Walk around video of this guy’s muscle car collection that includes 4 big block Chevelles. He has been the caretaker for these SS Chevelles for decades.
I Truly Appreciate This Guy for hording these Gorgeous Ladies And for keeping such Beautiful Care of them because each and every single one of them are absolutely Unreplaceable
I love it. This is what we did with these cars when new. We bought 396 SS cars in high school for $1,400. They were just used cars we found in the newspaper. Imagine that. No eBay crooks. Great job Patrick.
$2000 for my 12-sec 69 in Class of 81' Thank God for my Auto Shop Teacher letting me make it Street Legal in Shop ( literally kept it inside !! Lolol ) Needless to say I got an A ! LOLOLOLHAHA Iid like a Stock 69 SS 396 WITH AN INTERIOR ! LOLOLOLHAHA
Good to see another video from you Sir,not only do you get to see some nice cars,but I learn so much from watching your videos.Keep up the great work Mr.Nichols.
That sure is a lucky person that owns those Chevelles! He must be very versed about them. A awesome collection, for sure. Keep bringing these to us that admire them!
Why do I love the Kansas built 1970 chevelles, oh yeah them infamous L... Also most guys who was serious racers went with the bench seat over buckets. It was a much lighter combo. Patrick your the best at your craft. Always appreciate the videos.
More memories, in my opinion the all black 70 Chevelle w/o stripes was the best color they came in. That was my first car 70 SS 396 no cowl bench seat 4 speed.
Wow !, what a treasure trove of classics. I was lucky enough in my younger years to own a 69 Chevelle, SS 396 with 4 speed shift. Sure wish I would have held onto it. Thanks for sharing !.
110% RESPECT YOUR WORK IN FILMING THESE CHEVELLES !!!! Their Gourgous Cars, All Of Them Are About 40% Correct !!! Even The 1 You Said Your Authenticing,...Great View, ##s Are The $$...Stay Strong....Peace
Thanks for another video showing these beautiful musclecars of the past, Patrick! I had one myself and sold it like a dummy when my wife got pregnant. It was a '71 SS 454 (L78 I think, it was 365 hp 454) the paint was a copper/dark orange color w/black stripes, original paint color according to all the hidden spots that had the same color. I so wish I still had it..... hind sight is 20/20, isn't it? LOL
My first job as a 12year old back n my birth place of Peru ,was cleaning all this muscle cars imported from america to peru by the general motors company ,a whole suburb of rich land owners have n every house from impalas to olsmobiles to mustangs n so on,brings me lots of memories to see this !grettyns from Australia!
My 2 favorite years of Chevelle's. I must now bow down and praise all that is good and holy to the Great Chevelle God. Boy oh boy, just need 3 more, then you have one for every day of the week.
I seen a 1972 SS Chevelle LS5 on the road yesterday, it was beautiful, I ask the owner at the red light if it was a LS6, he was truthful when he said it was a LS5, but was some what shocked that I ask him that specific question. I also told him it was a beautiful car, which it was and it was nice seeing out be driven on the road too.
Yes sir I've been watching the videos on The Chevelle's and I'm just a mage of the knowledge that you have I'm from that era of the 60s and I really appreciate you sharing your knowledge with everybody thank you very much I want to thank you for that and Fallout 4 the wonderful things that you discover that you do for the automobile industry these things we have to share and we have to share it and try to keep them for other people to know what that is is like a public telephone they used to hang up on the streets a lot of the young guys they look at them they don't even know what it is you know so people are not aware of this thank you very much this is Mike Rodriguez from Florida
When you were a teenager in the 70's you had a Mustang Mach II, Camero and a Chevy SS and had no idea what they would be worth in the future Damn. Damn, Damn !
All four are beautiful classics, but I'm partial to that Regal Red '66. My favorite years of the Chevelle are the '66 and '67 models. Just love the body lines.
I turned sixteen in 1974. My older brother was selling cars at the local Ford dealer and had gotten a Regal Red 66 SS 396 4spd on trade for a new Ford pickup. It had around 60k miles on it and was pretty rough. Paint was oxidized badly and the car had numerous dents. Only a couple of rust spots though. There was part of a bag of seed corn sprouting in the trunk (guy who traded it was an old local farmer). I bought it for $300. I started working in a local body shop that fall and we did the body work and changed the color to black. It was a fun first car, and of course I wish I still had it. I ran on to it again around 1983. It was sitting along the road about forty miles from my home town, missing the motor and left rear fender. I was just out of college working my first job with two kids and couldn’t even think about trying to buy it.
Very Nice video. Have a 70 SS Chevelle purchased new at Rosenthal Chev. Arl.Va. Has 42 k miles. Original 396 car, but replaced with 454 engine and badging . A repaint in 1992. Lawyer starting to crow foot . Red, white stripes, original red interior bucket seat car. Original carpet presents as almost new.
Well done Patrick, and thank you once again for your efforts and perseverance in this passion that you are so dedicated to so that we can not only see these beautiful pieces of history but also to get to learn from your vast wealth of knowledge. Give your wife and child or children an extra hug from me for allowing you to be away from home as much as you are because I know it must take a toll on your home life on both sides. You definitely found a nice group this time for sure. And if the owner of these beautiful cars happens to read this I want to say that my hat is off to you sir for preserving these wonderful cars and I say please go buy some more because you obviously know how to take care of them. By golly Patrick I think with you on the job you're going to find every damn one of them, lol, and then you will have to start over and find out how many of the rough ones you were able to save. Keep up the good work and thanks again sir.
Love the video and collection! Im a Proud owner of a 70 malibu that has been cloned to a ss chevelle (emblems, and stripes), mine is the same color green/white stripes as the one in the vid minus the black vinyl top. Ive owned it since 2004, it started out as a 307/th350 when purchased it had the original engine but had been changed to a powerglide. The drivetrain was really tired and worn out so I swapped in a mild cammed 350/th350, then drove and enjoyed it for several years up until i needed an engine for a K10, the car sat in my barn for approximitely 8 years, somehow it survived almost being sold a few times and was offered a really fair price (at that time anyway) Before I parked it and pulled the engine, we managed to rebuild the suspension, upgraded to a limited slip differential and changed it over to a 4 speed transmission (best thing ever)!! Finally, after all these years we built a new roller cam 350 engine got it back on the road a few months ago. I had thoughts of selling it a few times but I am soooooooo glad I kept it! The 70 chevelle has been my favorite car since i can remember! Back in the mid 80s my father had one 1970 SS 396 Muncie 4 speed. It sound amazing, drives great and turns heads every time I go for a spin , my car is no shop ornament it gets driven regularly and spirited.
I'll know I've finally made it in life when my garage looks exactly like this ,I was fortunate enough to own a 70 Chevelle for 22 years ,sold it extremely reluctantly ,tried to buy it back 8 months latr ,and it was sold to a guy in Mississippi a day before I called ,story of .y life always a day late and a dollar short, mine didn't look as perfect as these but still a head Turner everywhere I went ,70 is the prettiest Chevelle they ever made in my opinion
I had a 70 454 m-22 trans super shifter. Cowl hood. With the pins. I do believe it was an LS -6 car. Blue white interior and white stripes. Had a bench seat. Gauge package. I had Corvette rims on it with Good year eagles 60s all around black wall out. Paid 900 in 1979 for it. I was the third owner. I raced it did some rest axle swaps 4:11s 4:56s.and 390s. For highway driving.
@@dukeman7595 he isn't sitting at his computer 24/7 to answer every single question that people ask. He has hundreds of videos, imagine if you had 10 questions for 100 videos you posted over the years, well you would have to sit down and answer 10,000 messages per day, every day, for the rest of your life! Now for the answer to that 8, it could possibly be from a quirky line assembler just marking his work. I do it on the cars I repair so if I ever see the car again, I know I personally touched the car. And the 8 could have even been stamped from being a car rental or in a fleet of vehicles as I have done that before as well. Nobody will ever know for certain. And to also add more questions to who and why the 8 was stamped, that is a large vintage scripture ww2 era. I highly doubt it was done at the factory but anyone could have brought in their own set of stamps as their signature but they would have been fired. But who knows!? I watched one video where a Kenworth line worker wrote his name in welds under the 5th wheel plate for the BJ and the Bear tv show. That is how that truck was authenticated because they tracked down the man who helped build it and he admitted he did it but never thought anyone would find it.

Same for the date, why not just put the date: 01/23/70?
Patric. How come when I goggle the LS GM motors it says they were first used in 1997? What ups with these LS6 motors you find in the Cheveles? Please explain.

Very nice collection of Chevelles. Thanks for sharing Patrick.

Thank you Patrick for another great detailed video.
"A really nice Green car"...haha, now that's an understatement
My friend had that same car and color scheme in 1977
That's for sure!!
Hello Patrick Great find once again great job love this.all.
Another outstanding video. Informative and interesting. Keep doing these videos. Look forward to seeing more.
The engineers and designers of the 68-72 chevelles should have been awarded the medal of FREEDOM!!!!
What a great collection of real muscle cars, thank you for sharing.
Love your videos Patrick! Keep em coming!
Nice little collection you found there. Thanks for posting.
Been there... my buddy bought 1 from this guy.. he has an awesome collection..
Why do I love the Kansas built 1970 chevelles, oh yeah them infamous L... Also most guys who was serious racers went with the bench seat over buckets. It was a much lighter combo. Patrick your the best at your craft. Always appreciate the videos.
But buckets with the center console, horse shoe shifter automatic is a beautiful combination.
I totally agree that he reminds me of McConaughey by his voice. He is definitely a Chevelle Genius.
Been watching his videos for 3 days and he does remind me of McConaughey!
Got a joint be cooler if you did McConaughey' voice
I just love listening to him explain these cars , very knowledgeable man reminds me of Matthew McConoughey's voice
More memories, in my opinion the all black 70 Chevelle w/o stripes was the best color they came in. That was my first car 70 SS 396 no cowl bench seat 4 speed.
Great film, Glenn, it’s fun to watch a pro at work. Bring on some more cars! The 572 Chevelle is my kind of “Green” car.
