Test Drive 1968 Chevrolet Camaro 400 V-8 SOLD $27,900 Maple Motors

[@orchids3332]

Watched hundreds of classic car vids over the years. Hands down Nick you're the most honest guy when it comes to 20 footers. Nobody else puts their cameras a quarter inch away from the flaws. Good work brother!

[@MapleMotorsNickSouthgate]

Thank you

[@haroldbirge6881]

🏆Maple motors 🏆 rules the roost & 🎅 great viewers🤶

[@twhit6337]

I bought this from Nick and Jim. Doing a full restoration and will post a video once done. So far has Wilwood disc brakes front and rear, new power steering box and pump, all new brake lines, Wilwood hydro master cylinder, Hooker headers, new gauges, seats and carpet. The previous owner had a love affair with Bondo so lots of grinding and correct patch panels welded in. Next are new rockers.

[@MapleMotorsNickSouthgate]

Sounds like it is going to be a killer car when you get done! Thanks for the update…

[@sillyputtytastesgood]

How's it look now?

[@liamgross7217]

Needs a little tlc but what a great car. Merry Christmas to all in the US from this bloke in Australia. Muscle cars make America great. I’m jealous of the range you folks have.

[@jackwessels9189]

Great job showing this one. It needs a lot of work. Undercarriage is cleaner than the interior. Sorry, but it looks like it was rode hard and put away wet. Nick you do an awesome job so keep it up.

[@RobertSiwik1968]

The car has good bones. But its a cosmetic nightmare. Definately needs a bunch of rust fixed and paint. Looks like an older resto. I knew when i saw the Grant wheel the horn wasn't gonna work! LOL. The undercarraige is clean and it has subframe connectors. Not a bad car. I would love to know what you paid for it. You do a great job on pointing out the flaws. Your pretty honest for a used car salesman. I love the videos. Keep it up.

[@marktemple4081]

I watch your videos all the time, I'm a big street hot rod guy. 27 Grand...come on man WAY TO MUCH!! More like 14 grand at the most, needs a ton of work.

I just bought the 1967 Nickey Chevy Camaro (1 year earlier) Johnny Lightening toy car with the same Wheels but with headlights and rear break lights (red diffuser) and turn signal rear/front lights (white diffuser) and but no Firebird tailfin looks. These Camaros don't have headlights like the '67 Camaro Hot Wheels? It is still interesting to watch the 1968 Camaro almost looking like a race car or day time only driving if headlights aren't designed for these.

[@Turner.1]

My cousin, Sonny Drake, had a 68,we put a small block 400 in it , in the seventies,with duel Holley's,4 speed in the floor,it would melt the back tires off.strong scary ride

[@davidwright873]

That dART engine is top cheese right there!

[@lawrencejelsma8118]

Dodge Dart? The Darts have that hood vent reversed from this one in 1968 (check Hot Wheels Art Car series from 2022). But yeahh Camaros pulling air from behind by the windshield vs from air coming from the front of the vehicle design with Darts is mysterious.

[@GolfInHawaii69]

​​@@swully-ol4lx 27k was already too high for the interior. I heard that beastly 400 just purring Then I thought ok I could work with this. But then the exterior definitely shoots down the price. 12k is too low for this 68 classic but ild probably buy it for 18. This car in the condition it is probaly worth 20-21k max. Deffinatly probably gonna need 10k or more to fully restore it. Good thing is it sounds great mechanically and clean engine bay.

[@redsammy7789]

I got a question, who puts the price on them before you take the test drive for the first time and points out all the flaws? is all the flaws known and put in the price before you see the car? who has already put that price on it before you even look or drove it? what is your position at maple motors? just a test driver?

He has always said that he marks up the price 3 to 4 grand on top of what he paid for the car.

We have guys here who check the cars out and price them according to the market. Once I get to the car I review them for the video and it is my first time checking them out. I do this in real time as if I was buying the car, looking for flaws. Thats how it works here , Thanks

67 was the only year with the vent window. Front end is exactly as an SS or RS should be minus the bumper and brackets. It is best to remain ignorant in silence than to open your mouth and announce it to all.
