MAPLE MOTORS CLASSIC CARS RESTORATION PROJECTS FOR SALE

I stopped by Maple Motors in Hendersonville, TN to check out what classic trucks, vintage cars and muscle cars they had for sale. It was awesome to meet part owner and fellow You Tuber Nick Southgate from the channel@MapleMotorsNickSouthgate
Nick is third generation car guy and him and his family have been selling classic cars for decades and after meeting some of the members and seeing the wholesome vibe it’s no wonder Maple Motors has been so successful in providing affordable classic cars and running and driving project cars for decades!
Video features full walk through of the current inventory (April 2024) while Nick and I talk shop, I was able to get several 60’s and 70s muscle cars, chevy tri-five restored cars, project cars ready for restoration, classic chevy corvettes, classic roadrunner plus so much more! Check out the full inventory on Maple Motors KZbin channel or visit www.maplemotors.com online or in person 829 W Main St, Hendersonville, TN 37075

I lived by this place in 07, they legit have a museum out front everyday. I stopped several times just to look, as far as I remember everyone was very nice and glad to answer any questions I had. It's good to see you guys are atill around.

[@RanasRadar]

It does feel like a museum with all the cars out front, but yes still around and I don’t think they’re going anywhere, very nice family.

[@markpowers7823]

Wow, where did all the hate come from? Yes, some cars need work, some more than others. Are you mad because you cant afford one? Im not in a spot to be able to buy, but love watching the videos regardless. Want a car that doesnt need work, mint condition, go to a Barrett Jackson auction, and pay those prices. Maple Motors, love the videos, and the cars, keep it up!

[@GMCTIM]

Hey Thanks Nick for bringing us these Beautiful old cars in one place ! Ppl gripe about the cars, shouldnt own one ! 👍

[@kyleforeman4543]

Been watchin Nick an family for around 5 yrs, sell alot of muscle cars,, tks for sharing

[@RanasRadar]

You’re welcome, I was glad to meet the family up close and these prices are pretty good!

[@johnstamos5579]

I watch their videos all the time, and I'm so surprised to see you there. Thanks for the video

[@RanasRadar]

Welcome glad you liked it!

[@curtturner4216]

I bought mt 67 camaro from them just a great experience! Super good people.

[@RanasRadar]

That’s awesome!

[@user-nv8xi7pj2j]

I really love Maple Motors; and the way they do business. I hope they don’t change anything! I think they are the very best auto company out there.

[@Comcast302]

Classic cars are going for what a buyer is willing to pay... seriously I purchased 4 months ago at Maple Motors a 1971 Chevelle with a SS setup still a clone but had the S&S package. it was 1 off 3 on the front row, in December 2023. I chose the 1971 with the 454, I watched the video scrutinize the video 6 times I could see the visuals under carriage and the interior, I processed what's under the hood - aluminum heads Eldebrock Victor Jr intake intake manifold - 750 quick fuel carb - electric radiator fan - American race wheels M/T tires, Upon receiving it I pulled the brake drums it had Yukon chrome moly race axles - Yukon Locker posi-tract chrome moly limited slip rear-end with 4.11-T pinion shaft packed into the 12 bolt rear-end, 3 speed horseshoe 350 turbo transmission in the center console with a 3,000 rpm torque converter, with a lock switch set-up of which locks up the torque converter released by brake switch for intown driving. Basically a lot of love went into this classic car by the previous owner in this 1971 Chevelle Pro-Street Car, The previous owner did the main share of adding or replacing parts like 3 new inner fenders, front floor pans, new interior and headliner, SS dash and new fuel tank, figure the owner did all this work back in 2015, how did I know this ? Research... little tid bits showing when the work was done, sure there was some finish work touch-up paint to do, but not a problem for me, we fixed up what wasn't working... I knew investing another $3,000.00 over what I paid them for it, would bring it into what I would invision it's worth and selling value... having great interior not hacked up... a built 454- 4 bolt main full race engine with with good internals big Lunati 240-252/575-575 lift@108 LSA full race aluminum heads 1.6 rockers Moral Lifters. bored to a 468 drag car... now after going through the car compared all this to what I would have paid for here close to home it would be a $39,000.00 to $40,000.00 car here in Oregon I came out ahead paying 33,500.00 investing 3,000.00 and still having fun

[@RanasRadar]

That’s awesome! Attention to detail I guess is key but your right a little time love and some money is always needed if your in this hobby.

[@keithfitterer6899]

Anyone looking at these cars has to have some knowledge of what they’re getting into because of their age. It’s a matter of doing your research on what you’re looking for as some people have their personal mechanics look at what they’re buying. Just check out the videos and go from there. Nice selection of cars to get into!👍👍

[@RanasRadar]

I guess anytime you buy a used vehicle there is a chance something may not be right , now you put a classic in the mix and of course there will be problems but to see something in one piece running and driving is definitely the best start anyone can wish for, thanks for watching and welcome to my channel!

[@bradleycamden7545]

We bought our '57 Bel Air from MM. Absolutely love it.

Maple motors do price their vehicles below others. But most need work.. few are turn key.. good canvases to build to ones liking.

I watch Maple Motors all the time, had 1967 Chevelle red with black vinle roof, 396, 375 HP balanced and blue printed engine in it, what a hoot to drive, should have kept it, now have a reg cab zr1 1993 Silverado 30 years old now as my muscle truck stepside

[@prime2669]

Nice project cars 👍🏼

[@RanasRadar]

Agree!

[@ohioken1]

Personally I would rather buy a real project car. These are lipstick jobs, with many hidden issues. So buying one of these means you pay a premium then end up stripping it and then restore it. A rear project car can be found for far less money and you can easily see up front what needs repaired. In the end, restoring a rear project car would be a lot cheaper in the long run.

[@prime2669]

I had to fast forward to the '57 Imperial. I thought it was under $6k.

[@Doug_Hefernen]

Are these Bondo rides or do they have steel sheet metal?

[@CAROLDDISCOVER-FINDER2525]

I noticed he's been showing more lower cost projects lately. Actually somebody named Elaine who is totally off base is the reason why I'm stating my original comment. These are some great people. They come through some health situations as well. But when I brought up how great these people were my comment disappeared. As far as the prices I think on some of these things they're a bit high. But obviously people are willing to pay them. Obviously they're not paying the prices that they're selling them for. So he knows where to buy them cheaper like some of the rest of us do. And the number of cars that he sells is just outstanding. Now this way Elaine cannot bad mouth anybody and she won't have to be thrown under the bus figuratively speaking. Which when she was talking about me and being thrown under the bus she didn't mention the word figuratively. But that's KZbin for you. I don't think it was the host of this particular interview. I did not catch your name. But regardless of what I think of the price is if you went out to hunt and the expense to hunt down a particular car that he would have already at Maple motors. I do believe you'd have more involved in the hunt as far as cost and what you could possibly save. I enjoy looking at the cars and he demonstrates.

[@RickyRicardo-jd8ed]

Ain't she Sweet ❤

[@unclefester6033]

Everything You sell is a project car! 3/4 the stuff you feature on test drives have many things that dont work🤔

[@sergeantmasson3669]

Most are not road legal and are sold as-is with zero warranty. I drove 1600 miles to look at a car that was a rusty POS junk.

[@vincentlane4894]

⁉️However, one huge issue, regardless of condition (unless a true rust bucket) ALL muscle and classic cars NEED to be protected from the weather, PERIOD!!! These cars easily start the rusting process if sitting outside, it’s unavoidable unless they’re protected. Not even a cheap canopy? But thank you for sharing a great video

[@RanasRadar]

Thanks for sharing your thoughts, I don’t think these cars stay in the lot for too long but absolutely I hear what you mean and hopefully others can understand and keep their beloved classics sheltered.

[@robertbilger5794]

He just admitted that their mark up is more than the $2-3000 that he says they only get. If you only pay $20,000 per car the lot price wouldn't be over $30,000!!!! I would say they are about $10,000 to $15,000 over priced for what the buyer is getting! Either that or they are negotiating the price for alot less than the windshield price!!!!!
