Chase Classic Motors is now in session and we’re welcoming a new presiding justice: the 1969 Pontiac GTO Judge! With its iconic look, muscular flanks, brutal performance, and high-class interior options, the Judge was a flashy jurist who pronounced sentence on the street during the zenith of the muscle car wars. Unfortunately, our customer is holding the previous workshop in contempt after discovering damage to the start motor pinion and ring gear. That means Eric will be pulling and rebuilding the Muncie 4-speed transmission along with showing us how to replace the ring gear, clutch, and starter motor. Until finally, after a long and lengthy appeal, perhaps this Judge will knock our socks off with its streetwise ruling and surprise us with its fascinating story. So, let’s all rise for the Judge and bring this court to order as we drive a true member of muscle car royalty around the streets of Detroit!

Chase Classic Motors is weighing anchor and diving deep into America's most popular sports car with a nautical name: the Chevrolet Corvette! With nearly 75 years of history as the USA's first purpose-built sports car, the Corvette has lasted through 8-generations as an automobile designed strictly for fun and to be the most aspirational and cherished of GM's performance cars. Yet despite its fascinating heritage, the 3rd-generation Corvette (the C3) remains the black sheep of this legendary family. When it debuted in 1968, the C3 "Shark" had several industry-firsts for an American car. It cut an unmistakably sleek and aquatic profile, boasted incredible V8 power, and featured a long list of accolades and track-bred skills to match. The C3 is also the best-selling Corvette of any generation before or since and it was immortalized in popular culture as America's dream machine. Yet today, the Corvette C3 is lost in a sea of more coveted classics... the question is WHY? To find out what went wrong, the boys will dive into their customer's triple black 1980 'Vette to uncover why it is acting so slow and sluggish. As they work their way through the engine trouble, they will also look at the history of the Corvette from 1953 - 1982; and look into the car's lineage and evolution of design. Perhaps only then will they be able to uncover the truth behind this intrepid little warship that triumphed in the moment; but would ultimately sink under the weight of its own success!

It's time for answers... it's time for fun... it's time for IMPERIAL! The 1981 Imperial by Chrysler was supposed to summon the return of a premium American luxury brand. Instead, it humiliated the company! Now Chase Classic Motors brings you the hard facts and sets to find out why this famous flop happened. How did a car this expensive, this technologically advanced, and this good looking manage to embarrass not only its celebrity CEO Lee Iacocca, but also the Chairman of the Board himself, one Mr. Frank Sinatra? Truth is stranger than fiction when the boys uncover an original 1981 Imperial for just $500! Now they have a chance to learn all about the car that doomed Chrysler's company fortunes and why it courts controversy among Mopar fans to this very day. Chrysler famously balked at their own EFI system and replaced it with carburetors following complaints from owners. Now Ross and Eric are on a mission to revive the jet-set spirit of the 80s Imperial and bring this abandoned luxury car back to life. They will show you all the research that went into learning how the notorious "constant-flow" fuel-injection system actually works. Then we'll see if they can make the V8 SING just like "Ol' Blue Eyes" himself. It's time for this Imperial to run again!

Chase Classic Motors is in hot pursuit with Michigan's last surviving big-block Mopar police car! Last season, Ross and Eric went on a cross-country trip to bring Michigan's last surviving 1977 Plymouth Fury Pursuit home to the Motor City where it was born. Now they are hitting the streets to find out exactly what they bought and how much work it will take to whip this old soldier back into shape. It's time for a good, old-fashioned SHAKEDOWN! Along the way, they'll discover (once again) that old cars have a habit of showing their age in the most unpredictable ways. Now it's a race against time to get this tired Trooper car ready for a grand weekend at Greenfield Village; once the personal playground of automotive titan Henry Ford. So join the boys for another fun ride-a-long in a vintage police car as they demonstrate that even a bad case of GAS can't keep a good Trooper down!

Chase Classic Motors is ready for fun and games as Ross and Eric pay tribute to the best-selling sports car of their teenage years: the 3rd generation Ford Mustang. Even better, this one is Ford's celebration model: the ultra-cool and super-rare 1993 SVT Cobra! At a time when malaise cars had stifled the automotive world, these fantastic Fox-body Mustangs were quick, stylish, fun to drive, and their 5-liter power-plants were infinitely customizable. No wonder they were the preferred choice of gearheads across America in the 1980s and 1990s! Yet this snake-bitten stallion has a surprise connection with Audi and some shocking European influence. You'll also see why the Mustang was known as the little car that chased Porsche's for a living and how it was so successful as a police car when equipped with Ford's "Special Service Package". So, ditch your BMX bike, grab a glass of Sunny-D, buckle up, and get ready for the ultimate game of 'Cops and Robbers' as the boys hit the street in the Mustang that even Al Bundy wanted in Season 3, Episode 5: FANTASTIC FOX!

WOW-WEE-WOW!! In this episode, Chase Classic Motors will be toasting the good life and looking at the era of '80s luxury; a time when chrome accents and bustle-back tails where the hallmark of personal luxury cars. With over 40 years in the American luxury market, few cars fit the role better than the 1984 Lincoln Continental. As Ford's high-end brand, Lincoln had cemented a legacy for attractive, powerful, and sumptuous sedans and coupes that were both aesthetically pleasing and aspirational. So how did it come to pass that Lincoln's signature dish became a pint-size player based on the Mustang? Ross and Eric will get to work on this all original, one-owner car to see if this Lincoln's champagne tastes turned out to be lemonade! So, break out the hors d'oeuvres, pop the cork on that bottle of bubbly, and present the aperitifs as we look into how the better-half lives; at least for a little while... with a little dose of luxury in Episode 4: "Continental Divide".

It's all about the ACTION CARS in this episode of Chase Classic Motors! This time, Ross and Eric are going back and visiting the Detroit muscle cars wars of the 1960s; a time when MOPAR was all in on amateur and professional drag racing. To get there, they will be powering along in Mopar's first true performance package car: the 1967 Dodge Coronet R/T. You'll see how Dodge transformed their humble family grocery getter into a beefed up, streetwise, muscle car for the street by dropping in 440 cubes of RB Power! The boys will also look at the marketing campaign that put Pamela Austin (aka the "Dodge Girl") into calamitous situations and had cartoon cowboys riding to rescue new car buyers from high prices! So come along as we join the 'DODGE REBELLION of 67' and discover how Mopar's legacy for high performance was forged block by block on the streets of Detroit as well as on the racetrack!

Last Season, Eric and Ross travelled all the way to Atlantic City, NJ to rescue a 1975 Plymouth Gran Fury from its long 20-year hibernation. Now Chase Classic Motors is calling this mammoth Mopar before a jury of its peers to find out why it was such a popular government vehicle, but failed to succeed with 70s car buyers. Along the way, the boys will test the V8 engine, tackle the rancid fuel system, and go on a "shocking" test drive that leaves Ross with a bit more than wounded pride. With the car being so uncooperative, the boys will need to ask the right questions if this stoic sedan is going to offer any meaningful testimony in its own defense. What will the verdict ultimately be?

Chase Classic Motors is back in action with a new season of automotive adventures! This time we’re paying tribute to the greatest police car Ford ever produced: the 1979-2011 Ford Crown Victoria Police Package. These full-frame, full-size, Panther-body cars were the backbone of American police fleets all the way from the 1980s to the 2010s. And like their arch- rivals from GM and Chrysler, these forsaken Fords were immortalized on screen as police cars in some of our favorite TV shows and movies! Now we’re proud to bring you the story of our 1991 Ford LTD Crown Victoria that we nicknamed “Reno”. We rescued this retired California Sheriffs car after it was abandoned in a park and left to be sold off and crushed by Pick-A-Part yards in Reno, Nevada. We intended to use this battered, old cop car as an inexpensive shop vehicle. Instead, buying this car taught us all about the world of the brokered insurance auction, the zaniest of auto transport companies, and the madcap adventures we found in the movie car rental business. Now we're sharing all of our lessons learned in pursuit of more automotive fun as "Reno" goes from being a junkyard reject to a car show treasure! So let's buckle up, hit the lights, and blast the siren as Detroit shop owners Ross and Eric take you on a trip through Ford country to discover the history of the uncrowned king of the police cars!
