The Incredibly Expensive Item The Pawn Stars Bought With Actual Gold

The Pawn Stars season 4 episode, "Buy the Book," introduced audiences to an enigmatic gentleman who goes by the name Uncle Phil. With a confident strut, Uncle Phil approaches Rick Harrison with what seems like a straightforward offer at first. Phil has a particularly nice vintage car — a 1932 Lincoln Roadster to be exact — and he wants to sell it today.

Harrison is always down to flip cars, and a quick examination of the car tells him everything he needs to know. Aside from some minor cosmetic damages and the need for a serious polish, the Lincoln is in near-perfect condition. Apparently Uncle Phil acquired the Roadster from a museum some years back, so it's been given a fair amount of care. Harrison loves it, and offers Uncle Phil a sizable sum of $85,000. Unfortunately, this is not enough for Uncle Phil, who is dead-set on getting $100,000 for the automobile.
