I like the way you point out the flaws on every car its shows your not hiding anything keep up the good work i just may buy a car off you one day

[@MapleMotorsNickSouthgate]

Thank you

[@KenRubenstein]

I've wanted (massive understatement) an early 70's Dodge Challenger since I was pretty much an embryo. It's THE most badass and beautiful muscle car ever designed. You are now officially my hero.

[@MapleMotorsNickSouthgate]

Thank you

[@bradquall1547]

I have to say.. This car looks good. I am way more of a chev guy but i do like some mopars like this... I am a fan of dusters and demons

[@01trsmar]

@@joshuamedina8920 ..Why make it have headgasket problems,injector issues and oil burning problems..Plus it would be slower with a lsx! A mild 440 with a supercharger is over 1000 hp nothing radical,just a under the hood supercharger.. My stock looking 440 in my 68 Charger RT with 3.23 gearing and automatic,car looks 100% stock runs low 10's@132 mph with street tires! It's 9 second car or better if set up! But the car is restored to stock looking and this engine wasnt to be in it..My other one was but I blew it up and we put this in it! My other one runs low 11's with a mild 440 running 590 horsepower,660 ft lbs..just a 89 pump gas low compression mild cam monster! Yes LSX engines are great but leave it in a GM..

Nice car but the constant noise from that electronic fuel pump would drive me nuts! Other than that, not a bad Mopar.

Man, you do a excellent job test driving the cars with big power, showing us the output. & love da way yOU keep it REAL!...DAMN!...YOU GOT MY DREAM JOB!..SMH🥺

Worth the price.... Body alone is rare...

I disagree .... by the looks of these cars they still need a lot of tender loving care .... I'm looking for a new project but not looking to spend close to $30k and dump another $20k getting it running properly ..

[@adamdavis2760]

@@richki.24 I agree with you. What these cars are trying to accomplish are giving the everyday working Man a shot at owning a classic at something he can afford... it allows him to get in and drive it but if you think these cars don't need work well then you're just throwing your money away

[@minicooper1568]

I love all the beautiful cars and trucks but I'm a Ford freak from childhood and I'm always seeing nice ones on your lot,maybe one day I can make it there for a walk around the lot myself,it's just a long way from Florida for a test drive!

I hope ur not going to sell that with no heat or a.c. and without wipers. Transmission sounds weird too. I couldn't offer more than 14k..

[@1982MCI]

Maple Motors Muscle Cars Nick Southgate hey Nick, how long did it take to sell the challenger buddy? For the idiots throwing out embarrassing numbers too you don’t actually have a clue of what they are looking at and it’s a steal for your price from what I see.

for 20k maybe

Idc about the 440 but I do care about the heat. A 360 will walk a 440 sorry

[@ohboy2592]

Dannyjoe81 1996mustanggt say what? The only way an anemic 360 walks a 440 is if it’s only running on 4 cylinders. 360’s were turds

If it was a 440 r/t you wouldn't get it for 28. Try 60+

That's the one for me. I had a ’73 in that same "Top Banana Yellow/Black color combo back in the day. Every time I see one nowadays, (which ain't that often,) I kick myself for selling it...

The first thing i would change is the steering wheel. Nice car!

[@GrooveDuude]

Love the gloss black hood.

Groove Duude and I was thinking it would look so much better matte black the way they came from the factory but that’s what is so nice is we all like different things, otherwise we would all be driving fricken white Prius’s

I would change the color, take the spoiler off, and change the steering wheel other than that this is a bad ass

[@1982MCI]

Jay Morgan and don’t forget about kick downs and every steering wheel is off center too, lol 😂

[@ChopsRocks302]

Yeah man, that is one SWEET looking (& sounding) '71 Chally R/T! But a windshield wiper delete? Are you kidding me? Hmmm, I guess it's never meant to be driven in the rain, haha. Great looking paint job (hopefully it's Mopar accurate), though I would have liked to see the chrome door handles left chrome & not painted the body color. The T/A scoop hood is a nice detail. I know that they only ever came stock on the '70 Challenger T/A (& flat black), but as a custom touch on this '71 & being gloss black - I have to say it looks REALLY good, & a good match to those cool aftermarket "vintage style" rims. All in all - yeah, I'd buy it. But I'd get those mechanical issues sorted first, ie: heater, A/C, fuel pump hum, WINSHIELD WIPERS, etc.

[@Ladco77]

Well I usually pull them back to wash. Most of them you just pump the gas 3 times and by the 3rd crank they start. I’ll try and keep it in mind for future videos. Thanks

[@gearhead9943]

Maple Motors Muscle Cars Nick Southgate would be so so cool to see the actual cold start!

[@1982MCI]

Gearhead why? What is so fricken special about everyone on the Internet making a huge deal about cold start this and cold start that!! Unless your troubleshooting certain problems an actual cold start is no fricken different than any other old start done whether you are naked with your Dunlop hanging to your toes or if the Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders were Layed out across the entire top of the car, a start is a start is a start is a start! And I am a formally trained mechanic with 40+ years of experience and the only time I have ever heard that word or phrase started a few years ago on the internet and I’m sure it was some beanstick millennial with coke bottom glasses on that thought 💭 it sounded cool to say around the couple of buddies that he rented on the weekends to make home look less nerdish cause there is absolutely no difference unless it’s really cold and it may turn a tad bit slower God I wish I could have the last ten minutes of my life back to do over cause it sure wasn’t worth wasting it on so called “cold start” craze circling the Internet!!!!!

[@firefighter3b]

Why it’s called a slap stick! My 71 was like that. Fuel pump under back seat? To loud! Drive nuts 🥜

[@ohboy2592]

Because you could shift it manually and when you slapped it into the next gear that’s as far as it would go. Others you could slap the shifter and it could advance more than the next gear.

[@dennissawyer8496]

I wish you would include a burnout in these test runs.

[@sleepybrew]

who deletes the wipers???

[@jkramer432]

Will the transmission shift automatically or do you have to always manually shift it?

[@MapleMotorsNickSouthgate]

Manual

[@jkramer432]

Thanks for the explanation!

[@1982MCI]

R K it would be best to yank that pile of crap out and replace it with a nice stock 727 torqueflight which then you can let it do all the work but you can also shift it as he is if you are wanting to run her hard so you have the best of both worlds. This one probly has the 904 torqueflight in it now which even a stock built 904 would be fine as long as your not constantly racing it. The 704’s were used in the high performance small blocks as well as every big block that mopar built. Why anyone would put a manual valve body in that thing is beyond me. If that body and floor/undercarriage is in as nice a shape as what the body appears to be then the price is a steal!! The prices on these, especially the 71’s, have been going thru the roof the past few years. If it is an original R/T then it’s pure gold, which someone probly just put that stripe kit on but it’s still worth looking at the numbers on, replace with a numbers matched engine and you can have a $100k car in a few years for $50k or less
