    My oldest brother bought himself a brand new 1970 Chevelle SS 396 L-78 option (375 HP) that was Forrest Green with the White Seats (black carpet / black door panels) with Stripe Delete and the Domed Hood option back in 1970. Kind of a sleeper actually without the Cowl Hood.
    That was back then, and probably is still today one of my all-time favorite vehicles. His had a 4 speed Muncie which is notorious for having sloppy linkage.
    At the time my brother was still in the Marine Corp at the time, stationed in Vietnam and then he came home stateside to Camp Pendleton , so it was driven very little as we live in Texas.
    The crazy thing is my brother wanted me to start it up for him at least once a week to keep the battery charged. I was in second grade at the time:). Not kidding. How many 8 year olds get to start up an L-78 with a stick shift once, much less than starting it up 1-2 times a week for almost three years??? Luckily I never had a mishap with the clutch and put it through the garage wall...:) Both he and I were lucky I suppose.
    BTW - Everyone talks about the LS-6 when they speak about Chevelle's....the L-78 was underrated at 375 hp. What an incredible car! I still think about it.

      a real 1970 chevelle ls 454 sells for almost 2 million now if u can ever find one i have not seen one on the net so far or for sell . ls came out in 1970 with its own block and it was a small block, ls as never built a bbc in history if u read up on the mark 4 series it will tell u that they changed the angle of pistons and pushrods which means a new block then u need to know what LS stands for and it would say cowl induction LS on the hood of the car, u can not buy the emblem

I ASSURE YOU THAT WHEN YOU GET THE CAR TO START WITH JUST A TAP OF THE KEY AND HAVE IT RUN WITHOUT OVERHEATING ...... DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD IS ALL THAT MATTERS AND THE DATE CODE ON THE WHEELS DOESN'T MEAN A DAMN THING !!!!!

    With so few made, it’s amazing how these LS6 SS’s keep popping up. I’m not educated about which plants made how many of these cars (Baltimore, Atlanta, etc. With 4,475 made overall, they’ve survived pretty well. My friend had an LS6 back in the 80’s with a column shift turbo 400 bench seat that he used as a daily driver back then. This one shown today needs some work, and some OEM parts, (which is a safari in itself😂), but the bones are great, and it’s a real homey. My guess is it was a bench seat car, and purchased to go racing.

    • @jeffrey4547

      they only built 212 with the ls 6 454 and 6 with the ls 7 427 and it is not a bbc it is a small block ls block . LS has never built a bbc in history and a LS engine is not a chevy engine it is a GM racing division engine this is y u can only get it as a crate engine till 94 but they did start with a ss with a bbc 454 in it then pulled it out and put the ls in it that is y it has the same code it is kinda like a yenko aftermarket build not true factory build plus u will never see a true ls car on the net before 94 they are worth way to much. last time i heard they have less then 200 left in the world

    I miss my 72 Chevelle 350, Red white stripes, wasn't a SS, but awesome cars. And I had a brown 71 Malibu all original with straight 6 cyl in it. Paid $200 for that car in perfect body & running condition, had both in mid 1980's, and $1,700 for my 72, a nice street car, 14:52 @ 105mph in 1/4. With AC..😄

    Love the car, but it does have the wrong upper radiator hose. Chevrolet used 2 different hoses. The hose that's on the car is for an air condition car. A non ac hose is angle more towards the thermostat housing. To keep the hose from rubbing the ac belt, Chevy ran the hose along the radiator, then turned towards the thermostat. There is 2 different upper radiator hoses numbers, 1 for ac car and 1 for non ac car. LS6 cars never ever had ac.
