The variety show "Get Rich Quick! Treasure Mountain" (Nippon TV), hosted by Koji Kato of the comedy duo "Gokuraku Tombo," will be broadcast from 9:00 p.m. on January 5th.
This time, together with car enthusiast Hiromi, he will repair and revive dormant cars and motorcycles, and put them up for auction.
A viewer contacted the program saying, "It's a car full of memories for my late father and I've been keeping it carefully stored in the garage, but I'd like it repaired so that it can be driven again," and Kato, Hiromi, and Akimoto Manatsu came face to face with the legendary sports car, the Fairlady Z. How much would the restored classic car fetch at auction?
Furthermore, they are also working on a project to completely revive the West German-made amphibious vehicle "Amphicar," of which very few remain. It is a legendary and extremely rare vehicle, with only 4,000 units produced despite the huge investment of 9 billion yen at the time for its development, and in recent years it has been sold at an auction in the United States for approximately 64,400 dollars (approximately 9.5 million yen at the time).
The total cost of the car and repairs was 3 million yen, with Hiromi contributing part of the repair costs. It will be interesting to see how much the Amphicar, restored by professional hands, can be sold for.
