That's a lot of cash to save an old 383 block. Also mentioned was that the transmission was not original. Worman kept saying the original block would increase the value $50 grand, which I find hard to believe, especially since the transmission wasn't original.
When people over state the actual market value they are either stupid or greedy work
Me thinks they are greedy tsk down rant


Since this is a TV show, add pandering to that. TV shows over inflate and exaggerate reality to make a better story and grab viewers attention.

In this case I'd call them all three: Stupid, Greedy, and Pandering.
