Ford Fairlane Thunderbolt
small text
large text
When it comes to cars, Barry’s mind is never far away from the drag strip. He's now set his staff to finding a '64 Fairlane to become nothing less than a Thunderbolt.

What plans: a 427 V-8 engine, fibreglass hood, over-sized rears and racing seats...And it will be street-legal. Everyone's excited, including his regular parts suppliers. Two guys from O'Reilly's turn up to pitch in for the build. It's a laugh a minute as they verbally wrestle Barry about who knows best.

And there's more; rather than risk an open auction as usual, Barry's going to start his own... at the Speed Shop! Barry, Becky and Chris hope to round up some high-rollers to duke it out in the bidding. Barry's DIY auction is a first. But if he can convert his building skills into entrepreneurship he stands a chance. And there's no commission!

Becky and Jen become event managers, a first for both. Will they have to block off the street? Who’s doing the catering? What about parking? Permits? Auctioneer? The event snowballs into an logistics nightmare.

And there's another wildcard; paint and body guy Tony starts thinking he might just bid for the Thunderbolt himself! Barry has no idea. This could be their most eventful auction yet.
