    Beautiful car and the engine sounds good. What I don't get is someone spends all that money on redoing the car, but can't get the electrical stuff right. 🙄

    55's had a 265 V8 weird engine, had no oil filter mount on the block, the air filter was like a big bowl over the carburetor and filtered air & oil! By '57 they figured out the 350 small block, just a little history for ya!

      Moron oil bath air cleaner did not have anything to do with the oil in the engine. The 265 v8 in this car has a canister type oil filter on the block in the same place as all v8 Chevy do. The 350 small block did not come out until 1967.

    I love all the awesome cars yall sell. This one is iffy. No horn no wipers. Shifter out of cinq..windows not opening properly. Showing some stuffs been done but not to the level the car deserves. I love the color. Needs way too much for me to be interested. I will keep checking on whats new. Especially appreciative of honesty and upfront about everything

    Nice cruiser. That steering would drive me nuts till I get it fixed.. 305 is prob something he had from another vehicle.. I like commenting on here all the time lately.. Love the videos and also nick stays quiet so you cab virtually hear road noise n such.. I like that and also the ones you can get at highway speed for few minutes shut the windows and see the ambient noise. This is 1st one that I have ever felt price for this is iffy compared to normal pricing on your stuff.. Usually on like holy shit is that a misprint or what.. I've actually felt by watching all your rides that I can actually be able to get me something cool on my budget.. It's Marine Corp Gulf War vet don't get a whole lot

    After looking around the internet, there are alot nice cars out there for the money. By that I mean u are going to pay a little more but the vehicle will be night and day to this one. Not a knock on you business u got to make money. Just with your prices and what I've seen from other places way too many problems for what your paying

    • @MapleMotorsNickSouthgate
      @MapleMotorsNickSouthgate  2 года назад +5

      Iv’e only heard the opposite from everyone. Most of the time other dealers buy our cars and mark them up more since we have them $2000 under the national average. Thats why we sell 60 cars a month , we have a hard time even keeping inventory. If you notice well we have 11 cars available now. At the prices we ask we usually sell them before I can even list them. I think what it comes down to is go and try to buy one of those cars that you’re finding on the Internet. Almost 100% of the time it’s not what it supposed to be or it’s not even available anymore. Thats what we go through every day , Thanks
