    Looks great in the videos but driving one of 'em stingrays in reallife is just pure emotion.The way you push this monstrous engine hood infront of you is just menacing. Have a '75 corvette and its a real rarity here in germany. Keep it up Nick

    Check the large knob below the steering wheel. It's purpose is to stop the wiper arms. I've been fooled by that several times. It is flanked by a vacuum switch to open the headlight doors and another to open the wiper door. Nice to see regular small block C3s finally raising in value. This one seems to be a really nice basically stock car.

      The underside is so clean! I don't know if they put it in the pressure washer first or what but I didn't see any oil drops in a nice exhaust with the H pipe! Next pipes are nice and all but they just sounds so... Millenial.

    I keep seeing people complain about your pricing and it just shows that they know nothing about the cars or what they are really worth. It just shows that they want something for nothing. You guys are ALWAYS open and honest with every single car you sell and that is a fact! In all the years I've been watching Maple Motors I can honestly say I seen 1 car that was on the edge of being pricey, but there was a reason for it too! It was a down right beautiful car! People, theres a reason these fine folks have been in business for so many years!! They're honest and open about everything they sell! I mean come on people!!

Life has been kicking my ass and since my tractor trailer accident left me totally disabled and trying to survive on disability I just can't afford to buy anything. You guys keep doing exactly what you're doing! There's a reason why you have been in business for so many years!! And it's not because you charge too much for the cars, that's for damn sure.

    Love the content but your cars for the most part are over priced in my opinion…I saw a 72 Vette on Marketplace last week for $20,000, I passed on it due to mechanical issues (a/c compressor is bad and fuel issues)and them not wanting to budge on price

      Most of the time you show up and people hide way more than they show in their adds. We tell you everything we can find. I could easily say its a perfect show car and get you here but I’m not like that. I point everything out I can. Try going to look at a few of those marketplace adds. You will quickly find out how people really are. Most people that buy from us are tired of getting scammed by them adds on marketplace. I hear horror stories every day about that. I mean we have it happen to us too. They can be a huge waist of time but if you have the time you could find a good deal.
