Chumlee Does it Again! “Pawn Stars” Star Spends Big on Customized Buick
Las Vegas – Leave it to Chumlee to make a purchase that leaves the “Pawn Stars” patriarchs scratching their heads. In a classic episode of the hit History Channel show, Chumlee’s impulsive spending reached new heights when he shelled out $5,000 for a customized 1986 Buick Regal.
The episode begins with Chumlee surprising Rick and the Old Man (Richard Harrison) with a big reveal. Their reactions are priceless.
Upon hearing that Chumlee bought a Buick Regal, the Old Man’s face falls. “First off, a 1986 Buick Regal should be sold for scrap metal,” he declares, even before seeing the car.
The real shock, however, comes when they finally lay eyes on Chumlee’s purchase. He didn’t just buy the car; he tricked it out.
A whopping $3,000 in upgrades transformed the Regal into a lowrider, complete with hydraulics and tricked-out suspension. Corey Harrison, equally bewildered, questions the investment: “Where did the three grand go?
You spent more than you paid for it, and I can’t tell…what did you do to it?”
While Rick and Corey find the situation amusing, the Old Man is less than impressed. “That’s the most stupidest thing I have ever seen in my life,” he proclaims.
The comedic climax arrives when Richard is forced to ride back to the shop in Chumlee’s new ride. His threat to Chumlee – “If you hit those hydraulics, I will kill you” – is met with, of course, Chumlee hitting the hydraulics, leaving Richard clinging to the car for dear life.
It’s another unforgettable “Pawn Stars” moment, proving that while Chumlee’s purchases may be questionable, they always make for good TV.
