[mellow hip-hop music playing]

[Shawn] Take it all in. Here it is.

You can see why this is a $60,000 car all day long.

[Nick] So this resto-mod Chevelle that Mark and the team

put together is an absolute stunner.

It's worth every bit of 60,000,

which is the going rate for a super high-end resto-mod

of this kind of caliber.

So I thought of you when I saw the car. It's a little bit more subtle.

If you keep looking,

you just keep seeing little, tiny differences from the standard car.

But, right now, Ryan's the only buyer

that we were able to conjure up on short notice.

And we'd love to sell this car today, right here, right now.

Because we really need the profit from this Chevelle

to supplement the cost of our big Ferrari build.

If you, uh... you want to get inside. Go ahead and fire it up.

[engine rumbling]

[Shawn] Hit that gas a little bit.

[engine revving]

How's that, huh?

-That is all right. -[Shawn] Yeah.

-Is that enough muscle for you? -I think that'll do.

-[Mark chuckles] -[Ryan clears throat]

[Ryan] That sounds good. This is... This is clean.

You know, when we talked before about doing a commission build,

I was thinking, you know, from the ground up.

Never would've thought of a Chevelle.

[suspenseful music playing]

But... the way this all came together...

[music ends]

...this looks amazing.

You guys got yourself a deal.

Sweet. Thank you, Ryan. Appreciate it. I know you're gonna enjoy it.

That Chevelle is a surprise.

It is not what I was expecting, but I love it.

This build was more custom, but not over-the-top.

Just my kind of style.

And this is fantastic.

All the detail work that's been done to this car,

the shaved drip rails really came out clean.

Those little touches helped make the overall package. I love it.

[Shawn] Man, that was a toss-up there for a second.

Yeah, but you know what? I knew as soon as I fired up that car

and he heard all that American muscle, it'd make this deal go through.

-[Nick] Let's do some paperwork. -[Ryan] Let's do it.

You know, at 60 grand, we're bringing in a little over 33 grand in profit.

That'll give us a nice pot of money to work with on the Ferrari project.

Man, this was worth it. All the work that you put in pays off.

It paid off. The drip rails are everything.

[clicking]

[whirs]

[engine stalls, revs]

[upbeat rock music playing]

-[Nick] So, Ryan. -Did he love the car or what?

He loved the car. I saw him at Cars & Coffee on Sunday morning.

-Oh, you did? -He was there with the car.

-People taking photographs. -Already?

[Mark] What's happening?

You always look so happy when you're in here talking.

See. We're just... We're... We're rays of sunshine.

[Shawn] Now that we have the Chevelle sold

and we can focus all our energy into the Ferrari build,

Mark wants to sit down with me and Nick

and talk about a plan for selling that car.

Let's talk about some business now.

What are we gonna do for the Ferrari sale? You talked about it, you been thinking.

Now that I have a vision of how I'm gonna put this car together,

I am very confident that this car is gonna be worth upwards of 200,000.

[Nick] Yep, should be.

[Mark] And obviously we want this car to kick down the door with Nick's clients

and establish the shop to show them what we can do.

So, I think the way to sell this car is to get all those people together

at an event for the car.

Oh, you're talking about, like, a car show

or... or you talking like a auction or something?

No, I'm talking bigger.

This is the most prestigious car we've ever built at the shop.

So, in my opinion, we need to do something special for it.

I want something extremely exclusive,

and we just do an unveiling

that is specifically designed to focus on our car

with all the clients standing around it.

Getting all of these clients to see the car in person at the same time

will create a totally unique environment for selling the car.

We set it up at a winery.

And we just give them dinner, drinks.

-Wine 'em and dine 'em. -And then... Exactly.

And then we unveil the car.

A few years ago, we did a virtual auction to sell the concept vehicles.

[Shawn] I got Dan at 175.

-Here you are. 180 right here. -[Shawn] 180 to Alex!

[Mark] And the fact that our buyers couldn't all be in one place at one time

totally created a disadvantage for selling the car and the bike,

and the bids fell short.

Two twenty-five. That's it. That's as much as I can do.

[Mark] Nothing beats live and in person,

so people can gawk over the car and compete to get their hands on it.

'Cause that's gonna give us the best chance

to get the big money for that car.

-That's actually pretty... I like that idea. -Yeah. I like the idea.

The only problem I see is all these guys are on crazy schedules

and... and gettin' them all in the same place at the same time...

-That's gonna be kind of tricky. -Yeah.

The only thing I can think of is if we tie this in with an existing event,

something where they're coming into town anyway,

and we can draw them away for the evening.

Uh, the one that jumps to mind is the LA Auto Show.

All the guys are coming in from all over the country.

They wanna come see the prototypes, the latest models, the latest technology.

They'll be here.

Isn't that show like two and a half weeks away?

Well, therein lies the problem.

Any other events, maybe a little bit later down the road they might all be in town?

[Nick] Nothing till the middle of next year.

I mean, two and a half weeks is a very short timeline,

but if that's the only time your guys are gonna be in town,

then we're just gonna have to do it.

Can we get the car done?

Hey, we did the XNR in three weeks, and now we got Brian and Jake in there,

-so I don't see any reason why not. -Well, that's true. Okay.

[Mark] So, you guys really gotta work this thing.

Get as many high-end clients there as possible,

so we can guarantee we'll get 200 grand for this thing.

And I'm gonna leave you all the details, and I'm gonna go get to work.

[anthemic rock music playing]

Two and a half weeks isn't the fastest timeline we've ever been on,

but this Ferrari needs to be one of the most handcrafted cars we've built.

I want this car to be a collage

of all the best design features of Ferrari's history.

We're gonna take inspiration from some of their best F1 cars,

supercars, and Le Mans cars

and apply those parts and pieces all on this one car

to create our own personal homage to Ferrari.

But this is a very bold move.

It's almost unheard of for a shop to modify a Ferrari in this way.

And even though Nick's client base has expressed interest in a modified Ferrari,

this is a purist crowd.

So, they may initially balk at the overall modifications,

but if we can be absolutely perfect

with our design elements and craftsmanship,

I think we'll be able to win them over.

[music ends]

So this is gonna be the front spoiler, and it will mount up underneath here.

Okay.

[Mark] And then, on this side, we're gonna cut this piece off

'cause this is gonna step out.

So when this is out here floating in space,

you have to connect that down into here.

-Little bit of Formula 1-style front wing? -[Mark] Yep.

Ferrari's probably got the best track record in Formula 1.

They dominated it for decades.

And since these collectors love Ferrari's racing history,

I wanna build out this front spoiler in that same F1 style.

What do you think that piece is worth? Five grand, ten grand?

[both chuckling]

If I know one thing about Ferrari buyers,

they are aficionados when it comes to Ferrari's history.

We're gonna have to tape it exactly square on the car.

So, I'm betting this is a feature they will immediately recognize.

So, tell me when I'm even stephen.

[Tony] More to my side.

-That's pretty close. -[Mark] Tape... Tape yours up right there.

It's definitely gonna suck your eyeball down

when you look at this, especially when it's on the ground.

Yeah, I like it.

[Mark] We can start sculpting the side pieces

and get it carbon fibered together.

-Sounds good. I got it. -[Mark] Sweet.

[dramatic music playing]

[Tony] Look, obviously, this two-and-a-half-week timeline

is gonna be tough,

but my bigger concern is the type of work we're doing to the car

within that timeline.

We're making pretty major body modifications to a Ferrari,

and you're just not supposed to do that.

Dude, that is gonna look like it was actually made for the car.

Yeah. So we just need to glass this in, and we're almost done.

[Mark] There you go. Well, done with the front.

For sure.

[chuckles]

[Tony] This is a sacred car.

If any of these changes seem out of place

or they just don't flow with the car, we're screwed.

Once it's done, it's done.

And we definitely don't have the timeline to back our way out of any big mistakes.

[music ends]

It's all dry. Once we blend the paint in, it's gonna look flawless.

Yep. I think it'll mesh together with that front spoiler

pretty well when it's finished.

[Tony] It almost looks like a factory piece.

[Jake] It fits good.

Well, now that we got the front done, next up,

I wanna get those front and rear cameras installed.

Caveman, Constance, that's all you.

The rest of us?

-We'll start prepping the quarter panels. -Okay.

[dramatic rock music playing]

Exactly. So, we're gonna throw a big party at one of the wineries

and unveil the car to everyone.

How cool is that?

[man 1] Hey, you know me, Shawn. Once you said party, I was all in.

Now, that's what I like to hear.

[Nick] You've really gotta experience this car in person

to understand what the shop is capable of.

[man 2] Well, let me see if I can free up some time in my schedule.

Now that we have a plan in place for selling this car,

Nick and I are calling all our contacts

and trying to get as many clients as possible to this party.

It's gonna be the ultimate Gotham Garage Ferrari.

[man 3] I'm excited to see it.

[man 4] You think this would stand out in my collection?

I mean, you've seen my collection.

Shops don't modify Ferraris like this, so it's really gonna be one of a kind.

[Shawn] We've really gotta stack the deck in our favor

because if I know anything about Mark,

it is a must that we hit that $200,000 price.

Right now, we're looking to get 200 grand on this car,

but that's just a ballpark.

[man 5] Yeah, that's a good amount of cash.

Obviously, I'll need to see the car first.

When he gets a price stuck in his head, he can be very stubborn.

Case in point, the virtual launch from a few years ago.

One thirty-five right here.

Alex, I'll take your 135.

He was adamant about getting 250 grand for that car and bike.

And even though it only fell short by 25 grand, 225...

-Yes. ...he still wasn't willing to settle.

It's not enough. It's still not 250.

[Shawn] It's gonna be worth it, trust me.

You know, the more people we can get to attend,

the better chance we have of selling this Ferrari for 200 grand.

-[line rings] -[Andy] Hello?

Andy, Nick Smith. How are you?

Good, Nick. How are you?

So far, I'm getting a great response to the party,

but there's one client I wanna reach out to

that could really push things over the top.

Um, the reason for my call is

we're in the throes of... of building a custom Ferrari.

It's a Ferrari 360 Spider,

but it's not like any 360 Spider you've ever seen.

Nice. That's interesting.

[Nick] His name's Andy, on the East Coast.

He's got his own collection. He's a big heavy hitter.

We're actually going to unveil it at... at an event.

Okay.

Uh, we've timed this so it's in conjunction with the LA Auto Show.

It's a bit of a long shot because I know Andy's such a busy guy,

but having someone like Andy at the party could be huge for us.

Great. I can't promise anything,

but I will see if I can work it into my schedule somewhere.

That would be great. Thank you so much for taking the time, Andy.

-I know you're busy. Thank you so much. -You got it. Bye, Nick.

[dramatic synth music playing]

[music fades]

[Tony] You guys wanna install this camera system?

-[Caveman] Hell yeah! -[tool whirring]

[blows] All right, who needs some dentist work done? Constance?

You need any teeth filled?

[tool whirs]

[Constance] Um, no, I'm good.

[Caveman grunting]

[groans]

[Constance] While Mark, Tony, Brian, and Jake start prepping the fab work

for the rear of the car,

Caveman and I are gonna install the front and rear cameras.

I don't know if you wanna see this. These are very tiny.

[Caveman] Want me to put those little screws in?

[Constance] Yeah.

I don't know how the hell you want me to do that.

[Constance] This isn't necessarily a throwback to Ferrari's design history,

but it's something that we've added to high-end cars here in the past.

[Caveman] Look at that.

[Constance] The front and rear cameras will connect to the rearview mirror,

and it's not a feature that came stock on these Ferraris when they were built.

So, this essentially gives it a modern Gotham update,

which will add value to the car.

[Caveman] All right.

All right, let's see if this works. Caveman, look in the camera.

Hey, can you see me, uh, in there?

How do I look? Does the camera really add ten pounds?

[Constance laughs]

Is it as good-looking as I am? What do my tonsils look like?

[Constance] No.

[all laughing]

-No? -No. That was too close.

[chuckles]

-Other than that, it's okay? -[Constance] I think this totally works.

So, let's button this up and start helping the guys on the rear fenders.

[laughs]

[exciting rock music playing]

[Mark] Now that you guys are all suited up and ready to go into battle,

the gelcoat set, so now we'll put the fiberglass over the top.

-[Tony] Make our mold? -[Mark] Make the mold.

One of the biggest changes we're making to this car

is we're gonna exaggerate the rear quarter panels.

The idea behind this is to make the rear of the car

look more like the Le Mans cars of the '60s.

Old Le Mans cars

were some of the most popular and timeless body designs

ever made by Ferrari.

The whole point was to make the car still look sexy,

but make it as aerodynamic as possible

because this is an endurance race,

so you need every speck of gas to go as far as it possibly can.

-Long strips are for the top... -[Tony] 'Kay.

...and then the little strips are for inside this pocket.

Make sure that the hair goes underneath the car.

So, fuzzy side under.

[chuckling] Fuzzy side under and we'll be fine.

[tense music playing]

[Jake] With a super high-end car like this Ferrari,

these are some of the most beautiful cars in the world,

and the flow, the lines, the aerodynamics of these cars,

it's hard to look at one and come up with something that you could change.

[Tony] This is definitely a highlight of my career now.

[Mark chuckles] Yeah.

[Tony] Nobody would ever let us borrow their Ferrari to make some body molds.

-You have to rent one. And then do it. -[all chuckling]

If you really look at a Ferrari, there isn't very many body lines.

Everything is round and smooth and perfect.

-Everything just flows. -[Brian] Yeah.

The best body shapers in the world

had their hands in designing the Ferrari.

So, it's basically like making changes to a famous sculpture.

If your work doesn't match perfectly, it's gonna stand out.

[epic music playing]

[Tony] Okay.

[Mark] All we gotta do is start laying some carbon fiber.

This carbon fiber is so easy to shape.

It's definitely the best way to give it that rounded form like the Le Mans cars.

A high-end client, they can really appreciate

the amount of work and the craftsmanship that goes into it.

[Tony] That's what clients at this level want.

-They want the thing that nobody else has. -[Mark] Right.

The ramifications for this Ferrari project are massive.

If we knock the build out of the park and impress this crowd,

it'll potentially make us the go-to shop

within Nick's circle of clients.

But that's a big if.

All right. Moment of truth.

Ferrari collectors are some of the most discerning buyers on the planet.

So our work needs to be hyper meticulous.

-[Jake] Look. That came out perfect. -[Mark] Let's go get it installed.

Any of our potential buyers will pick this car apart,

unlike anything we've ever built.

[Tony] Yep, I'm gonna tear.

[tool whirring]

[Mark] Good job, bro.

[Tony] It's coming out pretty nice.

All the little things we do to finish it up will make it nicer.

Yeah. We're getting pretty close to the finish line here,

so tomorrow, we can start body work on the car.

[dramatic synth music playing]

So the place I locked up, you know, we're talking short notice,

but I think I've got the perfect place for us.

Yeah?

They've got a really nice courtyard that'd be

-the perfect setting to stage this car. -Good.

Shawn and I have done just about everything

we can to create some major buzz around this party.

We've even got an amazing winery to host the event.

We could do the event at night. It'd be all lit up.

Nice.

It'll make everybody feel like this is a one-of-a-kind event.

But the fact of the matter is, this car is still a huge swing for us.

I'm confident in the shop's ability,

but a modified Ferrari's just something you don't see every day.

So, it could either be a game changer for the garage

that gets us some serious traction with my clients,

or it could be a spectacular failure.

It's... It's pretty unique. You're gonna like it.

I can guarantee you you'll be the only guy in town with one.

[Nick] We're putting it all on the line with this party,

and we're gonna find out almost immediately

if there's a market for this kind of car within my world of collectors.

[Shawn] Okay, so you're on board.

Fantastic. See you then. Take care. Bye-bye.

[suspenseful music playing]

[Mark] So, now that we got all the primer on it,

all we gotta do is sand the car,

and then I can get this thing painted,

and we can get it put back together

in time for the special event that we're taking it to.

So let's start knocking this out.

-[Brian] Sounds good. -All right.

[dramatic synth music playing]

Historically, Ferrari is known as a company that builds handcrafted cars.

And I want this car to be no different.

That's why we're handling all of the bodywork here in house.

This is the whole bag of chips.

This is where we find out if we belong or not.

This body work needs to tie in all of our modifications

with the original body lines of the Ferrari.

And it all needs to flow seamlessly.

We need to take our time and finesse this so that it all comes out perfect

because the bodywork shows through paint.

So, when all of these high-end buyers show up to see this car unveiled,

it needs to seem like this car

came straight from the main Ferrari factory in Maranello, Italy.

[music fades]

You heard from Nick and Shawn about the guest list?

Have they got the event filled up yet or...

-It sounds like they got a ton of people. -Yeah?

Let's just say, for their sake, it better be a packed house.

It only takes one person with a lot of money,

but the odds are better with a lot of people with a lot of money.

This is a long way from rat rods and T-buckets.

This is some big-time stuff we got going on here.

I'm pretty stoked. I think it's been a long journey,

but I think we're all finally there.

Yeah. I'm just thinking about where we're gonna go from here.

[Jake] To bed.

-That's reasonable. -[all chuckling]

[slow, suspenseful music playing]

[Mark] As much as this car feels like an homage to Ferraris of the past,

it's now time to make it undeniable

that this car was built at Gotham Garage.

I'm going bright green with this car for two reasons.

For one, nothing screams Gotham Garage more than green.

And two, no Ferrari ever built came standard in this color green.

It's the perfect color to make it stand out

as a one-of-a-kind, Gotham Garage modified Ferrari.

[music fades]

[laughs in surprise]

-What do you think of that? -[chuckling] Wow. Oh my God.

Ever seen a green Ferrari before?

[Nick] It's striking.

If you're looking to make a Gotham Garage statement,

you'll certainly do it with this.

-We gotta get this car put back together. -Yes, you do.

I don't know what you mean by "you," but your hands don't look broken to me.

Oh, look. I don't do manual labor.

[Mark] Nick doesn't know this, but this is a rite of passage around here.

Whenever we have a big build, everyone pitches in.

-[Shawn] Come on, Nick buddy. -[Nick groans] Oh my lord.

[Mark] Plus, Nick has been selling high-end cars for over 20 years.

You're telling me in all those years, he never once turned a wrench?

I highly doubt it.

[Caveman] Whoa-ho-ho!

-Look who's ready to work, boots and all. -[Nick chuckles]

[Jake] Hey, the strippers are here.

[all laughing]

[Mark] Caveman, you've always wanted an assistant.

-[laughing] Oh no. -[Caveman] Yes, I do want an assistant.

[Mark] I don't care if all he does is clean up Caveman's mess,

he better roll up them coveralls and get to work.

-[slow, dramatic music playing] -[tool whirring]

That carbon fiber looks good against that green, don't it?

[Tony] It sure does, yeah.

I think Mark's idea to create a collage of different Ferraris

really came together nicely, but this car is far from done.

I got a pattern for this. I was gonna make an insert.

[dramatic music continues]

We still need to add a bunch of Gotham Garage signature pieces

that I cut on the water jet.

And we're also doing all the fine detail work

that will make this car feel totally handcrafted.

How's the guest list going? Are we doing good on people showing up?

Damn good response.

Oh yeah.

[Tony] At this event we're throwing,

these buyers are gonna put this car under a microscope,

and this is the meticulous work that they're gonna be looking for.

[Mark] You're doing a good job getting filthy.

[Nick] This in the dry-cleaners again.

[Mark laughs] Nick's the only guy in the world that dry-cleans his overalls.

[all chuckle]

[music ends]

-[Caveman] I've been here all night. -[Mark] Almost done.

It's gonna get about ten times more sexy in about the next two hours.

-[Tony] Yeah. -[Mark] Let's get to it, man.

Let's get to work.

[Shawn] Easy. Easy.

Seeing this Ferrari come together,

you really get excited for the potential it shows for the shop.

[industrious rock music playing]

This car shows off everything Gotham has to offer to Nick's clientele.

[clicking]

But that all remains to be seen until we get it in front of these buyers

and see what they all think.

[music fades]

[wind whistling]

-[dramatic rock music building] -[eagle screeches]

[engine revving]

[Mark] This Ferrari is the most high-profile car

to ever come through this shop.

We started with a 360 Spider

and then introduced this car to all of the legends that came before it.

This collage flows together effortlessly.

But it's also got that bold stamp that you would expect from this garage.

If there was ever gonna be a car that would catapult us

directly into the center of all Nick's high-end clients,

it's this fully modified Ferrari.

[music fading]

[suspenseful music playing]

[indistinct conversations]

-[man 1] Great turnout. -Yeah.

-[man 2] The goal is to sell this tonight? -[Mark] Yes.

[Shawn] It's not the normal width of a Ferrari.

[man 3] No, it's not.

Great pleasure, Jasmin.

The whole point of this event is to show my clients

what Gotham Garage is all about.

-We appreciate being invited. Thanks. -Of course. Absolutely.

I've had trouble convincing this crowd that Gotham Garage is the go-to shop

for these high-end customs.

And I'm hoping this Ferrari proves that.

-Thanks for coming out. Great to see you. -Thanks.

-Nice to meet you. -Looking forward to seeing it.

Okay, I'll be talking to you later.

[Nick] This car could be a calling card for everything this shop does

from here on out.

So, this is truly a make-or-break evening for the garage.

Looking forward to seeing what's under here.

[Shawn] It's not your everyday Ferrari.

[indistinct conversations]

[Shawn] Hey, everybody, gather round.

Mark's gonna say a few things about the car.

[Mark] I wanna thank everybody for coming out.

I've been building cars since I was 16 years old.

Been doing it professionally for 22 years now with Gotham Garage.

We got three new people this year, and the crew has really come together

and brought us into this new realm.

What we wanna do is show everybody who we are.

We put our thumbprint on a Ferrari, and we're hoping that you all love it.

This is how Gotham Garage decks out a Ferrari.

So, without further ado...

[people laughing]

...peel it off.

You guys ready?

[people cheering]

[suspenseful music playing]

[Mark] So I invite you all to take a closer look.

[dramatic electronic music playing]

[Mark laughing] Yeah, right.

-[man 1] That's a good-looking car. -[man 2] Yeah.

-[man 1] That is beautiful. -[Mark] Thanks.

I've never seen a Ferrari like this. You know, I'm used to Ferrari red.

I do like the green color. I'll be honest with you.

I think it really caters to the whole Gotham Garage.

Looks like a Jokermobile with that rose gold rims.

I think it makes a big statement.

-[Mark] You like that? -[woman] The rose gold is the best.

[Mark] Nobody has a green Ferrari,

and nobody has a green Ferrari with spiderwebs on it.

Green's my favorite color, so you're...

-Color of money, right? -Yeah!

Green and gold, the color of money.

[man 3] The Ferrari is absolutely gorgeous.

It's just some place that Ferraris have not gone before.

I mean, it's a striking car, it's a charming car, and it's for sale.

-I'm gonna have to talk to the wife. -Yeah, okay.

It's beautiful. I mean, I think she would like it. It stands out.

That's the part I like.

People who like to step out of the box and get attention,

they'll really love this car.

It's different from anything I've seen, and it's different for a Ferrari for sure.

Yeah, we kind of do things out of the box, you know.

It's definitely piqued my interest.

Let me crunch some numbers, and I'll follow up with you.

Well, let me talk to the wife and check out my finances.

-Let me know. -I will.

-Appreciate it. Good seeing you. -Sweet, man. Always a pleasure, my friend.

[Shawn] So what do you think? Would you be willing to make us an offer tonight?

Yeah, it's very unique, but I'm gonna have to think about it for a while.

-Yeah? -Yeah, I think so.

-Alright. -But thank you very much.

Thanks, Mark. I appreciate you coming out.

[tense music playing]

[Mark] It's clear that everyone really digs

all the modifications that we did on the car, and they appreciate the work,

but I think our expectations were a little bit bigger.

We were expecting one of Nick's clients to pull the trigger on this.

[Shawn] Anybody interested?

-No. -Okay.

[Mark] The whole point of tonight

was to create a buzz, a feeding frenzy, if you will,

about this car to get everybody energized, get the momentum going,

and if we can't garner interest tonight and get it sold,

we're gonna lose all of this momentum.

Trying to get $200,000 for this car down the road, that's gonna be hard.

-[Shawn] You heard anything from Andy? -[Nick] I have not.

[Shawn sighs]

[Nick] He's been radio silent the last few hours.

[Shawn] Hey, let us know if you hear anything.

[Nick] Look, I'm just as surprised as everyone

that we're not getting any firm offers on the car.

Plus, my big Ferrari client Andy, he's still a no-show.

I was really hoping he'd make it because I think he'd be into this car.

He's an incredibly high-profile client,

and he definitely has the means to buy it on the spot if he liked it.

[man] See ya, man.

[Tony] Yeah, thank you for supporting us. Appreciate that.

[indistinct conversations and laughter]

[Caveman] Bye. It was nice knowing y'all.

[Nick] Carl, Savanna, thanks for coming.

[indistinct conversations]

[car approaching]

-[Nick] Hey. Look at this. -[Mark] There he is.

-[Shawn] Hang on one sec. Is that him? -[Nick] Told ya. Better late than never.

-Andy. How are you? Good to see you. -Good to see you, Nick.

-Thank you. -[Nick] Thank you for coming.

-Mark, Shawn, and Jake from the team. -Mark, good to meet you.

-Andy. -Nice to meet you.

-This is the car. -So, what do you think?

-Um... -[Nick chuckles]

[suspenseful music playing]

Tell me about your car.

So, basically, we've taken this 360 Spider and modified it quite a bit.

The concept was to take elements off of Ferraris from the past

and incorporate 'em into this car.

We actually stretched the fenders out. So this is all carbon fiber.

-Where does the carbon start? -The carbon starts up here.

-So, that's original aluminum. -[Andy] Detailing there on the vents.

Yeah, Tony made all the water-jetted copper that you see.

We dented the hood in to give it a little more sexiness.

-Yeah, like that old Cobra coupe. -Yeah.

So, we put the carbon fiber splitter on the front,

put the carbon fiber canards on it...

[Andy] Mm-hmm.

...and then we're running big 20-inch wheels, right?

-So they're rose gold. -[Andy] Gotcha.

From the onset, Andy's been my first choice as to who to sell this car to.

First thing I notice is right here, where these two meet.

[Mark] Nobody knows that belt line right there exists.

[Nick] He's an incredibly high-profile client,

and getting our Ferrari into his collection would be massive.

[engine revving]

But he knows these cars inside and out, and he's gonna be incredibly particular.

[Mark] The thing about Ferraris, everybody's scared to touch 'em.

Yep.

That's not Gotham Garage.

We're not scared to touch nothing,

and what better way to show the world

who we are and what kind of shop we are than to cut into a Ferrari?

It's a pretty bold move. Uh, most people wouldn't do it.

It's just an inherent risk.

Are you making it better or you making it worse?

And that... that's one of the reasons that brought me out here,

because you guys had the balls to do this, and you had the wherewithal

to make a car out of it that works.

One thing I do like about the car quite a bit is the color is genius.

-Job one. I got one right. -There ya go.

The details are great. I like everything you've done styling-wise with the car.

With that in mind,

what are you... what are you asking for the car?

220,000 is the price.

[smacks lips]

Well, uh,

I can't... I can't go that high.

I think I'm more around the range of about $160,000.

-160,000? -Yes, sir.

Wow. Okay.

[tense music playing]

Now, I mean what you're paying for

is the customization that Gotham Garage delivered here.

Plus you're investing in our shop.

I mean, this is a Gotham Garage, this is our first Ferrari,

you know, but it's not gonna be the last, obviously.

Yeah, I get it. I know I'm investing in your company,

and investing in the shop itself with buying this car,

uh, but there's risk on both sides.

It could be very popular.

It could be less popular. So I'm taking a risk.

You guys are taking a risk on both sides of this.

With that in mind, I could give you 174.

[sighs]

You know, with all the effort we put in this car,

it would stand out even in your collection, am I right?

Yeah, it definitely would. It definitely would.

Uh...

We can come down for you a little bit.

We'll go down to 200 grand for you.

That's the lowest we can go.

[suspenseful guitar music playing]

[Andy] I totally respect. I respect the work.

I like what's been done, but from a sheer business standpoint,

I can't go more than 180. I'm sorry.

Hmm.

Look, I know Mark wanted 200 for this car,

but if anybody knows the value of this car, it's Andy.

According to Nick, he is the guy when it comes to these cars.

Plus, we'd still stand to make a profit of about 70 grand.

Not to mention what it'd mean to have Andy owning this car.

What's giving me pause right now

is Mark's history of being stubborn on prices.

Once he gets that price stuck in his head,

it's almost impossible to get him off it.

[music fades]

You know what? I think that, uh,

nobody else is gonna cut into a Ferrari.

Only Gotham Garage is gonna cut up a Ferrari

and try to make a better car out of it,

and I understand where you're at and your comfort zone.

But I think that, uh, 20 grand,

to me, is worth the price of admission to get into this world.

And I think we should take the money. What do you think?

-Know what I think? -[Mark] It puts our foot in the door.

I think, uh, Andy might be getting these keys back.

-[Mark] Well, we have a deal, my friend. -[Andy] We have a deal.

-Looks like we got a deal for $180,000. -We have a deal.

Thank you, Nick, for bringing Andy to the party, man. I really appreciate it.

-Always a pleasure. -Absolutely.

[Mark] I know in the past I've been kind of unwavering on these big-money cars,

but I think this is a different situation.

Andy is a totally different class of buyer,

and I think the upside of him owning this car is worth it.

[Shawn] Totally agree.

This is different than the concept vehicles

and even different than the Zephyr.

To have a well-known Ferrari collector purchasing a Ferrari from us?

That's a different stamp of approval.

Hey, everybody, we just sold a Ferrari!

-[Mark] Thank you very much. Thanks again. -Andy just bought our Ferrari.

[Mark] Thanks for bringing us into your world.

It's a fantastic piece.

It's unlike anything I've ever seen,

and in the cars I've got in the collection,

it's gonna stand out.

-I feel really great about it. -Congratulations.

[Mark] That's a Ferrari, bro.

Even though Gotham Garage is the new kid on the block

in this space of exotic cars and supercars,

looking at the quality of the work that was done to this car,

not gonna be the new kid for long.

Here's to moving on and moving up.

Here's to a new era of Gotham Garage.

All right.

Look, now that this car is sold,

we definitely need to figure out what's next for the garage.

But, for now, everyone gets a big payday,

and this is a huge weight lifted off our shoulders.

-[all cheering] -[Tony] Let's drink to that.

[Shawn] Yeah.

[salesman] From the 430 of the 458, new body, you know, new motor.

Dual-clutch gearbox...

[Shawn] Wow, this is a really nice dealership.

There's so many nice cars here.

-I need this stuff in my garage. -Yeah.

Obviously, the Ferrari party went really well.

So, Nick is already on the hunt for our next big deal.

[Nick] Shawn, Mark... meet Eric.

-How you doing, Eric? -How are you?

I'll leave you to it. Let me know if I can help.

His clients responded very well to the car.

And more than a few of them are now interested in

getting some high-end work done from our shop.

So, we did really well with the party.

I think we gotta build on that momentum, which is why I brought you down for this.

2005. Ferrari 612 Scaglietti.

A front-engine V12, 540 horsepower.

-[Shawn] Are there seats? -[Mark] I was checking.

[Nick] It's got seats. It's got a trunk lid.

-[Mark] I like it. -And a rear bumper. Nice.

You got my interest piqued. I guess it really comes down to what's the deal.

The deal on this car is that it comes with that.

-[Mark] It comes with the other Ferrari? -It comes with that. Uh-huh.

-We're gonna buy two Ferraris? -Yep.

This is a Ferrari 458.

So, it's the newer version of the 360 that we did.

So the two cars, the asking price is about 350.

-[Mark] That's a lot of money. -Yeah.

He'll do us a deal and I think it'll come in about 290, maybe 300.

-Wow. -That's a dent.

Look, I can understand why Mark and Shawn would have immediate sticker shock.

But word got around about the Ferrari,

and my phone has been blowing up since the party.

The last Ferrari was only 75 grand.

And that was a killer deal.

But we don't have the luxury to wait six months or a year

for the next car to come along, and we should build on the momentum.

We're finally at a place where the Gotham Garage name

carries some weight within this high-end car community.

Ferraris, Lamborghinis, Jaguars, you name it.

I told them this is where I could take the garage.

And now they can't pull the trigger?

Once you build a car like that Ferrari, with this kind of clientele,

you gotta strike while the iron's hot.

[Mark] Two seems pretty aggressive.

What's the possibility of splitting the deal

and just buying the blue car to start with?

The deal comes as the two cars.

For us to get that kind of discount, it would be on both.

We go sideways on any one of these cars,

and it's not something you work your way out of.

This is something you go broke on.

[Nick] But that's the game you wanted to play.

That's the playing field you wanted to play in.

That's a lot of money. I mean, we're gonna have to dip into our savings

on top of the money we made with the Ferrari.

Absolutely. I mean, I'm putting my share in.

I mean, I'm used to jumping in dumpsters to get deals going down the road,

and now he wants $300,000.

We've had deals one-tenth of the amount of this go sideways

and create major setbacks for the garage.

This is a big risk.

I think the risk is mitigated by the last car.

Seeing that no one else is doing this kind of thing

and stepping up again.

If you don't dare, you don't win.

[dramatic music playing]

So now it really boils down to do you really wanna do this?

Do I really wanna put all of our eggs in one basket?

So what do you want to do? We in?

[chuckles] Or are we out?

Are we going all-in?

Or are we out?

[tense music playing]
