eBay Find:Paul Sr's Camaro

[thebighar]

Paul sr is a giant ass, show was good when it was about bikes, then it turned into drama reality like every other show now. Sorry the car looks absolutely crappy, maybe he should build bikes......

Here's the bikes that were built to match the Trans Am Depot cars from OCC.

For $125k, Ebay probably pulled the plug thinking it was a joke. That car looks like crap to me.

But I still watch American Chopper. I like seeing Paul Jr's bike builds. And LOL to all the perfect people with perfect families.

Pass, way to much and for that price you could almost purchase two ZL1s that is if the dealers dont mark them up.

...as for my .02 cents. Any man can be a father; it takes a lot more than Paul Sr demonstrates to be called "Dad". With an ego bigger than Lisa Lamponelli's ******, he puts the "fun" in dysfunctional as a father. As for the money for the car?? Why??

........... isn't this the guy who exhibits NOTHING in terms of being a good father? I've only watched a portion of a couple of shows and turned the channel because he exhibited the personality of a rabid racoon......

No thanks.

Our society is being ruined by 'Reality TV" where bad behavior is rewarded.......

True...our society is being ruined by pretty much ALL tv...not just the reality shows.

However, the interesting phenomenon in this case is that the public is "speaking." Both he and his son built a bike for Cadillac and then the public got to vote for their favorite. JR got 100 times the votes than SR which indicates (since both bikes were really cool) that people are not supportive of SR's behavior toward his kids. Through that aspect of reality TV...it's like people were able to voice their opinion on the right way to act, and I thought that was pretty cool.

1. I tend to disagree somewhat, I don't think reality TV necessarily created the continuing downward spiraling of society and values, more just documenting it. Just like all in the entertainment industry they use these people up, make their money, and cast them aside with no regard to how it affects them. The more drama and ruinous, the more they make.

2. Cadillac Build off. Both OCC and PJD were approched to build competing bikes. Sr. immediating begins talkin' smack and belittling his son (again). Sr. states it's a build off and it will prove that OCC builds the better bike and PJD can't. Of course the viewer vote was some 220,000 for Jr.'s bike and 9100 for OCC. Also double to auction price. Of course now Discovery Channel has never aired a follow up show on the results, and Sr. is documented as saying it wasn't a "build-off" and never was. Cadillac just "happened" to commission both to build a bike. Obvious who has control over the shows producers there. Through it all Jr. has refrained from really saying anything negative about his pyscho father.

3. Never really been into the "chopper" thing. I do enjoy seeing some of the theme bikes and watching the metal fabrication aspect. But I have got to say that "Gears of War" "machine" is over the top the most incredible theme "bike" ever created in the history of theme bikes and totally captures the esscence of the theme. Jr. didn't just hit it out of the park, he knocked it out of the state! VINDICATION!!!!!!

4. It's painfully clear that Sr. has never understood, and never will, the artistic process you'd think he'd be proud that his son is gifted with. He sees it as laziness and waiting to do stuff at the last minute. I believe it is his son's gift that put OCC on the map and made them a big success and Sr. is too little of a man to accept it.


Oh and BTW it seems that the banks have finally accepted the mortgage loan modifications Sr. was proposing so they are out of bankruptcy proceedings (which they never would have been in if he hadn't fired his son and drove him into competition).
