
That's what you have to do.
But when you have those projects at home and
You're doing that work and you're waist-deep in it,
That's the kind of stuff that keeps your batteries
Charged and keeps you going.
Mike: Is this something that you guys are going to sell?
Debra: Let me just give you an idea how long
This truck's been in the family.
My uncle left here in 7- in the '70s,
Dad brought it home.
I moved from this house in '88, he moved me to my first house.
He moved me to my second house.
Some things that I needed from my last house,
He moved it in this truck.
Mike: [laughs] so this is the moving truck.
Debra: Yeah.
Jersey jon: Yeah.
Mike: We can't sell that then!
Mike: It's not unusual for a collector to feel like the
Things that they've collected, are part of the family.
But what's cool here is that debra understands this,
And feels the exact same way.
Debra: When he was res- restoring the motor,
He had me helping him put the pistons in.
Mike: No kidding!
Jersey jon: Really, cool!
Mike: How old were ya?
Debra: Probably about 12.
Debra: It wasn't too much fun, because it was other
Things that kids wanted to do.
But he taught me a lot of things about perseverance for one,
Getting it done and doing it right.
Mike: That's awesome.
Jersey jon: Wow, that's so cool.
Mike: That's very cool.
Debra: Um-hm.
Jersey jon: Yep.
Mike: When a father teaches his daughter how to work with
Her hands, there's a lot of lessons learned there.
Independence, self-confidence.
But the biggest thing, is a sense of pride
In what you're doing.
Debra: Dad passed away in January.
Been time to get rid of some of this stuff, so...
Mike & jersey jon: Yeah.
Debra: That's why you're here.
Mike: Well I'm glad that you called us.
Debra: So it's time to share with someone.

Not in great shape.
But they still have value.
Mike: I mean, this thing... In this shape's like, 3, 35.
Mike: The foundation of that value is the memories.
Mike: I'm always loved the body style of these.
I had a neighbor when I was growing up as a kid,
He had mustangs, he was always working on
Mustangs out on his driveway.
Mike: The guy that wants the ss nova,
The guy that wants the '67 mustang,
They can look beyond the rot and think,
"you know what, this is a price range that I can afford.
And I could probably do a lot of the work myself."
That's the buyer for these cars.

You have a- a shelf full of hardware.
Henry: Yeah.
Jersey jon: New-old stock, nuts and bolts, screws.
Jersey jon: This hardware, you can't buy in the store nowadays.
It's not for sale anywhere.
Jersey jon: I love old hardware, I use it in my- in my job.
I would do 75 bucks for all this hardware right here,
That whole shelf right there - from there to there.
Henry: Okay.
Jersey jon: Okay?
Henry: Yeah, I'll do that.
Jersey jon: Thank you, henry, appreciate it, man.
Henry: Yeah. Mike: Ugh...
Jersey jon: Hey... Henry!
Henry: Yo.
Jersey jon: I want to show you this.
Henry: That's the vise uncle brad and I used.
Jersey jon: Yeah?
Well this is a, actually it's an emmert's pattern maker's vise.
It's a k-1.
Henry: Okay.
Jersey jon: It was made in pennsylvania.
Henry: Okay.
Jersey jon: It's for a pattern making shop.
A shop that made patterns for gears or something like that.
He worked at the machine shop.
Henry: Right, he worked at the machine shop,
So yeah that might have been-
Jersey jon: ....That's probably where this came out of.
Jersey jon: Wooden patterns, they would use them in the,
In the industry when they're casting a gear,
You need a pattern to make a casting.
Jersey jon: See this rotates all the way around.
And you could hold wood different ways.
It's a, they're cool vises.
And I love these things.
Jersey jon: It's pretty intricate.
It's almost like you're a machinist in wood.
Jersey jon: I would pay you $200 for this vise.
Henry: 2-and-a-quarter.
Jersey jon: Yeah... 2 -and -a -quarter?
Man, no problem.
Henry: Alright.
Jersey jon: Yeah no, I appreciate it.
I really want this thing.
Jersey jon: It's like a 3 -in-1 vise that are
Very, very desirable.
And really hard to find.
Mike: Alright, here now we're talking.
Look at that!
Now we're talking, jersey, something from the '30s.
Henry: Yeah, oh yeah.
Jersey jon: Ah cool.
Mike: Oh yeah... You know what this is,
This is a '32 model b.
Mike: '32 ford pickup truck.
Henry: '32.
Mike: Oh '32, baby, right there. [wolf whistles]
Henry: Okay.
Mike: Alright, look at this thing,
It's solid, man, what's here.
Jersey jon: Motor's in it.
Mike: Yeah... So here's- here's the beauty of this truck.
It's a '32 model b.
Henry: Right.
Mike: But what it's got going for it,
Is it's a '32, it's a '32 chassis.
Mike: It's an incredible project because it's a '32 ford chassis,
Which will basically fit in anything on the line,
You know - roadster, coupe, 3 -window, 5 -window.
Mike: So, a lot of guys would look at this truck 2 ways - they
Would look at it and be like, you know what,
I'm looking for a '32 model b truck;
Or they would look at it as, you know hey,
That's a '32 chassis.
Mike: I'm a freak for '32s, and a lot of guys are,
Because it was such a monumental year for henry ford.
Henry: Right, right.
Mike: I guarantee you he knew what this was.
Mike: He kept it all the way in the back of the barn,
Where it was nice and dry and quiet.
Mike: He was smart to keep this, he was smart to buy this.

Robbie: So growing up as a kid around this stuff,
I mean, what...
Prompted your dad to get into the motorcycle thing,
I mean, where did that come from?
Dwayne: Well he- he worked with small engines...
Robbie: Yeah.
Dwayne: He had an automotive and small engine repair.
Dwayne: I was a teenager, and so I swept the floor,
Did everything, you know.
Dwayne: He was working with this company out of memphis
That had chain, mcculloch chainsaws...
Robbie: Yeah.
Dwayne: And they got bridgestone motorcycles
And asked him to try.
Dwayne: So then... We got motorcycles.
I started doing mechanic work, wasn't making a lot of money,
But I sure was having a lot of fun.
Robbie: When did he switch from bridgestone to something else?
Dwayne: Okay, well he took yamaha on in '66.
And then we got honda in '67.
Robbie: In the late '60s, early '70s,
The japanese motorcycle came into america
And it just changed the game.
Dwayne: Going into the museum, this is my brother, dan.
Robbie: Hey what's up, dan, how are you doing?
Danielle: Hey dan, how are ya?
Dwayne: This is my son, lee.
Danielle: There you go... I got that.
Robbie: Lee, you guys selling anything today?
Lee: Yeah.
Dwayne: I liked vintage motorcycles.
I just started collecting them.
And then we decided to build this museum to
Entice people to visit our dealership.
Danielle: Woo...
Robbie: Holy cow, you weren't kidding!
Danielle: Look at that!
Dwayne: A lot of these bikes that I have,
Some of them I bought new in the '60s.
Dwayne: Got a few in here.
Robbie: Dude, you got everything in here!
Danielle: Goodness.
Dwayne: I go to these auctions,
I go to all the vintage swap meets.
And of course that's where they're all at.
Plus, a lot of people know I have this museum,
And the bikes just find me.
Dwayne: I got... From 1901 up to the like '80s in here.
Danielle: Wowsa!
Robbie: Royal enfield twin.
Danielle: Oh yeah.
Dwayne: Now I got a lot that are unrestored.
And then I got a lot that are restored.
Alright, this one right here's pretty neat.
This is a 1968 350 honda.
Robbie: Yeah.
Dwayne: It was the first year for a 350.
Dwayne: The japanese bikes, especially honda,
When they first came out, you know,
They were small bikes.
Dwayne: And this is a prototype.
Its serial number 8.
And number 1 through number 10 were pre-production prototypes.
Dwayne: Harley-davidson had mostly just big bikes and
They were expensive, but these were affordable.
They was like $249.
And young kids got on them, and they had fun,
They enjoyed them, and they were very reliable.
And then, when they got ready for a bigger one,
They stuck with a honda.
♪♪
Robbie: You got one of these...
But do you got any sandcast here?
Dwayne: I do have 2 sandcasts.
Complete bikes, restored, ready to go.
Robbie: Wow!
Dwayne: The sandcast, the 750 honda four,
First year was '69, that's what this is.
And the first 7,000 were all basically hand-built.
And they sand-casted the cases because they didn't know...
Danielle: Ah okay.
Robbie: Yeah.
Dwayne: ...If it was going to be a success or not.
Robbie: Honda didn't know how well these were going to sell in
The united states, so they didn't want to
Invest that much in the tooling.
Dwayne: After they found out what a success it was,
Then they started die-casting the cases.
Robbie: Right.
This is serial number 3,500.
Dwayne: Yeah, so this is right in the middle of the sandcast.
Robbie: Dude, you...
Dwayne: Now I have another one over here we'll look
At in a minute, that's serial number 313.
Robbie: Oh wow.
Dwayne: So it was probably made on the second
Or third day of production.
Danielle: Hoh...
Dwayne: Now I- I've seen these go for like a hundred thousand.
Robbie: Yeah.
Dwayne: This is not worth a hundred thousand, but maybe...
Robbie: Why?
What's the difference between a
Hundred- thousand- dollar bike and this one?
Dwayne: The serial number.
Robbie: Yeah.
Well, so the other one's the hundred-thousand.
Dwayne: It's closer.
Robbie: Yeah?
Dwayne: Everybody knows about them says
They're not topped out either.
Robbie: They keep going up.
Dwayne: Right.
Robbie: It's- it's a great investment piece,
I mean, for sure.
They're not going down, I mean, they don't produce them.
Dwayne: I tried the stock market several years back,
And I didn't know anything about the stock market,
I didn't know where it was, I couldn't control
Anything about it.
Dwayne: So I quit doing the stock market
And I started doing motorcycles.
Dwayne: That has worked out really nice.
Robbie: I want to see the other bike.
Dwayne: Okay, it's right over here.
Robbie: Yeah.
Dwayne: The japanese bikes just kept getting better
And better and faster, the speed was there.
That was what people wanted.
Dwayne: This one.
Robbie: Wow!
Dwayne: That's the original color.
That's not original paint, obviously.
I restored it.
Robbie: See that, see the sandcasting?
See the casing?
Danielle: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah I see the difference. So you're saying...
This bike here is the one that changed everything.
Dwayne: Everything before this, they didn't have disc brakes,
It's a multi-cylinder, it's smooth...
Danielle: Ah, okay.
Dwayne: ...It didn't leak oil, it had electric start.
Robbie: The honda 750 was a game-changer across the world.
Basically this bike, the way it was designed,
Engineered, out of the box you could go 130-mile-an-hour.
Danielle: So literally everything
On it was just better.
Dwayne: Right.
Danielle: Built better.
Okay, okay.
Dwayne: Now this whole motorcycle was...
Robbie: State-of- the-art, yeah.
Dwayne: State-of-the-art.
Several of those other companies folded up after this came out.
Dwayne: You know, we knew the japanese bikes were good.
And then...
When they came out with the 750 honda,
I can remember vividly, the first one we got in.
And when we cranked that up, it sounded like a ferrari.
[engine sounds]
Dwayne: I could remember that sound.
And it changed the motorcycle world.
Robbie: Where is the bike you won daytona on?
Dwayne: Second.
Danielle: [laughs]
Robbie: Okay, second.
Dwayne: It's right over here.
Robbie: You act like that's like not an achievement there,
Come on.
Dwayne: Well, it was for me, second place was,
It was really...
Robbie: Yeah. Danielle: Yeah.
Dwayne: But this thing looks kind of rough,
But back in the day, it was- and this is a original condition.
Robbie: How old were you when you won?
Dwayne: Second. [chuckles]
Robbie: Yeah?
Dwayne: 1974.
Robbie: So.
Dwayne: So I was uh... 24.
Dwayne: The race at daytona, it's a road race at
Daytona international speedway.
And it's like...
The holy grail of motorcycle racing, used to be.
It's not now, but it used to be that was the...
Biggest event in the world.
Dwayne: For what it is, and when it was,
It was pretty fast.
Dwayne: I was really proud of getting second there.
I don't think I could have been any happier if I would have won.
Mike: Is this something that...
That you guys would consider selling?
Henry: I think so.
Mike: Okay.
Mike: '32 ford pickup truck.
Mike: Then what I'd like to do is,
If we could pull the stuff out of the bed,
And see exactly what's here.
Jersey jon: Yeah.
Mike: Then we can, you know, gauge the value of it more,
You know what I mean?
Henry: That'll work, that'll work.
Jersey jon: Wait, mike wait-wait-wait-wait...
You got to get the dash out...
Mike: What you got... Okay... Whoa...
So he's got 2 front fenders, he's got one rear,
No he's got- he's got both rear fenders.
He's got both rear fenders right here.
Mike: You know, as soon as we start pulling everything out
Of the truck bed, I'm looking over at henry,
And he's into this, man.
He's into it just like we are, he's looking it all over,
He's getting excited.

I like it, you know, to see it really coming to life.
Mike: So now that we've done a little bit of a sketchy assembly
Here, um have you guys talked about a number?
Henry: Yeah, this thing if sat together,
Somewhat presentable, I think, retail would be like 11-5.
Mike: Yeah, you're talking about like the way it is now,
But just put together.
Henry: Yeah.
Jersey jon: Put the fenders on and bolt them up.
Mike: Yeah.
Henry: Right, right.
Mike: I don't think you're out of hand with 11-5.
But are you going to do that?
Are you going to get it out and do that and put it together?
Henry: Nope.
Mike: No?
Henry: No, don't think so.
Mike: Well then why don't we do this then?
I'm interested in the truck.
I'm interested for like, like 75.
Because the thing is, at 75, I'm at 85.
Henry: Well, let me shoot her at 85.
Mike: Okay, let me think about it then.
Henry: [laughs] okay.
Mike: This is an interesting vehicle.
You know, what's great about it is,
It's a panel van.
Henry: Right, right, right, right.

He was an old dude, with a straw hat on,
Sat at the end of his road and charged everyone 5 bucks.

It was like a mud bog.
When you got back to his land, it was all up
And down the wapsie about 200 acres.

Bottoms, back out and jump them and- it was just insane time!

Did you guys put the primer on there?
Debra: Put the primer on, he had- he had it ready for paint.
Debra: Everything except put the paint back on.
He bought all the parts, made sure he had everything to put it
Back together, and it just got pushed aside
For everything else he had to do.

Thank you.
Debra: Dad, he would be so- he would be so proud.
Henry: If he was here now, and knew that that truck sold
For 10 grand, he'd be smiling right now.
Mike: Oh my gosh.
Debra: Yeah.
Mike: I'll tell ya, henry man.
I'll tell you, he's just crazy as us.
Henry: [laughs]
Mike: You should have seen the way he looked at me when I said,
"hey what do you think about us getting this out of here?"
[group laughing]
Debra: I'd rather see it, someone getting some
Use out of it than just sitting in a corner.
Mike: Alright.
Debra: And I'm sure dad would be pleased with that.
Henry: Hey, look out.
Jersey jon: Thank you.
Mike: Thanks, boss.
What else you got, is that it?
Mike: I love this truck, probably just as much as he did.
And that's the connection.
Mike: I love this piece, and we will-
And we will take care of it.

Mike: It is.
Jersey jon: Yeah.

Jersey jon: Yeah, it's a pleasure meeting you.
Debra: You too.
Henry: Yeah, that's right.

A powerful connection there.
And that's what all this is about.
