Test Drive Chevy Bel Air "Gasser" 2 Door Post SOLD $26,900 Maple Motors

[@Geezer1320]

Supposed to ride like that. It’s a gasser! Geared perfect too. Needs more cam!

[@alansmlth7989]

1955 and 1957 was the best years for the cool looks for the Chevys.

[@nv1493]

One of the better test drives I've seen, really gives a good sense of the car.

[@timrobertson299]

Nice! looks like old lacquer paint with the cracking going on. body and frame look solid. love the gasser stance and the 4 speed and low gears, I ran 4:88s in mine and love launch you get from them. this will make someone a nice Hot Rod.

[@chevelle-pi1bn]

That 56 is perfect just the way it is ,it would bring a crowd around it at any cruise night and if it could talk I bet it has some great stories .👍

[@dominiccundari8334]

grew up with those cars still love seeing them , would have loved to see you dump the clutch and grabbed a couple of gears but we all know what that leads to great car!

[@mncalapati415]

I see Coyote Classics doing walk around now (not subscribed). Their walk through seems like they’re trying their hardest to sell you something. Nothing compared to your walk through Mondays. You’re more of showing and letting us know about the cars before any of us gets the chance to call about the classics. And you have the price smack dab on the windshield 😁 Keep up the great work and hopefully one day we can talk business. Love from the Bay Area 😷🤙🏼✌🏼🙏🏼

[@MapleMotorsNickSouthgate]

Thank you very much

[@kevinmurphy9982]

YES! That gasser is badasser man...co worker just sold his...gear about the same...that thing screamed at 55. Very cool car Nick...thanks for bearing the cold for this 1.

[@gsmith207]

Most fun you can have under 30K!! So awesome! I would buy one of these gassers just to look at it every day! So cool. My fav would be the Henry J but this is wicked cool as well. Cool build

Must be nice...

[@74dartman13]

@@Octane_Rampage_ yep, I can only imagine. I wouldn't have made a great salesman, though. I'd have to light those tires up on every badass one I drove, especially that gasser with the low gears! It would probably smoke em off, for sure!👍😎

[@beverlysaldana27]

Nice

[@gokomets77]

Surprised Hush Thrush mufflers still on it as they've been out of production for years! Nice ride there!

[@larrydixon5653]

Back in 1969 to 72 dad owned a muffler & custom shop in FTWORTH, TEXAS . Use to put straight axles in everything from tri fives to 70 fastback Mustangs . Built custom fenderwell headers for most of them too

[@markscott3124]

Sorry back again just seen the underscarriage this is a shade tree mechanic good old boy just set up straight and go nice job whoever did it

This car takes me back my 80 when I was in 12 grade riding in my friend's 57 Chevy if I had the money I I take home with a 71 Malibu

[@martydriscoll1402]

I absolutely love this '56.

[@danmyers9372]

Perfect name as it looks like it’s all show and no go. 😉. Am glad to see it is a true straight axle build vs jacked up with A arms.

[@bigsnooks5968]

Glad the rear wheel wells weren’t hacked.nice tri five

That is true old school muscle. Best days of american history. Cars and music.

Thank you

[@redlegs7426]

Hey nick just an idea but an adapter plate on the rear carburetor might bring it up just high enough for the air cleaner to clear the hood just so u don't have to keep taking that air cleaner off n on god I love this car ❤️👍

[@simon.houseaccount4807]

Oh I always liked the gassers.. this is old school cool. .. like to have this in my shed at home 🏡. And. I would. Change a few little things and then drive

[@scottiebartz3098]

Man I love that glasser the color is so beautiful and very amazing but most of all I love that's it's a 4 speed

[@ronaldposey5839]

all the years it took to build that car (which I love ) but the s10 steering wheel would be the first to go .thanks guys cool car.sounds like may need some lucas for them solid lifters lol

[@AmericanMX]

The redo of your parking lot looks great. 😎👍

This one was extra entertaining. As it seems lost on some folks that this car is purposely designed for tilling/plowing short garden rows one at a time, asap. Farm Use Only.

[@Celticman197]

Add up tax, tag, and title, shipping costs, over $32,000. For $5000 more you can get way more of a car than that, something from the 60's.

OMG..if I win the 50 million in Canada this week I m coming to get it..what a fun light jumper...so coooool

Wow!!!!! hush thrush,,,,, didn't know they still made them mufflers, cool

A buddy once had 5:57 gears in his 67 Chevelle. He almost always started in 2nd gear. Seemed a bit much to me. My Mach 1 came with 4:30 gears, that was too much as well, horrible on the highway, lotta fun in town.

[@rmacdougallaliasdogviticus]

@@WisdomOverWicked777Rules Yes they did make them. In fact both Ford and Chevy made them. Mostly used in Drag Racing though, especially the Ford one. Not sure you could factory order one or not but they were available as a special order.

[@rmacdougallaliasdogviticus]

@@WisdomOverWicked777Rules Ralph Ridgeway drove a Z-28 Camero Drag car in 1970 equipped with a 5.57 as well.

[@baylorwebb6914]

Rear drivers side shock has a bolt that’s about to fall out.

that was a great eye man, good call. I walked out and looked and it was missing. springs would support it but I just got a new bolt and fixed her up. Nice call

Yeah I get it I had a $69 dart it was 11 second car it was street legal and I had a 3800 stall converter and I would drive like 55 mph that was the limit and it was like almost like 5000 RPM I said oh man it was like screaming so I couldn't drive it around that much so I understand but it's still neat keep up the good work fellas

That ain't slack it's made to go straight. when you got skinnies on the front fats on the back and she's laid out level like that with two fours you know that you don't pull out in traffic and just go you pull out and traffic wait till it's clear and then you go go go go

[@mondscheinwilliams8666]

Listening to the sound, probably 4:56 gears in it.

[@bobr8766]

Rear differential ratio somewhere between 4.11 - 4.88 It’s a gasser drag racing car, and probably had a big block motor at one time...doubt if it would pass state inspection without a front bumper...

Also tailpipes cut short midway under car.

for sure , always have haters no matter what you do. Thanks for watching

[@55555711]

the car is cool but 350 with no power makes me wonder why they put dual carbs i bet they had a stronger motor in it before and kept it and put this 350 in it nothing wrong with 350 if they are built for a wild car looks like this it needs a wild motor but i do love the car it looked super clean under the car

[@nickwebb9937]

@Buddy Wiser it can be on a small block too if it’s a fully built motor but the one in this video didn’t seem like a great choice.

[@kennethhuff7158]

Dang you have a hard job, I envy you. Clutch looks likes it catches at the top?

[@RK-kj8di]

I see the green C3 Corvette on the lot; can you provide the year, engine, trans, and price on it?

[@827dusty]

This car was built for the quarter mile, not cruising. It's beautiful. This takes me back to the Muscle Car "Hay Day" of the mid to late 1960s. Back then, you saw cars like this on the street all the time. Now it so rare to see one, unless your at a vintage car show.

[@RockyX13]

What's the padlock and chain for? Undercarriage, front driver side.

[@MapleMotorsNickSouthgate]

To keep people from pulling the hood up on that air cleaner

[@musashinagatsubo9574]

Is that a header gasket leak or a lifter ticking?

[@yamahaguy1732]

I say probably exhaust leak

[@lilblickyboyz5364]

@Buddy Wiser so people make them, not the company

[@MisterAMuck]

Assuming that body is not full of Bondo, this would be a great car to redo to make it your own. Start with an update to the entire brake system. Disk Brakes and replace that 1956 Master Cylinder. Once you can stop safely you could make it faster and prettier. And yes that Steering Wheel is just gross. Keep in mind, even just driving it on Sundays means you'll probably need to fill the tank twice. Unless the one I owned started its life as a 6 cylinder, it had a 10.5 gallon tank with a 1970 350ci V8. I never looked into it as I was in H.S. and if not working on it, I was driving it. This car at today's prices is probably a great deal. This thing would have buyers fighting over it had you done a smokey 30 foot burn-out. Of course that would highlight the inadequacies of those Leaf Springs. This will sell quick as there's going to be, "Politics" ------------- THANKS FOR GREAT VIDEOS!!!
