About The Car Chasers

Whether it's a rare Shelby Mustang or a vintage hot rod, the key is buy low and sell high, something that doesn't always happen.

On the Next Episode

On a quest for classic cars to add to their inventory, Jeff and Perry explore a treasure-laden "man cave" hidden in an airport hangar. They salivate over a ’65 Shelby Cobra, an authentic World War II era military jeep sporting a 50 caliber machine gun, and a vintage jet fighter ejection seat, but the eccentric hoarder who owns the collection may send them home empty handed. Then, the team searches high and low for a piece of American muscle to impress a big customer who’s bought hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of cars from them in the past, but Jeff’s dad Roundman throws a monkey wrench into the works as he tries to outbid his son for a valuable Boss Mustang on the auction block.
