Glad to see you back Pat. Have been looking forward to seeing your next video. Great car and of course you are doing a great job and service to all Chevelle lovers. Hope one day I become an owner.👍
Pat been wondering about you. Good to see you back .some one sure didn't show that car much love over the years.but it's still one of the best Chevelles ever made thanks for sharing pat great video 😎
A piece of History. Should have been junked years ago but will end up as a LS6 high dollar car. Doesn't matter that the original drivetrain is gone, and the front-end sheet metal, doors, and who knows what else will be replaced. In the future a cowl and VIN tag may be all that is needed for documentation. Enjoyed the video, sad to see a wonderful car was neglected to such a pitiful condition. Some cars are original. This one will never be.
I was probably 15 when a my best friends twins had Bessemer (older by 2-3 years but left back multiple time, parents had money) come over with a LS 6 454 4 speed black. I got in the rear seat and he took off pinning me to the back seat feeling g forces not knowing what that was. I heard it was one of the fastest cars in Bergen county NJ at that time. Winning street drag races.
Good job Patrick Glenn Nichols. Thanks for guys like you that dedicate your time and talents to the old factory muscle car authentication! It keeps "know it all's" at the car shows humbled! Lol. Again awesome work sir. 😁💪👍
I've been waiting for awhile lol my first car I owned was a 70 Chevelle SS ls5 454 fathom blue / white stripes ,pearl white bucket seats and interior ,4 speed ,loaded man I miss the car
I am a ford man but love the 70. Lbs 6’s. But I don’t think it will be feasible to restore that car,but someone is still going to write that check to do it ,not me. Love your enthusiasm.
You really know your stuff about these cars sir!! Love your videos! I'm glad this really cool, and special car, will be saved! I wonder what happened to the engine, whatever car that went into must have been very cool. Keep up the good work and I'm glad you found a very nice one for yourself 😊👍
yet another diamond in the rough, i've seen a lot worse and it's gonna be expensive but a future buyer will pay for all of it! thanks for keepin' the videos coming, they are a hell of a lot better than nothing.
That is a highly equipped 70 Chevelle SS 454. Not that many were that highly optioned because the SS and the 454 were high priced all by themselves. I bet it stickered around $5500 which doesn't sound like much with prices today but back then that was big money.
@@scottbivins4051 sorry no sold it in 1988 .should have said bye to the ex and saved the car. It was forest green white stripes 454 auto no heater no radio only power steering and456 gears 11k miles at a quarter mile at a time
@@larrycumbo2023 Man oh man them goddamn ex-wives will get you every time. I bet you swallow that bitterest pill on a daily basis. Great story bro. I wonder if it survived, or if some kid wrapped it around a tree? Would be worth about 80,000 by now if in good shape.
Realizing this a year old video, I still want to tell you that it was exciting to hear of this find! Hopefully it has been or is being restored back to stock! This is the best year for the Chevelle , and El Camino, by far, in my opinion. However, my heart lies with the 69 Nova SS L78, and the 68 Camaro Z28.
You definitely have a good eye for catching things like the SS emplems on the fenders,, don't think I would have ever noticed it right away probably not till I had to take them off
You certainly wouldn't want the 4:10 gears with a 4 speed for driving at highway speeds because the engine would be screaming. At least with the Turbo 400 the final drive would make it less screaming.
Awesome find man! Obviously smacked and replaced on the front left quadrant, sucks the motor and trans are gone... Show us the blue roadrunner! /w\U-Rock/w\
69 SS 396 Chevelle had a medium rise intake manifold on it 70 had a flat intake manifold on it when I had mine I always want to get my hands on a 69 intake cast iron factory and swap it on to my 70 mile cuz I thought it was a better intake probably get about 10 more horsepower that way especially with that 70 Chevelle having that spark retired electric canister on it the first thing I did is unplug that my vacuum pants up direct and a carburetor the hell with that stupid thing I took it off and threw it away
It is good to see your films again, Glenn. What percentage to you look for in authenticating a car in the condition like this example to receive a certification?
Lanigan Auto Sales is still in business today at 4409 Dixie Highway, Elsmere KY 41018 and has been in business since 1951. Ray Stauffer Chevrolet was located at 1001 N. Washington Ave in Scranton, PA and this is Tom Hesser Chevrolet today.
Patrick are you still looking for original red door panels and rear panels?? I recall many months one of your videos you bought a car for just the red panels. This panels are dated October 1969. Let me know if you still need door panels..
TH-cam channel iron trap garage just found a large stash of GM New Old Stock they specialize in Fords could be some deals I'll put up with a tornadoes worth of wind to see a real LS6 as usual thanks for the video
Nice combination of color and options. Thinking this is going to be a very expensive restoration though. I wonder what it will be worth in the resale market, after the restoration is completed. Considering it doesn't have original engine or transmission. At what point does a restoration become, not worth it?
I would think the restoration is gonna cost more than the resale value unless they have the ability to do some of the work themselves. But if they have the money It will definitely be cool.
I guess you get to a point where you're not thinking about resale. Put into it what you want to make you happy. Without the original engine or transmission it's just worth what brings a smile to your face and the thumbs up you get.
Patrick I haven't watched your videos in a while, And I was just doing a little catch up watching today, And I have a question if you see this..... With all the videos I've watched you put out over the years I don't think I've ever seen a Chevelle SS(70) Big block car that was fully loaded.... Meaning 4 speed console car with AC, Power steering ,power brakes, Power windows, tilt wheel ,and one with a...am/fm 8Track.... I've seen you do a few videos with the AM 8 track...., But never one with a Big block and AC or a AM FM 8Track, power windows ,and the rest of the Luxury options..... Does this car exist....???
Man I'm so tired of you numbers guys , these things came down the line all the same ! Just build what you want ! So tired of , its a numbers matching car lol who cares ! Build what you want and enjoy driving it ! 100,000 grand into it these guys have a yard ornament that never gets driven ! What a joke
You can see the bondo on the drivers side door, it was in an accident, most likely the front and drivers side hit. To bad it didn't have a horse shoe shifter, bucket seats and center console.
Oswald this is Gordon again I think the plastic fender Wells didn't come in until 1970 or I mean April 1970 my Chevelle was built in November 1969 in Kansas City I had steel fender wells in the front end let me know my right or wrong
Great job, never disappointed. Keep them on the road. Thanks for sharing 👍
Glad to see you back Pat. Have been looking forward to seeing your next video. Great car and of course you are doing a great job and service to all Chevelle lovers. Hope one day I become an owner.👍

That's going to be a labor of love for someone. I hope that they get it done and are happy with the results.
Pat Hello friend Good to see your back helping us to get these classic cars back on the road 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸💪💪👍👍👍👍
I wait patiently for your videos. Each one is a jewel. Sure wish they were more frequent, but I know how hard it is to find these cars.
Love the barn finds!!! Let's hope they keep coming!!
Good to see you are still doing your thing..........

Great video again Patrick! Keep up the great authentication work ! This allow many of these car to be restored because of you !
Thank you PGN for these INCREDIBLE videos!!!

These things already seemed ancient 25 years ago when I was in high school and getting into cars. Amazing they are still turning up.
She’s rougher then a stucco bath tub. It def worth saving for the hobby. Thanks for sharing buddy
Thanks P.G.N. another one documented and saved.
Central California Watching
Good to hear from you , Patrick. Great work as usual
Nice find Patrick. A very cool combination of options. Great to see a new video from you.👍
Good job Patrick Glenn Nichols. Thanks for guys like you that dedicate your time and talents to the old factory muscle car authentication! It keeps "know it all's" at the car shows humbled! Lol. Again awesome work sir. 😁💪👍
Just saw on Facebook had to come see the video thanks for another one!
Nice find, they’re still out there.
And that's amazing.
I've been waiting for awhile lol my first car I owned was a 70 Chevelle SS ls5 454 fathom blue / white stripes ,pearl white bucket seats and interior ,4 speed ,loaded man I miss the car
Sounds like a killer ride, they're not made like that anymore!
I had a lightly modded L78 in a '71 Camaro. That thing was wild.
I am a ford man but love the 70. Lbs 6’s. But I don’t think it will be feasible to restore that car,but someone is still going to write that check to do it ,not me. Love your enthusiasm.
Sad to see it like this, but there’s enough left to restore it.
You really know your stuff about these cars sir!! Love your videos! I'm glad this really cool, and special car, will be saved! I wonder what happened to the engine, whatever car that went into must have been very cool. Keep up the good work and I'm glad you found a very nice one for yourself 😊👍
Pretty cool haven't seen a video for awhile patrick. Good to see 👀 you back at it
Really enjoy your videos. Had a chance years ago to buy a pristine 70 LS6. To young to know enough about them without enough money. LOL.
Patrick you have the best job in the world! Love your videos
yet another diamond in the rough, i've seen a lot worse and it's gonna be expensive but a future buyer will pay for all of it! thanks for keepin' the videos coming, they are a hell of a lot better than nothing.

Approx. 40K in todays dollars.
Had a copo ss 454 new in 1970 from Nikky Chevrolet in chicago 5200 out the door
@@larrycumbo2023 Im guessing you no longer own it? I would rather have a Nikky of all of the old boutique muscle cars.

Patrick, glad to see another Big Block Chevelle thats going to run a whole in the wind. Raymond in Paducah
Power windows and tilt column! Red with white stripes and white interior. What a car to find.
Thanks for sharing
Great to see it. I bet it was a gorgeous crown jewel on the streets when it was new. I never seen a tilt & shift column in any car.
Thanks Patrick. 👍
Good Find👍🏻
Wow 👌 450HP BEAST!!! Largest most powerful engine to ever be put in a Chevrolet car.... beautiful find I hope it gets restored to it's former glory
Cadillacs (Chevy product) came with 500 cubic inches.
@@22kpar1xcyberdyne9 Cadillac is owned by GM not Chevrolet.
Fascinating.

Is it worth restoring without the numbers matching drivetrain.......?
I like the ‘68 GTX! I’m building one! 440 4 speed Dana. 👍
You definitely have a good eye for catching things like the SS emplems on the fenders,, don't think I would have ever noticed it right away probably not till I had to take them off
Great vid!!!!!!!
Will be alot of work on that one. Still a really cool find. 👍
Wow. That was a real stunner when new
4:10 gears and power windows is some combination!
You certainly wouldn't want the 4:10 gears with a 4 speed for driving at highway speeds because the engine would be screaming. At least with the Turbo 400 the final drive would make it less screaming.
It will still be screaming, Turbo 400 and m20/21/22 all have the same 1:1 top gear ratio.
I love when you say these cars will be restored
Can't wait to have you authentic my father in law's LS5 with 40k on the odometer, very nice survivor.
Just hit me up for the details and to arrange a visit. Thanks for the consideration.
Another great video Patrick, what's not to like? Thank you!
What’s happening with that gtx
Awesome find man! Obviously smacked and replaced on the front left quadrant, sucks the motor and trans are gone... Show us the blue roadrunner!
/w\U-Rock/w\
I like that old ramcharger sitting back there!
Thanks pat
Roy Stoffer Chevrolet ...Still a Chevy Dealer under Tom Hesser Chevrolet currently and Stoffers was a Authorized Yenko Dealer as well
I beamed, seeing you released a new video
Why would the radiator support be changed out other than a crash?
Can't afford the LS6. Is that blue 68 GTX for sale? Great job as always Patrick.
This makes me want to look for my dad's 2 Chevelle's. I have no idea how to start the search but I'd like to try .
Hey Patrick long time no see I see you still at it good deal
Great video!

Finally another one!
Another excellent review!
Is it a bench seat car?

I love the aluminium slots wheels
I'll take that gtx
Can you make us a short video sitting in a black SS saying "Awwww right...... awwwww right ....... AWWWWW RIGHT!!"
Boy she’s rough. But what a diamond in the rough. If it were anything but an LS6 I’d probably pass on it.
Dream car
I live in north Carolina I have a ss how do I get you out to look at it i found the build sheet but I had a mouse get a hold of it
25 thousand dollar car as it sets.
Were was the build sheet at?
Patrick, are you going to restore this one?
Very nice fish fry Patrick
I’ll buy it now
Do you know the name of the Dealer in Scranton ,Pa.? was it Stauffer Chevrolet?
great video
Patrick are you still looking for original red door panels and rear panels?? I recall many months one of your videos you bought a car for just the red panels. This panels are dated October 1969. Let me know if you still need door panels..
the build sheet usually is placed under the rear seat , when the car leaves the factory .the Norwalk plant put em under the rear seat of Camaro's
TH-cam channel iron trap garage just found a large stash of GM New Old Stock they specialize in Fords could be some deals I'll put up with a tornadoes worth of wind to see a real LS6 as usual thanks for the video
👍👍💯
Just curious. If he were to sell it as is what would be a fair market value?
Nice combination of color and options. Thinking this is going to be a very expensive restoration though. I wonder what it will be worth in the resale market, after the restoration is completed.

How much for the car $$$$$
And where I can purchase online?
What's the blue car in the back?... Coronet?
69 GTX
Great car
The? Is it don't have the matching numbers ls6 is it worth the 200 k to restore it?

Sounds like your RECORDING FROM INSIDE A WOOD CHIPPER!! Lol
Let's hear about the GTX!
Me and my father use to make burn marks to ful other costomers. Check one more time. Gratings from Germany
Column shift really pisses me off
So you can have a Chevelle SS be a Malibu? I thought it was either a Malibu or an SS not both?
Man that thing looks like it’s been underwater at one time
Seems like itz been wrecked b4. The story they tell is the best
