It is a GTO ragtop. Sweet ride!!! Always did love the Goat, but not so much the new abomination (Aussie built Holden Monaro with Pontiac logos).
BTW- the show airs on Tusday 11/30.

I can't imagine watching this for hours on end, let alone having any of these procedures done.

I hope they don't ruin the GTO. A true classic. You can only MOD it so far before you take away from its own beauty. (ironically I hate cars and don't drive, the reason, I love muscle cars, I would be broke and kill myself if I ever drove a car)

You're right in a way though, a vintage GTO is a wondrous thing.

True. They guy has an unbelievable talent of making truly beautiful cars not just pimping them. He makes millions and till acts like a regular Joe, or at least looks like it on TV

You can read a little more about the transformation here....
https://www.usoc.org/11796_27251.htm
It wasn't exactly a classic GTO: 1970 Powderblue. However, the final product sounds like it's pure Foose... Basically a "Year One" make-over with all new running gear, new interior, custom wheels, yada, yada, yada....
I've caught two or three of the shows by accident late at night (Chevelle, BelAir Roadster, Ford Coupe). If you ignore the stupid hosts and follow the build the Overhaulin series isn't all that bad. These are some of the best in biz who show you what is possible when you have unlimited funds...
Hopefully they'll do a better job of making it cool without going overboard and turning it into a streetrod version of the POS OCC chopper. However, since TLC is just another part of the Discovery Channel it's doubtful that this will be anything but another part of the Discovery deal with Armstrong.
Parting shot: What kind of an idiot would spend $15k on a POS '70 GTO in the first place?
A. A reality TV show producer
B. A pop singer who likes to piss away money
C. Any other spendthrift who doesn't know squat about cars

Oh, man
This crap makes me sick. All that talk, 10 minutes out of the whole show is the build, the rest is father son relationship that Freud would gladly take interest in if he was alive.

Looks like something John Belushi would have ridden while doing the bees shtick on SNL

By the way, I saw the commercial for the episode today on TLC. It’s going to be shown on November 30th here in NY, for those who’s interested.
