I don't think anyone in you tube land does the job on documenting these cars as you. Thanks for the attention to the facts. Your depth of knowledge is amazing. Keep them coming please!!
Here here! Thank you Patrick Glen Nichols for these incredible videos!!!
I just extracted a 70 0ld Cutlass out of a field. I noticed there was a 70 chevelle also. Oh yeah just remembered I put them there last year when I moved out of California LOL. Going back next month to get the chevelle. Both cars are finally going to be placed indoors for the first time owning them. They are my first two cars I’ve ever owned. I’m retired now and finally going to start working on them. Thanks for your hard work finding and documenting these cars. They are a real treasure.
Fantastic rundown and history of this beautiful old girl Patrick, top work mate.
Fantastic find (though I'm partial to bucket seat 4speed console).
Would love to see it post restoration.
RIP peace sir, thank you for keeping it around.
I’m a chevelle owner and I appreciate all your videos I’ve learned a lot thanks to you. Thank you
Imagine being a young man back in 1969, and ordering a 1970 Chevelle SS...waiting...waiting, then picking it up, driving around with a brand new 1970 Chevelle SS...thinking about it makes me sad...I was just a young kid back then...I wish I could have experienced that.
Yes, that or I would like to have driven a brand new 70 Hemi Cuda also. I was a kid back then not old enough to even get my driver's license.
Thanks for the hard work on these old cars...I’ve owned my 70 chevelle since 1984 and am always learning from your videos.
Glad to see the car not sitting in a field. Very cool car!
Patrick, you are the man....you love Chevelles, as I do, and I appreciate that, and I hope other do to!
Just a short note on the jacking instruction decal. I took photos of everything on our 70 SS before repaint. Had big problems finding the original style decal but by chance I looked in 1969 SS Nova and there it was! Yes ours is Feb built KC car. The jack decals are different for standard wheels. Now if I can locate a proper date coded Left mirror! Somehow that got away from me. Don't know how, but have had SS for over 48 years, 2nd owner with documentation with all original sheet metal! And yes Patrick, it is red with black stripes! Thanks for finding and giving us these stories.
“Restore what’s there”. Perfectly stated. Too many folks are unwilling to do that. It’s hard work yet it makes all the difference when finished. That Chevelle is a rare find. Complete and original. Thanks for posting.
Nice find Patrick these 70’s are getting harder to find.
Well done Patrick, great video
I
Perfect car to redo in a reasonable manor, and drive and enjoy it. Perfect car for trips to where ever.
I like how You do Your Work ! I like how You let the Owner extract the build sheet from the rear seat too . Very exciting and rivetingly dramatic ! As much as , I , wanted to look away , I , just could not shut the video off ! Enjoyed the whole experience throughout 💓 " Heart Pounding " " Jaw Clinching " " High Adrenaline Ride " for sure ! Dude ! Son ! ! ! Thanks again Mr Patrick 😁 👍 Totally Awesome Job .... Take care of Yourself Brother ! " God Bless You " & " God Bless America " !
@@stephenpearce9301 Greetings Please , allow me to thank You for Your reply Stephen . Happy driving Your dreams forward with Your prized possession Muscle Car ! Car Guy , You've got what others can only dream of ( that includes me too ) . Hopefully , I , can have a Chevelle with Big Block to own & drive someday . It's on My list 😁 ! Enjoy Brother , You've , " struck gold "
I love this stuff. Great car. My friend Jeff who I bought my first 91 ZR1 from still has a 70 LS6 454 auto trans car. It's the cranberry red and originally had a white vinyl top. At some point early on it got a replacement block. The car was driven at Englishtown back in the early 70's and was local to the area. He's had it since the late 90's . He use to take it to a few local shows but rarely drives it now.
That's a fine one there ! Really like getting to hear the knowledge you have on these cars .
Another fantastic presentation. I had a '70 L34 4speed back in 1985, I love your work, Thank you Patrick!!
You sir definitly know what ur talking about with these classic finds! Another great video keep them coming!
Just amazing...alot of bullshit "car guys" on YT w/millons of Subs...but you my friend are the epitome and definition of a "Car Guy". Your passion is infectious and deserve not only more Subs but a "time slot" with Graveyard Cars!
Thank you Sir.
I wish there was a show like Graveyard Cars with only Chevelles & Camaros,Patrick would make a great host,guy knows his stuff👍
Absolutely, Patrick has "it" when it comes exuberating his Passion for the Bowtie Muscle.
8's and Aces I really appreciate your kind words sir. I’m just out here having fun and trying to bring you guys along with me. I appreciate all the subscribers I have and any assistance I can receive to locate more. Thanks again.
Thank you Patrick for another great video. I am a Corvette guy, and I enjoy your attention to the details of the vehicles that you find! Hat's off to you Patrick. Job and discovery well done!
Glenn, I’m so satisfied and please when you identify the facts correctly which you are the master. The depth of your Chevelle knowledge is impressive and satisfying! I’ve owned nine 1967 Chevelle SS’s , first one in 1974 while my older brother had at least 30 of them, his first in 1970. I’ve seen literally dozens of unmolested originals and have had 3 of my 9 from original owners. Point is that I know 67’s as well as most and see the inaccuracies that abound. It’s just great to listen to your contributions and i appreciate your dedication and hard work! Nicely done Sir
Thanks so much for the kind words. I spend hours researching these facts and always passionate about bringing more insight to my channel for my viewers.
I love the color combo. I'm convinced there's more red w/black stripes 70 SS chevelles in existence today, than what left the factories. Sort of boring to go to a car show. And see nothing but red chevelles. Bucket seats with console shift automatic on brand new cars is so derivative now, i prefer the clean and simple look of a bench and column selector on older cars.
Yes I agree!! I sure wish people would put the car back to what the factory put on the car!! As rare as these cars are. Too many paint conversions and interior makeovers changing the color and changing from bench to buckets and console!!
Seems like an abundance of people stored their classic muscle cars in the 80's. Problem is they didn't store them correctly.
So many of them stored them in either the backyard, or the edge of the driveway. So many around my area that the owner was "Going to restore someday". Most famously a red split window Corvette that sat on the tires until they rotted to shreds - I'm up in the snow belt. I used to check on the five(!) 340 Swingers I would see riding the school bus- they were on the road but already well rusted (1979)
Exactly dude!! They need to Google in how to a prized ride for the long term!!
@@MrOnemanop yeah, a guy out here in gloucester Va had an unmolested 71 duster 340 parked under a tree in his front yard since 84. just exposed wouldn't put a cover over it or nothing just let it pack up full of tree debris and leaves. Dude wouldn't sell it for anything he was always "I'm going to fix it soon kind of bullshit." Then he died a couple years ago and the house was sold and that car and a few other cars he had in this yard we're just gone one day. I sure as hell hope somebody saved that 71 though cuz it was complete original with original paint and 340/4spd.
It breaks my heart to think that it might have gone to the crusher I just surely hope not 🤦♀️
"Not rare" maybe back in the day, try to find a numbers matching all there car like this and you'll find it is 2019 rare. It's in amazing shape for a Gulf Coast car. That car should be restored. Anything less or different would be a criminal act.
True Survivor, many would add console and bucket seats and floor shifter and paint it RED and add black, white or red interior, like many imposters do, leave them like they were please
True car guy loved that car hope the new owner bring her Beck to get former glory and restore it as she is
I love what you do in these broadcast! The history of production procedures and the caretakers who own them. I love any car from the muscle car era and own several awesome cars myself. If possible would ever consider covering early Trans Am cars? For me preferably 70 1/2 the John DeLorean inspired car. Your thoroughness in the way you go through the cars would be an asset to my restoration.
Thank you Tim
Nice 70 chevelle..really tight
.good restore project..L.34 396
....no snow on it..no damage.
Most informative. Don't have any of the info but i bought a '70 in 1986 with a long speedometer and console W/bucket seats. Weirdly it had Front Drum brakes and black Vinyl top. Original motor was removed and a 350 4bbl was installed. This was in the Fairfield/Vacaville Ca area. I actually went back in 1992 and saw it. The new owner was restoring her. I was glad. Anywho, thanks for the very intuitive video!!!
Patrick, it would be super cool if you could hunt down non-ss big block chevelles. You could order it that way. And most people have forgotten the Chevelle 400 model in 1970. It wasn't an displacement tag, it was a model designation like galaxy 500. I think i've only ever seen one and it was at a car show. A lot of people ignored it because it wasn't an SS car, but it had a factory LS-5. Reminds me of a super chevy show i went to in 94 or 95. There was a beautiful 2 door gold on gold base model chevelle with inline 6 and 3 on the tree. This car was the most perfect car at the show. Had all the right paint marks, even bad original 14" hub caps. The owner lit a lot of time and money in that restore. He won best in class. There we quite a few chevelle owners that day upset and flabbergasted. Even had one vocally complain it wasn't even a big block car. It was a nice car plain and simple.
I know someone who has an original LS6 just like this one. Very cool car and thanks for showing it to us.
Interesting video. I find it curious that a Kansas City car would be delivered to an Atlanta dealer when there was a Chevelle plant in Atlanta. Any theories on that? Too bad the car had a repaint, because it would have been interesting to see if the stripes were squared off as many KC cars are or rounded like all the repop stencils are today.
The "Golden Ram" decals on both rear windows were aftermarket glass pack mufflers that sound fantastic on the 396. My brother bought a new 69 SS396 in Burnished brown and put those mufflers on his. He put the decal on his tool box.
i love those 70 ss 396 a/c cars you find esp when they are 4-speed.
How much did you pay for this classic beauty? We really want to know what these cars are worth, what it costs to restore them and some after the restoration pictures.
AWESOME as usual, Thanks for sharing . Keep up the excellent work.
Very nice.I changed the tail light lenses on my 70 Chevelle but kept the original flat lenses.
Once again great video Patrick . I always look forward to your new videos . God bless
Great Alabama SS..!! This one is a keeper for a restoration..!!!!!
Very cool unique car..deserves a restoration. love the owner history and pics. Thanks for sharing. Another excellent video.👍
that build sheet is opure GOLD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! look inback buckets for another 1
Man, this is sweet !!! Good stuff , Glenn 👌🏻. I wonder how much something like would cost to restore back to new .
$50K
I would not say 50 remember this car is not that rusty and there is a lot of hard to find parts that are still in place. I would say 30 35
@@JohnsonT2724 yeah...It's 50 grand
Travis Johnson great point ! 30-35 seems fair . seems to be a worthy candidate ... let’s hope !
Yes!! Gobi beige. Finally! Had a 4 speed L34 50 over50 similar to this one.
One of my favorite cars! Love your vids!
What a crazy color combo
Thinking back, I was 6 years old when this car was made. Thinking about what I was doing then....A better time for sure
the best style Patrick ! Thank You
Owner doesn't have the capital to restore it. It'll just rust away.
Where did you get the build sheet?
Oshawa cars are behind the back seat
Great job Patrick
Damnit Glen, now I have to go see the date codes on my father in laws brake drums. And yes I would highly agree to restore every nut bolt, emblems,trim pieces , try your best to not open a catalog and if you have to, do some research and buy quality stuff, there is a lot of junkie restoration parts out there, good luck, paint it the same color and you'll be the only one at the car show. ✌💪
Love your documentary work glenn.thanks a ton for sharing
You do fantastic work!!!
GREAT FIND, Love the color, I have a 1970 gobi beige monte, black top, black cloth interior..
That’s a really neat color combo with the gold top!
Nothing better than a 1970 Chevelle! 😊
70 chevelle 454 king of the street back then lol
Bad ass survivor Patrick thanks for the video
Terrible color combo but nice complete SS
I hope someday someone calls you about there 1970 AMC/AMX!!
Looking for 1968 A.M.X. All matching numbers came out with 390 motor four speed trans 390 rear.
great car ! cool vid ! thanks for sharing … did you mention mileage if so sorry I missed it just curious.. nice property there too.. shout out to the original owner !!!!!!!
Even though it is going to be restored, who here besides me would have loved to see Patrick do a "first start" video on this car? I'd bet 50 bucks it would fire up and run.
Beautiful car love chevelles
I remember in around 1985 people would just stop driving these cars because of the unleaded gas. It's not a good thing to use cheap unleaded on these. They were built for the 110 Ethel and others
You can tell Mr. Pearce cared alot for this car. RIP.
Pgn, great video!!
Ha thanks for sharing with us. I like to see these BIG GM CARS. There my favorites kind
Thanks for the show
Back in 85 you could have bought this car for around $1,000 to $2,000. How I wish I could go back in time. I’ve kicked my butt for not buying the muscle cars.
I used to live maybe a mile from where they were building these cars. By the eighties they were pretty much done, and the whole neighborhood went to hell quick.
I got out after walking to the Quicktrip store one morning for a cup of coffee, and noticed a trail of blood, that became a pool of blood in front of every door along the way.
I never found out what happened or if the person died, but that was a severe blood loss, so probably not. It's sad what happens to communities when major employers leave, without any effort to replace the business with something else
What city was that? they were built in 7 different places..flint,mi ,Kansas,Baltimore, van nuys, Arlington ,Atlanta & Oshawa .....where was the city that went to crap? I’m guessing flint, or Atlanta ,GA
@@toddprater14 The Leeds plant. Kansas City Missouri
@@onusgumboot5565 thanks.....I live in Michigan ,suburbs of southeast of Detroit. When gm left flint that city turned to shit too.if ya go on google and punch in flint,mi... where Chevy in the hole was it’s all just massive slabs of cement. Then if you look a bit more north of there , there are more massive slabs of cement running along industrial road...I’m a gm guy (51) never worked at any ,but after researching gm plants and going on google. It is severely depressing to see what once was.... over 90,000 people worked there at one time.
@@toddprater14 I never worked at the plant either. I'm 52 by the way. Northeast K.C. was a pretty good neighborhood when the plant was running. Big two, and three story houses. Upper middle class you might say.
By the time I was there, most of the houses were turned into apartments. Street gangs were a problem. I knew it was time to go when I walked the 4 or 5 blocks from my house to the Quicktrip store to get a cup of coffee, and there was a trail of blood going down the street, and a pool of blood in front of every door.
thanks patrick another great video sir i would love to have this sweet 70
My el camino ruted back window by april 1973. Being built. In june 1973
You really know the details. I'm with a 79 dodge van. Getting details seems difficult.
Nothing remarkable about your van bub
Patrick a cool car that would be cool to do another video after it is restored!
Just found a 1970 Nova in Gobi Beige all original in northern california. It is now at my house.
Long live the 70 chevelle SS . And all the great muscle cars
There's a white LS5 not fare from there,wants 12thousand for it,but its rusty under the black top.
Is the mouse (at 1:33) washing behind it's ears as it sits on the inner hood brace between the brace and the bulge in the hood "standard equipment on this car" or is the mouse a later addition? LoL At first I thought the car was going to have "a mouse motor" or small block!!
Do all cars have a hold sheet hiding in them somewhere? Fascinating. Thank you for another great video, Patrick!
Most do!! It depends on the model as where they stashed em!! I have 71 Nova SS all original. I am told they stuck the build sheet on the Novas under the carpet.
Adrian Tomlin wow, really cool. Something so cool about these old cars
@@DanniTheMagicJunkDrawer for sure man! If the cars could only talk?!
what a shame , the dude owned this car for 40 years and didn't drive it very long and it sat .......
Wow, nice car, any good fish frys out there?
Awesome find!
Good work patrick..!
When you get a new brake rotor for that year does it come as a two piece or is the replacement a one piece?
She’s a Beauty!!
My question is; Would the purchased price of this car, (what's its value) plus the cost of restoration to original condition, exceed the restored value? What would be the return on investment if you did not do it yourself?
column shift i don't see that to often.
Man,this car is my unicorn. If I could just go back and order it with buckets and a console.
My second week of January Kansas car has the flat taillight reverse area lenses
‘Near the gulf coast” are the key words, it’s a rust bucket
So here we go!
Great Job.
Heya Patrick. I've got a customer who has an original 454 SS El Camino sitting in his garage that he bought when he got out of the military from Vietnam that you might like to take a look at. Doyle, the owner, is a great guy and the car....well, it's your favorite Garnet Red. He's up in years and I don't see the car ever getting completed by him, but would make for an interesting look see. I'm in Muncie Indiana (yes, THAT Muncie where the infamous transmissions were built). If interested, check my TH-cam page for my Facebook contact link. Hope ot hear from you and maybe we can talk Doyle into letting you do a walk around the car. Cheers! Zip~
To Mr. Pierce!
I’m attracted to rust maybe because I’m from rust belt love it
there must be hundreds and hundreds of these things left .
Oh hell I think so!!
I love that car.......wish it was mine
Did this one end up at Volo, restored without the stripes?
**Circle Of Life **MR. Pearse from SS to a Golf cart.Always driving. RIP.(it up).
You document and authenticate to the best of your ability which is very good. I notice some commenter trolls dispute everything and expect miracles for nothing. Lol
I’m 1 County east of where that car was purchased.
Thank you 😊
I did enjoy thanks.
