When I was 8 years old in 1974,my neighbor was selling a 55 for 140 dollars, i ask mom can you buy that car for me so I would have it when I grow up ,she said no son when you grow up there will be nicer cars modern, i still remember this car ,well I said to my self a few years ago, when I turn 55 I'll have a55 did not happen raising 3 kid's was not easy, then i turned 56 no car then i turned 57 no it did not happen either, now I'm 58 and loosing hope, but i raised a power plant mechanic, and two nurses, dame life is cruel, i know this video is about a camaro but i had to get this feeling out of me for the 10.000time I love your videos 😂😂
I hear you brother, 62 and still looking for my first C3. Going to be the first 80 year old who buys a ‘72 C3 one day and is buried in it the next day after dying a happy man behind the wheel. Ran into an old man a few years back at the doctor. Heard him coming first from blocks away. A Hellcat has a way of doing that. When the car pulled in the lot I expected a young lady or young man to get out. Instead a gray haired old man struggled to get out. I walked over and complimented him on the car and he was more than happy to tell me the story. I asked if he was going to pass his car to his next of kin. He said “Heck no! I’m going to be buried in it or go out with it.” I’m in no position to give advice, but I say we are going to have pull the trigger some day. I have a daughter that used to street race in her younger days and loves cars and am looking for a project for us and her son. Let’s keep those classic cars on the road and those “Chinese battery using piece of crap electric cars” on the car lots.✝️🇺🇸🫡
@@Molon_Labe61 the kid's nowadays with those Chinese rice grinder, will never look as good as we did ,i always say if you were not born at least in the 50s or 60s you missed it all ,like you said what ever it takes we have to get the ride we love even if we die the next day,take care mister may your dream come a reality
One of your nicest Camaros Nick! A lot to be said about the door jams and how nice the door closes.That color and those Cragers are perfect together. Spray chrome air filter= 25 visual additional HP’s.
Still a live at 55 and still a good looking lady. The gold color is a nice eye popper and makes it really stand out. With a little TLC you have one hell of a ride at 55. Not bad at all for a 68 GOLD Camaro.
I like the column shift and bench because they are different. 327 is a great engine. I understand the little things not working. After you have spent a lot of time building a car you just want to drive it. Everyone intends to fix the little stuff later. Seldom gets done. Nice car, won't last long.
I'm very surprised that this column shifter is still there, a lot of people would of drilled a hole in the floor and put it on the floor,👍 Nick sweet ride should be a quick flip 🔥
👍This hasnt sold yet?? Look at that stance ! 💪327 AND in GOLD heck yeah! 🚗💨💨💨💨 Music to my ears she's breathing good! New back shoes to boot 🙂 with plenty of skin to burn
If I had the money you would be writing "SOLD" on the windshield. Few little things that need fixing but a beautiful looking and sounding car. Looks good underneath and under hood. Novas are my favorite car but I like Camaros too.👍👍
Nick get a low voltage tester ….. you can now tell if power is going to the dome light , horn , gauges ….. if you got power ….. the tool is going to chirp and light up 😊 Thanks Nick !
Sounds strong! Overall, it is one of the better-looking Camaros on the channel. Makes me miss my 50th anniv that much more now being discontinued in 2024.
Thats a nice car I just don't understand why do all that work and not make sure the little things work no wiper's no blower or horn have build a lot of car's in my time and made sure all worked but is a nice looking car
Sorry to comment twice but after watching the video......car is worth the money motor is stout car had someone who loved her ...34 today priceless in a decade!!!
What is not to like it about this motor. No computer, no sensors, easy access to alternator, water pump if needs to be replace. Heaven for a do it yourself.
Good looking Camaro. I'm not 100% sure but that rear spoiler looks larger than Chevrolet put on any Camaro pre 69. I could be wrong, I just don't remember any that tall on 67 and 68 models
No, It looks correct, although might be aftermarket? I had a 68 rs in H.S., didnt have rear spoiler so I put one on that I ordered from Classic Industries and so did my brother on his 69. The first gens spoilers are pretty much identical all three years. On the 2nd gens they had a lower sloped one piece and also a taller fin looking one with side pieces for rear qtrs
Beautiful Camaro. What's not to like? No sign of any real rust issues. Didn't see any patch panels. Chassis was spotless. Stainless steel headers and Cragers, even the mods are nice. If whoever is reading this wants this car, they better hurry. It will not last long.
That not a 68 ss they came only with a 4 speed or automatic on the floor I know I had 1 it was a 350 ss has all.matching numbers that's a clone sorry to say and the hood on that car mine had a raised hood with the 2 louvers on top of the hood that just a plane Jane it worth about 20 grand that's a guy that trying to rip you off sorry but it's a plane Jane too bad people that has a car lot do this to people plus my doors panels in side said ss inside even the steering wheel mine had on it ss on it nobody in there right mine would by it
Always amazed me, people spend thousands but ignore these easy items. Wipers have a relay, a switch and a motor. You could replace all 3 in 45 minutes.
@@MapleMotorsNickSouthgate you tell Jim Jr .....I miss seeing him it's been a long time !!!! I speak up on the cars because I know this family they are great people .....I base buying a scratch off lottery ticket on if I guess right on if the horn blows lol....Tell Jr that the carpet man Kip still has that 44mag and ask him if his memory still remembers our trip to Dalton to get carpet for his first house....if he does he will remember the 44 he gave me to help get us the deal...lol good times ur to young Nick for me to know but Jr ? Yes good dude and Sr ? Class act ....I chime in on ur ads bc I know cars and I love them ....Ask Jr if he remembers the split bumper 70 Camaro called eliminator wit a polished tunnel ram? I rode shot gun in many cars Maple has had and I can't tell you what respect I HV for the Fires......four decades worth so I'm always gonna push a maybe into a buyer .....PS tell Jr I raise AKC Old English Mastiffs now if he ever wants a big dog .....favors always to friends

Go get this one….life is short
Perhaps you could ask your kids for a small loan to get that 55?

Beautiful color, Gold metallic , pretty Camaro 327/295h.p.

hands ✋️ down maples motors is the place to buy .
Very good looking 68! I love the fact that they left the factory column shifter on it.
Sounds strong! Overall, it is one of the better-looking Camaros on the channel. Makes me miss my 50th anniv that much more now being discontinued in 2024.
Usually not a fan of gold colored cars but it works on this Camaro! I like it!!!!
Thats a nice car I just don't understand why do all that work and not make sure the little things work no wiper's no blower or horn have build a lot of car's in my time and made sure all worked but is a nice looking car
Definitely not 35,000 in that shape
Sorry to comment twice but after watching the video......car is worth the money motor is stout car had someone who loved her ...34 today priceless in a decade!!!
Ole school cragar ss rim ....love it
Hey Nick I believe it has a power glide transmission.
What is not to like it about this motor.
No computer, no sensors, easy access to alternator, water pump if needs to be replace. Heaven for a do it yourself.
They are appreciated more than ever.
Beautiful old Camaro
Wow you guys are gangster 😎 over there selling , Nice 68 my favorite small block 327 small journal 💯
Awesome car…sounds great ... first one I’ve seen in a long time that there’s absolutely nothing I’d want to change on it
🍀Let the good times raw 😎✌️
Real muscle car there
Oh Nick I don't know if this is an original GM color but this car is gorgeous, you won't have this one long.
wow classic 68 Camaro with the original motor!!!! I love it !!! Thanks for the ride Nick!!!
What a beauty nick! Looked pretty strong when u stabbed it a little ! 😂✌
Super nice first gen numbers car for $35k? Yes please. This may very well be an L-79 car. 12:20 - your average 327 don't run like that lol.
Good looking Camaro. I'm not 100% sure but that rear spoiler looks larger than Chevrolet put on any Camaro pre 69. I could be wrong, I just don't remember any that tall on 67 and 68 models

You have a backup light out on the driver side bro 😄.
Super nice car. Very clean. If AC worked a very good buy.
I love this Camaro much more than the green one. it’s a nice start toward a car that could be restored.
That sounds sweet, got some poke in her. Nice ride 😎😎😎👍👍👍
Nice ride man👍🏼
Thanks ✌
Beautiful Camaro 💯. Love this ride NICK.
Odd color but I'm diggin' it. 🏁
Thanks for another excellent video! Car don’t look that bad! Mike from Cleveland Ohio. Rock-n-Roll

Never once called it an SS car , thanks
@charleslong8634 Nobody said it was an SS. If you can find any '68 Camaros that nice for $20k, you better buy them all.
Nice 68 looks good 👍 big 10.
Column shift! 😓 never understood why GM and Chrysler put column shifts on pony cars.
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
Some people actually loved column shift cars😆
I love column shift
It belongs in a station wagon but not here.
I'm with you. If I owned this car, that's the first thing I'd change.
Like that car looks nice will sell quick
I love it. I need it. I want it !
No brake lights- there’s a ticket waiting to happen. Hope you fix that before it leaves the lot.
Nope. They don't fix anything
Nice car... you should keep it.
That's a runner son.
Classic.
Back bottom left there's your leak
Your detail guys painted that pulley and then some LOL.
Beautiful car
Now we are talkimgy generations hot rod. Thanks Nickm I share most of your videos with west coast.
Central California watching

Does that have the power glide transmission in it still
Notes no mirror on right side ??
Nice one
No wipers, radio, horn, blower, wow.
Easy fix
Always amazed me, people spend thousands but ignore these easy items. Wipers have a relay, a switch and a motor. You could replace all 3 in 45 minutes.
Tight😎
No break lights bro 😞.
You have a backup light out on the driver side bro 😹
Sweet
No compressor a c wasn't working
she has a 1969 or later turbo 350 transmission,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
I get the horn right about 1 time out of 50
Shit $3.89 for high octane is cheap. It’s $4.60 up here in the northeast
Yeah that left reverse side wasn't working
Other than the ''brown'' it's nice. I would get a new paint job asap.
Definitely not brown
Buyer beware!!!! Stop watching this channel if you don't wanna buy a hot rod ......been a few nice ones in the last few days !!!!!

I think the Camaro is overrated. Still a beautiful car
You do trades? Thinking of selling or trading in my 75 K5 california blazer.
Need to know your address for GPS, I DON'T HAVE A COMPUTER. WOULD LIKE TO DRIVE DOWN SOME TIME.
That spoiler is too high for that camaro
No it is correct sir !
I've stand corrected
