    Gorgeous classic! I’m a career military veteran, retired from 21 years of active duty military service. I WILL be in contact with you all in the near future. Y’all have some amazing vehicles. You’re videos and your treatment of your customers is wonderful, it reminds me that there are so many good folks carraying on they always have been. Just good wholesome people. I look forward to bringing my dad there to give him a gift. I wish you all a wonderful day!

    I am subscribed. Im ground up restoring a 1970 Nova SS, that I inherited, and I enjoy going down memory lane with your videos. I had a 1967 and 1969 Firebird back in early 80s

    This is a beautiful Firebird! Love the color and the engine sounds like it had some performance additions like a cam and intake and carburetor upgrades! I absolutely love that color too because its not the common color for this era i.e black, white or silver. 0:15

    I'm always amazed at the stuff that doesn't work on these cars. I'm probably an outlier but it just drives (pun intended) me crazy when something on my car or truck doesn't work.
    PS
    Thanx for another excellent video. 😀😀

    A 1968 Pontiac Firebird 400 for $32,900 that sits unprotected day and night during the spring, summer, fall, and winter in a parking lot? These cars aren't full restorations as you might think. For that kind of money you would think they would be.

      @@MapleMotorsNickSouthgate, I have to agree with you. This is a bargain. The minor work like; wipers, horn, kick down hook up and a few gages are a small price for a decent driver.
