Wheeler Dealers

The team knows a rust-free GTO would be a great car to kick off the new U.S. workshop. But these cars are rare, and Mike travels all the way to Chicago to find one. Edd discovers it hides some gremlins, which will make it hard to sell. Will they manage?

The only rust-free Datsun 240Z Mike can find in his budget is an automatic with a wheezing engine. Mike buys it anyway, hoping to turn it into a money-spinner by getting Edd to spice up the engine and swap the sluggish auto for a manual transmission.

This fabulous 50s coupe has more than great styling on its side because under the bonnet is one of the first ever Hemi. Our car has had a BAD custom job, so Mike and Edd set about addressing the damage to give this stunning cruiser back some class.

Mike manages to pry a VW 181 Thing away from the hands of a collector - but forced to dig deep for the purchase - there isn't much left for Edd to deal with an engine that stalls, lethal brakes and an uninviting interior with no heater and bad seats.

A pickup truck is a stateside icon and Mike is keen to get into the booming classic truck market. He manages to find a 1950's F1, which is an unfinished project. Edd creates a paint scheme based on a 'sandstorm in the desert.'

Mike wants a MGA for the U.S. workshop. When Mike tracks down a California car for restoration he thinks it will be easy for Edd. But this isn't the way Edd sees things, and to make matters worse, he refuses to stick to Mike's low budget.

Perhaps the Americas' biggest automotive joke, the AMC Pacer has long topped lists of the world's worst cars. But Mike feels this neglected 1970's hatchback is ready for classic status and he enlists Edd to help make this car cool again.

To stay in budget for a BMW, Mike has to take a real punt on a car that hasn't been started for 17 years. With its complicated mechanical fuel injection system and an engine that hasn't run for 17 years, will Edd be able to bring it back to life?

Mike and Edd wrap the season with a "Best of the USA" episode, highlighting their favorite moments in and out of the new workshop.
