They have reached the decision that they want to expand their product portfolio to include American Muscle automobiles to cater to the ever-increasing demand of muscle cars. And so, they put their plan into action, and the search for the perfect American Muscle car commences.
The duo of Jeff and Meg travel to a large warehouse full of cars in hopes of finding a classic car that will serve as their flagship Muscle car vehicle. The warehouse is full of vintage rides, including old Mustangs, Wild cats, and Camaros. Amidst all the selection, they spot an orange Dodge Challenger that has been transformed into a beast. The Dodge Challenger is in excellent condition, and Jeff and Meg agree that it's an excellent pick. The car comes with custom parts such as its own special fiberglass hood, an eye-catching look that could make it a great addition to their collection.
However, Jeff understands that it is not going to be easy in the current market of muscle-era vehicles, so he puts in a call to a trusted dealer who he had worked with before, and they agreed to bid on cars together. With his partner, Jeff heads out to an auction site in search of his Holy Grail, the 1969 Richard Petty Plymouth Superbird.
At the auction, Jeff faces tough competition as other buyers are bidding on the same car, and emotions run high as the numbers keep going up. Jeff and his partner manage to outbid the others and purchased their dream Plymouth Superbird. After the auction, Jeff states that he initially thought that they may have overpaid for the car, but he believes in his instincts and the quality of the car, which he trusts will pay off in the long run.
The next day, Meg and Jeff are excited to display their new Muscle car collection at the Flat 12 Gallery. They have made numerous modifications to their cars to enhance their worth, and they wanted to present their recently purchased 1969 Richard Petty Plymouth Superbird to their customers. To give customers an authentic muscle car experience, they set up a dyno machine with the Plymouth so that people can see the power of this beautiful machine.
