Dan, Daniel my brother, you're doing a great job! The buyers are getting great projects, the cars are being saved from the crusher and you're making a little cash. Meanwhile, great videos for us to watch! Congrats! Don't worry about the buyers remorse guys.. .. Signed - Your friend, the Cancer guy. 😊
Thanks buddy!
You can’t please everyone Dan. Anybody that is buying your cars that don’t haggle is because they know what they are getting. Just watch all your videos and see exactly what your getting. Just keep being you buddy. Make life easier on yourself. 👍😎✌️
Hello Dan and Danielle, greetings from Australia. My two favourite video channels are D D Speed Shop and Vice Grip Garage. I really look forward to your daily episodes and find them extremely interesting. Although I am 87 years old, I have never had Dan's expertise and I find it difficult to hear that you get negative responses to your work and your comments. Believe me, I am a fan.
Thanks so much for the support!
I feel your pain. I flip cars part time here in Florida, and I get the same 1/2 price offers. I don't even acknowledge them. 16000 for a running camaro? I'm not a camaro guy, and I'll tell you that's darn fair. Yes, it was built in a home garage. Yes, it's not done. Who cares? It's 50 years old! Good for you for knowing your worth.
If the guy that bought the Camaro is going to throw money and turn it into a driver then, right on! Im just happy you saved from the scrap! 😁👍
I hope the fellas video a lot of their trip back home, really interested to see how the cars do!
Consider that most restoration shops charge $90-140 an hour locally, so the 62 C10 I built recently took 700 hours. So if you use $100 an hour I would have to charge a client $70,000 for labor alone. Adding in the parts make it a $100,000 truck to pay someone to build. Also consider it is a Rat Rod, so paint and body work would add considerably more time.
All this to say that this is why most attempt to do project vehicles themselves and you've given them a HUGE head start!
They should be thanking you for the 100 - 200 labor hour head start....aka, $10-20,000 U.S. Dollars Not including the vehicle. ;)
DD Parts Shop, Dan here. hahaha Reg is awesome! Glad everything worked out with the Camaro. Can't wait to see how the Chevelle turns out. Keep up the good work.
Good for you Dan. Can't wait to see the chevelle get built.
There is always some jerk that wants to try get something for nothing !
I sell something and if they want it buy it !
I don’t have the patience to deal with people that act like they want to buy something but want to pick it apart and try to lower the price!
Keep up the great work at DDSS! I am still waiting to see the A Model hotrod!
72° F is like cool for us. In fact a cold front moving through is when it's 95 F this time of year.😊
Priced to sell.
I can’t tell you how happy Market Place makes me.
Karma, I’m a firm believer
@@Hootman865 yeah to a sucker.
All good news on the Camaro sale. Chevelle time. Can’t wait for the fun to begin. Cheers!! 😊
Dan buying an autoparts store is like an alcoholic buying a bar. It is never a good idea.
Reg is a hoot!
Makes me miss my auto.parts guy from the '70s. His shop was packed floor to ceiling, no semblance of order, but Jeff KNEW where everything was!
I'm looking forward to watching you put that chevelle together.
It's gunns be a job haha
In all my years i have never seen a used car lot keep a car for anyone without a deposit and i have seen the policy change so that if you later change your mind you don’t get your full deposit back. Good video!
Car does look good for sure. I great project for a kid to learn and finish and be proud of. I did it myself, 40 years ago. 1970 Camaro.
I still like seeing how the sales go, or dont go in this case haha. Glad to see things still worked out with a new buyer. I still find these videos interesting as well.
Dan's building big model cars.. To drive.. 😊
Haha
It is bad when someone gets all excited then all of the sudden they don't want it.
On the bright side you didn't have to set on it very long.
I'm sure that the guy that did buy it will be very happy with it.
Those of us that watch all of your videos know all of the work that went into that car.
Love the videos guys
If I'm correct $16K Ca is like $12K US, which is reasonable, VERY reasonable when you consider the work already done. It runs even, it's a bargain! They are just NOT to be found affordable, especially not in that condition. You nailed it, restored and unaffordable, or affordable and a roach. If I had cash I'd buy from you in a heartbeat. Shipping is KILLER now! Years ago I only bought high plains cars, having a regular shipper was $800-1200 to Maryland. Now? You cannot even afford to ship project cars, the shipping is as much as the car. Access, you have that now, your weather sucks, but you have cars that cannot be found. ALWAYS demand a non-refundable deposit! Snooze you lose.
Yeah I try to b fair
It's Amazing that camero was sitting in a field n now it's driving
Dan people be like crazy Dude you can't even find a rusted out hull of a Camaro for that price down here forget about a running one I think it's like 14.000 US come on people let me see what your building and then we can talk in the mean time Dan you keep on going as you are ! Thanks for sharing
Well who ever buys the camaro is getting a good head start, these people want a running and driving car plan on paying a lot more, this is a excellent project car.
@jeffmoran5973 only need to redo the fire wall floor pans and body to get the rust out. Better off to dip the whole body than rebuild a rust bucket in 3 years. But it looks really cool right now.
@erichuff2538 not afraid of a lot of hard work.
The highs and lows of Hot Rodding! Glad to see it all worked out in the end. It really says a lot abput you guys that you subtracted the deposit gain off of the relisted price. You are good folks and glad to see the good karma come back! Reg is pretty priceless too. Keep up the great work!
The early bird got the worm, but the second mouse got the cheese.
Somebody got a hell of a deal
16k CAD is cheap af.
Enjoy hearing your selling stories.
Just looking through the old marketplace there's a 67 totally rusted out 10 grand.. your pricing was right on the money man
Thanks for sharing this video with us
Yes Sir!!!
The market for classics is much smaller than a lot of people realize. The guys that know what they're get getting, typically figure that they could have done wll your work themselves and the guys that can afford your car/work , dont typically understand the amount of work that youve out into it. So trying to find the person in the middle who has the appropriate cash and knows what they are getting, can be like pulling teeth sometimes
We saw your efforts and we are in full support of your hard work!!!!
That’s a good idea, a DD walker auto part’s store’s, nice m that has a good ring to it ,,, thanks BigAl California
Dani! Did I ever mention you're adorable!?!lol. Love the work, effort and videos. You two are my favorite on you tube. Monty from Roanoke Va. USA
Dan, everyone has a bad day once in a while , I have been watching you for a while now , and you do a great job, and hide nothing
The only thing that sucks is. America will Canadians come across the border to get cars or whatever, but when America's they to come across into Canada. It's 10 times harder for us.
@@dewaynesloan7133 really? Didn’t know that. Wonder why? Is it a state thing?
Here we go again 👍👍
Good job!
Excellent point thanks Dan for this specific video.
I admire the way you buy and sell.
Up front, square dealing minimal haggle and take it or leave it.
You and Dani rock.
Next!
95° here in Boston today and insane humidity on the coast.
Hot
How hot in Canada today?
Hey guys my t-shirt turned up today 😊so stoked love it and ...a dd speed shop sticker orsome love you guys Greg from NZ
❤❤ love your videos awesome content😊
Pittsburgh Pa here, rust belt for sure. Everything rusts out do death...
Still great content. I am excited for your new shop. Unfortunately 2 months ago, while putting the metal on the roof of my new shop, fell 14 ft. Spent a couple of weeks in the hospital and rehab. I was able to get back on the roof yesterday.
Finally you got the Camaro sold again. I hope everything goes well with the Chevelle. Keep up the great work.
Guy next door saw a nice old Mustang for a good price and offered the seller a couple thousand less. Seller got angry and told him to get lost- wouldn't sell him the car even at the asking price. Telling me this, the guy was still mystified- "You always offer less, right?" No, Bozo. Some sellers hate haggling and will price reasonably to avoid it. Offering less just insults them.
People's Word just ain't worth the breath, glad you kept the deposit, 😂 all the work you put into it, 😢 it's sad people think they deserve everything done and doing a great job, thanks for sharing, all the best to yous and your loved ones
Great job Dan! If they want it then they will pay your price! Keep up the great work
Thanks for another , Brother !
I love you guy's videos down to earth. You giving people good deals for sure and by the way she needs to help more lol 😊
Ive bought and sold so many cars houses and knickknacks over the years and one very important lesson stood out. Not all but most buyers are liars. After I accepted that the painful lies were less a thing. just a part of doing business you’re a good person so don’t let them bother you
Good times 🎉 the build videos are my favorite but interesting to see the sales in action as well. Let’s you know what to expect 🎉
Selling is the worst. Over the years I've gotten so frustrated a couple of times I've told guys who were trying lowball me sorry you can't have the car at full asking price.
The old adage, "You snooze , you lose " is very true today when trying to buy a classic vehicle. Listening to the way you are handling deals you couldn't be doing it any better. Money takls and BS walks.
"I think that's Wuhan you smell there"...That was hilarious!
Real happy everything worked out for you guys thanks for the videos
Did I detect a look of sellers remorse when the 57 rolled back in the driveway? 😂
I cool to c husband and wife working together, always watching ❤
right on mate, sad to see a guy flacked , reg is awesome for parts
Everyone wants to get the best price they can when they sell something. I'm the same way. On the flip side, I like to buy things as cheaply as I can, doesn't always work out that way but it is what it is. I have a 71 Dodge Demon and really really nice parts are hard to come by and usually expensive. I've been needing a few parts and always look on marketplace and the Facebook groups I'm in. Well last Monday, low and behold, some really nice fenders popped up and the price was reasonable. One catch, he's 850 miles away. So while I'm thinking about the fenders another post comes up where he has a deck lid for sale. Again, another part I really need. So now it's like, what it would cost me to have a body shop straighten out these pieces I could buy from this guy and the cost to drive there and back might be a wash. Well low and behold he had a valance for sale as well....sign me up lol. I made the deal with him that he holds the parts and I will show up. So Thursday I load the wife and the dog in the truck and head to Colorado from Arizona. I drove straight through and got to his house about 8pm Thursday evening. We talk for a bit and I ask if he had a some wiggle room on the price (since I just drove 12hrs to save him the trouble of dealing with tire kickers) and he did...a whole $25 off. 😶...I thought he'd be a little more generous with the wiggle but hey, these are parts I really needed and I figured I make the trip a 3 day vacation so what the heck...I'm still ahead of the game.
God continues to bless you brother. Happy to see it happen.
Good on you for keeping the deposit.
Well Said Dan The first Buyer Didn’t sound like a Car guy and Reg looks like a helpful guy
Dan you Are a hell of a man I love watching your channel I also agree with the way you do business keep up the great work
Well worth what your asking. Wish I was closer
That guy will be kicking himself for years over this.
Part’s for the Chevelle “used to be my savings account” 😂
Another great video and I hope the guys who back out on the 68 Camaro realized he let a good car go . You sir are a very honest car builder and there are videos to show what has been done and what has been done” hacked” . 16000 Canadian is what in US dollars ? Still a great base for a great price. Sure like watching you and the garage goddess in action
bit over 12 grand,a steal anywere.............
SERIOUSLY!!!!
All they had to do, was watch the frickin' videos!
your time spent fixing the camaro is more than the 16k without the parts, hopefully his daddy choses his next project. great video!
Dan you hack 😁 you're killing it brother.
Keep up the good work, love the channel.👌👍🤘🔥🔥🔥🔥
I never have my subtitles on, but for some reason I did during this video, and when you started the Camaro up it transcribed the motor sound as MUSIC...
Dan hit the rusting out thing on the east coast om the head. My father bought a brand new f100 pick up the year I was born(1[972) I remember bybthe time I was 8 years old the cab corners where completely gone not to mention the wheel wells and the bottom of the doors up.to 2 feet; totally rotten I li e in NYC now. We lived in lo v Island.
I hear you Dan, dealing withsome people and their issues that they expected to become yours is rediculace. I don't generaly sell stuff but am moving house so stuff has to go. I am now concedering taking it to the scrap yard instead so I don't have to deal with them. A guy low balled me on an item and I was then tempted to add the price diffrance ontop of my original asking price as a responce to his insulting low offer of half price. Just to also say a nother guy came and was more than happy to pay my asking price and took it on the spot. Thats the good and bad side of selling stuff.
Good afternoon from Cape Cod ⚓ 91 ° and 97 percent humidity here today, you're complaining about 72 😂 don't worry I'm complaining 😂 I thought I was going to freaking melt. Anyway I hate people that waste your time, but it all turned out well cuz the Camaro is sold. I'm looking forward to the Chevelle. Thanks for another great video guys ✌️🇺🇲🇨🇦
The nomads and the 57 hardtop best cars you have or had keep up the good work still think you should save the mopars
Rant Dan we luv ya luv the channel.
Correct, Correct and Correct ...on the deal and treating the cituation been like this for years in my buying and selling
Back when I used to sell things on Craigslist (American Kijiji, essentially) I'd price it to move. State that I know it's work $xxx, price it at like 20% below that and say "price is firm, no trades." And I'd always get people wanting to trade a broken down snowmobile and a 12 pack of Bud Light ot something. I feel what you're saying 100%.
I'm curious about the make and stamping quality of the new Chevelle panels as maybe a guide for an upcoming '68 project.
Every car in the junkyard has potential
GOOD JOB !
72f and it’s hot !!!! LoL, I get it. Was 114 now it’s 94 and feels fantastic where I’m at in California.
Looking forward to some Chevelle build… 72 is favourite but honestly any 70-72 2 door will do!
If you have has any military service,, at least here they all have a GI bill grant and if you all have that and have been in could get the auto parts store, that could be your new beginning, and become the next vintage car parts place, thanks BigAl California.
Now you hurt my feel bads, only listing in the Great White North, LOL! Just joking, continue on young man, you’re doing great! 72 degrees? It’s 95 down here with 92% humidity, get you some of that!😅
Thanks buddy!
Extremely fair Dan quit doubting your decision on the price obviously low.
Dan the floor pan man so the only thing that will be original on the chevelle is the roof skin. Awesome it will be just like a brand new dyno cone body.
Good you sort your stuff Out, Takes Weight Off the Heart plus bring's ccash in.
Congrats!
And you got 2 55 Nomads, bro🎉😂
Plus yeah, a Chevelle is a way nicer Driver than a Camaro Pony Car....thö i'd Prefer a 1st Gen Monte Carlo
Hey Dan and Danielle, I'm so bummed, I could have bought that Camaro for $11,703 in USA dollars. What a deal this guy is getting. Dan, you should have asked for a lot more. That Camaro is all metal. Congratulations to the buyer. Like hitting a jackpot. Love your channel, Danielle your happy helper, all your builds and cars, and all your videos. Take care and be safe.
P.S. Danielle, I need your email so you can relay a message to Dan.
Hope your carma stays good.
can't wait for the next Camaro build
Your commenters are a trip !
The production staff is top notch.
The catering crew is a little off the mark !
😂
16k CAD is 12864 USD
Pretty darn fair for a camar-slo
The guy wheeling and dealing and at the last minute offered you full price. I would be willing to bet he's a flipper. He wanted to flip it and make money. If he truly wanted it for himself he would have complained about the car everyday and you would have been the bad guy. Never deal with those guys
I have been looking for good to build and have fun with car. I couldn't get to some of the best buys. I just got a 1972 Buick Skylark 2 door survivor. Great run driver with very litte rust. The guy I bought it from was great I just gave him what he was asking. It has a new gas tank brand new 2.5" dual.
only thing that is not in working order is the AC but it all there. I drove 50 miles home up to 80 mph. I'm 58 and have been working on cars since I was 13. my first car was a 1970 AMC Javin Mark Donahue I got for free. I restored a 1973 Z28 in 1982. l love the work your doing I cannot for your next video.
Dan saving cars one weld at a time !
We have all Drank the DD SPEEDSHOP Kool aid. That's why we keep watching 😅
Funny here in san jose ca my 21 year old rolla has zero rust original exhaust, but NJ 10 years they were holes and 6 exhausts or more later. rust free is cool.
