Test Drive 1973 Chevrolet Camaro SOLD $22,900 Maple Motors

[@jessecooper2366]

Dip that car and it would come out with little more then bumper mounts. Waaaaay to much money, but someone will pay and boy will they pay. Glad nick does these videos... he saved me a trip.

[@-MJ-.]

24k for that,,,,lol,,,, not a chance!

[@tonytrumble]

Definitely find the cutout switch because you're running open headers

[@garymofield5222]

Surprised no one noticed the hacked up bumper not a split bumper but a split up bumper.

[@JoeR203]

Did they have some leftover paint at UPS and decided to use it on the Camaro?

[@allmightygreat1892]

Looks like a polished turd

[@steveburnside4390]

😂Damn that’s funny

[@patZ28]

😂😂

[@ufobattleship001]

that price seemed a little steep

[@jonathanmercer7109]

It just baffles me how it is people spend much on what looks like a pretty serious mill, will put Z28 badges on a car that plainly isn't, quite sensibly fit rear discs, but other non-sexy but necessary stuff (wipers on this car, but horn or indicators or what have you on others) gets neglected. That's not against Maple Motors, it's just I don't understand why whoever built it didn't take care of those bits, that cost pennies to get right.

[@Bobbyboom413]

Priorities, Son! Lol! Don't need no wipers if you get going fast enough. The water just flies off. Don't need blinkers if you turn fast enough also. I don't know. I don't get it either. When I worked at my Father's shop I installed thousands of dollars of audio equipment into vehicles that had clear plastic tarp held on with duct tape for a rear window.

[@idiot-983]

Got a weird thing on my TV called weather channel.

[@Tartan1206]

You're not driving this in the rain. It's a fair weather car

[@Danny-ju2ip]

You don't drive this in any rain 🤷‍♂️

[@jonathanmercer7109]

@@Danny-ju2ip I can get that, yet are we so good at seeing into the future? What about screen wash, for bugz? I suppose I'm surprised it's legal for there to be no function wipers, or on some cars horn or other bits.

[@timbutcher9967]

Look for the switch for the cutouts and close them

[@davidgalinat4257]

I was going to say it sounds like it's running on straight headers, then I saw the cutouts.

[@haroldcaldwell2225]

Sounds like the cutouts are open from the popping and cracking when you let off the gas

[@billyengland6735]

That trunk liner covering up some cancer as well as the vinyl top! You’re buying a motor and transmission!

[@spock4evr268]

I just can’t understand why ya’ll at Maple Motors don’t at least do a pre inspection and fix all the burnt out lights!

[@TheGunfighter45acp]

Aw shucks. The horn fooled me again. 👍👍

[@IamVintage72]

Same 😊

[@born2wrench]

10,000 dollars is too much for this rust bucket and they're wanting 25,000 .I would not give no more than 5 grand..

[@johnschifano2489]

You sound like the sort of guy that would knock someone's bollocks off when buying it then try and sell it for 3x the price then get pissed when noone bites

[@tonyt8805]

Nick, the "cut outs" were open! 😉 😎 😉

[@normfox662]

Feel sorry for the person that buys this and has to dump another $15k in paint and body work. That’s the problem with the used muscle car market. A lot of uneducated people paying too much for cars that need tons of work driving the market up.

[@thejeffersonwayne]

This is an easy $25k resto if not more. Paint, ALL the metal work, interior, and electrical work.

[@billyengland6735]

Yikes!

[@SloppyJOLopys]

@@thejeffersonwayne and the crazy part is, you can find this same car in close to mint shape sporting a big block with all the heavy duty sht already done for 25k.

Beautiful car, but jeesh, I'd Hate to see under that vinyl top!

4 speed to boot ? Nice. Also I it has cut outs probably why it's so loud.

[@Car-dx7qk]

"Pretty nice car" he says... has a bunjee cord to hold the rad support😂😂

[@markswede1737]

I agree . Pretty nice car he says. What a bunch of bull s!!! To lazy and cheap to install a bolt.

[@StephenBaird-cp1fc]

The cut outs are open that's why it's loud, love your videos

[@DaleBlice]

A tach not working with a built motor could be disaster i would call this also a bodymans special all go but now show

[@rwg68z76]

Coming from Maple Motors the buyer knows exactly what they're getting and that is all that matters.

[@gw3786]

24,900 for engine that’s expensive

[@SloppyJOLopys]

25k for a 1500 dollar motor and 500 dollar trans

[@billyengland6735]

That trunk liner covering up some cancer as well as the vinyl top!

[@dennislockhart7290]

My money is on the 440 Challenger if you get it tuned, I think it would gap this one..lol

[@benjiarehart2878]

I don't know. I wouldn't count the Camaro out. I think it be a great race though. After sorting out this ones miss, and the other one stalling. He really didn't show us everything the 440 had though. I've been watching him for years, and this is the first time I've ever seen him rawdog any car. I wish he'd do with every car. Speed sells, lol.

[@meagain6889]

Needs Alot of work but COOL CAR!

[@johndisaacs8758]

Camaro , I had one bored over 30 high-rise headers 373 gears hurt shifter 1973 ran high 14teens Holly 650 duel line 350 engine. Sounds fast. Love the body style on these after 73 I lost interest . Thanks for the glory day ride.

[@larryhillebrand5421]

No turn signals no wipers no switch for exhaust cutouts no way ur going to drive this an not get pulled over 😅

[@donbearden1953]

But the horn works so everything will be reduced to a verbal “can you please get the wipers and turn signals fixed?”

[@moclaf4132]

Hand signals are still available

​@@moclaf4132😂😂😂😂 just point to the direction you're going for the folks behind you

Never forget to shake your shifter 😉

You have a break light out on the passenger side bro 😎

If I remember correctly. The shifter is supposed to lock if the key is not in start .

They should of put the Electric-cutouts outwards instead of inwards

Ive got a Bauer drum sander, id love to strip that body with.

It's got exhaust cut outs. Nick you could make it quiet

[@kennethwilley]

Rubber strap holding battery in.... NICE

[@Danny-ju2ip]

This style Camaro was one of the coolest 😎

[@doubledave7451]

A built motor, slicks, a 10 bolt and no frame connectors...........what's gonna break first? lol Could be made into something nice but at $25k to start.....not so sure. This Camaro needs another $10-15k to get right and that's probably not including paint/body work.

[@johnh5896]

I had a 73 RS headers and glass packs I kept getting pulled over so I put factory exhaust .Then put a 4,000$ Alpine stereo in it 1979 first big amps 3502 and it had 2 10” subs and 2 more 3502s for mids and highs ribbon tweeters …sold it for 1200 with new paint in 80 the totaled it into a cement railway bridge .Now I have a 2012 ragtop.😊

[@madmike2624]

The exhaust is louder than the horn!!~

[@bjbuerger1769]

Nice car did you ever find the taco switch to turn off the cut out

[@98wytebird]

cutout switch is probably by the start button....2nd one looks momentary

[@born2wrench]

I had a 73 brown camaro that I painted red . It was a rs z28 clone automatic and i built a 388 stroked . It was a blast

[@darrellmontgomery6614]

Man at least you are honest!! No way that car sales for that

[@chrisgomiller5764]

So is there a way to swap the exhaust from cut out to full exhaust? Like a switch?

[@Statykx]

It has a full exhaust on it. The cutouts are open.

[@chrisgomiller5764]

@@Statykx so how do you switch it?

[@d.vincent6190]

She's a rough ol girl but it's a split bumper Camero gotta love that.

[@mastergunnerysgt1258]

Here I see that everything on the outside is original as can be, for the color is what she came with years ago and the roof the same way. For I love the up grades of 4 wheel discs, engine, trans and rear, for she was not made that way. For she needs some love a long the way and love will always make her that way. For the price is right and that is how I see this old Camaro was made for you and me.

[@69Chevelle48]

There aren't any brake lights or backup lights

[@ccg1171]

Brown is not the best color on a car but looks good on that.

[@johnkemple]

That car could run way better than that. Sounds horrible, and that M21 is worn out. My 72 you to get stuck at every intersection. Random miss, old gas, maybe that's the smell.. I am still gonna watch every week. but 12k is way too much for that Camaro, let alone 24,9..What is up man? Your cars are way better than this..

[@JONNIE_ROCKER]

Cool car, But not $24,900 cool

[@patZ28]

Dont get me wrong i like this car and i love 1970 1/2 thru 1973 camaros, but guys dont put the RS bumperettes on a standard camaro front end. If you like the RS front end do it right and change the whole front end to the correct parts and make it a custom RS, or just go buy a real one from the start

Sorry Nick didn't mean to bash your product

[@tonytrumble]

This could be 100% real easy! Love the split bumper look. 4-speed so this is fun to drive. It'll sell quickly when they actually look at it and see that it truly is a sweet deal!

[@nickhoffman5524]

For the amount of work the car needs and what you are trying to get for hit, I am thinking someone must of hit their head on something when pricing this car. That much rust on roof, you will need to reskin the roof and no telling how much rust in roof structure, trunk pan, and more than likely floor pans.

[@tommydennel5063]
