From a twin-turbo BMW 335i to a purple Hyundai Genesis Coupe, each contender comes with its own set of challenges, including high mileage, body damage, and mechanical gremlins. As they meet with owners and test drive the cars, the team faces the daunting task of choosing the perfect candidate to transform into a masterpiece.
