1970 Chevelle SS396 Found Hiding in a Cincinnati, OH Basement Over 30 Years!!! 

Cool information 👍🏻

Because every quarter glass had to be adjusted due to wind noise. Rear seat r&i time before trim panel r&I time and the warranty claim builds. Had to prove you were in there so they had the little rip off strips and as stated, no tag, no pay! GM didn't invest in the time, material and labor for those tags for nothing.

​@@J.C._2223Very cool information!

The whole car should goto the scrap pile.

even tho red paint and white vinyl aint my favorite colors, Id put this car back original just because its not common and would be, and I like the term "loud" colors. my 70 is dark green with white stripes, the oe interior was green but someone changed it to black several years prior to me getting the car.

@@MrChevelle83 Nice! My current ‘70 in Green/Green combo. Love ‘em all!

That's the car that started it all for me too! My brother in law when first dating my sister in 76 had a 70 cranberry red , white interior / top bench seat 4 speed small block car with a pumped up 327! I would give a testicle to find that car now if it survived! Loved that car!

I noticed muscle cars are still plentiful. But most of them are parked rotting away in old people's property. Every time I drive out to the Texas countryside I see them out there with grass growing on them or in the desert. Even getting a hand on the shell would be cool. They probably have an emotional attachment to the car that they won't give it up

@@javiergarza8626 yes and even patrick has covered a couple of them rotting away and the owners are talking about fixing them for the last 30 years. If I knew I couldnt maintain my 70 id definitely sell it to someone that could take care of it vs leaving it to rot. ive seen this happen to several classics.

now that would be awesome!

They pay him to come in and authenticate these cars...so he goes all over the country. So unless they are close by or they make the video and send it to him its not likely to happen.

@@cuzz63 yeah, it was just a thought.

as long as the stamps are not altered or fakes theres basically no way to dispute his endorsement, and yes you could take a non ss car and get it real close but to stamp every component just right and age the components properly would be near impossible, so unless the car was fabricated 40 years ago to avoid the age problem you still would indeed have a true ss. and if 1 rivet was off or one thing not just right like the door for example patrick would definitely catch it.

His endorsement holds as much water as a bowl made of toilet paper.

@@pissoff234 the fact that your here being stupid without proof means you're just envious.😒😁😂

I bought an all original all numbers matching orig. engine Arlington built 3rd week of May 1970 SS 396 L-34 Cranberry Red bucket seat cowl induction with A/C car in 2001 that had been stored in a barn since the early eighties super nice nearly rust free with shiny paint after a good buffing NO body panels needing replaced still unrestored today and we have yet to find the build sheet for this car. The original Dealership sales invoice was found in the glove box however, showing price and options ordered by the 1st owner. Would love to know what happened to that build sheet. Heard this is common for Arlington built cars .

Makes me believe that this Chevelle will not get finished. Owner should save all of those original bits for when the car gets moved on to another owner.

Lol.. judgy much. Difference from someone that works on cars to a guy that sits on his couch critiquing lol

@PickardvilleSRT8 see you're out there working.. NOT! I've restored 6 cars in my garage . I've worked as a mechanic for 35 years. If this is a buisness then it's a pig pen. Organized and clean is efficient.... but I'm sure you already knew that!! 🤭

And one more car

yes they made the body and interior perfect but the brakes and suspension from the factory are definitely sub par. I replaced the entire suspension on my 70 and threw all the gm crap in the scrap pile. now it drives amazing and much safer on the road too!!

@@MrChevelle83 listen i understand. But im sorry the whole point of keeping these chevys and fords and pontiacs 100% OG is the experience. Being able to go back in time. And they’ll make you a better driver. The car doesnt do it for you like now. And you want better brakes etc?? Buy a NEW challenger or mustang or camaro. Or drive a cadillac.

@@New_Jax_City nothing for you to be sorry about, but ive been owning and driving classic cars for the last 25 years I disagree with keeping crappy suspension and brakes, its way more fun to drive a car with good brakes and suspension. My car was a death trap when I got it. Now that its been upgraded and with a tremec tkx 5 speed over that crappy weak 4 speed its more fun to drive now than its ever been in my 20yrs of ownership. My brother has an all original 66 chevy ll we scrapped them factory terrible drums and went to 4 wheel disk and it made the car WAY better and now that you can stop with confidence its much more enjoyble.
