The various Motortrend shows are starting to bleed into each other but Hot Rod Garage and Roadkill Garage are probably the best ones. Roadkill tends to be too stupid, whenever I hear them say something like whoops, we sort of didn't address the sketchy radiator (or distributor or other key part) back when we were dealing with the car I'm now convinced they did that on purpose hoping that piece of **** would fail on them and they could have their roadside sloppy fix moment. But it's still a pretty good show. Roadkill Garage (I think) is where I learned about the Chrysler Jet, the small boat powered by a small-block V8 with special exhaust manifolds, and it's got a boat version of the Super Bee! I even ordered the shirt from the only place on Earth that seems to have them -

The flipping part interests me the least and it's, thankfully, at the end. I just like watching them go through the cars, explaining the typical problems for that particular model and how you're supposed to handle them, the obvious upgrades (brakes, bushings, etc.) and the occasional performance upgrades, the interior fixes (I can't stand car shows where the car is "done" yet the interior is gutted and they're lucky there's actual glass installed) and body work. I also like the "save money" repairs where they take the component apart and replace the worn seals, bushings or whatever so that the thing works again for the cost of parts (like $30) vs. replacing the whole thing (like $200).
I like the car YouTube videos from the people I'm already familiar with from the various TV shows. They're hit and miss but I like seeing old cars getting on the road again. There's a series I like with a guy who just rebuilds muscle car engines, all kinds like Pontiacs and Buicks and whatever, has the finished engine on a stand so he can run it and show that it works. It's usually stock specs, maybe higher compression or improved rods or something, but nothing exotic.
