Steve Magnante health issues
Edit: See update in post #15 below, Steve has posted a video - he's recovering and soon will be out of rehab.
Many people are familiar with Steve Magnante, host of the Junkyard Gold TV show and commentator on Barrett-Jackson auction coverage. Turns out he's currently suffering from a brain infection - there's a short update video on his YouTube channel. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h2p6tDvHE6g Last edited by Stuart; 01-09-2024 at 05:25 PM. |

He rattled Frieburger at Hot Rod mag.
https://bangshift.com/general-news/c...n-bench-races/ I think he got fired for street racing? Great guy and wealth of knowledge. I need to buy his Muscle car book. Get well Steve!!!

His "Junkyard Crawl" YouTube stuff can be very interesting.

Glad to hear Steve is on the mend!
Used to catch Steve's yarding adventures on Velocity, believe that was the venue. N Last count, I'd spent time combing through & pulling parts in 5 of the large boneyards Steve had filmed episodes in. Last one being in western SC with fellow PY'er.

Let’s see, Scottsdale vs Kansas City. Kissimmee vs Palm Beach. Milkem makes a nice venue. Lol. No comparison One nite the guy on milkem said the 4” dryer hose was stock on a TA. The guy don’t spray bomb it wit SEM either , it was unpainted, They even try to copy Steve, but do a dab job at that too.

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
