- 1970 Chevelle SS454 LS6 discovered in a barn in Virginia. The owner had owned the car since 1970. The Chevelle turns out to be the earliest known assembled documented LS6 example from the Atlanta, Georgia assembly plant to surface to date. The car started and run smooth after being parked for decades.
Rest In Peace Randy Easlick. I’m really fortunate to have had the privilege of meeting you through my work. We had a great time when I visited you to document your recent LS6 Chevelle discovery. You took me out to dinner and treated me like royalty. You were a great guy and my heart goes out to all those who were closest to you. Especially your children. The world needs more people like you. Gone but not forgotten.
Take it Randy is who owned this car and the collection?
Ryan Heisey
Evidently...
And I wonder how many others would have been so in appreciation of the reason this car was being brought into the light.
It is bittersweet, and from all us car lovers we share in both sides of the emotion that are involved with this event.
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Rest in peace glad he knew the value of his car and let you share it with us!
Is Randy the guy in the picture?
Good job Patrick.!!..really impressing us with your numbers knowledge. .Keep it coming!
Beautiful. Wish American cars were made like this still. 👍🏻
I’m good ole Mexico 🇲🇽
Cars are better now

CONSOLETHUMBS: I love muscle cars as well, but they were very dangerous. It would be great if they could keep the original shape but put crumple zones and passive safety equipment in them. The problem would be that the body would not be pedestrian friendly in a crash.
@
I'd rather drive a "dangerous old car" than the fugly cheap trash they make nowadays. Modern cars are made for pussies who can't drive and are scared of going over 60mph
It's amazing to hear the amount of knowledge this man has about cars.
This IS Matthew M the actor ! I swear it is. I listened to both with eyes closed and it's him.
Wow I thought I was the only one thinking that. Matthew McConaughey. He has that used car salesman voice. Lol
Let me tell you what Melba Toast is packin' right here, alright. We got 411 Positrac outback, 750 double pumper Edelbrock intake, bored over 30, 11 to 1 pop-up pistons, turbo-jet 375 horsepower. We're talkin' some f***in' muscle.
Thats what I said as soon as I heard it.
That car had to be beautiful brand new in that color combo.. Although it's still beautiful as it is today. And I have to agree that engine sounds Very heathly, gave me goose bumps for a split second when it fired up. Great Video and you have a true Talent for your work. Keep the videos coming 👍
Awesome car live those Chevelle's my first car was a sleeper 1977 Pontiac Grand Prix Rusty but quick 400 small block 4 b carb
Thanks, great car! I bought my 1st Road Runner in 1974. A friend of mine had an immaculate 1970 LS-6 Chevelle, in all original condition. Ernie kept it perfect. I will never forget that '70 Chevelle. He was always playing ZZ-Top tunes...lol...
Your videos are awesome, Patrick. I really enjoy how you take time to admire each and every car and go over all the pertinent VIN and casting # info. Thank you for your time, fairness and effort. 2 thumbs up!
This man knows his classic cars
Oh wow I just stumbled across this video. This brings back so many memories. I absolutely love the 70. Although mine was a Malibu, it was the same color with black interior. Finding something like this is absolutely unreal. Thanks for sharing!
Simply amazed cars like this are still being found.
Mark Schroeder I am shocked too! I always think everything has been found
I just bought back my 1972 Chevelle SS that was my high school/college car.
very cool, did u have to search for it, or did you know who had it?
I had to search for it
I bet you had dreams about that car after it was gone . To acquire that same car again is incredible.
That's awesome,had my 72 SS since 84
Sorry about that
I'm 21 hope to bump into a beauty in my lifetime to call my own.
Easy. A flathead and a mask. Your welcome.
PT cruiser.....wood panelling.....💪
Anything’s possible man a good place to start would be to first secure yourself a great paying job and step 2 don’t get married cuz it won’t be yours after the divorce
I bought a 1970 chevelle in 1985 for 250$ not running. Got it running sold it for 500$. Already had 1969 and 1970 dodge dart GT's so to many. They were so cheap to buy those back then.
Rich dudes ruined the prices when they stopped collecting Ferraris and lambos
I’m extremely salty that inflation & popularity boosted the price of these great vehicles. Half of the people who can afford them don’t even drive them how they should be.
I loved those good old days!!! Weed rack up somebody's car from our gang on a drunk&high Friday night,then grab the news paper on Saturday and pick up another muscle beast for Sat night cruising for a few hundred bucks. Man those were the days my friends we thought they'd never end! As the old song goes.
I paid $50 for a 70 Dart GT,same for a 72 Barracuda,$250 for a 73 Montego GT with a 351 Cleveland, and the list goes on. My buddy scored a 67 Hemi Charger for $1200 in 85 missing the Hemi but hey,they're replaceable. Ahh,has anybody seen where I left my time machine laying around??? Lol!!!
Boy I sorely miss those days!!!!
Really a nice find. If it wasn't to become museum display, I would clean it up, replace needed parts and make her a daily driver.
I love your videos I hope you have more of them thank you
Outstanding find Patrick. To be this complete, despite the potential for a front end accident, is an epic find. This car is on the ragged edge of being a presentable survivor. I think it's ready for a frame off resto. Thanks for the education on the codes

Why does your voice remind me of Matthew McConaughey... at the end of your videos just say all right.. all right... all right!
lol i was thinking the same thing
Or alright
Texas !
???
Blue bleeders, almost sounds like you built these things.
yep i think he has to inside knowledge goes a long way !
Wow! Such an amazing car!!
That's why I'm a Chevy guy!
Repair everything back to stock, massage out the dents and weld up the rust but keep it mostly a survivor-driver.
I agree
Cut the fenders and drop 26s
Lol jkjk
Trendyrapslut no dude some off-road wheels and a roll cage 😂 jk
Michael Anthony I agree!!!
When did Matthew Mcconaughey start narrating car videos?
I was thinking the same thing
Those are Kelly Super Charger tires on the back! My dad's 70 GTO JUDGE had a set of those and it looked so tough! Beautiful tires!
@Andrew Smith I disagree. Having some nice fat and meaty tires in the rear give it a great stance and looks mean.
@@timothym5678 exactly right! My dad made Kelly Tires back in the 1970's and he got a discount so he put them on The Judge on a set of Turbo Wheels! Talk about tough looking!
Andrew Smith YOU ARE WRONG !
@iTheGeek dude! You gotta stop! Caint breathe! ROFLMMFAO!
Andrew Smith you sound like the kind of asshole that would put stretched stance tyres on a muscle car, no brains
If ALL numbers match, easy get 90 - 100k
More than that. This is a 1 of 47 ls6... this will go for up to 150k to 200k in current condition. All the guys in saudia Arabia have spotters for when these hit the auctions and pay anything for them.
@@Real_Richmond_510 So true, the Arabians REALLY love their American muscle, crazy gearheads too!
No. Just stop. Fully restored Ls6 sells for 100-150k. Number matching doesn’t add 100k to the value.
Better to keep it.
As is this car could bring close to 140k
Been parked 35 years and starts up better than my 1970 Chevelle that has been parked 35 minutes.
😂😂😂👍💪🙏✌💯
This car is a fine example of American craftsmanship, whether you're old school or new gearhead. You guys crack me up, arguing about small points of personal interest when we all know you're ALL right. Big picture here is more than 3 generations of full blood gearhead having a discussion about a beautiful old car! I like them all...
My first car was a 66 Chevelle SS 396. Does anyone know if they built a 66 with the HO 396/M22/410 or 411 combo? That's what mine had and sat on 15" Craigars. It was, hands down, the best car I've ever had and also the biggest pain in the ass lol I miss it terribly...
😂
The build sheet in my 70ss was in the driver side door, it was built in the Lakewood plant in Atlanta Georgia.. and it was in excellent condition, it immediately got sealed in plastic to preserve it.
That is one tough chevelle back in the day. I definitely appreciate it as is. I was born just before it was parked and I never had the opportunity as a youngster to live the muscle car era. But i have heard the stories from my dad who did live it.. i wish i could have lived it with you folks...
You'd be much better off with a hellcat or Mustang GT of today than that early iron. Today, you get all the luxury and safety features of a modern car included with all that speed. With 4:10 gears I bet that thing runs at 3000 rpm at 60 mph and gets about 9 MPG.
Needs a ton of TLC but sure can be gorgeous when properly restored and tuned. Your shop is also super clean and nice looking. Thanks for the upload!
Alright Beetlejuice
You’re a walking encyclopedia of vintage car tags and numbers. Really amazing! Incredible find!
Another great find and wonderful detailed description. Very enjoyable watch.. Any plans for this LS6 ?
Struck GOLD is an understatement, this car-"IF" the numbers are all there and correct as you are saying, will be worth a fortune. There are way too many clones out there and I happen to know about some of them and who has them.I will never reveal that information for my own reasons.The thing is: People will go to great lengths to make money. Great video,well done and best wishes with the build bro.
How much do you think it's worth?
@@DCsGladiator -This car is probably near the $100,000.00 range-if it isn't a cloned 71'. I have an ex-friend that cloned one and then lied to me afterwards-apparently he was trying to use my memory loss against me. He knows I have P.T.S.D. and T.B.I and I personally think it's cruel to treat a veteran this way. I found out he was laughing at me behind my back to my cousin-that I am close to. I do wish the owner of this car all the best and I hope he has a true numbers matching LS6.
My dream car. It's in amazing condition for being neglected for so long.
The owner must of been the gentleman sitting on the trailer I hope he was not taken advantage of and got what the car is worth in that condition looked like a nice man.
MAN, HOW, do you find these? I got my 1970, 396 ,in 1979, SOLD Her, in 1981, I miss her every day. Darn. I wish ,I would have had a place to keep her.
You could have just lived in it...i would have
Road Sapyta
I could listen to this guy all day.
Alright alright alright
DAYAM!!! Y'ALL SCORED A MAJOR POT OF GOLD!!! Fix it up, clean it up, sell it for six figures and have very, merry Christmas; like Chevrolet did when they built it! 🌿
Just stay away from my paws! 🐰!
Okay Matthew Mcconaughey thank you for bringing us such a wonderful find!
Jesus i was just thinking this guy sounds exactly like him, had to look to see if i was the only one...
I really like when you say what the car ran at the track! A very important to me part of the history of the car.
Love the collection. Before my dad passed away he moved to Arkansas from florida in the 70s, and took his 1970 Chevy T-top Corvette up with him. He parked it in the garage here and its been sitting for 40 years but its in almost running condition. I can't wait to get it running soon, and fix whats gotta be fixed on it. Its almost perfect
That is sick!! Pat you're
Lucky man getting to help us look over these jems you find fricken awesome !!!
My uncle had a 70 chevelle ss I believe sold it for little or nothing I use to love riding to school in that car getting dropped off in a chevelle was pretty cool !!great childhood memories!
I inherited a 69 Nova SS 396 that my Grandmother bought brand new for my dad when he was in HS, I wish it cranked like this lol. 2 years later I have it running now, still have to replace some floor boards, paint & new bumpers. I'll be out next year for sure.
Did she want her son to get in trouble lol?
Spacely have it on instagram?
another nice chevy ill like to hav bro.. wat still hav 396 in it or u put somn else in it
@@aoclive6710 yes I have it on IG you can check some pics out on via @Myspacelylife
@@obezzyjohnson9680 396 bored a lil over.
loved your knowledge and facts about the car

there is build sheet on top of gas tank or inside back seat
Alright alright alright, why is Matthew McConaughey trying to sell me a car right now?
I dig it, tho.
Hell of a car. Lots of nice cars in that collection. Thanks for showing it to us.
My grandpa probably handled that axel. Haha.
Want this car
Lets be honest, All this stuff is outdated. These engines dont run good with the New ⛽. Take it out . Put a New aluminum block& Heads in there.. Good Luck
thats awesome,my favorite car is a 72 chevelle.
jennifer bradshaw My buddy has a 72 Chevelle! It was a great ride!
95000 original miles somebody drove that car man that is awesome drive that car to work everyday that would even make work better man
With 410s it's like the motor has 250000 miles jk. Great car for sure :)
I would really love to see a build video of this car! One of my favorite muscle cars....
I will never forget the first '70 Chevelle SS. I can't say for sure it was a 454 or not.(I was 8 years old)
The owner was in the military and was moving to a new base. He was pulling a small y'all haul trailer and had Jack knifed it turning around on a side street. Unfortunately, he got it to lurch forward and right into the path of my Mother's 1963 Fairlane that was going probably 40ish. That was April of 1970. Mom's tank was fixed but the SS was totaled. I saw it in a local junkyard a few months later when Dad and I were getting a new rearview mirror for his '64 Falcon wagon.
U kinda sound like Mathew MUH-CON-A-HEY.
Alright Alright Alright
Sry bout my spelling
Mc. Conna eehhhhhhhhh
He sure does sound like him!!!
What precautions or checks do you take to not damage a motor when you fire it up after sitting for 35 years? The cylinders have to be dry right? Do you squirt oil in the cylinders and change the oil? Amazing that fuel pump rubber diaphragm still worked. Anyone who knows how to do this please comment. I see this all the time in videos like this and I'm really curious as to if you just go for it.
Unbelievable find, love the day 2 stuff, all gonna go in the garbage obviously, but back then, everyone did that, tires and wheels first thing, lucky it doesn't have flared quarters, but the Hurst shifter also a big thing, AM radio shocking, by mid 70s audiovox made the in dash adjustable shaft AM/FM 8 track, throw a set of Jensen 6X9s in the rear deck, and you were rolling
I wouldn't be putting those Cragars, shifter or those tires in the garbage man.. I think there are a lot of collectors that want to preserve the day 2 look now
I really enjoyed learning about the single line high performance fuel line, the M22 ID codes, and the blue bleeders. Thanks for sharing. Juan
Yes. This is history and thanks to our host, Patrick, for making this record.
Please te tell me that you put marvel mystery oil in the cylinder and let it sit overnight it just when you start it just runs way better my dad was a Master mechanic its a old trick they used to do and the and it runs way better last time I did it to a car it came out with 0 0 0 emission
This car is gold and rare to find i would never ever sell it to no one if i owned it very valuable to a collector. All original 100 % is priceless.
Thats beautiful. I was lucky enough for my dad to have one.
I love these home videos. No sponsors, telling you what to fkn say.👍🏻👊🏻
Matthew McConaughey is that you??? Haha awesome find and you have great knowledge
Jared Thompson I thought the same thing lol
@@CRFHONDARIDER100 Sounds just like him lol.
Straight out of the 80's when high school kids we were driving all these old Muscle cars and were picking them up for cheap....now most of us look back and kick ourselves for not keeping them , but what a time it was .
I envy y'all. All i got were small displacement 4 cylinders and turbo cars. I didn't know what torque was until i got my chevy c2500
The American muscle I had was - 71 Chevelle 2dr ($500), 66 Chevelle ragtop 4spd ($1000), 67 Firebird 400 ($50), 67 Impala fastback (free).. WTH was a I thinking getting rid of any of these.. 😥🥵
In 1983 I found a 70 SS 396 in a barn of one of my friends. His dad was renting the space out to someone else so I got his phone number and made him an offer of $2500. Bought it the next week. The 402 had a bent #8 rod which was typical. So a friend and me rebuilt it and it ran good for about 2 years. Bent another rod and had a lifter break in half and got sucked up in the oil pump. So got tired of that block and all the trouble with it. So my buddy found a Stingray 427 435 HP block in a junkyard for $400. My friend and I did this one right. Took it down to the race shop and had it bored and balanced. Then spent 4 months rebuilding it. It would pull the front wheels off the ground with 4:56 gears. Kept it another 4 years and sold it for $8K after spending about $10K on it. But it was the meanest fastest car in town. Fathom Blue with pearl white stripes. What I would do now to find it but it probably got wrapped around a tree or blown up...lol
Is that Matthew Mcconoughy doing narration?
All right,all right,all right
Yes he got fired from hollywood
WHO IN THEIR RIGHT MIND COULD HATE CAR VIDEOS OF ANY TYPE OF CAR. MUST BE ALOT OF FOREIGNERS IN MY COUNTRY . GET OUT.
Yes it's always a good time listening to all this knowledge! Great videos Patrick!
hi- Love the run down of this classic muscle car~! ....only suggestion I would have is to start off the video with a turn of the ignition and let the viewers hear the motor right away to properly immerse them in the story line- then up shift to -the narration and history / details- and then come back 'full circle' with the car racing down the road ..Cheers ;)
*SEE! SOLID LIFTERS ARE BETTER THAN HYDRAULICS. SOLIDS DON'T COLLAPSE AND CLANK AFTER HOLDING A VALVE OPEN 35 YEARS !"
Yeah 💥
I know a lot of people like to keep their cars original, but clean the damn things once in awhile. Just a wipe down will suffice, but when I see cars like this, to me the owner doesn't give a shit about it. Just wants to have bragging rights. I have the earliest LS6. Whoopie it looks like shit!!!
When Aliens invade the earth.....they will see the vids and know we were a good people....and let us live!
paulthesoundguy1 so true
Let's just hope they don't check twitter...
Not if they see the trans videos or the pro choice ones. We will be screwed.
@@Bl00dwerK or figure out Facebook
Most of this world is filth
Who else was yelling STOP...THE ALT BELT IS IN THE FAN BLADE!!!
I was like is it just me.
I was saying a few choice words at that moment and figured it possibly fell off.
@@danaharrah2776 after he turns it off and goes back the belt is still in the same place...not sure if it is edited. Couldn't believe it didn't create a problem
im 21, i really wish i grew up in the times when these were new, times obviously were alot simpler back then, i at least in my lifetime pray i get to own a 60s or 70s muscle car
@@sarah_____conor back in '70 my dad picked me up from school in a 69 big block camaro that he was test driving. Back in those days, you could take the car home overnight. Yea it was 1970 and my dad was looking at the picked over 69 stuff from the back lot. He was always a bargain hunter. I was really disappointed when he decided on a green 69 camaro rs that was cat shit green 350 automatic. It was still cooler than my mothers 64 rambler american
You like your Mopars? you have good taste in car's I do too I've owned my Dodge Charger for 22 year's now and I live in New Zealand where these car's are not common however, American Car's are popular here I do hope you get your Mopar don't give up on your dream and it will happen all the best Mike New Zealand. PS, try and get a Big Block Mopar if you can (440) mines a 440 runs pretty good :-)
I remember reading of the LS6 Chevelles and El Caminos in Hot Rod back in the later 80s. If I recall, the article mentioned that one could order a fairly stripped down version of the car meaning you could have had a column gear selector, and non-limited slip 'granny' LS6 equipped Chevelle. Kind of like how Buick offered their Grand National engine in the rare non-GN guise Regals around the same time I read the Chevelle article. For comparison, I am pretty sure one could not order a 'stripped' down Hemi 'Cuda (other than one meant for drag racing vs. grandma special).
I have a 72 Chevelle small block. One owner.
All right 👍
Did you sell your Lincoln Matt?
I've got a 1968 chevelle elcomino says Malibu on dash and had factory air and had 327 2 speed power gluid in it
Wow! Beautiful car! and rare at that! Is a shame to see it in that condition! Its gonna take thousands to restore to original condition, but worth it!😎👍
For as long as that has been sitting it's in good shape glad it's going to be fixed up
Awesome car it looks to be in the proper hands to take good care of it. Thank you Patrick for another great video.
Found a unicorn. 👍🦄
Mike Jordan Yeah he did!
So does your knowledge and verification inspection make it an official or otherwise accepted inspection verification process recognized by those that would cry foul just because a marti report isn’t provided? If not could you get that done? That would be a thing passing out certificates of authenticity with a specialty in the field of chevelle muscle cars.
194 haters. Smh what's to dislike on this vid?
Some will hate because they don't own the car... stupid reason but
Ford owners
🤷🏻♂️
Earl Scaanlon I’m a ford guy and I love these videos
@@earlscaanlon4353 Earl, just stop...I own Fords and Chevys, hell, a couple of Pontiacs too...brand loyalists just want to start an argument...when a man stops shittin' green he knows how dumb that shit sounds....
Oh my goodness Sir. I have dreams of finding a "bubble butt" muscle car like this! When I was younger I owned a 72' Buick Skylark 2dr Coupe. Had to let it go because I became a single mom with two boy's. I'm 52 now and wish I could have it back every day!! Congrats to you. It's a keeper. 😍
I'm 38....
THIS!
THIS is THE CAR that I've always dreamed about owning...ever since I found out about it.
Yull get one
BUY IT you will have the money when its done
Thank you for giving us a history lesson, and no matter what a person says, Get one and restore it the way you want. Or be a bench ride/passenger ride and criticize.
I have a 72 LQ4 T56 magnum, that's getting twin turbos and a ZL1/1LE the best of both old and new. Cheers !
They probably gave that old man peanuts for that chevelle.
Nah... They paid him 4546.70 plus destination fees from late 1969.
@dannie curlett I don't know how much they actual gave him I was being sarcastic about the price that was the price that would cost new back in 1970. As you know some people take advantage of people with rare cars and at there age they don't know what there going for. I buy cars for my self not to resell .
@dannie curlett you aren't too smart are you?
If we can be honest. Think about yourself standing in the driveway trying to buy the car. I would start low and go up to what it took to buy the car. And even then I would offer him less just before I paid him. The car is legit but needs a lot of cash and time put into it. I would have started my offer at $7500 just saying
$7500 offer on a LS6 and you would have been told where to shove it😂
friend had a 70 el camino 454 stick..factory swivel bucket seats..she got tired of it sold it for 600$...yea true blond
Not very smart move.
Parick, Thank you!, for another outstanding find, and sharing with us!!!
I feel like I have been to GM muscle car school after watching this video, very informative.
My dad had a 1969 SS 396 Chevelle when I was a kid. I would give anything to have it back, the memories.
nice !!!! one of my dream cars for sure .
Very kool vid! I have Mopars, but enjoy all this stuff.😀
great car, but geez you sound like Matthew Mcconaughey ..... awesome
car runs incredibly smooth
Yep that's A BIG BLOCK 😂 THANKS👂💣
Noooo.....reallly
@@AndresGarcia-cu6ou I'm 55y old ,,,, when my dad worked at ,Tri city Chevrolet ,in. Roanoke rapids North Carolina, thay made him put dubbel HEAD Gaskets to lower the compression of the SS 454 because, so many people where Blowing them up💰 and I swear to you 🔧⚙️🔩⚙️ , that is the truth,! And the SS 396 🏁PS,,,, this all happened in 1969, and 1970 ,, etc etc 🏁
Patrick I'm 55yo in 1969/70 the car dealership ,,Tri city Chevrolet made my dad who is now 82yo he had to put on the head gaskets that wear 2wthe thick of regular,head gaskets,so that thoes Motorheads could not blow thoes brand-new SS396 and SS454 ALL TO HE'LL 🏁
Very professional, very impressive. I noticed that your titles and title shots look like they have a lot of story, but the story is missing in the video. I’ve only watched a handful, and the cars are very intriguing, but I think there’s some narrative that people really want to see/hear. The story man, the story
A guy that lives around the corner from me has a 72 Chevelle with a 454, I used to work weekends with him but I never seen the car in person but I've seen pictures of it but I think he said its not a SS so the 454 wouldnt have come with the car and it needs body work but all Chevelles are still pretty cool.
😂 sounds like a can of marbles who the hell you trying to scam??
I bought A 68 Chevelle in 1992 and had it painted the same year. in 93 I put A 454 and A 12 bolt posi and redid the interior. I was 22years old at the time. I still have the car and the paint look fantastic.
I bought a '72 Sheriff's cruiser (can't remember the body style).It had the 454 with chrome valve covers, and I plowed pavement with it for 6 months, traded it for a '72 "cuda 440 with no reverse. I forget what I traded that one for.
By the way, all the 'numbers matching' (swear, if I hear this one more time...), and NOT ONE WORD about that honking AFTERMARKET Edelbrock intake, that carburetor adapter plate, what looks like a mismatched valve cover on the passenger side, or that 'low performance, no 'hit' engine sound on start-up...is just laughable. I'd bet MONEY that this is a 1970-1971 'crate replacement motor'...which would be 'lower performance' than OEM LS6. Keep in mind, the CAR is a Chevelle SS...when you tout it as 'an LS6' Chevelle, you are claiming it has the LS6 ENGINE PACKAGE (much like my Silverado has an LY9 Vortec ENGINE). I also notice, you didn't compare the last-6 digits on the engine tab to the VIN NUMBER of the car...THEY SHOULD MATCH if the engine is OEM to the car!!! Numbers-matching isn't JUST about 'correct date codes', it is about serialized components matching with the VIN...and if the engine isn't an LS6, then you have a Chevelle with a big block, and nothing more...
I'll say it one more time: IF it is a 1970 LS6 Chevelle (or El Camino), that block BETTER HAVE Iron LS6 Heads: #3964291 and LS6 Block: #3963512, or it's just a 1970 Chevelle SS with a big block in it. The difference is worth tens-of-thousands of dollars!!!
shut up boy,im the expert-patrick
Yup! I saw the serial on the block and I was waiting for the six matching digits on the VIN and the transmission... he didn't show it. I have two numbers matching cars. A '71 Monte Carlo and a '71 El Camino and I can link the six digits on the block deck and the transmission case to the VIN on the dash. Good call... Need more provenance here.
