I LOVED that show growing up!

That was in the mid 80's, where the hell was Bob????



LOVE it !!!!!!!!

 

Great find! I too loved Price is Right. Never saw this episode. Thanks!

 

That's a big prize for such a simple game

 

Great clip. Nice to see them when they were brand spanking new !!

 

Darn, I wanted to see Floyd get on the car

 

Nice find!!!

Wow, that's a step up from the usual Accord/Corolla/Chevy they usually had!

 

I remember back in 82 or 83 a high ranking military officer (I don't remember which branch) swept up everything including an Alfa Romeo Spider in the Showcase.

That was the only time I ever saw any Italian car

 

BTW, I would have lost, I picked a 9.

 

Funny that the host mentioned the California emissions.

 

I'll take 3 of those $60k 308s and 2 of those pinball machines please.

 

Surprisingly, the pinball machine seams very expensive in relation to the 308.

 

Haha cool. I've worked on shows at CBS Television City where that show is taped. There were some cool cars in the car park including a 250 GTO recreation.

 

Me too.

 

I think that QV is an 84 because my 84 QVs sticker price is $61,000 and the 85 is a bit more and the 83 is less.

 

I like how the host goes over all the "options" on the car in the description --- who would care !?

It would be cool to track down where that 308 is now !

Any one here know anything about where it ended up ?

I wonder if was one of the Magnum PI cars ?

 

The cost without the CA emissions was something like $25k.

 

By law they had to include "California Emissions" in the description of all cars. Funny thing is that one of my great old friends' mother-in-law was a long-time product arranger/buyer for P-I-R.

By the way, am I the only one who was screaming at the screen to tell the model "GET OFF THE CAR" -- that section is so prone to denting and stretching!

 

That reminds me of this:

In 1987, I found a bank of progressive slot machines at the Circus Circus casino in Las Vegas where the jackpot was...a Ferrari 328! I had allotted a modest sum to play the slots and did in fact win some cash, but alas, no Ferrari. 17 years later, I bought an identical car.....

 

Why did Barker miss that episode? I didn't think they would even bother to shoot the show if he couldn't make it.

 

There was a night time edition hosted by Tom Kennedy (host in the video) airing in 1985/86. Car is probably an 85.

 

A pillars are body color and not black, so '83 is right out.

 

There was an evening version way back in the 70's too . Half hour. I can see the host in my mind but I cannot remember his name.

 

It's kinda sad to be reminded of the time back when 60 grand was a lot of money for a car --- or even just a lot of money period .
