    Back in 1977 I bought a 1970 SS Chevelle 396 (402) for $800 with 70,000 original miles. It was red with white vinal top, white interior, and white skunk stripes. I took the 396/402 out of it, and got an early 70's large oval port 454 for it out of a 1-ton truck in the junk yard. I built that oval port 454 up to do 11.90's in the quarter mile.

    I towed this car home for my brother from Naselle Washington in spring of 1981. I removed the build sheet from under the left rear interior trim panel. I SWEAR that build sheet said it was a 4:10 posi car. We had a little argument about this a few months ago. I can't prove it because that build sheet got inadvertently thrown away. You'd laugh if you knew how many kittens were born in this car! Also, I don't think it's been driven since about '77 or '78 because that's about when my brother first saw it for sale. Could that be the original mileage? I believe, when I picked it up, the seller said he bought it in Astoria.

      @@raymondboczek When I picked it up for my brother, it had a blown up 327 and a M21. The current owner has called the owner previous to my brother. He thought it was a 396 car! When I picked up, the guy said, "somebody put 454 signs on it but, it was only a 396 so, I put the "right" signs on". I saw the tach and just knew it had to be an LS6 car. My boss at the time told me it was just a 375 hp 396 car so, it was junk. A friend and coworker, Lawrence Elke (RIP, Lawrence), Told me where to look for the build sheet. Found it behind the left rear interior trim panel. LS6, M22 it said! We've talked to few of the old hot rodders from the Naselle area and when the LS6 car is mentioned they all say, "There's never been an LS6 car in Naselle". Little did they know. Only a little ways from this car, my second cousin had a red w/ black stripes and interior LS5 car. Another friend bought it down in Portland and found a bunch of old registrations over the visor. Some were from my second cousin! That car got sold several times and a drug dealer in California was having it restored when he got busted. Car ended up in Washougal,WA. and got on the cover of Super Chevy magazine.

    I had a friend of mine in 1977 78 seniors in high school had a 70 beautiful car it was orange with white stripes and white interior. It was a automatic car. Between his car and my 67 400 4 speed Firebird which I still own today we were awesome. When he graduated out of school he join the military I begged him not to sell the car to keep it put it in storage he did anyway a week later the guy that bought the car totaled it. Daniel was a good guy May of 2011 he was laid to rest also in the same day and the same Funeral Home my dad was laid to rest. Daniel died too young but every time I see a 70 or get in my 67 I think of him.

I was just a little kid in the 80s and I decided after I saw the flapper open and all hell broke loose I had to have a 70 chevelle 1 day. Back then everyone had muscle cars but I was a mouthy little kid and I told everyone that the 70 ls6 chevelle was the baddest bitch on the planet!!!! The Mopar kids would run their mouths about that ugly shit they liked but the ford kids stayed quiet!!!! That car sure takes me back to my childhood.

    You know that car is a real '70s survivor, from that trailer hitch on it!😄 Love them white interiors in them old A bodies! Think I'd rather have a bare roof on that car though - white vinyl tops can make a car look really clean, but sometimes they're just too much. Lemans or one of the lighter blues would work better for me, but I'd rather have the Fathom Blue lower and upper.

    Missing original motor and trans ? Kinda makes it a Run of the mill SS

      Definitely not. All real LS6 will always be LS6. Over 90% in existence aren’t retaining their original engine and transmission.

    Were the LS6 cars the only ones to originally have the inside of the SS emblems red?

      They were never red. Always white

      The SS was white but the 454 call-out was red IIRC.

      @@patrickglennnicholsmusclec1674 I guess I should've been more specific when asking my question. At 4:45 in the video, the emblem on the right fender clearly shows the 454 call out and the numbers are red in the center. That's what I was asking about. Sorry for any confusion.

    Doesn’t a restoration lose some of its luster without the original drive train?

    Not having the original engine and transmission ruins it for me. Seeing these cars with non matching engines and trans is a dime dozen

      Exactly.

    What is a CRV rear axle , as you specified it ? , you could easily confirm a posi rear end with a visual examination and count the teeth on ring gear to do the math for rear end drive ratio. No big deal. I doubt most were built with a 4:10 final ratio. Low 3’s is UC more likely. Decode the evidence tags and markers I came close to buying a fake SS El Camino one time. The aftermarket modifications set me into looking and checking everything I could check that got . me looking hard and checking everything else I could see. Sad that people lie and produce frauds
