On “My Car Story” we're in Rosemont IL at the Muscle Car and Corvette Nationals on 11-20-15.
We’re looking at a 1970 Chevrolet Chevy Chevelle SS 454 LS6 engine, ALL original and unrestored with only 4305 original miles on the car. Today we start up the engine and discuss details.
The car's Owner is David Beem. David’s heard rumors of “The Urban Legend” unrestored low mileage Chevelle SS 454 with a LS6 motor that was sitting since the 1970’s, but No one had seen the car. However….one day he was introduced to Cory Peterson (who’s in the video), the Salesman of the “Rumored Car” and Cory knew where the car was stored, and was kind enough to share it with David. And as the story is told, here is the “Rumored Car”.

"Survivor" doesn't do this Chevelle justice. Definitely the most pristine unrestored car have ever seen in person that was not in a museum. Great car Dave.
+B Greenard I think this car was bought and put in a soft blanket :-) Lou
there’s a 67 corvette I saw a few years back on Barrett Jackson that was a bit better ... if that’s even possible
praise the fake L.S. car it is just a ss they are lying about the car , L.S. never built a Big block and they look nothing like a bb chevy
I don't know what banana boat you fell off of ..a ls6 is a big block and yes it is a true ss if you don't know what your talking about don't comment or just don't click on the site
Love it. I have a burgundy 68 chevelle ss, 396 four speed.
Hi Jamey, Happy to read you "Love it" :-) Glad to read you have a cool car too, Lou
Unbelievable. Great video.

Yea it's possible I believe it , it was on 4 jack stands and under two car covers what a beauty I would sleep next to her every night WOW
Hi Gerod Evans, Glad you enjoyed this one and received a "WOW" from you :-) Thank you for viewing and sharing. Hope you see many more cars on the Channel you'll enjoy, Lou
why no tach?
Tach was an option back then. This car is a bare bones SS LS6.
Not sure.
because it is not a ss car or a ls with out the ls engine
I know a few people who would pay quite a large sum of money to own this piece of muscle car history (with that mileage. Unbelievable!! Because it’s all original with low miles, this is one of The Best cars I’ve viewed on your program. Thx again Lou!
Hi Brady Dog, High praise for this car :-) My pleasure sharing this one with you, and you're welcome, Lou
And drive the damn thing...
Changed the oil...
Take it to a drag strip and let it live life as it was built for
4300 miles 1/4 at a time.
Sammy B interestingly, that was what I really like about early days:: had a 62 (?)CATALINA SPECIALS SD421,FORDS SS/427 55/56 BELAIRS DRAG ; come thru our High School,Hangout SERVICE STATION (( no such INSTITUTION NOW)), with Factory exhaust Cut outs, etc & a few others Drove to,Strip ( US30, Bunker Hill, Avilla, INDIANA) on SAT & SUNDIES for DRAGS........ETC.

When I was a kid our neighbor bought one just like this brand new for use as a family car. Between the payments, the cost of insurance and the amount of gas it burned combined with the temptation to use the 450 horsepower, they didn’t have it long. I remember riding in it. At the time nothing was faster.
Hi Dave, Happy to read this car brings back memories of your neighbors car :-) Thank you for viewing and sharing, Lou
NO Stripes, gauges, tach, or cowl hood with 4 spd and cloth bench seat is whats shocking........Has to be one of one!!
Hi Mrrat1, Those are good points, thank you for viewing and sharing, Lou
Yes, as Corey explained in the beginning, it was ordered just for the engine, originally to put in a gasser.
Bench seats were standard in all of these cars. Black is the rarest of all colors. 19 19
Are they cloth or all vinyl? Low option kinda backs up the story of ordering it for the motor. Is it the original motor, or did he use the LS6 in the Gasser and put a low hp motor back in it. Very carefully. Beautiful car! Set up like a Chevy Road Runner, as in all go with no luxury options except power brakes. I love it. Thanks for posting it Lou.
That means it is real rare!! A stripped down SS really rare!!
Lol! A friend of mine bought a 1970 ls6 ss chevelle back in 87 for $4000 ! Pump the gas twice and the front wheels would lift off the ground. For some reason it had a bench seat and column shift. He traded it in a couple years later towards a turbo coupe thunderbird!!🤣🤣🤣

this is a fake L.S. car they never built a big block l.s. in history they all are small blocks
@@jeffrey4547
Take a look at the factory engine options for 1970!
@@jackd2083 70 what the chevelle ss ls 6 model it only came with 2 different engines one a ls 6 the other is a ls 7 neither one is a big block chevy because ls never built a big block in history 6 stands for a 454 the 7 stands for a 427 small block that is a fact and the ss came with the 454 ho big block 450 hp at 485 torque . i have 2 454 ho's and a ls 6 454 they don't even look close way different engines ls looks nothing like a chevy engine and who better to know what was put in them but ls witch did the work , u can go to ls web sight they have a thing on the 70 chevelle .ss ls cars . u need to read it because u will see how stupid most of these people are and u will know more then them . the guy doing the video doesn't know his ass from a hole in the ground . i am tired of these people getting people ripped off because they have no idea what they are doing the guy has no idea what a ls engine looks like this tells me he has never built or worked on cars that is a fact . but u can keep listen to lies if u want
I don't think I would have started the engine without first changing all fluids. Oil breaks down after years of sitting, much to valuable a car to chance doing damage to this beauty. Very happy for you, it's a beautiful piece of history, good luck with it.
Hi Joseph M, Glad you enjoyed this "beautiful piece of history" :-) Hope you see many more cars on the Channel you'll enjoy, Lou
Thank you I did, and look forward to more.
what this fake L.S. car
@@jeffrey4547 You sound like a hater
Guy owns a body shop and couldn't even get the swirls out of the paint before showing it off... Great car, but at the same time such a waste, spent decades up on jackstands under blankets...DRIVE the damn thing, thats what it was built for!
HI Andrew C, It's clear you like driving them, and I do too, however this ones "special" because it's a survivor. Anyway, there are many cars on the Channel and I hope you find many you like, Lou
The original owner did the right thing, he saved it. Unknown his initial plans once purchased but at this point, an unrestored original authentic SS would be valued very close to the 100k mark. Why? It's all original assembly line parts...no replacements from the local parts house.
No doubt, it's a waste to lock a car away in a room when the car was built to be driven! The Chevrolet Chevelle is my favorite car.
go fuck your self
You can drive it only if you're willing to kill a unicorn
What drives me crazy is if you're going to buy one and keep it for 50 years get one with more options. I can live with no AC but dummy lights!. Still a beautiful car. At this point there's no point in driving it just loses value. I rather have a clone I could drive the piss out off.

Same here ! 69' BU" Gutted out interior, Plexiglass Windows, 5-point Roll cage, Moon tank in the rear with the battery no battery Box lolol. It did 12.20's with a mild cam and the 850 double pumper. Came with a Weiand Tunnel Ram where you could bolt on the single or dual Carbs. Last time it ran was when I had the single top on with the Holley 850 DP. Blew the rear intake manifold oil Valley seal, and I did not re-install the Wipers !! I got a motor and the wiper mechanism just too busy Racing around lol Same with the Moroso oil pan evacuation system ( could've prevented the blown manifold seal. My first Car my first drag Car Lolol made it Street legal in Theodore Roosevelt High Auto Shop !! God Bless shop Teacher Mr. Reagan !! Wish I could go back in time !!!!! And start it all over again Lolol Jefferson Starship song !!! I'm gonna go cry now then watch some more Racing !!
i paid my neighbor $600 for a black on black 69 chevelle SS, bench seat, factory 3 speed in 1976. it was smoking bad and fouling plugs, so me and my buddy pulled the heads, had a valve job done on them, the valve seals were crumbling, put the heads back on, pulled into the street and smoked the tires for a city block. back in the 70's you could buy anything that is gold now, engines blown, trans ripped out, parts were plentiful, only if i would have known.

That is just mind blowing that the car hasn't been driven since 73 ... I would have been so tempted to drive it from time to time over the years if I owned it... I always thought that all SS CHEVELLES came with the stripes on the hood and trunk...
Hi Mike, Happy to share this car with you :-) I like driving them, so I would have driven it, Lou
Glad to see someone knew what they had and went the extra miles to preserve!
Happy that we're getting the chance to video and share this one too :-)
@@loucostabile would love to just see in real life doubt ill ever own one this authentic.
sure hope they changed out that engine oil back then oil was ALL ORGANIC and it does go rancid! it stores well sealed but once you open it and run it, mix all that air in it.. yea, 4-5 years its BAD, remember its organic

Hi ra5gto, Thank you for viewing & sharing your thoughts. Hope you see many more cars on this TH-cam Channel you enjoy, Lou
rebuilt fake no ls engine no tack means one big fake
I would put a few miles on it ...💯💯
1/4 mile at a time..let that car live and drive it at a dragstrip..best chevelles ever built ls6s
That car is begging to be taken to tje limit
Hi Sammy B., I like driving them too, however with the uniqueness of so few miles, I can understand why the Care Taker would want to keep low miles on it. Thank you for viewing and sharing your thoughts, Lou
to bad this is a fake for fact
So the original owner couldn’t buy a 454 directly from the dealer for his gasser, so he bought the Chevelle so he could obtain the engine that way. Hmmmmmm.......
I guess so.
Taking the engine out is one way to keep the miles low on the car....lol
Either way, beautiful car.
it is a fake no tack not even a ss and they have no idea what a ls looks like bb chevy it has to be a ls
This is my "Holy Grail" 🙌🙌🙌
AMEN !
What a find! Factory tires even, talk about a Detroit unicorn. I'm totally impressed 👍

Hi LS6-SS, Happy to read you have some fun Chevelle's too :-) Lou
if ur 70 chevelle has a big block in it it not a L.S. car they never built a big block in history if u got the real L.S. engine then u would know that this car is no L.S. engine in it and it is a fake so what does this tell me about u .

@@jeffrey4547 wow
@@larrynapier5003 i hope u don't think it is a LS 6 454 i can tell u the history and what LS stands for
What a wonderful car however to me this is a " preserved" car. A true survivor car has been driven and driven and enjoyed yet still looks good.
Thank you for viewing and sharing your knowledge.
Lou Costabile p
I have one of those!! A 71 Nova SS 350 with 350 turbohydramatic. All original. Had a repaint two years ago. Yes I drive mine around town. I also show it too. It doesn't have all the tags still on it because I drive it!!
nope it was rebuilt and it is a fake it don't even have a tack or a ls engine so it is no ls or a ss
Thanks, seem true.....understandably some
PEOPLE like “preserved, “seems like could be a lot of work/Finesse to for a TRUE PRESERVATION... I kind OF LEAN, TO OEM preferring SURVIVORS( though , INTERESTINGLY, the horrible brakes( even Putting DUAL Master cylinders, equipment safety / fluids) ..... some of my cars (54 FORD (axtually, . lose brakes if damp),61 & 66 FORD XL, I had go to METALLIC BRAKES , &. COOLANT RECOV SYS,etc).....
That was my first car. Except mine was a 396, boy does that bring back memories. All black no stripes, no cowl hood, 4 speed bench seat. As someone already pointed out
the door panels said malibu mine were SS also no tach or clock. They don' show it well but the front seat looked funny to me, mine was all vinyl this one looked like it had cloth in it.
Notice the exhaust manifolds and water pump hoses still had orange paint on them. It looked like the posi rear end sticker in the trunk was gone. Nice car.
Hi Humble Wisdom, Happy to read this car / video brings back memories of your 2st car :-) Thank you for viewing and sharing, Lou
don't worry it is a fake ls car
👍🔥😎🔥👍
:-)
I hope they changed the oil....and I believe they were actually 500 HP
I'm sure they changed the oil :-)
if it is not a fake ls car but this car is a fake
SUPER SWEET RIDE 😘✌️
Nice :-)
True time capsule
Well said :-)
He started it with 50 year old oil?
Hmmm, didn't think of that.
If you listen closely, he said "Had the original oil when we got it". So I would think for sure, he changed it...
I know Really ???? LOLOLOLHAHA
Check out Muscle Car of the Week. The Brothers collection has a red LS6 with under 50 miles on it. These cars are only original once. They are great tools for people restoring cars to see how they left the factory. I would prefer something I can drive also. But appreciate these time capsules back to another era. I would have been riding the school bus passing cars like these and your eyes would go right to them. Just think what you could have bought in the late seventies as these cars were not considered more than a used vehicle. I need a time machine.
Hi David Davis, Thank you for viewing, sharing, and I hope you're behind the wheel of your time machine soon, Lou
if it has a big block chevy it is no LS car
4k miles in 50 years.. a really new ss. chevelle..1970.
Hi randy jones, Thank you for viewing & sharing, Lou
Yeah..change the oil...it did not sound that wild....dual snorkel 325.air breather.air pump..rare car to see..its a La.made car or Kansas city made thru utah.

I'm speechless... Absolute gold!
:-)
Hey guys, nobody cares...I grew up in the muscle car days, I had a 67 GTO, 4 speed. It was quick so I thought, until I purchased a SS 396 375HP 4 speed Nova. The thing I remember the most about those days besides the whine of a Muncie is the sound of the 8 track and the smell of my GF hair..while helping her take her off...Yes, those cars were fun, but today, the youth is more concerned about the next generation of I Phone..Our time has come and gone...
....and yet Darthgrundle having this Channel on TH-cam (their platform, ours would be TV) maybe I can convince a few of our youth how much fun we had with these cars. Lou
Sounds so Freakin Quite ! Imagine if it had Headers ! That is so funny,,,no tech or gauges,, like as if it came from Flint Michigan !!! LOLOLOLHAHA

Hi Opera, Glad you think this one is "interesting" :-) Thank you for viewing, and sharing your thoughts on the tires, Lou
it's a fake l.s. car
The 70 LS-6 could not beat my 70 Challenger 440 6-bbl 4 speed 410s from dead stop from second gear roll and or anywhere in between a friend of my Cozen installed headers because I had headers thinking that would do it to beat me, Nope that did not help Well maybe a little we all 3 went and Chipped in to buy the Chevelle some LR-60 15 Radials because that was what I was running for a Rear Tire well it helped him a Little More But No matter what we all Did the LS-6 bone stock except for Headers like my 440 challenger I still out ran the Chevelle and would beat him By a Finder every time so this Guys Statement of the Chevelle being the Fastest Muscle Car of the 70 Eria is In accurate Sorry and I am a Chevy Guy and Love the 70 Challenger also.

I cringed when he started it after saying it had the original oil in it. Anyone who knows anything about cars knows that is just plain stupid. Even moreso doing it with such a rare car like this. It's sad the owner doesn't know enough to take care of a piece of automotive history like this.

'hasn't been driven since 1973' ??? --- there's something to be said about how sad that is, these cars need to be DRIVEN, roar down the road, open that engine up for God's sake! not enjoying a car like this is a sin, and when you're gone somebody else sure as hell will be opening it up on the road.....
I like driving them too.
I like driving them too.
this is a rebuilt fake no tack no ls engine means one big fake
@@jeffrey4547 well lots of these cars were ordered 'no frills' to tac's or stripes etc...
people just keep the options at the minimum the engine is all that's really important if you're a muscle car lover --- plus the VIN# will confirm if it is or isn't a true SS
Thank You , Lou, Avery bad boy! In 1969 my dad bought Mercedes Benz's. Three MB's in six weeks! The MB 300SEL 6.3 had just been introduced, same as a American car. Medium size car with big V8, high horsepower and torque! Unfortunately not the car my dad bought! Dad bought basically same car, but with the inline fuel injected six, the car had been designed for originally? Dad tried the 6.3 but thought it was way too much power. In 1972 my dad bought my sister and I a BMW 3.0 liter Bavaria. 0 to 60 in six seconds, I was Happy! I never knew American car manufacturers were build road rockets for a lot less MONEY. Sorry for running on, but you must be getting use to me by now? Very HappY THIS CAR WILL BE PRESERVED! Peter Brooks.

I love how all these unrestored muscle cars are coming out the wood work now that this barn find stuff is the trend i think alot of it is bs ppl are stamping blocks and the 1970 chevelle is the easiest car to clone and call original ooops now the cats out the bag i guess i better make a video of my 12 original mile ls7 70 chevelle the only one ever made i swear it !!!!
Hi Taylor desmond, Sounds like you have a great car :-) Looking forward to seeing the video. Lou
@@loucostabile lol they never made a ls7 chevelle it was a joke and to be clear i wasnt attacking your video its a really nice car !!! I was just commenting on the trends that always come out with car guys as you may see doing these videos ... Everyone now has a barn find numbers matching car of course untill the next phase comes out theres more 70 chevelle ss these days than chevy made thats all im saying anyways nice car nice video
i thought it was funny too no tack means not a ss no ls engine not a ls
@@taylordesmond9809 1970 chevelle ss l.s. 6 454 small block and a l.s. 7 427 small block both were used in the 70 chevelle just they only built 6 with the ls 7 and this car is a fake i can be fact checked at ls web sight
@@jeffrey4547 🤣🤣🤣. Another expert wannabe. What a poser
Beautiful, except, stripes no biggie, but the cowl induction would've been perfect.
I wonder if this car is 4 sale or sitting in a collection?. I'd own it and drive it.
Thank you for viewing and sharing your thoughts.
and u would get ripped off because it is a fake LS car and with no tack it makes it a fake ss car
Nice car, but I'm just curious why you have a link for people to support you? Why would I want to send you money just so you can post videos on TH-cam? It's ridiculous. Just get a job
Dear Mr. C, Seeing you support "Utilitarian Trail Blazer" video then I'm guessing you don't know those people who are Pioneers cutting through the brush. Do you or Christians support them even though you don't know them? Same on Patreon. If you pay a cable bill monthly your paying Actors and cables companies you don't know to provide you TV. Why not pay a TH-cam Creator like me you might like who's running around the USA to share cars with you so you can enjoy in your home a free car show. Do you think it's not a job? Note to self I have 4 jobs (and rental property in Scottsdale), and check me out on LinkedIn, I'm probably the hardest worker you know :-) Stay well, Lou
plus they are a lying about the car it is a fake no ls no tach not even a ss car
No cowl induction hood pins stripes tach gotta be only one
Thank you for viewing and sharing.
People I don’t know why you keep cringing on the whole “original oil in the engine “thing being in the car when he bought it. Let’s get to reality, I’m sure all the fluids have already been changed before ever he even started driving the chevelle down the road for the first time.

@@loucostabile this was nice, had a 70 ss 454 4 speed .sold it for $500 in 79 lol
What a car!!! My favorites are survivors!
Hi Bob Silver, We have a Winner! :-) Glad you enjoyed this one, Lou
How is the fluid not bad or the brakes master cylinder
Hmmm, Not sure.
@@loucostabile I am that story doesn't add up. I'm a mechanic none of it . Plus you would flush all the fluids out before you started it been sitting for 50 years . The whole he didn't wash it is b.s. Someone kept that car and maintenance up . No way cover up or not .
Please go get Patrick Glenn Nichols to describe that gem!
Thank you for viewing & sharing.

Hi cee dee, Thank you for viewing and sharing, Lou
PLEASE someone give that paint some loving detail.
Yes needs a clay bar for sure!
Clay bar won't do no good. It old crappy laquer and it will take a repaint to make that black nice!! Black paint is very unforgiving.
:-0
Not even a Tach? Wow!
You'd have to see the build sheet unless it was special order, no ls6 came with out a tach. It had a high performance 6500 red line tach, all the other ss chevelle only had 5500. Also where's the working flap on the cowl induction, no stripes, no hood pins. It does have the double snorkel air cleaner which is rare.
That appears to be the way this one came.
that would mean not a ss car and no ls engine in either
@@kristopherlalko7046
They could be ordered with pretty much everything deleteable by the punch cards. There is a 70 Chevelle SS 454 (not ls) 4 speed station wagon that was hand walked down the assembly line by the ordering dealer and plant manager. I have 👀seen it with my own eyes back in the late 70's.
Unbelievable car.
Glad you enjoy this one randy jones :-)
unbelievable fake that is
Very nice clone....
Hi 44wetwater 44wetwater, What makes you think that? Lou
No stripes?
No stripes.
Gentlemen, thanks! About impossible to beat, as only Original ONCE (Super Survivor, though obviously a few Age- Degraded things need replacing, etc...)!! Interestingly, I done most of maintenance on my **70 Dodge 383/:: Obviously all modern fluids , oils, etc so much better now......for longevity’s sake,.......( actually I did have to switch over to ELECTRONIC IGNITIONS, much better performances: those plugs/ Points a real Labor in hot 383/engines, etc.)
Hi Opera, Happy to read this car brings back memories of your car :-) Thank you for viewing and sharing, Lou
Original oil is a terrible idea if you are going to turn the engine on.

it was rebuilt and is a fake that is a fact
Amazing.......😍
Happy to read & see you enjoy this episode :-)
Just Amazing! The last year before they choked them with emission equipment and crippled them. I think the owner was i error . I believe the Buick GS Stage One that year was actually even more powerful. Odd it didn’t have a tachometer?
Hi Craig, You would think a tach for a muscle car would be on the car. Happy to read this one is "Just Amazing!" :-) Lou
sensational. It's definitely not the "prettiest" example, no badging, gauges, stripes... and the paint (to me) has so many swirls/fine scratches that it just looks DULL. Rare as frogs hair but needs a little "umph" IMHO. No disrespect!!
No disrespect taken :-) I'm glad you thought this car / video is sensational. Thank you for viewing and commenting. Hope you find many more cars on the Channel you'll enjoy, Lou
Two words. Mind blowing.
Well said :-)
what a fake car they look real stupid at the car show because they know nothing about a L.S. because i will sell u a bunch of L.S. enguines if u think it has a L.S. in it
That paint needs some TLC.
Thank you for sharing what you noticed.
@@loucostabile In 1970 I bought a brand new LS6,black,M22,4:10,console,buckets,cowl induction,the whole enchilada.Sold it 1 year later.Think about that car all the time
MINE
:-)
There was a pretty little girl that had a red new red one in 70. I street raced her once with my 600 hp 70 charger. She was afraid to let it rip and just smiled at me. She was nicer that her car.
Hi Richard Fulmer, Happy to read this car brings back memories of the pretty girl you remember :-) Thank you for viewing and sharing, Lou
S.s car but no white stripes and no cowl induction hood..left everything offit..
Appears to be the case with this car.
Too bad it wasn't ordered with the gauge pkg and the ZL2 flapper.
You really have to ask yourself, how does someone order up a new car with the big engine and then cheap out on the other stuff such as the gauges, center console, A/C, Turbo Hydro 400, power windows etc. You'd have thought any power minded buyer would have ordered at least the gauges and console with an LS6. But....everyone has their reasons.
Garth Clark a lot of the ls6 cars was no air , ni console no cowl .low optioned cars.. igt a book with all the exact numbers but mostly the guys bought em that waa cause it was a bare bones drag car and the cheapest version. But ur right id much rather have the hood at leasy and the 6500 redline tach
No LS6 Chevelle Came from Factory W/ A/C,& I Agree ,That Not To Order A TACH ,W/ Such A Monster Engine & 4 Spd.is Such A Mistake.Good Thing It's Low Mileage, Cause a Person That Didn't Know How to Shift It By Ear of the Rpms, Would Have Caused Over Reving of the Eng.Have Never Seen An LS6 W/ Out a TACH,So This Definitely Is A Possible ONE Of One W/ No Flapper,Didn't:' t Hear,Does it Have the Optional Hi Perf.Suspension?If I Was The New Owner & Was Going To Drive It Like it Should be Driven,I Would Have the Optional Guage Pkg.Installed,for Safety Factors of Protecting Eng.From Over Revs,if Nothing Else.!!
Yes, as Corey explained in the beginning, it was ordered just for the engine, originally to put in a gasser.
@@Garth2011 Who cares what's most important it has the 454 LS6 and a 4-speed.
No don't pop the trunk leave it closed, ok if it's worth a pop. Ok close it fast I hate trunks and want to forget there is one.
Thank you for viewing & sharing. Hope you see many more cars on this TH-cam Channel you enjoy, Lou
Can I ask how many black paint jobs are actual Chevelle cars amount?
I'm not sure. Hopefully a Viewer can answer your question.
THE most pristine LS6 I've ever seen. Also a damn shame that it isn't driven, but that's easy for ME to say,....it's not my $500,000 toy...
