    If you do these videos to show flaws, and someone still complains, they are just that needy, that can’t be fixed. You do an amazing job, and us normal people know that.

    I had one in '80 black on silver with the red decals on the doors saying official pace car . Total chick magnet at the time all the little disco bunnies wanted to take a ride in it. I come out of work one night and it was gone from the parking lot and never seen again. And I had to go back to the 61 Impala super sport convertible as a daily diver because, my 66 GTO was in the shop getting new main bearing she was having oil pressure issues. Thanks for the memory it was a fun ride.

    Nick, my brother, I’ve followed your videos off and on for a couple of years then finally subscribed about a year ago when I started looking for a project car, and this would be a good one, for me and my daughter and grandson. Her son is 13 and needs to disconnect if you know what I mean. My daughter is a car girl and I need to get back to wrenching as rehab for back surgery. I watch a lot of car lot videos and your videos are the Gold Standard by which all others should ascribe to meet. Some lots have very similar formats, but they don’t come across as genuine or honest. You can see the difference in the quality of cars on the lots and the overpricing. Some seem to have decent prices only the vehicle is not worth the price posted. Others have horrible customer service. When you call, you get the third degree, not that rosy dialog from the videos. When I have called Maple Motors, I have been treated respectfully and with the attention required for the questions I asked. I have no reason to believe that you or your family business of 40+ years is operating a scam or defrauding operation. As an Air Force Veteran and Mustang with over 20+ years service I have met all kinds of people from all over the world and have a good eye/ear for a person that is misrepresenting themselves. You my friend are the real deal. I sense a walk with Christ and I believe that drives your business ethos. As a Christian I can usually see Christ in others and feel like you are a believer. I hope so. Keep up the outstanding videos and keep honing God’s gift of a beautiful voice. God bless you and your family. 🇺🇸✝️🫡 (Sorry, my dissertation wasn’t this long! lol)

    You Run a very fare Business! If someone buys a Classic off of anybody it is what it is! There is Never a service plane with a Classic car off of a individual seller! And in Most cases off of any dealership,you take time to make excellent videos and show way more to any one person than they would find on there own! You even take the time to show the under half of the vehicle as well some people just need something to complain about there never happy! please keep up the excellent Business and I can almost bet at some point I'll be buying a car or two off of you as well

That's why I'm here, and yes, Lord willing, I'm coming up there to purchase a classic car. I'm still saving. God bless the Maple Motor's Family.

    Corvette pricing is so odd, you can find C3's, C4's and early C5's all similarly priced and from 1972 - 1992 they were pure ass unless someone plucked out the boat anchor and reworked it.

      Make sure you get the AAA with the 4 tows per year!! Went to a show with my 80 Trans Am and the brake cylinder locked up. Had it towed home. Next show I took my 78 Corvette and the fan belt broke right as I was getting to the show. Could have fixed that there but had it towed home. Two tows in two weeks!

    The power windows on the 1970’s decade of Corvettes are a mixed bag of crazy. An electrical / trim auto mechanic can put the windows into the frames and replace the rubberized track parts that keep mud dirt and things not good out of the window tracks.
