Why Rick Says His GNX Is Better Preserved | Ask Rick

Two ultra-low-mileage Buick GNXs can look very different underneath.

Rick compares the 30-mile GNX #450 in this auction with his own #517. He explains the surface corrosion he sees in the auction photos and why he believes winter conditions during production affected some earlier cars.

When Rick bought his GNX, he inspected three examples—and the condition underneath helped him choose.

Would you crawl under a collector car before paying top dollar?

Only 30 Miles—and This Buick GNX Sold for $427,000! | Ask Rick

From a V12 Lincoln to a turbocharged Buick legend, our Halloween challenge takes a serious turn.

This 1987 GNX had just 30 miles and was already bid to $265,000 when we recorded. The auction later closed at an incredible $427,000!

But our challenge is to buy it, drive it, enjoy it for a year, and then sell for a profit. How much driving would you do when ultra-low mileage is such a big part of the appeal?

Would you drive it—or preserve it?

Why Rick Would Rather Drive a C2 Corvette | Ask Rick

The first-generation Corvette has the looks—but Rick prefers the experience behind the wheel of a C2.

From the independent rear suspension to road manners and driving comfort, Rick explains why the second generation appeals to him more. And when you’re buying a car to enjoy for a year, those differences matter!

His favorite? A C2 coupe with that unmistakable roofline.

Which generation would YOU rather drive: C1 or C2?

A Beautiful ’57 Corvette—But Is It What It Claims to Be? | Ask Rick

This black 1957 Corvette brings iconic styling and a dual-quad 283. But Rick’s experience with another ’57 gives him reason to look closely.

While helping sell his late uncle’s award-winning Corvette, expert inspection revealed that the car wasn’t authentic as represented. It’s a story that explains why Rick wants more than beautiful paint and impressive awards before buying.

Would you choose the Corvette for our yearlong Halloween challenge?

Buy It, Drive It, Sell It for a Profit: Rick’s Halloween Challenge | Ask Rick

No purchase budget. One year to enjoy it. One goal: sell it for a profit! 🎃

Which offers the best combination of driving enjoyment and resale potential?

Make your pick before Rick makes his!

Why Rick Picked a Diesel Chevy Truck Over Two Mustangs | Ask Rick

Two Mustangs entered our Halloween quick-flip challenge—but Rick chose the truck! 🎃

This clean 1988 Chevrolet K2500 diesel 4x4 was listed at $9,800 with just 69,000 miles. Rick sees potential in its condition, room to negotiate, and a buyer pool that extends beyond collectors to people who need a useful work truck.

His plan: buy it right, detail it, check the mechanical condition, and find its next owner.

Would you pick the K2500 over the Mustangs?

Rick Saw the Problem With This Mustang Flip | Ask Rick

You love the car. The current bid looks affordable. But can you buy it at auction and immediately sell it for more?

Rick explains why this ’67 Mustang’s exposure on Bring a Trailer could leave little room for a quick resale profit. Once the bidding finishes, where would he find a buyer willing to pay even more?

The Mustang later sold for $20,000—double our challenge’s purchase limit. 🎃

How much room would YOU need before buying a car to flip?

A ’67 Mustang at $7,600? Watch That Auction Clock! | Ask Rick

A 289 V8, automatic transmission, white interior, and classic Mustang styling—this ’67 coupe certainly gets Rick’s attention.

Bidding was at $7,600 when we recorded, putting it inside our $10,000 Halloween challenge budget. But with hours remaining, would that tempting number hold?

Auction update: it ultimately sold for $20,000!

Would this coupe have caught your eye, too?

Mustang Bullitt: Quick Flip or Keep-and-Drive Project? | Ask Rick

A desirable Mustang doesn’t automatically make an easy flip!

Rick looks beyond the Bullitt badge at worn seat upholstery, failing clear coat, and the work needed to bring this 2001 Mustang back. But he also sees a different opportunity: a running, driving enthusiast car that a parent and kid could improve together while enjoying it.

Would you flip it—or keep it as a family project?

$10,000 to Buy and Flip: Is a Mustang Bullitt the Answer? | Ask Rick

Rick has three weeks to buy a vehicle, clean it up, and sell it to fund our Halloween bash—with a $10,000 purchase limit! 🎃

First up: a 2001 Mustang GT Bullitt with a manual transmission and a $6,500 asking price. There’s enthusiast appeal here, but the paint and interior need attention. Is there enough room left for a profit?

Would you start with the Bullitt?
