That takes some guts taking fast corners in a field! If that thing rolls over you've got a broken neck.. Plus in grassy fields you can't see any divots that could throw the car.
This was one of the Best Pickers I saw! Straight Price and no hagaling on either side....Had to be a good price..I am sure if Frank was buying he would have started at 14.5K. I would love to see the follow up show on value...Does it exist? I have looked.
28k for a go-cart is insane but everyone acts like this is the best deal ever for both parties. I seriously doubt thats the case though. I just cant see 10k+ in all the other things asides from the engine. No way anyones paying 30k+ just so they can break even.
@@aaron71 eh, I'd be good with a brand new repro knuckle with better everything for 8.5g. Give the guy 5g for the roller. Buy weed 'n beer with the leftover dough.
Catch new episodes of American Pickers when the series returns Mon Oct 21 at 9/8c
That’s my best friends house, dad and grandpa!! It’s cool to see them write a fat check to someone who deserves it!!!! Awesome
When I was kid over sixty years ago I loved midget racers. Remember seeing one on a trailer in a gas station.
I can see in the old mans eyes that a little touch in his heart that its hard to let go on something that has been a part of your life.

That was insane in the field, he was hauling!!!
Wow, what a find. A piece of Americana.
$28K - worth it completely.
He used a car salesman tactic; “take it for a drive, first!”
This man said “what do they call it HGH” 😂
Worth lots more as a 1936 Harley-Davidson Knucklehead motorcycle.
Oh such a nice car... and those lovely hand painted numbers and Logos... fantastic
Mike isn't looking for stuff for the shop here, he's looking for his toys.
he always is. its known that he keeps the best stuff for himself.
@@dfdfkjkj7969 he steals the best stuff
@@opel9170 Steal? I think he paid up for this one.
@@opel9170 oh yeah. 100% lost respect cause of this.
@@opel9170 steal? this madman paid 28 grand for that junk
A cool piece of racing history. Awesome !!
These are the car owners we must protect at all costs! These cars are meant to be driven, proceeds to do just that
I can't believe Mike paid $28,000 before having that race car appraised!

That is just flat out cool!!
One of my favorite picks. That's awesome
That car is absolutely beautiful. What a rocket!
That looked like way too much fun
I have a short interview with Barney Barnes we did with him and that car, at Fremont Speedway for a local access tv show we were doing.
Wow, no negotiation. Surprised me.
That is the most dangerous thing that I have ever seen doing a History Channel host.
Awesome, Mike!
You could tell it hurt dude to let Mike have it beautiful piece of history
I would enjoy that ride
Awesome! Can i be next to take it for a spin? P L E A S E???
Besides being an Awesome piece of kit it's Art!
Super cool.
Always too cool !!!!!!! :) :) Mike you're the key ingredient, and you're lucky to have true friend Frank !.
Think you have it wrong Frank lucky to have Mike bring back Danielle yay
I'm surprised the owner sold it!
And for 28 , i would have to get double that if it were mine ...
I know the owner Roy and his son Harley. Great family. He wants people to appreciate history so that's why he got rid of it...share your wealth
this is my grandfather, we have all been taught that experience is more precious than wealth.
@@SaraRodriguez-xo8ol You Rock Sara!
@@SaraRodriguez-xo8ol you related to dalton then?
What a deal the cost worth way more
I don't wanna roll this thing lol
Just beautiful "!!
Did he ever get this appraised
Wahn Cologne cool thx.
Ha ha
I love these guys
That's an amazing find
That is cool.
RIP Frankie 😢

They won't give you a hole episode because this is bait by the History channel to get you to buy thier DVD collection.
the engine alone is a first year knuckle head - $30k for just the engine -
What ????
This was so funny
This is sick🤘
28k for a go-cart is insane but everyone acts like this is the best deal ever for both parties. I seriously doubt thats the case though. I just cant see 10k+ in all the other things asides from the engine. No way anyones paying 30k+ just so they can break even.
Love that midget.
Who, Frank?!
I had a old Midget years ago. I got rid of it, and regret it everyday.
Car worth 20 and mike pays 28 lol
yup, Just north of $ 15k is what I was thinking
Wow ! i hope it stays in the USA!!!!
David Crosby is looking pretty good.
Count to 3. 1 2 3 lol ok thanks.
Mike wants to steal it
...it's his
Besy show on History Channel!
I have one that needs restoration!
Should look up the Shriners, get history from Shrine club......
My grandfather was a Shriner in Detroit
Great price
Really, you didn't know a knucklehead could go 100? Wasn't that the main selling point of it back then?
Yeah in '36 the top speed was 95mph. This engine is alcohol burning and geared for racing so 100 easy.
Hey yes man, oh my god!
First time I've ever seen these lowballers make a reasonable offer.
Cool
I thought he was offering twenty- eight hundred . That car doesn't justify 28g.
Live Wire. Are you a painter or Female???
@@chumleywarner586 nicely said.
a basket case knuck engine is worth 10k. this is a running race car. i thought they shot low tbh, was thinking closer to 35k.
@@aaron71
eh, I'd be good with a brand new repro knuckle with better everything for 8.5g.
Give the guy 5g for the roller. Buy weed
'n beer with the leftover dough.
No helmet Mike? Not smart.
Turn off the music so can hear the car run!
A.A.O.N.M.S.
You sold it to the wrong people if you wanted it preserved for all to see. These guys will strip it for profit if need be.
My towns smaller than your town
I got a bigger buck n bass on my wall
Aint tryin to talk no smack
Its just facts yall
The car is worth about 5 grand, so the HD Knuckle is worth 23k...????
Barn find knuck engine is 10k. So, maybe, yeah
Win win situations Mike got that car guys got money so ? You point
That wasnt a hard choice to make for the seller look at the way he lives 28k will change their lives lol
spam lite that shop is super nice
Counter-offer 35, deal at 30
i was thinking 2,800 dollars, i think they made up a tv price. its a useless toy that cant race anymore....its a go cart
That car is rad but mike a dork
I think he paid too much o don't see a big demand for midget cars.
Goddamnit Rick! Go back to your pawn shop!
Lmao!..ADHD!
Wear a helmet.
Hope mike didn't burn them and sell it to a loser
