Does anyone else remember..

Back when I was a kid I remember watching the old Truth or Consequences game show, I think Bob Barker was the host then. One of the segments was a woman was told she won a new car- a 70 RR I believe, maybe a 69. But the "consequence" was when they pulled the curtain back the motor was all apart, neatly lined up on the floor. She had to build the motor and install it, and if it stared on the first try it was hers. She had a mechanic that could tell her what to do but wasn't allowed to turn a wrench, she had to do it all. Over the course of a couple of weeks she finished it and it started, so she won.
I'm wondering if anyone else remembers it, or maybe even the car survived?

Wow,I wish I saw that!

Yeah, it was pretty cool- I always wondered if the mechanic would sneak back in after she had worked on it and double check everything?
I'm trying to find a video, but googling isn't working. There's also a twon in NM named Truth Or Consequences, and there's a company there called Roadrunner Graphics! You get lots of hits but they're all for the wrong T&C.

There was a show on some time ago with a similar idea. People had to build a custom chopper and if it started and drove they got to keep it. It's funny watching people who never picked up a wrench in their life build something.
