AMERICAN Pickers has gathered a loyal fanbase from seasons of Frank Fritz and Mike Wolfe scouring the U.S. for rare artifacts they can sell in their antique shops or collect.
While Fritz, 57, has left the hit show, he and Wolfe, 58, have a rare classic car inventory, some of which have price tags that rocketed after the duo's renovations.
1960 Cadillac Fleetwood 60 Special
The American Pickers squad acquired this 1960 Cadillac Fleetwood 60 Special for under $10,000 — HotCars reports.
But the classic model has an average high retail price of $38,600 — according to Nada Guides.
The massive coupe’s model year marked when Cadillac traded the dramatic stylings of 1950s hits like its Eldorado Biarritz for more restrained designs.

This conservative design approach helped set the 1960 Fleetwood 60 Special apart from other manufacturers.
1967 Ford Fairlane GT 390
Fritz and Wolfe bought their 1967 Ford Fairlane GT 390 for a fair price of $7,000.
Unfortunately, the duo could only profit a few thousand dollars off the car, whose numerous repairs generated extra renovation costs.
The model has a 6.4-liter engine delivering 320 horsepower.
A driver can use this horsepower to achieve a maximum speed of 130mph.
1957 BMW Isetta 300
BMW’s 1957 Isetta 300 featured on American Pickers is one of the last post-World War II microcars assembled in Europe.
Microcars were primarily built before 1957 since resources like raw materials and gas were scarce for years after the war, CNBC reports.
Fritz and Wolfe acquired the tiny BMW for $13,000.
The vehicle is valued at $32,000 when deemed in good condition, according to Hagerty.
1969 Dodge A100 Hot Rod Truck
Dodge’s 1969 A100 Hot Rod truck scooped up by Fritz and Wolfe is unique with its oversized tires and chopped roof.

Classic notes the model sells for an average of $30,716 — but this TV duo’s modified version would fetch a more significant number.
1935 Auburn Phaeton 653
This 1935 Auburn Phaeton 653 had been sitting in a South Dakota barn for decades before being found by the American Pickers duo.
The vintage car’s $27,500 price was worth the cost, given that Fritz and Wolfe sold the renovated model for $45,000.
1914 Merz Cycle Car
One of Fritz and Wolfe’s oldest car buys is a 1914 Merz Cycle model purchased for $35,000.
While the vintage vehicle hasn’t yet been sold, its status as one of two Merz Cycles in existence automatically raises its price tag.
1933 Ford Coupe
Ford’s 1933 Coupe shown on American Pickers was a pre-World War II renovation project taken on by Wolfe.
Wolfe paid $16,000 for the model and could earn a solid profit after completing the car’s renovations.
But Wolf has reportedly said that he would use the Ford as a personal car.
