Américars

- Season 5

(2013)

Dale Earnhardt Jr asks Richard and Aaron to build him a 1956 Chevy Nomad and gives them a 10 day schedule. The GMG crew find a way to cool off in the Texas heat, but when Richard returns he quickly gets them back to work. Richard does a quick flip on a pumpkin colored Pantera.

Richard receives a call from a lady who wants to sell her late husband's car collection, a Ford '32 Cabriolet and various other hot rod projects. They rescue an badly neglected '62 Corvette from a garage on the verge of falling down. Richard calls the Monkeys together for a big announcement. Is it the end of the GMG, or another expansion?

When K.C. breaks down in his beloved '55 Ford Customline, he calls Richard for a tow. Richard buys the car and flips it after an "all out" restore. George Foreman drives off in Richard's prize Mustang. Richard and Dennis do a deal with a WW2 veteran for a '38 Aston Martin and some Nashes.

Richard gets his hands dirty building a $100K 2013 COPO Camaro from the wheels up on the VIP assembly line. Aaron ignores his request to work on a newly arrived 1930 Model A. Instead, Aaron builds his own dream vehicle while the Monkeys tackle the A.

Richard buys a nest of cars including a '68 Cadillac Coupe de Ville that is so rusted out that Aaron and the guys want to mutiny, but not until they have a little fun with it first. Can Richard and Dennis save a piece of racing history from the crusher?

Rust-ridden Caddy dumped, Richard gambles that the GMG crew can recoup his losses with a '60 Bel Air. Christie talks money -- first with a dad who wants to punk his teenage son with a Yugo and then with Richard trying to convince him to hire his sister.

GMG takes wing! Aaron builds a flying machine for the Red Bull Flugtag event and the team launches him off a 30ft pier. But will the Gas Monkey Flying Circus take off or take a nose dive? Meanwhile, the crew brings a rare 1950 Dodge Wayfarer back to life.

The crew turns an ugly duckling 71 Chevy Kingwood station wagon into the cool, 70s hot rod dragster it was meant to be. Richard pries an 80 MG Replicar from a husband reluctant to part with it. The Grill books its 1st celebrity musical act.

The crew takes on a '68 Shelby Mustang that looks sweet but what's it hiding? Richard flips his lid when Tom and Jordan buy two junker cars from two tourists. Richard and KC travel to a secret lair to make a deal on a Lotus Cortina and an amphibicar.

Engine issues plague the '68 Shelby. Richard flips the rare '66 Lotus Cortina and floating Amphicar for some fast cash. A classic Ford Falcon arrives at the garage -- and selling it would be icing on the cake.

Richard is hired by a wheeler-dealer friend to build a "Smokey & The Bandit" '77 Trans Am. He and Aaron have six days to build and get the car to New Orleans in time for the buyer to race in a rally. Some original Bandit stars help sweeten the deal.

Richard and Aaron reach Burt Reynolds and win their wager, but that success may mean ultimate failure when the team doesn't get the '77 Trans Am on a transporter in time. Solution: they'll race it down to the New Orleans starting line themselves.

When Richard "accidentally" buys $92K worth of cars at an auction, his bookkeeper sister insists he flip all five cars in one week. Some go more easily and profitably than others but it's a weirdly built Rolls Royce that even Aaron has a hard time fixing.

Aaron falls in love with and buys a famous '63 Ford Falcon race car off Richard. But will the original owner be impressed by Aaron's Gas Monkey style? While Aaron's tied up in his passion project, Richard flips a 1919 Nash and an unusually painted truck.

Aaron chances the wrath of the Big Monkey when he overrides Richard's instructions on a Mustang Fastback. After picking up a "Holy Grail" Boss 429 Mustang in Minnesota, Richard questions Dennis's decision to buy a rustbucket Jaguar E-type buried in snow.

Aaron and the Gas Monkey crew overhaul a Jeep in 24 hours to surprise a friend. Richard flips a funky gull-winged Bricklin. Daphne convinces a reluctant Richard to hire his nephew. Dennis and Richard argue over how best to sell their COPO Camaros.

It's a Gas Monkey Fire Sale when Richard quick flips a menagerie of cars to make enough cash to buy back the first car he and Aaron built together 10 years ago. Richard and Dennis literally roll the dice on a 57 Chevy back in snowy Minnesota.

Richard makes a risky deal to restore the first two Firebirds ever made from rusted and rough to museum quality. The buyer offers a handsome deal, but it comes with a crushing deadline and a 10K/day penalty for every day he's late. Aaron learns to race.

With a 10K-a-day penalty looming, Richard can't afford to lose any more time on the two Firebirds' concourse restoration, but by the end of the project, the garage will be short two Monkeys. Richard flips a '49 Mercury that comes complete with passenger.

Aaron's not impressed by the '72 Ford Pantera Richard picks up, but he and the Monkeys have fun bringing a Ford F100 truck back to life. Then, they head to Tennessee to try to buy back two pieces of Gas Monkey history: a ratrod and a panhead motorcycle.
