It made the correct door squeak when opened.
Atlanta plant was famous for bench seat 4 speed flapper hood cars. Also they loved Gold on them mostly with black interiors. Excellent original car with bullet proof documentation. Great Video as always Patrick 👍 keep them coming.
Oh you bring back many memories. My first car crusin.
How great it would have been to walk into a dealership back then and sit down and go through an pick out your options for your custom built Chevelle
that got more than my daydreams. I actually resorted to finding 1/2 ton trucks.. custom orders. My last SBC is an injected 1996 v8, 5 speed (muncie 50)
@@bgd73 nice !
My older brother was 19 when he ordered his SS 396. He was so excited about getting this car that I had to remind him to get the posi rear end. I was only 14 at the time. I ended up taking my drivers license test in that car. Good memories.
@@alancrash that is awesome !
@@alancrash very very COOL. Those would be awesome memories.......:-)
Love all the info and details you give.
Thanks for your support.
Do you have a metal detector that has a 70 chevelle SS mode on it ?
😎
Let's go to Tennessee....Seems to be an abundance of barn cars there 😊
LMAO that's what I was think Mathew knows where all the '70 SS Chevelles are. Besides Mathew that I know of, my brother can sniff a Chevelle out like a blood hound....LOLOLOL
Fred THATS F'N Hillarious..... SPOT ON BRO!!!!! I wondered the same how in the hell does he find all of these SS Chevelles
There is alot more that people doesn't know about believe that....
Another sweet Chevelle!!!
love your videos patrick you do an awesome job love the chevelles too
I love this car , iv had 2 chevelles but the reason why i love this car i live 2 blocks from the atlanta ga lakewood plant that built this car its amazing how there are some still out there like this great video
Rod t if you live near Lakewood , run for your life and always be packing heat !
@@deerhunter7482 bro I grew up here
That feel when you’ve watched so many Patrick Nichols videos that you go to car shows and start breaking down other peoples cowl tags
I’ve been doing it at car shows for quite a long time.
Never seen a vacuum pod like that ,very interesting.., and mine still has the original
Hey chevy ..yeah you..! this is what sells, old easy to work on easy to build common sense beastly beauty ! Bring back this and you never loose keep putting sensors on sensors plastic switches inside motors and transmissions just because everybody else is doing it you loose and go off the cliff with the loosers.
WHY is everyone hiding all of the Chevelles? I cannot believe all of these big block Chevelles, sitting since they were parked 30-40+ years ago, and their owners have no urge to drive it! Nothing beats the feeling of being planted back in the seat of a powerful automobile!
Cars worth 30 grand as is to the right person.
By the way Patrick have you ever ran across one of these chevelle owners who were perhaps misinformed and thought that they knew all about these cars? In other words have you ever had to school someone who didn't know what they were talking about? Would love to hear any of those stories you might have.
Great find as usual Patrick....appreciate your love for these cars and all the hard work you put into bringing us these videos.
Awesome!
I love that squeaking of the driver door!!
Same color as mine! Our family has owned our SS since new
man your a chevelle gynecologist...love the channel
Dang you know where a lot of '70 Chevelles SS are! But not the few that I know is sitting hear in Kentucky lol... One family that I know bought a '70 SS LS6 brand new and keeps it in there garage. I live not far from Clarksville, Tnn
Interesting that the stripes were painted below the rear window under the vinyl top.
id do black or blue with purple stripe front and red stripe back :) very cool
Damn ,you sure know your SS chevelles. !!!!
Thanks other good video patrick. Thanks for the information again you definitely know you stuff!! About chevelles..
Thank you for all the trouble you go thru to make these great videos !
It’s a shame most people who have these nice classics NEVER put down a plastic tarp under the car as a moisture barrier to protect the integrity of the car. Even as a kid I knew enough to do this!
The rubbed off paint and slightly worn interior ,but cared for, is what was once called Patina... If this car was auctioned, there are people like me who would prefer it over a polished up trailer queen .
I bought a 1970 desert sand with black stripes Chevelle SS in 1972 with 18,000 on the clock that was sold originally by the same dealer and was a new car trade in for the princely sum of $2200. Car was 402 Turbo 400 column shift with cloth Goldish/tan colored interior with a bench seat and was 100% original as it had rolled off the showroom floor new.
Was a super nice car, I sold it about a year or so later to buy a '66 389 Tri Power 4 spd GTO.
Always excited to watch these videos. Not often do I spot things that the videoer doesn't point out. I spotted the fancy plumbers elbow on the aftermarket intake manifold along with the internal regulator alternator mod has been done to this car. As always, GREAT find and video. Keep them coming. Thank you.
Great video Patrick! I watch all of your video’s&always look forward to your next find! It amazes me how many of these cars are out there&still Original!!
This chevelle SS was born January 1970 in Atlanta Georgia 50yrs ago I'LL be 50 in November my Dad brought 1 in the summer of 70 red with black strips with black interior 396 325 Hp 4spd no AC
What’s this car worth as it sits?
Wiper motor is missing! Whats up with the Clutch Z bar linkage? It looks much newer then the rest of the engine compartment?
Might want to tell the owner to do something with that rubber fuel line running to the carb from the Pump. Hate to see this 70 SS charcoal coated
A couple of 2 cylinder John Deere's! :35
You've been on a role lately with videos and I'm love in it Patrick keep up the good work and great Barn finds see ya on the next video.
I just acquired a 70 SS I got partial build sheet not in the best shape but do have it no motor Factory 4 speed car I'm just glad to have a very nice gentleman Linden put it down to me to have my fun with it next he said he was a great guy I just I'm just glad to have a very nice gentleman Linden put it down to me to have my fun with it next he said he was a great guy I just wanted to
Someone been modifying this car out. MSD ignition, and headers, which is not bad. I still wouldn't mind getting this car.
I had almost the same car, same color but with a Gold cloth bench seat minus the vinyl top.
Needs some lovin'. Great starting point 👍👍.
Not much of a Chevy guy but I do like these old Chevelles..
Where would i find the build sheet on my 71 elcamino ? Its a big block 402 non ss car one owner car.
I've had a few el caminos . Look under carpet behind seat , I found them on top of gas tanks too.
Good luck !
An army buddy from Cleveland had a 1969 Chevelle with the 396/375 hp mill,.......and when he stabbed that bad boy going down the ramp to get onto the breezeway,......that motor rocked you back in your seat bug time. Pete K really loved that car.
ANOTHER great find , Patrick !
I'm in cape breton nova Scotia canada .there is a real ss 396 chevelle in this guy's sisters back yard for about 30 plus years .4 speed car .buddy won't sell it .I'm going to see if I can get a pic of it one of these days .it's light blue with white stripes white interior.
Good morning ,this sounds really great.Couple years ago I visited Port Hawkesbury,Judique and surrounding areas-now I am in Germany....Isn't it funny how small the world became since the internet ? Would be wonderful if you made pics from the car...I am listening to New Country 103,5 (ex The Eagle ) when I am at home or in the yard via internet...never got Cape-Breton out of my head-wonderful people ,too...All the best to you and the place I'd rather should be.Roger
That's really cool! although If it's out during the winter its probably full of rust. I'm down in sackville and Theres a guy around here who owns a 454 big block chevelle from 1970, Me and my friends have only seen it a couple times but it looks like it's really well taken care of.
My old SS is a mile up the road from me, sold it in 76, but guy wont sell it back to me, im tortured everyday.
Thats a John deere 1948-52 model M next to it...Badass..ive got one and im just surprised to see one next to my favorite car in a barn find 👍
My god, the lines on this beauty are perfect. That is one nice Chevelle. Very rare to find one this straight and nice. I would bet it has never been wrecked. Man I would love to have that baby .... The right side front bumper needs adjusted, and tucked in straight .... ......
I could watch these all day! Makes me love my 70SS even more. Special vehicles , built during a special time. Keep em coming Patrick!
Nice. You're a walking encyclopedia. keep em comin!
Tennessee is awesome
The details you know! God the lines in the triangles on the headlights... lol crazy
Humm.... This guy!
What about the fire extinguisher in the back seat? Could it be a sign of things to come? BOOM just a thought. : )
Pole barn find. Love this car its beautiful wish i had a barn like this. It needs a basic restore not a total body off looks to be in really nice shape.good idea to take that vinyl top off. 350hp 396 is a nice option really easy to make modifications and build 500hp most wouldnt even see.
Dude u need to say alright alright alright in the beginning of the videos that woukd be so awsome
Totally agree !
If you want to be so picky the Atlanta plant wasn’t in Atlanta it was in Doraville Georgia
the factory did a good bit of paint repair at the factory so some times paint repairs are "original"
Mr Nichols you a a big book of chevy hi performance car knowledge.Thank you so much sir im learning a lot from you..
always bummed when a driven car doesn't get started by you in your videos
9:35..... you can see where the vinyl top covered a portion of the stripes.
I want to buy it, does owner want to sell her?
Very cool find Patrick...that's a neat car with a nice color
I love that the vehicle has the original T3 Headlights. I like the T3 Headlights for originality since I am a judge with the NCRS= National Corvette Restorers Society
Wanna buy some 😂😂
Yes. I was thinking the same thing. How rare to have all 4 T-3 headlights. Also kinda cool the steel rims are marked 10-31.
@@scoobyroorogers all of the items that he pointed out in the video in reference to build data information on the parts would be correct, etc. I like his videos since he is correct and accurate. A lot of the items that he pointed out is referenced in the judging manuals that we use for judging with the NCRS- National Corvette Restorers Society for Flight Judging for the Chevrolet Corvette.
@@CorvetteStingRayLane arw
I wish u could see my cousins 454 as low miles all .org mint condition 10 out of 10 car he bought from the original owner 20 years ago car was covered in the garage it’s hole life
Chevygirlss get me a contact number and I’ll most likely go check it out. He can text me photos to 931-241-9908.
I’d like to start the bidding at $50,000
That color with the black top and stripes, super tough. 💪
My buddy’s 70 SS still has the original M20 Muncie 4-speed shifter in it. He’s had the car since late 80’s.
I know we're that car is seen it a hundred time passing by they had the engine out of a few years back.
Did you purchase the car Patrick?
🔥🔥🔥🔥
I thought Matthew McConaughey likes Lincoln’s not Chevy super sport.
lol,you read my mind!exactly what i thought after 1 min of listening.
Yeah but what about Dazed and Confused?
Love all Ls6 Atlanta chevelle.
How did the different plants choose what tires they put on the cars they were building? Did they just use what happened to be available at the plant that day?
Eric Hite exactly. There was no rhyme or reason as long as wheel tire combo matched the buildsheet it was I used.
Oh hey!its the nobody gets unless i do guy so he can brag about it to people.
Steve LeBlanc oh hey!! Yes I have first choice on cars I locate. That’s how it works. Thanks for watching
This is great. Fascinating
This exact car came up on craigslist a few months ago for 13,000 out of Georgia. I was within inches of sending a 10% deposit via Zelle to hold car for me as I am in Fl. Even talked to guy on phone but something just didn’t feel right so I didn’t do it. Next day was supposed to FT but claimed it got sold overnight! I damn near got scammed!!!!!
Love your videos thanks....any chance your on Instagram I'd like to see photos and follow u
Cannot even imagine how many 70 Chevelles (or similar muscle cars) are rotting away at the moment!
All of them
I miss my '71 Chevelle Malibu.
Is it just me or has this guy have a stash of desert sand 70 ss chevelles ?
I had a 70 Chevelle SS that was solid black, no stripes, had white interior, 402 cid big block with Holley carb, headers, 4 speed Muncie transmission with Hurst shifter, 4:11 posi track rear-end with traction bars, had U.S. Custom aluminum mags running 70's on front and 50's on rear
Really cool you found that paper build in the drivers door all these years and still readable. I did not know this. Nice find amazing you found it.
Looks beautiful, if they want it driven more, I'm an hour or so away, I'll take it out for them
any tips on finding something like this
Why would anyone order a new Chevelle SS without posi-trac???
If Detroit was pumping out cars like this today it would be 75k.
My old man owned and crashed several of these ...He was hell on wheels 👿
Mike Pevency that’s funny you said that! My dad owned one identical to this. Same color and all. Bought it when it was 2 years old. Drove it for 3 months and wrapped it around a tree. Boys and there toys right!
Nice!
I love the chavelle ss does it drive !!!!
Ok . It has a aftermarket cassette player so how do you know it came with an 8 track, on the build sheet I guess. I'll shut up now
...he found the original build sheet behind the door panel.
do you ever find a one owner car like this, still in the possession of the original owner?
Great video. The explanation of the codes was informative. I had one question: From the tag information, is it possible to tell if the axle is a 10-bolt or 12-bolt? Thanks
kcsavers you cannot tell if the car was equipped with a 10 bolt or 12 bolt by examining the cowl tag. Thanks for watching,!
Ya get under it and count the bolts. It’s a 12.
Pgn, great video!!Thanks!!!
Do you have any finds/videos of 1970/71 SS 454 Monte Carlos ?
I wish he would do some on the first gen Monte Carlo. I have a 70 that I've had for almost 32 years. It's not an SS but I did put a 396/TH400 in it about 22 years ago.
@@Mr2004MCSS For sure! I had a 1970 SS 454 Monte Carlo, dark blue, console, factory 8-track. Some "day two" mods like Cragar SS wheels, headers, but full exhaust with the SS Chrome tips, balanced engine with huge Holley carb, intake, cam. Car was a comfortable smooth riding rocketship, that always got thumbs up. Must be worth a fortune now wherever it is! (sold it in '82 for $1800)
@@saabtech3510 I would love to own a factory 454 SS Monte. I've not seen any around here for sale and probably couldn't afford one if I could. They have went up in value. My Monte is dark blue with a blue interior.
@@Mr2004MCSS They are rare. I think they only made 1,800 of them. The guy I bought mine from owned a gorgeous mint bone stock black 454 SS Monte. Hardly see them for sale today. Saw a blue one on ebay last year that needed a ton of work. They were asking 26K.
@@saabtech3510 They made 3,823 of them in 1970 and 1,919 of them in 71 so they are pretty rare compared to how many of those year Monte Carlo's made. I saw a 71 SS for sale a couple of years ago in a neighboring state for $12,500. It looked to be in very good shape with a lot of options since it had the build sheet but it didn't have the original engine. It was a triple black car. I would have loved to have it but just didn't have the money.
I didn't know they painted the stripes under the vinyl top .@9:34
I would loose my mind if I could get a Chevelle. Running or not . If I found a numbers matching car , full stock restoration.
Looks like the white birthday color about 3 weeks ago
very nice an very nice vid.. hope u bought it, rebuild with Posi, thats what i would do, theres no fun keeping it original . lol.
Agree. I had two 70SS and both were stock appearig with some mods. I found this old camcorder video of my red car at drags, street burnout etc. Check it out on TH-cam...
th-cam.com/video/6JqspXe0lDo/w-d-xo.html
I hate this guy. He gets to find and get a close look at all these bad ass cars.
if you see any onld 3 tons, they had the big T3's as well,, I was told the 3 ton 350's had an LT1 crank in them and old farm equipment with big block Chevs in it were an HP stamped block with a 2Bbl carb on them.
This is a mile from my house
Do they want to sell it?!$
Back in the 80s, my dad got a beej somewhere near here
How much??
@PatrickGlen Hypothetically speaking IFFFFFF the owner had said he take 10,000 for it that day, would you have bought it???!!!
