This episode is packed with two rare cars and one incredible road trip story. Andy Van, known as "the race car man" in Birmingham, Alabama, kicks off the episode with a story about a 13,000-mile race across two continents in 45 days—in an old 1950 Ford two-door sedan. Andy also owns two exceptionally rare cars that immediately caught Tom's attention: a 1-of-3 Holman-Moody Ford Falcon, known as Challenger 1, which Tom never thought he’d see in his lifetime, and possibly one of the most untouched Shelby GT350 Hertz cars. Tune in to hear all the details!
