    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!

    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.

    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.

    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.

      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.

      ​​@@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.
