I'm surprised he offered him 11k. Way too much. Really it's so ugly he should pay someone to take it. Take off whatever real scout car parts there might be and crush the rest as soon as possible. I'd like to forget I saw it.

Some things that happen in Vegas really need to stay in Vegas. One would be the fake-O scout car, the other is Chumlee.

The technical name for the modification is called a Resto-Mod. It is a business all in itself.
For instance, a stripped down body for a HMWWV might cost $10,000 without axles, or any kind of frame. The buyer would probably resto-mod it. It's not for everybody, especially the purist. I'm for all original myself, but even on my Ford Model A, I would opt to moderize the brakes from mechanical to hydraulic. There are limits.

Yep, I just walked into the living room a few minutes ago and caught the tail end, they had just offered him $11K and he balked.
I didn't see enough of it to realize it was a hack job.

We were laughing about this at work today. Took about 1 second to pick it apart. For someone it would be cool but it is just like a cj2a with a star on it.

LOL
Just saw this last night. You know the owner might not have actually paid $25000.00 fo it and he was using that # to try and pump up the pawnshop guys. If so, it appeared to have no effect. If he really paid that, he should have "called in an expert" first

The Pawn shop guys make a lot of people mad because they reveal their stuff is fake, and Chumlee is very smart...his "character" on the show is stupid. If you watch that show enough you will see that Rick and the Old Man want to make money and they wouldn't keep Chum as an employee if he didn't know how to make money.
Actually, electronics and shoes are Chum's specialty.

Interesting opinion on Chum there Preacherboy, but I would have to disagree. I have probably seen every episode and I think Chum is dumb as a box of rocks. Currently as the show is running, he is making the shop money though, because his dumbness is good for ratings. When the show isn't running anymore, he will probably still be there because he is a longtime family friend. I bet they dont pay him a heck of alot to take up space in the shop. I might want to add that I dont personally dislike Chum, he is funny and seems to be a good guy. I just think I have a smarter anvil in my shop.

You are welcome to disagree dozer! I have probably seen every episode too and he actually knows things about shoes and electronics and probably lots of other things; but everyone knows "reality" TV is still all scripted and Chum is playing a character.
Like I said, in my opinion if Chumlee wasn't making the shop money he wouldn't be working there unless it was simply minimum wage cleaning up stuff; obviously he does more than that and makes more than that. I highly doubt they would just give him stuff, he is much smarter than the show portrays him.

Remember Pawn Stars is a show. So they are playing to the masses. And Chumlee's "character" is good for ratings. I don't think Chum is as foolish as they make him out to be. Every once in a while he makes a comment or says something that denotes he actually has intelligence. He plays his part very well on the show.

Doesn't seem so. I just pulled up the show on the web and watched it. How in the world that guy thought that it was "all original" I have no idea.
