The Nash Healey Cars That Cost American Pickers Almost $50,000
It became immediately clear to Mike and Frank that the two car salesmen had formed an emotional bond to the vehicles and a steep price would be required to shake it. After identifying two different vehicles he was interested in, Mike asked Robby what his starting price for the vehicle would be. Robby asked for $30,000 each, regardless of individual condition.
After trading offers with the Colliers ranging between $18,000 and $25,000 per vehicle, Mike and Frank side-barred in an effort to come up with a more reasonable offer. In the end, the pickers offered the Colliers a total of $46,000 for the two vehicles. More specifically, the two decided they'd be willing to spend $25,000 for the grey vehicle and $21,000 for the red one. Somewhat reluctantly, Robby and Bobby Collier decided to accept the offer and shook hands with Mike and Frank to seal the deal.
Removing the sun-damaged vehicle from the property, however, took more effort than the two pickers originally had in mind. After Mike and Frank extricated the automobile from the vines that entrapped it, a tow truck arrived just as a storm set in. As the rain poured down on everyone, Mike optimistically remarked that the rain was simply washing off the car.
Collier Motors was also later featured in a 2015 episode of the short-lived History series "Lost in Transmission" (via IMDb).
