A certified auto appraiser has inspected hundreds of classic cars professionally — so when he calls a 1967 Camaro RS/SS ‘the most loaded Camaro I’ve ever inspected,’ that is not a casual compliment. This California-history coupe pairs a rare factory color with an unusually complete options list, backed by a full third-party inspection report. Watch to find out exactly what convinced an expert this was something special.

An estate sale, a numbers-matching V8 sitting on a stand in a garage, and a certified appraiser willing to put a hard number on all of it — that’s the setup behind this 1968 Buick GS 400 out of Port Huron, Michigan. AutoAppraise’s Jason Phillips values the car at $35,000 after tallying over $20,000 in documented drivetrain work alone, but it’s the low, bellowing idle that keeps pulling viewers back years later. Is a scarce, correctly-matched GS400 actually the smartest buy in 1968 muscle?
This numbers-matching 1971 Pontiac GTO H.O. shares its 455 cubic-inch engine and M-22 ‘Rock Crusher’ four-speed with the flashier GTO Judge — but with only 476 H.O.s ever built, it’s arguably the rarer car. The same owner has had it since 1977, and a certified appraiser recently verified its drivetrain against factory PHS documentation before taking it to 100 mph. Watch to find out why the quiet sibling of the Judge might be the smarter buy.
A numbers-matching 1969 Dodge Charger Daytona doesn’t change hands without scrutiny — not when fakes and clones have circulated in the market for decades. A Michigan-based certified appraiser spent hours verifying this R4 Red example’s engine block, transmission tag, and core support before pronouncing it the real thing. Then he drove it. Watch the full inspection to see exactly what separates a genuine Daytona from an expensive guess.
