FX has teamed with American Chopper producers Hank Capshaw and C. Russell Muth for Or Best Offer, a reality series project set in the world of used car salesmen. The cable network has ordered a presentation from the project, which Capshaw and Muth are producing with Alex Campbell. Like American Chopper, Or Best Offer centers on a father-son team. The father owns a used car dealership; his son works for him. Or Best Offer is not so much an exploration of the used car sales world but a character piece set in that world, FX vp current programming and alternative series Eric Schrier said. "It's a look into the world of used cars salesmen who are in search of the American dream in depressed post-industrial town only to find that the American dream is rusty and broken down," he said. In addition to American Chopper, Muth and Campbell worked on another Discovery Channel documentary series, American Casino. Capshaw, Muth and Campbell are repped by Endeavor.
