Reality series in which old cars are found in Louisiana, restored and auctioned in New Orleans begins with a 1970 Z28 Chevrolet Camaro, that could use major repairs, being discovered deep in the bayou

Charles and Trey happen across a rare 1972 Dodge Demon driving through the streets of New Orleans. After snagging it for $2,500 they have just one week to transform it into the ultimate 1970's street machine. Not only does Charles have to face the pressure of a looming deadline and a rust ridden vehicle, but he is also hired by a car collector to snag him a new beauty for his collection.

After haggling down to a pretty reasonable price, Trey and Charles fight to bring a trashed up collectors dream back to life--a 1968 Chevy El Camino. On top of already being ridden with rust, the team must also find a way to turn a profit on a classic car missing two major components--an engine and a transmission. On top of this, Trey and Charles find themselves butting heads on whether or not they should invest in a super charger, a part that could add $3,000 to their already rising budget. The team has only three weeks to take this hunk of junk and turn it into the street brawler it once was.

Charles and Trey are hired to fix local legend and rock star Pepper Keenan's 1955 Chevrolet. In an effort to build business, they take on the challenge of rebuilding the engine to crank out 400+ horsepower for only $17,000. Meanwhile, both Devin and Benny want to buy the old Mercury Montclair that Charles brought in. It's the country vs. the bayou in a competition of who can rebuild the front suspension the fastest!

Charles and Trey find their new project in a Pontiac Firebird Trans-Am in their pal's junkyard. After further research Charles finds out it's a rare Trans-Am referred to as the "Bandit Edition". Although it's missing a ton of parts, the rarity of the car brings to the table the potential for a lot of cash at auction. However Charles faces more than just finding all the missing parts for the car. He needs to find someone to buy an old Cobra Jet Mustang from the shop or he'll be out $14,000.
