Memories.. I owned a new LS6 70’ Chevelle, blue/white strips, cowl induction, auto that was a beast in it’s day. 13.2 @ 108 mph factory. Minor improvements, turned 11.7 @ 128 mph at Epping. Sadly, the car was stolen, most likely parted out as I own the title. Still my most favorite muscle car, enjoyed watching this classic bring back those great memories.
Nice color bro. . I had two 70Ss Chevelles... one matching number original wht blk stripes 4 spd, and one red white Stripes, t400 410 , etc was non original w mods. Drove them both pretty hard and enjoyed them. Check out this older camcorder video of my red one on street and at the strip ....ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-6JqspXe0lDo.html
Brings back great memories. Bought a tuxedo black automatic in 1979 in Philadelphia. No stripes, no cowl induction, no hood pins. LS6 with a dual quad low rise offy manifold, Center Lines. Eventually added silver hood/deck stripes that, at the time, I though was really cool. Hated the starter thought. When it was hot it hated starting. Keep finding great Chevelles!
Sweet! Glad you posted, I've been wanting to learn more about LS6 Chevelles. I'd be happy with an SS 396 though. I'm partial to the stripes & cowl door on hood, I just might, If not original paint (I assume it isn't) put the white stripes would functional cowl induction hood. Just to drive & show. Put back to original when selling. I can't help it, I watch every Chevelle video I see like I'm hypnotized..😄 Gets my heart pumping seeing a dusty one in a barn or a restored one.. Mecum had a few Tuxedo black version the last few months sell. The kissimmee LS6 Tuxedo black conv. White interior white top hit high bid of 115k. Didn't sell. Others version sold from 60k too 90+k.
Yes agree this is a fine piece. I had two 70Ss Chevelles... one matching number original, and one non original w mods. Drove them both pretty hard and enjoyed them. Check out this older camcorder video of my red one on street and at the strip....ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-6JqspXe0lDo.html
I ended up at a car show in the early 2000's with a Mopar and parked beside an LS6 car. Now whether or not it was the real deal well this Channel could figure that out but I remember the trunk was full of documentation and was basically a low mileage unmolested car. Owner was a hoot and he said 59K would buy it. If it was real that was a steal. Of course that was before these thing really took off on price but I remember joking with him about they will bury him in it before someone pays that lol...
Back in the day my dad bought a new 1968 chevelle yenko with the 427 and 4 speed posi rear it was gray with 2 black stripes of course he sold it back in the 70's it would be worth big money today for sure
Zachary - are you from SWPA too? I know that Yenko cars are sought after by collectors worldwide now - how was it back when your dad bought his Chevelle? Were Yenko cars mostly just bought by people in PA/OH/WV, or did people from all over the country go to Yenko Chevrolet?
@@wes11bravo at the time my dad lived in western PA iam not sure about the other but he originally went in to test drive a corvette he didn't know about the Yanko and the sales man told him to forget the corvette and test drive the yenko chevelle after that he bought it said it was the fastest car around back then I still have the vin number for it I should try to see if it's still around
@@wes11bravo I do know he traded it in around 69 or 70 and went back a couple months later to buy it back and found that it was sold again then traded back in to the same dealership and someone had pulled the 427 and put a 396 in it
Love the standard hood and strip delete on these Chevelles. I'd probably go day two for wheels and tires if I were to drive it and have day ones on the side. Congrats to the new owner on his sweet buy.
The only reason someone would dislike this video would be... they did have a chance to buy the car ;) I’d love to find a 70 mist green 396 manual in good driver condition...
How about a Maroon metalic black stripe original 4 speed car? Currently has a 468 500 hp@5750 and 550 lb ft of torque at 4200.with a 66 M20. But have the matching numers engine and transmission. Along with a build sheet.
Hooked on the green. My first car was green and at the time hated the color. Now days I walk past all the red, white and black just to get to the mint green. Seems like every time I find an original green chevelle it has been repainted red.
Patrick. I have been chasing a LS6 Chevelle for many years and i call the family who owns it about once a year to let them I'm still interested. It is a two owner car and hasn't been on the road since the mid 80's. I don't remember all the options on the car, but it is a non cowl induction car with stripe delete on the hood. Hopefully someday you'll be able to video this car, but for now it's a waiting game.
Very nice car. I think the new buyer should take it back to original day one condition. Not many out there like that with the original engine with 4 speed black on black. Only suggestion is to add the white stripes. Great video as always buddy👍
I remember seeing a black LS6 4 speed Chevelle in the paper for 4800 in 1983. By the time I called it was sold. Then I saw it for 8000 a month later but it was too much for me. This one here is super sweet
As far as im concerned and im sure some will agree, the 1970 Chevelle SS454 LS6 is the king of musclecars!! Always dreamed of them since i was a kid, im 42 now and still do!!
I love the knowledge that this guy has and he really knows his stuff. But man I wish you'd put that camera about a foot from the car as you're talkin, we all know what a 70 Chevelle looks like! I want to see screw heads on the tail light lenses, etc. Thats all.
Omg so beautiful 😍 kind of looks naked without the stripes on it, but I like still, specially with the black paint I like it better with stripes but I wouldn’t turn my head up at this car 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Patrick, too bad you weren't old enough to be around back in the day when these cars were running the streets. Did you start out in the late 90's or early 2000's? If you need any help from the guys that ordered these cars new and drove them on the streets as a daily, feel free to let me know. Nice to see you kids getting into these cars so there's newbies like you teaching the kids of today.
Very nice car I love Chevelle and Impalas my favorite Chevelle would be a 67 plain 2dr a Malibu SS or 6-cylinder or nothing I have a 283 setting hear that waiting for that car if my dream would come true that day
Beautiful LS6 coming up to my Massachusetts. Quick question for Patrick did they ever put a convertible frame under a hardtop SS Chevelle big block from the factory?. 😱
That thing is just asking for a day 2 setup. If the body has the potential of the paint I can say with certainty that it was not cheap to get type of finish.....
Think of how BADASS that thing would look with a set of Cragar SS's, Weld drag lights or polished Center lines!, shit if you can pay over 6 figures for a car, you can definitely AFFORD to drive it!
Your vids are great Patrick... you still get the 7 out :) Seriously curious why the wheel chock is on the uphill side of the passenger tire instead of the back/downhill side? Keep up the great content sir.......
Technically if you were in person you could clearly see if the car was going to roll it would be forward. Not to mention manual trans cars aren’t known to jump into reverse. They generally jump into low gear.
Patrick is the engine in the back of the truck a 454 ? I just helped a friend pull the engine out of a wrecked 70 SS been stored sence 78 had 89000 org. miles on it and I bought the engine it has the 3963512 and date is 70 at the moment I can not think of the month . Is this engine a good one and about what HP is it. Would appreciate your help thank you Sonny
Now THAT is my kind of 70 Chevelle. I don't care if it's a Super Sport or a straight 6 powered Malibu. I'll take ANY black on black, no vinyl top 70! Congratulations to both the buyer and the seller.
