- Detailed walk around of this 1970 Chevelle SS454 LS6 that went through the Special Paint program to receive the ultra rare Tri Centennial Gold exterior. It is currently the only known documented SS454 LS6 M22 example to receive this special color. This car has undergone a very meticulous painstaking concourse restoration by top notch restorer Chris White of Concours Concepts in Upton, MA. All of the molding trim work and polish detail was completed by Dennis Barnett of Classic Molding Restoration.
I'm not sure what I'm more amazed with, the car itself or your knowledge of the car/history/build specifications/assembly plant anomalies. It's obvious that this is more than a job for you, it's a passion.
That car is a masterpiece. I grew up in that era and my dad worked for Chevy Engineering and used to bring hope all the SS cars and we would take them out after dinner and run the wheels off them. I drove an LS6 with Muncie 4 speed. A wonderful car.
I hate you, lol!
I built a barn on my property two years ago. I have gone out to the barn every week for two years and I haven't found a damn thing!I don't know how people keep finding muscle cars in their barns.
Lmao
*Keep the barns doors open and place a case of oil containing a high level of zinc and a jug of premium ethanol-free gas just inside the doors. It's like using a salt lick to attract deer.*

I lived in Clarksville TN for 17 yrs go down 48 south towards Dickson county and you will find cars like this .
Absolutely beautiful. My Dad ordered his SS454 LS5 Cranbury Red, Black Stripe Bench seat M22 373 posi Cowl hood power steering, had no tach, in 1969 and took delivery in early '70. He ordered it with the T-10, but for some reason, they put the M22 in it, and before my Dad picked up the car, the dealer called him to see about paying the difference between the T-10 and M22. My Dad told them to keep the car then. but they said OK, we will hide the cost somewhere. We used it as the Family car for about 5 years, after that, it received some serious power up-grades and he started racing it. Somewhere down the line, he purchased an L-88 427, went 90 over, roller cam and dual 4's. He pulled the LS5 and swapped the 427. Eventually got into the mid 9's. Around 1980, he grew tired of it, put the LS5 back in and sold it dirt cheap, and purchased a 68 RS SS Camaro. Anyhow, Beautiful Car Patrick. Keep up the great finds and Video's !
By dirt cheap, I mean $3500 bucks. Would be worth way more now, lol
I 'think' it was ordered with the T-10, might have been the M21, it was a long time ago. lol
Mr. Glenn, that setting has to be the best one you've come across for reviewing a car! No dirt, no spiders, no disgruntled landowners, no snakes, no trees or briar bushes to traverse through! Great film!

Excellent observation, no barn find here!!
Looks like somebody’s living room!? Or a conference room in some fancy hotel?
David Mc
Not at all, those are Patrick’s words, he only does barn finds not restored Or registered !
And that is not a quarter million cars
Beautiful. I'm old enough that I lived these cars in real time. In 1972 I bought a used '70 LS5 TH400 and proceeded to beat on the car like it was a rental. Lots of good ones got away on me, many people have that story. Thanks for the video.
I do like the car, but i have to say: You are THE BEST Classic Car Presenter. Im 54 and until now have just always liked these old cars. But even though i will never recall all these details, you sure give a simple man, a right solid appreciation for these old gems.
My dad worked for TRI City Chevrolet dealership in the 60 s and 70s he is still kicking well at 84yo I remember him working in the back yard garage and rebuilding automatic transmissions AND HOT RODING THE TURBO 400W/B &M shift kit Man ..... those days where great my dad was a super star to the guys that Loved to cherp second gear 😋👍🇺🇸
This is one of the best, most accurately restored chevelles I've ever seen not to mention the mastery of the paint finish and stripes.
This car would bring well over 100 grand at auction
@Jeff Spicolli Absolutely. Watched one recently go thru an auction that sold for $129k, but with this being a tri-gold edition there's no reason this car wouldn't be $150k or more.
This car belongs in a museum stunning !
This is probably one of the best chevelle SS car's I've ever seen thanks Patrick for bringing us this beauty
exactly
Wonderful video... I just spent 29 minutes and 50 seconds learning even more about 1970 Chevelles. Thanks Patrick!
Chevelle is the best car Chevrolet ever made. Bought a 72 brand new for $3500. Wish I had it now!
What a beautiful car!!! Absolutely stunning!!! Patrick's knowledge is also super awesome!!!
That's the sweetest 1970 Chevelle I've ever seen. Much thanks.
Patrick I'm from South Carolina and i was unaware GM made this Special Chevelle .Thanks for the education . what a spectacular Vehicle
Agree, I'm from the low country of South Carolina. From Dec 1968 to Aug 1971 I was in Vietnam and really sad to have missed a lot of this muscle car era. However, I did have a 1966 GTO and a 19968 GTO, wife wrecked both of them.....got rid of wife! Only wish I could afford one of the following cars: 69 Road Runner, 65-67 Chevelle SS, 1970 Chevelle SS, or a 65 GTO. One can ONLY wish I suppose, especially at the price of them today.
Chuck Black I have a 1966 Chevelle SS 396 convertible with factory power windows and top and sad to say but planning to sell. My daughters are not happy neither am I. You would not believe how may people commented on it when on road. Even had a State official follow me just to stop me and comment. The experience while driving it is unexplainable.
Patrick I just wanted to let you know that I love these old cars with a passion just like you do and this car being one of one is a perfect example of how what you do means so much to me because had it not been for you I would have never known of this cars existence. It is a truly unique and beautiful car. In closing I just wanted to let you know that I really do appreciate you and your knowledge that you have spent a lifetime acquiring due to your love of the most iconic factory hotrod of all time. Thank you so much for taking the time to do what you do in order to be able to bring it to share with those of us who maybe aren't as fortunate or have the means to do it for ourselves. Thanks again you are appreciated and keep up the good work and keep those videos coming.
I heard “that is correct” a hell of a lot in this video. And that’s a good thing.
That is Correct.😉
A real beauty. I'd park it in my living room too.
Peter Surdo
Me too Brother 👍
Correct use of "too"
The ship anchor markings on the fender bolts, the tight-to-the-body super sport S's , "Don't shun the round tip yellow," this is some SERIOUS detail, Patrick! Yes!
I watched this before and I must say I missed a few details from the first video. I really enjoyed watching this again. What can be said, this Malibu is an iconic example. Quite possibly the only one of its kind in the world. Thank you Patrick. God bless.
Wow! Whoever restored this car...
is a master.
I've never been a fan of restored vehicles. I'm a hot rodder. However, when the restoration goes as far as to get paint over spray in the correct location. To me, this shows a level of detail that is extremely difficult to achieve. Totally impressed.
Oh My Goodness Patrick you always come up with the best thanks for brightening up my Saturday evening God Bless
Absolute beauty. Id like to shake the hands of everyone involved in that resto.. thank you so much for sharing this video Pat! Cheers!
unbelievable car unbelievable knowledge beautiful car THANKS to the owner and PGN for making this video possible WOW.
Well Patrick I'm so happy for you to be able to find this car must have been a living dream for you. Congratulations buddy👍
What a car Patrick. You rock my man. In 1985, I could have and should have bought a Cortez Silver LS6 in New Jersey. There was some panel fit issues. I passed and bought a California rust free Fremont assembly built 1970 GTO.
Do you still have the GTO?
We go From barn to dining room finds!!!! Nice
It was under the table since thanksgiving dinner 1972. Had some gravy on the hood.
Your narration, inspection, comments and expertise made me weep with love, admiration and respect. Your impeccable knowledge and professionalism helped to highlight a Million Dollar Automobile with the affection and regalia it fully deserves. Thank You So Much for showing us this beautiful car! 💖
This has got to be one of the best cars that you have went thru,, totally amazing,, great find,, keep on sending these videos to us,, great job sir
This may be the best one you've covered Patrick . Thanks for posting .
Hi Patrick! Thank you so much for sharing this with us! I was born in 1971 and have recently become in love with Detroit magic! I am a proud American and happy to learn more about all the muscle cars that were part of America when I was just a baby! To anyone who built these machines back in the day...2 thumbs up! Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!
Gorgeous Chevelle ! Thank You Patrick Glenn !
I owned and restored 9 1970 SS 454 3 convertibles 3 that were 375 hp 4 speed cars .great job was doing this 50 years
One of the most beautiful Chevelle 454 SS I've seen. Love the cars color! Thanks for such an informative review.
Patrick, you are the man! Thanks for educating us on these amazing cars brother.
Thank you Patrick, this was a true treat!
Once again you blow me away with your knowledge on these babies... Thank you for the education. Tell us about the special emblems.
Quite simply, my jaw just dropped❣️Thank you for bringing this for me to see 📽️ 🤘
I wish I could time travel back too 1969 and 1970 and look at cars like this on the show room floor.
Only in America 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
And buy everything you could get your hands on!
Why come back? I'd keep traveling back to 65 to 72 and just live my lifetime in that timeframe
I would go back to 1970 and play all lotto numbers from then on. Multi trillionaire
Man I love your videos! Please keep them coming!
Brandon Januhowski Music thank you for your support. Will do.
Great educational video. I've watched 90% of all your videos so I was right there with you on those details. And yes, the judges can be very technical on the degree of chrome. It can make or break the restoration.
Great job!! Patrick sure knows his stuff!...Super informative, I watched every minute!
About 9 years ago I was at my local gas station when a black 70 SS 454 LS-6 pulled in on a trailer to get gas in both it and the tow vehicle. It gleamed!! I asked if was worth over $100,000.00 and was told over 140 K...
Beautiful car. Thank you as always for sharing your wealth of knowledge with us.
That is the most immaculate Car I have ever seen. The only problem I see is that it looks like it's never even been started or driven. There is no evidence of heat being generated by the engine. I would not be able to resist driving this absolute gem of an LS6 Chevelle. Not to mention, I would never be able to afford such a restoration, or own such a rare example of a car. But, they are built to be driven AND admired!!!
Thank you for the education on these awesome cars and the history. Absolutely amazing
I don’t even love chevelle’s but your knowledge is amazing I love watching your videos
Beautiful. Thanks for showing us this gem.
Sure is a beauty. Anyone who owns that one will be thrilled to have it. Thanks for sharing it with us.
Thanks For Your Expertise Knowledge Patrick!!!
Wow!! This Chevelle is worth it’s weight in ‘Gold’!!! As close to perfection as any human being could get, ‘Bar’ none!!
You never showed an up-close look at the special Palmetto Tree badging. I was hoping to see that.
I've never seen that badging either. I thought for sure he would show it and explain the history behind it.
Hmm.... I wonder how many were built?!
Patrick thank you Sir! And "that is Correct".
Take Care & stay safe out there.
Thank you Patrick
WOW PATRICK UR KNOWLEDGE IS IS IMPECCABLE BUDDY I SURE ENJOY WATCHING LISTENING AND LEARNING!!
THANK U SO MUCH KEEP UM COMMING
Hopefully, this motivates some of the owners in your other videos. Thanks for sharing !
Tri centennial gold never seen one before good job bringing this to us love it
Fabulous car. Thanks for showing
Very nice I am going to see collection tomorrow thanks Glenn
Gorgeous GORGEOUS car!!! Wow an LS6!! Who’s doing the commentary Matthew mcconaughey 😎
Yep... Mathew is a hard core chevelle fanatic 👍😁
Alright alright alright
@@brianglade848 COMMENT FLAGGED AS SPAM😠
Big_Mike NYC oh no another comedian haha
I owned a Tri-Centennial LS5 1970 SS454 at one time. Previous owner had repainted it white. Had CE factory replacement block, etc. Still have a copy of the build sheet and it had special instructions for painting the wheels the same color as the body. Even had the GM paint mixing codes. However, it did not mention anything about special palm emblems.
Beautiful car Patrick.
- Mark H. with Somernites.
Wow one of a kind chevelle it should be stored in a museum
It probably will be which is what sucks about building them so perfect….it will get put in a collection to be seldomly seen again. Forget ever seeing it on the road. That being said, I do understand why.
I must have watched this video at least 5 or 6 times , Cant get enough
Back when cars look like cars, they all look the same now.
Spot on there a specially them Tesla cars about as exciting as a golf buggy
Have you seen non muscle cars from that era? They all look the same aswell. Dumb comment
That comment is the most ignorant thing I will read all week trust me I'm on reddit quite often
Awesome job thank you great film one of your best thank you have a great day keep finding
Had one of these. Sold it because I was having a child. Can't say I regretted it ever.
If you could have struggled a little harder and kept both that car could have either paid for a really nice wedding or college! Where is it written that every man has to sell all his toys and abandon his hobbies after getting married or having a child? How much could you have possibly sold that vehicle for back then? In 1989 when I was 16 I bought my first car for $750, It was a 1972 Chevelle Malibu!Mechanically it was great interior was nice with a few minor tears on the stitching on the driver side and had some minor rust on the fenders behind the the wheels as well as some minor rust on the rear quarters behind the wheels! You can’t even find a rusted out rolling chassis for that price now! I drove that car for three years and then sold it for more than I bought it for!
Most of them got sold off for a song during the gas crisis when the were not considered much and everyone was buying Toyota’s or Datson’s.
Wow this guy really knows his stuff that’s incredible loving his videos just found the channel going to do some binge watching now lol
Beautiful sweet ride! I always removed those air pump bullshit systems back in the day!
Thank you for sharing. What an amazing Chevelle. I love that color and Chris sure did an outstanding job with the restoration.
Thre sound when you opened the driver side door was beautiful!
This car would be in my bedroom!!! Like one huge model to go with my other model cars, Chevelle collection!!! Well, on an occasion I’d have to take her out and let her run a minute, snag a few gears you know.? Don’t what to let her get stoved up!! I’m drooling so bad right now! Thanks for the show!!
Pro Tip! If you want to search the comments to see if someone else mentioned the same thing, keep scrolling down so that all the comments load (it may take several trips to the bottom for all to load). THEN... "Command F" or use your browser's main menu to "Find". Then type your keywords.
I did this to find out what the strange emblem was on the front fender, located right above the turn signal. Rather than read through all the comments. I did a Find on the word "Fender" and found all 12 instances (now 13 - lol) where someone asked about this emblem. It saved me a lot of time!
Thats one awesome machine! Dream car
Dang! That car is nicer than one that rolled off the assembly line! Patrick, you are the man when it comes to chevelles. I believe you could write a restoration manual for a 1970! Great video! Thanks for sharing.
5T_Outdoors excellent point, the paint never looked that good, the dash was never that shiny, the bumpers and chrome were never that nice! And besides I thought he only did barn finds? Not restored beauties like this one? It must not be a registered vehicle for him to do a video on it
Awesome video Patrick!! I don’t know how I came about your chanel, or even that I’d consider myself a classic car guy, but I can’t get enough of these! New subscriber here 👍🏻
One word... WOW! BTW, I’m a 65 year old PIA according to my better half who more than once has called me out for being a know it all. Maybe so, but I can’t remember a single one of Patrick’s videos in which I didn’t learn something new. When it comes to muscle Chevys, he is the man.
Wow, what an absolutely gorgeous Chevelle SS. Top notch and painstakingly perfect restoration on this super rare car. Just love it. And Patrick, you sir are a wealth of knowledge. Great video.
Awesome video!
excellent review Patrick !!
That's a beautiful SS, And I sure enjoy your site here and all the awesome info, even an old jyd like me still learns a thing or 2👍
Amazing. I'd love to see that color combo with the wheels in person
What a beauty. When I was 19 I had a 1970 Monte Carlo with a 400 cu in V8 with highway gears. 90 mph in 2nd gear baby!
That car must have flew. A neighbor who was a few years older than I had one and he took me on a beat run. I’ve never been so excited and scared at the same time except for the 1st time I got laid (The car ride was better!…..and lasted longer!).
She is stunningly gorgeous!!!!
Patrick don't know how u do it but it's a beautiful find there and the detail is awesome!!!😊
Yum. Beautiful piece of automobile history. Particularly a work of art. My favorite. Staple Shifter Chevrolet console automatic. Though this one is manual.
Wow, what a great job protecting this car. Happy 50th in a few months!!! ;D
Love it just got back from Woodward ave took my 70 chevelle dream cruise coming soon
Thank you. Beautiful cars.
Hugger model seen & now this beauty SUPERB thank you for sharing...UK watcher..
Thats a killer story! Car is INSANE
That may be the nicest 70 ive seen.Love the color
Thanks for the videos
All I can say is WOW, Beautiful car
I learn something new in every video. My main area of knowledge centers around the 69 Camaro (built in Norwood, Oh). I appreciate your work with 1970 Chevelles and look forward to each new video as like i said i learn something new in every one. 🍻
deep junk garage -- I was in the Boy Scouts in 1969 we went and took a tour of the GM Norwood plant , that was awesome will never forget that.
In the Marines, we had a unique name for that plastic coating illustrated here, on the bonnet cables. We called it "quartermaster". Our brass buckles as well as the brass tip on our web belts was sealed w/that quartermaster to prevent tarnishing. It was then removed by soaking the specific items in Hoppe's #9 solvent. It completely dissolved the quartermaster. We were issued Hoppe's #9 to clean & maintain our M-14's in boot camp @ MCRDSD in the 60's.
What a find and great detail
I would love to be able to go back and be on the assembly line at GM to see these beauty's being built ,I love the chevelles .
Damn Patrick knows so much stuff about all these cars .. blows my mind...
The detailers at the dealership musta LOVED chevelles,especially this one, NICE!!!
Sir Patrick. You are amazing
