Texas Car Wars

- Season 1

(2012)

In the Texas car junkyards, the salvage teams bid at auction on a 1964 Thunderbird, a 2002 Nissan XTerra and a 1955 Ford Fairlane. Their aim is to flip each car for the lowest repair outlay and for the greatest profit.

Old Skool Kustoms, Rodriguez Rod and Cycle, Atomic Garage and Barrett Auto Care go head-to-head for Mercedes-Benz, a '52 Packard, and a '66 Mustang they hope to turn into a quick flip. Of course, life wasn't meant to be easy.

Up for auction this week is a '64 Mercury Comet Caliente, a messed up '95 Jeep Wrangler and a '63 Ford F-100 Unibody Pickup. The Rodriguez boys plan to turn the Comet into a hot little dragster. The Jeep gives the Barrett gang a headache and Old Skool make a deal they can't go back on, literally.

Barrett Auto Care flips a '60 Ford F-100 panel truck. A local dough-nut business makes a "money is no object" deal on the restoration, which doesn't quite go to plan. Old Skool Kustoms flips a '93 Lexus that just may turn a tidy profit. Rodriguez Rod and Cycle believe their '64 Chevy Impala may be a curse.

The auctions are underway again. This week the garages do battle for '61 Ford Country Sedan station wagon, a '56 Studebaker President and a '52 Chevy Bel Air.

A 1968 El Camino reignites some brotherly love for Frank while Beep and Holley don't see eye to eye on a 1976 Corvette Sting Ray flip. Across town, Atomic proves to be their own worst enemy when they tackle a late model Honda.

This round of auctions, there is no holding back as the car flippers fight over a '39 Chevy Coupe, a '62 Ford Ranchero, and a '70 Dodge Dart. Rodriguez Rod and Cycle earns their strips. while over at Barrett Auto, their tiniest team member takes over.

A surprise discovery rocks Barret Auto Care and gives their car flip added meaning. Meanwhile, a 1996 Mustang GT is flipped as a tribute to the infamous "Bullitt" fastback.
