    Pat you need to show this car off again after you get it cleaned up and looking sweet again. Love those bucket seats and center console, beautiful machine.

      I have a friend who had one of these in the mid-late 70's but it was a SS 396. He still has it. Got a lot of fond memories riding in it up and down Westheimer in Houston during that time.

    I can’t claim to be a big Chevelle guy but I really enjoy your enthusiasm and knowledge of your subject.

    I think this is my favorite car you've found. Tuxedo Black 4 sp LS6 hard to top.
    And really remarkable body.
    The first thing I noticed that I learned from you are the chrome trim under headlights that notes an "earlier build"..
    That's a keeper and a full rotisserie restoration car.
    Great find. USA1 🇺🇸

    You, sir, have uncanny luck! Finding just ONE of these gems in a lifetime is a rare feat. Finding TWO LS-6 Chevelles, just MONTHS apart, and both cars have been napping indoors since the late '70s, tells me you would also probably win the state lottery the next time you purchased a ticket! Big time congratulations on your finds! The 1970 Chevelle has always been my favorite car, ever since I was 4 years old and my older brother owned one. I am now 51 and still haven't owned a 1970 Chevelle SS, just a basket case Malibu about 20 years ago.

    I know where a 22000 mile original is in New Mexico, but the original owner doesn't want to be bothered. It is glorious. His discipline in keeping this car correct is unmatched. It doesn't even go to shows. He's unaffected by anything. It's his absolute favorite thing next to his family. I remodeled 3 bathrooms for him in 2009. Saw it then. Pristine. Original tires and spare! 4 speed car. Tricentennial Gold.

    It's amazing to me how many LS6s you find and how, even though they have been modified significantly over the decades, they remain largely intact. Even in the day, it seems like people knew these were going to be a big deal 52 years later. My date-coded-tire-air ocd mid-yearCorvette restoration obsession is greatly rewarded with your insistence on assembly line accuracy. Thanks for the memories.

    I've always loved 1970 Chevelles. If I ever hit the lottery, I'll be hunting for a numbers matching black on black, no stripe, no vinyl top 70 SS. Since I'd like to actually drive it rather than setting valve lash every few weeks, I'd probably look for an L-34 or LS-5 car. On the other hand, I don't mind setting valve lash now and then lol! Until I'm rich though, I'll just be happy with the black on black 70 Malibu that my wife and I restored and modified ourselves. While it's not a numbers matching car, it does have a full house small block and can definitely hold its own. I've never even thought about turning it into a "clone" either.

    Congrats Patrick on another great barn find LS6. Can't wait for a follow up to see miles and underneath. I noticed there is a large collection of 70 LS6 cars coming up at Mecum soon. Someone may want your assistance to verify for a purchase. I know I would if I was in the market. Right now I'm trying to decide if I want to sell my Gto for another mid year Vette, Chevelle or Nova.
    Anyway it was great to see your new video and purchase after waiting for a month or so since the last one. Have a Happy Thanksgiving and see your next posting soon.. 👍

    In 1972 a friend from high school, after a bet two get straight A's in his last report card father bought his son a brand new LS 6 with 454 Holly 4 barrel cowl induction Hurst shift the works. One early summer day he took the challenge to race a mutual friend who had a big block cougar. After cougar took the lead for maybe 3 seconds before we zipped on by. He kept accelerating. I said that's enough Steve you won. He replied just a minute. My heart started to race. I looked over at the speedometer. It read 142 mph. My entire life flashed before my eyes. Your car is the exact same he had except his had the Hurst t handle and was the popular blue with black stripes.

    This car is incredible. Black with white stripes, M22, 410 rear end. And in this shape. Yeah I'd have to say it is the Holy Grail. I'm thinking that the gas crisis of the mid 70's has been a God send to you. Can't imagine many people could afford to drive them. That gas crisis must have produced a number of sweet gas guzzling barn finds. Thanks for the video.

Your brilliance tells me black with white stripes a four speed and a must have 410 posi tells me that's the model I would desire . Headers ? Argh not me . I truly believe stock forever . I WOULD NOT CHANGE A FUCKING THING. I REALIZE I AM JUST A CARETAKER SUBJECT TO DEATH. The car should roll on after I die . I would put aside the stock tires and buy soft compound drive tires. Have some fun side stepping the clutch for some tirespin . I would have the car for the epic styling with the sheer excitement of being part of history . A big thank you AND a huge hug from one passionate lover of muscle cars to an even bigger one You , sir are one of the best . God bless our country AND you .
