Who wants to listen to the radio, with an engine that nice.
Car didn’t last a week on the lot

That's one sweet ass ride, one of my friends had a Cornett it was the same color and had a set of cragar wheels .
Ohh but it was a four speed car" with a lot of power!!’'’''’
I'm 61 and I remember the streets being filled with beautiful cars like the ones on your lot.
And these days, the streets are filled with crap cars with no style, just a bunch of egg shaped pieces of junk. I miss the good ol days.
@@paxhumana2015 Elitism? Funny. I am a Mopar man all my life, and I'd have to say the Challenger is an exception. But the new school charger with 4 doors? Nah, they could have made it better. The rear tunnel window is missing. I hope they come out with a new Charger design though. And base it off the '68.
My cousin is 60 (8 years my senior) he had a 1967 Camaro 454 c.i., for the longest time. He sold it a couple years a go - because he couldn't store it at his work any longer.
I think he wants mine. Suburban 454..... Now he's driving junk cars carolla and Hyundai, and a 4X4 Takoma P/u
@bear bones if your into electric cars and bicycles you done took the wrong turn at the recommended for you intersection. Good to have you here to see real American steel and muscle
I’m your age, I miss my 70 Charger. I remember 22$ speeding fines and riding all night with less than 10$ worth
of gas.
Who knows what it's like in person but it looks gorgeous in the video. It's refreshing to see someone asking reasonable prices and not just putting 50k on the window. My first car was a 1969 coronet 440, it also had a 318 in it and I loved it. I'm current looking for one to build with my daughter, wish I would've seen this right away. Great car, great video!
Whoever has bought this beauty is one lucky SOB and had gotten a truly amazing deal!.
My parents had a 1968 Dodge Coronet back in the late seventies when I was a little kid. I remember riding around in it. I loved that car. Brings back some good memories.
I'm working on my 1969 Dodge Charger R/T as I watch this video. Finally some Mopars Nick
B Carpenter You sir have the holy grail!
@@joegrijalva1516 HAHA thanks. I've owned it since 84
Hey,I just saw your channel. I'm also building a 78 Trans Am se Y82 W72
B Carpenter what!!!
Bulk & Power of the 60's
Personally, i am a chevy man. However..... that is one sick mopar!!!
Thanks
Mopar or no car
I couldn’t agree with you more…it is super nice…”for a mopar” 😏
I love the cars you guys are putting out there.. Cars that are great cars, yet still affordable.. I personally dont care if the NUMBERS all match...or if its the STOCK motor..or any of that.. I just love the look of an old muscle car, and you guys are making that possible for people by doing what you do.. for great prices!
Thanks
@Jeshua James YOU got that right.
I’d rather buy that for 20 grand than a brand new car now
franky baez yeah half the price and twice the fun
Also these cars are helluva lot sexier than modern ones
Darren Robinson 1.work your ass off 2.simply don’t crash
@ Oh no and beer hurts your liver and smoking gives your lungs a booboo, grow a pair
@ you mean the plastic trash they sell today 🤣
Best shade of red ever.
Great color
Looks like 'Candy Brandy Wine' red.Sure is a nice car&colour .
Nothing screams louder than this car, saying "Yeah I'm here"
In 1978 I bought my Uncles Dodge Coronet 440, Automatic transmission with a 318 motor. Very nice car.....wish I still had it.... Dang!!!
Never was a huge fan of the Coronet until now. This thing is a beauty!
ua-cam.com/video/j-aAchle3T0/v-deo.html
Oh my , she's a beauty for sure, I remember some shirts I use to see a Ubly dragway when I was young. They said " Gas is OK, but I'd rather be blown", with whatever blown Chevy, Dodge, or Ford motor on it, great video man🇺🇲🇺🇲
Should be a 440 in there!!! But sounds good for 318👍🏼
My uncle 67 has the 440 😁
Yep, easily make that & more with a good 440 + cube big block
@Jim Watson I'm probably saying this & you already are aware but those rv 440s are good for stroker motors but dogs in stock form and have a short shaft trans.
Look for a 4 door chrysler new Yorker, imperial, there's lots of cars that are cheap with 440s atleast any 440 after 73. Just in case ya didn't know the best 440 blocks for strokers are 76 & up. Bigger main webs. But if you're gonna do a stroker the 400 block is the best up to 72-74 630 casting because it has massive beef, nothing like the 230 casting but can handle 600 up easy with stock main caps. Very reliable in 451 471 cubes
@Jim Watson no problem
Wouldn't be at that price w a 440 but still a beautiful ride
I was a new car and used detail person for the Chrysler dealer in my hometown when I was around 19 or 20 years old . I luckily drove GTX Road Runner Challengers etc during the time . I am 69 today . Those were the best days of my life. Unfortunately I never owned a hot nice one of them cars. I drove a superbird before the person who bought it brand new after I got it ready for delivery. Wish I had one of those cars made back then by Mopar.
I remember - - days when cars like that were around. Had a friend with Beautiful Roadrunner convertible. Painted in TCU purple "fade", then Clear-coated with Mother of pearl. Mopar ruled the Muscle Car world back then. Nothing in the world can equal the sweet sound of a hemi. The only thing I heard that was as sweet was a Ford flathead V8 on straight pipes. Saweet!
My brother had A Super Bee, and traded it in for a new '70 Ford Cobra-Jet Torino. Had a horizontal tach in the dash. Fast, but not as fast as the Super Bee🐝. Yep. Those were the days.
I think it's very cool you point out the good AND bad. Honest and fair. Means alot to me for sure.
Thank you
That sold for 20k? That? I'm coming to Tennessee to see y'all later this year. Road trip...
Literally like your own personal Car show and get to drive all these whenever u want is a dream I've always wanted
That color is freaking gorgeous, overall fantastic car
My best friends family car was a '68 Dodge Coronet R/T hardtop in that B-5 blue! Great car! Don't see as many of these as chargers - They weren't as popular, but that's what makes it special! Glad I caught your first post of the year and wish you and Maple Motors all the best in 2020! Thanks, Nick!😎
Thank you
oh GOD is that a thing of beauty....Dodge just so rules this world in terms of muscle cars..
I love this video! We have 1966 Coronet 4D sedan. 273 with 904 which my brother rebuilt this winter. Body needs some work still... Can't wait to do some crusin' on light summer nights in Finland!!
Cars had such nice style back in the `50s and `60s, I admire the guys who have collections of them, to me, that`s a great way to enjoy your money ! :-)
Reminds me of my 68 bumble bee 🐝 I use to have back in the day but mine didn’t have a blower popping out of the hood it sure bringing back memories. Nice Cornett
9:32 Before they had cell phones, this is how you would let your girlfriend know that you're in front of her house and you're waiting for her. You'd stop in front and rev the engine.
Or boyfriend.
Let's not be so insensitive now. 😑
Lol I’m from the soul too and that’s how it was 😹
Does "Main Drag" America exist anymore? Any old enough to remember this great American pastime?
@@elflaco658 1969-1973, we would drive 15 miles to a San Leandro where the Muscle Cars/Hot Rods would drive around a designated 1 mile area. A few years later, Police began patrolling and issuing citations if you drove through the same area more than twice in an hour. That shut down what we called "Cruising the Strip"
SanFranciscoBay But why?! Leave them boys alone
That started easier than any of my TBI pickups I've owned, to hell with injection., Beautiful coronet, that color is incredible.
Dude, your test drive videos just get better and better!
I really like this car, too.
Thank you
Thats a sharp ride. Im 61 now and blowers aren't in my blood now. I am looking for a Coronet though in near future. Beautiful video. Thank you
Thank you
Just two words. (BEAUTIFUL CAR).
Beautiful car. Had x2 ~68's one 500" w/8:71 (so much fun, ran in e85) & 383 magnum in the other. Wish I'd never let them go, only have a 71 Charger 500 w/400 auto on floor now.
I'd definitely buy a car from these people. Really nice to see an honest review and decent prices. God bless.
You are only 2 hours from my in-laws. I'm thinking I'm going to have to come see your dealership next time I'm out there.
Love that Coronet! Smiles per gallon, all day long
I love the old US V 8 cars. Greetings from Berlin Germany
Wow, memory flashes starting. Parents first new car 58 Fairlane 500 w/390. 2 door. Mom said that was the only car she could blow the doors off another car with. Next, 62 Galaxy 500 again 390 2door. The dash in this car is almost exactly like the 68 4door satellite. 318 4barrel. Even stock it was a beast. Of course things started to go downhill after that. 72 fury 3 2door with a 400 2 barrel.74 Dodge dart 225 slant 6. Then the D100 prospector truck, umph 318 4barrel.
Absolutely gorgeous car :O
Thanks
@@MapleMotorsNickSouthgate not that familiar with your location, how far from Chattanooga are you. I want to come by and slobber on just a few of your cars. Lol
I'm in Birmingham.
68 Coronet/Roadrunner definitely sits near the top in my pantheon of dream cars. What gorgeous lines and stance
Know an old man that has an unrestored, mint condition, Superbird. Less than 2k miles on it. Original tires still mounted on factory wheels, stored on s shelf. He has it stored on his property in a dry location. He threatened me with my life if I disclosed its location. I really believe him, Vietnam vet that had a LOT of flashbacks.
A badass car with a nonstop steering review. Awesome!!!!!!
I am old enough to remember when cars looked different and had personalities,Back in the late 60's we used to have a contest going down the road to see who could identify oncoming cars first.Chevelles,camaros,olds,superB's,Roadrunners,Cougars,Chargers,,those were the days
I had a '69 with a built 383 pushing over 400hp. I started life as a CA Highway Patrol Interceptor car.
Glad your back man badass ride!
Thank you
Great to have your videos back, I missed them over the holidays! Hope you and everyone there with you had a great Christmas and new year
Thanks for watching
It looks like that car alone without the blower would cost 22k.
Now that's a really nice car! I don't think you're asking enough for her thanks Nick.
Thank you
What a beautiful looking machine. I love the Coronets. My 2nd car was a 66 dark blue . My girlfriend at the time stained the bench seat. LOL
I’m over the moon that you have made this video. What a Beast.
Thanks for watching
Maple Motors Muscle Cars Nick Southgate I never miss a video
Awesome Muscle Car for a Awesome Price👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
Really nice…it’s strange I live in South Carolina and there’s a car identical to that one here in Gaffney on Pleasant School Rd…I’ve talked to the man who owns it and that car sounded good and ran good…if I would ever buy a Chrysler product I’d go talk to him about his…great looking car…
That's a panty dropper if ever saw one! Blacked out windows for road head, nice.....
The true reason for owning a car like this and money well spent.
recession proof investment - also - the road head is the dividend on this investment
None of you ever got and never will get road head
@@rickytrevino8281 spot on
And there's enough room in the back seat for a set of triplets.
I would have to go with 3.55 gears in the rear for all around street/highway, 3.91:1 or for strip for a 318. 318's are a tough engine and if this is one of the early ones plus the blower, this is what dreams are made of. I had a 70 Duster with a 318 and it came with 3.91's in it, had lots of fun on street and strip back in the 70's. :)
Stopping at every gas station in sight lol.
So Im guessing that means you will not be buying this car? Im sure the car is disappointed.
@@DesertStateInEU If it had a 426ci or a 572ci I'd be all over it.
@@supergrendel You dont mind stopping at gas stations after all?
All the more opportunities to have discussions with people who love the car 😉
Hi Nick, when the horns don't work, say this...."just gonna pour a little soup on the steering wheel to clean the contacts"....you rock!
Lol nice hot soup
@@MapleMotorsNickSouthgate yeah baby
That beauty. I have to start saving money. I want one of those beauties. beautiful....
Booted cold starts like this were the best. Please Nick make more
Love that color!!!
Sure I'm a Mopar born and raised kid I'm not a kid anymore but pops is retired Mopar Tech so is Grand Pappy I tell you what I just want that ass cornet I just watched that video yeah when I get financially sound again I will definitely come and see you you got a nice array of vehicles there sir thank you for your videos I can certainly appreciate it
The reason it has no lower end is probably it has 323 gears a stock converter and the motor is probably set up for 3000 RPM until 6000 RPM
Prolly has 2.76 gears.....that was common gearing for the 318 auto on the tree.
A set of 3:73's would be a good street/strip setup.
I used to live on cranwill drive. It was nice to see you drive by it.
It's set up for late night interstate pulls, not drag racing.
Beautiful color & model cars with Character 🔥🔥🔥
So this is a dealership that sells beautiful classics?😛
You don't need the radio faceplate. The whine of that 6-71, and flow masters is all the music you need!!! Beautiful car!!!
Thats one nice paint job. A 318. Makes it drivable. Imagining a grandson said to his grandma.grandma we fixed ur old car up for ya. And she got so upset she sold it.lol
Just Subscribed.....Been watching awhile.....You keep it Legit on the cars.
Wowza serious eye candy !
And that's about it with that 318.
I learned to drive in one of these ! in the 70's
Happy 2020 Nick & Maple crew!! Love this one to pieces just would have LOVED to hear some rubber or punched out on the top end. Being a self proclaimed MAPLE HEAD.... lol.... I need BURNOUTS and Where's my Shirts?
.
I wish this car would be on your lot again. Id snatch it up in a heartbeat.
That’s a lot of car for 22.
That's what I'm saying
Fr killer price!
Shit I would trade in my truck and my car for that
Thinking the same thing. I am shocked its only $22k
Plus interest tho if your shit not good up to 7-18% lol
1968 coronet 500 was my first muscle car
According to the Alternator gauge, it is discharging.
We figured that out , had an alternator put on the car. Good eye tho for just watching a video. Thanks
@@MapleMotorsNickSouthgate It's a beautiful car, good luck with the sale.
Damn...walking on that lot would be better than most car shows..
You didn’t do the cold start right, you need to put the camera behind the car so we can hear them pipes. But it’s badass car
I have a 69 satellite and did a 318 to 440 swap. Best thing i ever did and most challenging.
Damn thats serious!
Steady B Serious
I cant believe ive been looking forward to watching a test drive
I want the scrambler! ❤
And I'm a Toyota 4x4 man!
I noticed that sweet Scrambler too!😎
@@markhamrick9078 my buddy has one just like it but he cut it all up for crawling.
That Scrambler is sweet
@@Shornandkenny A lot of those were stripped down for crawling and mudding. We had a nicely restored red one in the neighborhood. Don't see to many anymore except maybe Mecum or Barrett - Jackson!😎
I have a 84 Scrambler I'm going to restore.
I’m a mopar guy through and through , I love that 68 Coronet I would definantly come down and buy that car from ya been watching the vlog since ya started you’ve gotten allot of great vehicles weather it be a fixer upper or a full done truck or car you’ve definantly had some nice rides !! 🇺🇸😎👍🏻
Thank you
Look at that beauty!
Thank you
Wow I'm in love with that machine.. Great video, greetings from Zimbabwe 🇿🇼
What monster 😍
What a beauty! My parents owned a 69 sport satellite that had a 318. Looked like a roadrunner on the front and rear. had plenty of power. My mother would say she could beat almost anything off the line in it.
Tinted windus! 2:28😂🤣 I love it!
I swear I said the same thing. But I love the guy 😂
😂
Well I have to subscribe and keep an eye on this place. I appreciate that you guys sell these cars for a reasonable price. I've watched a few of these so far and I can't help but agree with the asking price.
Who would waste time putting a blower on a 318, I guess if you had a lot of left over parts lying around that you could bolt together and it ran maybe..
I dunno, watch the original Mad Max and it will make more sense...
@@pdiz YOU are CORRECT !!!!!
Exactly! Seems pretty weak too.
Indy ran 318 and won a race. When chevys crashed out, developed 700 horsepower with fuel injection only
I'm a dodge guy and this is very presentable. Somebody spent some time here. Hope it doesn't get passed around.
Nice car man 👍
Amazing sound at cold start! I’ve missed these! Hope you had a good vacation :-)
I been watching y’all for weeks now when I definitely get my money right I’m coming
I had a 68 roadrunner love old mopars
I love this one. I would like it to have a 440.
The generation of today would not believe this: Every time you shifted a heavy duty transmission, you could hear the tire squeals as the car hauled ass down the road.
That back and front seat are drive- in movie approved
Not sure how dude is making money on this one. Got a ton of money in that motor and paint.
This is so cheap. Whoever built it had to have been in a bad spot financially
Probably cheaper to build a small block. My 496 procharger build was over 18 grand
Whomever pick the color gets an A+.....Beautiful color on that car!!
Looks like what used to be called candy apple red
You're right! I forgot about that..
Ship to 🇨🇦????? How much was this worth ????
What a beautiful ride pretty soon I’ll be getting in touch with you guys
ua-cam.com/video/j-aAchle3T0/v-deo.html
Such a hot car and an automatic trans. Whata shame....
An automatic transmission allows your girlfriend to drive it without worrying about what kind of damage she's doing to your car.
@@sanfranciscobay your first mistake was assuming he has a gf with that attitude of his.
@@m_i_g_5108 I have a wife.
That is a Beautiful Ride,I am lucky I found you Guys,Great Vidio"s
