Mean green 1970 Chevelle SS454 LS6 M22 4.10 discovered in northern Wisconsin parked since 1987. Original Forrest green with white bucket seat interior. This car has been in Wisconsin it’s entire life.
Man they are still out there . That’s why I’m always looking. A good time is to look is around 8:00 am-3:00 pm on Sunday . Because people open there garages up to do yard work and chores. And that when you spot them .
My friend Greg Stender bought a green 1970 Chevelle LS6 454 in the mid 1970s when we were in high school. He sold it to a guy in Eugene Oregon, Gary Metcalf who raced it. I lost track of it in the 1980s. Sure would like to know what happened to it. It had a black interior, 4 speed. Greg Stender got the car from a guy in Coos Bay Oregon in 1974. Being only 4 years old when he got it, it was perfect!!! The car was already a legend at that time, and Greg took great care of it. We all had great cars back then! Of course we didn't know how rare and valuable they were going to be today!!!
I have a 1968 Cutlass Supreme Holiday Coupe with the L74 350 4bb. carb and auto trans. and my radiator is a 3-row with an IA tag on the radiator tank as well. The hose attachments are different sizes. The top one is 1 1/2 inches and the bottom one is 1 7/8 inches. My car also has factory A/C which is why. Thanks, Patrick and keep finding more Chevelles.
Bryan Bartholomew but I never hope to become a purist like that I mean a 48 year radiator is great but what are the chances it's still good. It's not so it has to be replaced most likely and then you have a matching nr. radiator sitting on a shelf
With all the authentic 1970 Chevelle SS 454 LS6 optioned cars you find it sure makes me wonder why people are building clones and even more surprising that people are paying authentic prices for clones.
Have a 70monte,love it,was a barn find also,same chassis, different bodywhat I like about driving it the most is it feel like you actually have something around you,and goes way fast for 3500pounds
I never saw the need for originality. Since I was a Street Racer, anything I had was modified. My favorite car was a '65 Biscayne with the "Drag Pack" option. That meant a 425hp 396 and 4 speed wrapped in a "Plain Jane" sedan with steel wheels and dog dish hubcaps. I couldn't afford an original so I bought a '65 Biscayne with a 283 and 3 speed. Most importantly, it didn't need body work or paint. I installed a 550hp 454 and a Richmond 6 speed. Added disc brakes and Hotckis suspension. A new interior too. Total cost including the price of the car? $20K. An original '65 Biscayne with the "drag Pack" option was going for $75K. In 1976, I had a '65 Malibu SS which someone had installed a 396 bored to a 427. A cylinder cracked so my neighbor sold me his high mileage 454 LS6 that was sitting in his garage. I installed the 454 and raced my roommates 435hp 427 Corvette and beat him. It had a 4 speed and 4:88's.
@@cynthiajolly1289 yeah he even beat all the sleeves in with a claw hammer. Instead of putting the sleeves in the freezer before installing he put the block in his kitchen oven and warmed it up.
Nice find again.. Alot of this muscle car we're parked in the 80's well most of them .. The prices they sold for in the 80's compare to now I heard stories 1500 for Chevelle SS . To bad I was in Diapers in 80's lol I would got my self couple.
I paid 1800 for my 70 Chevelle SS ( had 49,000 miles on it ) , in 78 and some thought I paid too much . SURE Wish I`d have kept it . Gave 1000. for a LS5 Chevelle about a year later , had a blown Motor , which I rebuilt . WISH I still had it too .

My favorite things l owned were all made in Missouri. The Chevelle and l wasnt even aware if that. The Corvette befor moving to Bowling Green and the vrod in KcMo. I built the Harley plant and been back twice when in priduction. I sold vette last year and now have my Nightrod Special. Missouri now has my respect, l moved here like a year ago
Some people have commented the sound is tough sometimes... if you wear apple earbuds, (if you are using an iPhone), the mic on the earbuds will record your voice. Much cleaner than the mic on the phone.
I know of a ls6 white black strip, vinyl top, black interior, auto. It's been apart since the late 80's, my dads uncle bought it new, my dads friend bought it in the mid 70's. Hiding here in Wisconsin
Wow... If the dealership that sold it new was Bob Johnson Chevrolet in Wausau, I probably cleaned and prepped it for delivery back when I was a teenager.
Power steering back in the day was cool. But I had several that just had manual. They really wasn't that hard to handle. Once you was barely rolling it became easy... Been There
I've been following this Orgy of muscle cars for a while now. Back in 1973 I had a super nice 56 belair and a really pretty girl friend, we were cruising on the freeway south of the city where I lived on one sunny Sunday morning . A Chevelle SS ,blue Metallic, came along side and indicated he wanted a bit of a race. Ha ha , no way my stock 265 and bolt action three speed was going to match that car, the First i had seen in my part of the World. I often saw the car at weekend drag races and often wonder what ever happened to it.
Mercmad That’s cool man. My first car was a 63 bel air 4 door, grandma car! Cold A/C, automatic. Paid 250 bucks for it! It had like 60,000 miles on it when I got it in 78. Car was tough as an anvil. Wish I still had it.
When I bought the car it was newer,relatively than anything I own today.. ha ha. i paid $1600 and it was in almost new Condition. After a couple years flogging around, the 265 succumbed to the old 265 problem, it lost a piston crown and i kept driving till it stopped. I swapped in a 327 which I had bought from a dealer, a 365/327 minus the intake ,so i fitted a 750 Holley and proceeded to scare myself stupid until i sold it one night. There's no way i could ever afford to buy it back now . Even those early 265 V8 engines fetch good money from people restoring 55 and 56 chevies.
I actually have a 67 Camaro today, matter of fact drove the car this morning. I kinda like the idea of scaring oneself stupid! The small block 302 cubit inch makes 463 hp, perfect without being over the top. Add a 4 speed 4:10 positive track and it can really make a man smile. Man I really enjoyed sharing these kind of experiences, have a great day.
As much as you apologize for lighting and noise and other video related problems that are not under your control, I'm going to assume some keyboard warriors must have raised hell in past about such things... who cares keep up the good work.
Naturally I wish I still had my 71 SS 454 365 horse M 22 Muncie four speed rock crusher very unique sounding transmission once you had one you knew the difference in a it was a factory reps car had some unusual options like power door locks factory stereo And that window sticker at over five grand no salesman could understand why that car was so expensive and did not have factory air but the M 22 transmission was the most costly option on the car and I never in all the years I owned it come across another Big block Chevelle that had the transmission this one was the same color as mine except I had a white vinyl top bumper guards and if my research was correct there was only 17 cars built with power door locks and I would be willing to bet they were four-door cars. And the factory Am Fm stereo radio was a pretty pricey option also
I'm from 60 miles north of green bay and I think I have heard tell of this car. I've heard some great stories if this is in fact the same car......and how could it not be?
I'm amazed at the number of these cars that are still out there. This one will have a happy ending hopefully. Unfortunately, too many others will continue to rot away. If you love your car let it go.
Wonder if they’ll find the build sheet under the gas tank or taped to the inner fender? I found mine under the tank in my Leeds built 72 ss. Also, curious why the 4 small holes on the dash face are painted silver?
I wonder if it got tapped in the nose so they replaced the bezels,grill, bumper and hood? or maybe they decorated it for Xmas, red and green, classic Xmas colors? lol! so glad to hear they're restoring it almost immediately! music to my ears.thanks again.
Not rare at all. If you didn't order bucket seats you got a bench seat, and you could order it with stripes or without. There's a lot of Chevelle 's with cowl induction with the stripe delete . Back then you had to order everything you wanted.
Another great find. Thing is these cars are not rare. GM put truck engines in these cars and basically put a stripe on them with a SS badge. What’s sad is displacement doesn’t mean anything with today’s technology. My o4 SS has a V6 and puts down 320 hp. GM back in 55-65 I think had what they called fuelies lol that put down more hp than a B.B. engine. They discontinued it because it was a 400 dollar option that no one could afford so they quit production of the fuel injection. LS6 is the only Chevelle that counts in my opinion.
1:58 I’m not a Chevy guy by any means but I enjoy this Channel. Just out of curiosity...what is that turnbuckle thing connecting the block to the frame? A ground strap? An engine mount? Both??? Thx in advance.
Says the guy with 15 subscribers. You probably need to takes note and learn rather than worry about titles. Feel free to start your own channel and make your own titles if you like. Thanks for watching.
@@patrickglennnicholsmusclec1674 ease up on the roids bro. I have always liked your channel. Didnt know a little constructive criticism getcha so buttgurt so easy. I aplologise. You are the top Chevelle expert hands down. I have appreciated knowledge gained from the channel. Probably a hundred different( or more) people have knowwn about or tried to buy em for years. Pull a ls6 up from the bottom of the pacific and we can agree on recently surfaced. Every body who is a hotrodder or car guy in the community that car has been in knows it well and wouldnt say recently surfaced. Maybe newly documented or re discovered but not newly surfaced. Sjit didn't think you're one to get so offended. My apology. But dang. Chill a little. Roud raging or wife problems or whatever im a longtime sub with a high percentage of watched and thumb up videos but hey im not the expert. Calm down dang
This car was definitely driven real hard and abused during its drag racing days. Guy ended up blowing the original probably during a stoplight street race
How is it that an authentic SS454 LS6 Chevelle with a 4-speed didn't come standard with a cowl induction hood ? That's like having a SD455 Trans-am without the shaker !
Since no one has commented yet, except a guy who hasn't driven a Ford ever. I'll give you my two cents. Yes they did come from the factory with hood pins but not all. I have owned two 70 chevelle SS 396 car's. One had them one did not, and the one that had them may have had them added. Anyhow some did come with them for sure.
I think someone totaled the original car and that is another chassis with the stickers and driveline added... the interior swap story is too stupid to be real no one does that especially only part way. That is a fake IMO...
My 53 2 door Belair is way cooler!! Single owner all original part. It's been sitting in a feald since 1973 .. now it's mine !! Best part I was born in 82 and my garndfather has 30 plus grand kids but I was the only one to be named after him !!
