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

wishing for a speedy and complete recovery to such a talented man

Geez, poor guy. Always wondered what causes such a health problem.

He rattled Frieburger at Hot Rod mag.

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.

Rick DeBruhl said there was NOTHING we could do??????

We can give a SHOUT OUT to our creator and ask for Healing!!! I am!!!

supposedly encephalitis.

An update from his YouTube channel, they say he's improving. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RGZ0CigPBbU

Of course.

Ye shall be healed!!!

Good news for Steve, he's on the mend and will be back to work in January. https://www.motortrend.com/news/stev...health-update/

Praise God for healing or the miracle of healing. :ranger: HIS

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.

He’s a great addition to the Best Auction, Mecum blows.

Steve himself has posted a new video, he's back among the living and will hopefully be released from rehab soon. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jkD15gnbbPk

Miss Barrett Jackson, all that’s on now is that Milkem Auction. ( mecam ) Can’t watch it. Steve made BJ great

I agree about Steve, but I like Mecum over BJ.

I can't stand the auctioneer babbling in either one... i turn off the sound.

Great he is on the mend.

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.
