- YESSIR!!! When I’m not professionally dealing with 1970 SS Chevelles I’m personally dealing with 1970 SS Chevelles. Some of you might remember this 1970 SS454 LS6 M22 4.10 that was located on a garage lift in a car collection in eastern PA with this custom Day2 paint job. Born black with white stripes fully matching driveline with buildsheet still in the back seat. Sold new at the famous Byrne Bros Chevrolet in White Plains, New York and is still currently the earliest assembled LS6 M22 from the Baltimore, Maryland assembly plant. Documented with unique assembly line mistakes such as small block tach, 69 style alternator bracket, 824 BV fan pulley, 772 fan, and shallow groove power steering pulley. Got it all cleaned up and road worthy. Runs and drives like a new car. Parked since July 1977.
My father aka Big Daddy is smiling from Heaven! His middle name was General Motors. Having his beloved Firestone tires on his Chevelle is making him very happy. Great video. Keep bringing it on!
Will be sharp back in it's original Black/White stripes!👍
I would enjoy it as a driver. They were built to drive not hide in a collection
Hidden away until times like these.
To each his own
@@67stingray1 cars are meant to be driven. In a few more years if you don't watch who you vote for. A car like this will be worth a few hundred if your lucky and it will become a Pepsi can without any options. So drive it! I have a mustang with 14,000 original miles. I now drive it daily with the top down and I enjoy it while I can. I melt the tires pretty regularly

Yep, drive it and enjoy it while you're still here on this earth.
Super cool Chevelle. I live in Connecticut and I was told that a lot of cool Chevrolets were sold at a dealership called Chick Miller Chevrolet in Bristol Connecticut.
I would paint the stripes white and drive it everywhere! Thanks for the update!👍👍🇨🇦🇺🇸
Beautiful car, looks great in the color it is currently in also.
That car with the black and white is my dream chevelle. I can't believe they painted it but I also can't believe they took such good care of it. As always thanks for making this video Patrick.
That’s what we did back then. Hardly anyone left their factory muscle car factory.
Man I love this one. A super cool car to begin with but the little flaws and the goofy paint scheme just take you back in time. It's a very awesome car just exactly how it is!
That car in the back with white stripes is my all time favorite car. Ever since I was small and my mom had Chevelle ss but was blue. I think it was a 402. That is a great car. You are a lucky man.
If only we could have heard that M22 as you drove it around the countryside! Thanks for sharing Patrick.
Beautiful car man. I agree I would rather have single stage more authentic paint than most over restored mile deep clear coat. I'd love to see a walk around video on your L34 SS you've had for a long time. Always look forward to your videos👍👍
Congratulations on the new ride Patrick. What an awesome find. I just love your videos , and myself have learned a ton from you and the knowledge on these cars. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with every one . Good luck with the new car. Sound great to. Enjoy and keep up the great work.
All due respect, one Chevelle lover to another I don't care how rare and authentic it is it's meant to be driven and I think your nuts for wanting to repaint . Your car of course, but there's so many black Chevelles out there. love that paint job it's gorgeous what a unique color combination wouldn't be surprised if it grew on you. And also one perfectionist to another some cars like that brother you just got to throw the OCD out the window and say screw it what a beautiful find man and I hope I get that lucky when I go searching for my dream car 70 chevelle. That's many years and a lot of money away though LOL
Definitely in the Right hands
Bless you sir
I remember when you found this one. What a great find to bad it was painted. I’m a Autobody painter and agree this car should stay as a driver for now, but this car deserves to go back to a nice single stage black paint job with white stripes. Classic! Oh ya and definitely clean up the red overspray
Great video and car as well
One of my friends had a 70 with a 454. He was boxing it up in the brake lines burst. It caught fire and I watched it burn.
Awesome ❤❤❤
aww lookey there. someone stored and preserved this beauty for someone else to enjoy instead of them! ill probably take my 70 out a do a few burnouts and doughnuts this weekend. :-)
Don’t you love folks like that! So thoughtful! I particularly appreciate guys that do that with their women as well-:)
@@Lt_Tragg HA accept they wont just sit in the garage for 40 years! LOL
very nice.
Just an absolutely beautiful car my God
When you paint her back don’t forget to blast AC DC Back In Black 😎
Matthew....i mean Patrick ....great fish fry....i didnt kbow you did your own fish frys too
Great find and a true weekend driver! Meant to be driven hard! 💪🏼
I worked at a Chevy dealer in ninety seventy in Minnesota. I was still in highschool. Worked there for thirty seven years. I drove many LS sevens. Wish I had bought one.😢😮😅😅😅
Awesome! I look forward to seeing it tuxedo black.
Hopefully this is a keeper!
Congratulations on the new ride, Patrick. What a great find. I love your videos. My wife does too, believe it or not. She's not a car person. She's a person person, if you know what I mean. She appreciates you and what you do, your in-depth expertise on the subject, etc. Keep up the good work.
Love this, imperfections and all. Nice find. I do agree with the paint, it would have to go back black with white stripes but .. just gorgeous
Car must’ve been built on a Monday of a Friday. Got a few factory errors going on there.
Definitely single stage . I can’t stand when guys put on 10 Coats of clear . Unless you’re trying to win an award , single stage is fine . That’s how they were born
Patrick, long time subscriber here. As an exhaust system dealer (and nerd), I gotta know if the exhaust is original from the headers back. If so, please please please shoot a video with exhaust sound from the back of the car. The exhaust was usually the first of the consumables to be replaced on cars especially in the rust-belt and North East, and most muscle car owners went the non-stock route at replacement time. I'm not sure how accurately the newer 'reproduction OEM' mufflers replicate the original GM/Ford/Mopar mufflers internally, but if it's not 100%, the original as-delivered factory sound and tone is lost to eternity. Muscle cars with their original exhaust systems are far and few between, so if it's the system it was born with, I gotta hear it!
I'm kinda into the spare tire myself
I absolutely love this car. When purists look at my 70ss, I get alot of hate. I procharged LS swapped mine and it’s a fully caged 8.50 cert that I built to do dragNdrives with. When I bought it over 20 years ago, the original 454 was long gone and already had a slew of aftermarket parts on it. I don’t explain this anymore because I built the car the way I wanted and it gets driven alot and so many people love it as it is. But if my car started off with all the original parts like this one, I’d definitely preserve it and enjoy as is! I guess my point is, even if it’s not stock don’t hate on others for building these cars to their personal taste. Besides how many all correct time capsules do you see out at cruise ins? I don’t see very many and that to me in my opinion is just silly! Do all that work just to let it sit! No thank you! I’ll build mine and drive the wheels off of it on every nice day!
Super cool car!!!
They put the ss upside down probably during reassembly after paint.
I like the oval exhaust pipes.
Such a cool Chevy probably the coolest 😂
Rod Stewart once sang. Some guys have all the luck. Congratulations
This one is very special Patrick! Looks like it has the fairly scarce rear defroster option. I would love to see it again when you get it back to its original black w/white stripes livery.
Holy mackerel!!! I saw the video where it was on the lift.
Did you buy it!!!???
I found a ss Chevy classic and a Chevy 4x4 short bed in a old mechanic shop here in South Texas
Strange that it's been repainted early in its life to a completely different colour scheme, it's what you'd do if you had to rebody it from a wreck to another ls6 optioned 70 Chevelle. I gather you've made sure it's got the original black with white striped paint underneath no doubt.
Single Stage Paint for the win!!!!....these old cars just don't look quite right with base/clear.
Great car PGN. We always wonder what you've got in the stable.
Central California watching
hard to fathom why anyone would change the color FROM black, must have been a bunch of local black cars.
I’m jealous
I had a 1971 Heavy Chevy in high school. Ended up selling it for $35.00.
Was it parked in what appears to be a box trailer? Trailer plywood on walls looks awful new and clean to have been shut in for 45yrs
Great upload that’s beautiful car I wasn’t a big chevelle fan I love fords but due too your videos and way you describe the unique features off the ss chevelle I have really come too enjoy hearing you talk about them .✌🏿👍
My grandfather worked at Bruning Highway GM plant from 1956 to 1983..I'm sure he had his hands on that car at one point in its birth...
That has to be the ugliest color combo on a Chevelle I have ever seen.I did not think I would say that about a Chevelle over any color
Great to see it in this current state. I would fix the flaws but not the paint. I would also like to say, I have never seen so many friggn SS clones online right now. As a kid, I remember most 2 door cars were inline 6 cylinders with 2 speed powerglides, column shifters. I personally enjoy seeing stock basic grocery getters at car shows. It reminds me of Mom & step-dad screaming at all of us kids, Mom chain smoking, no air conditioning, me laying in the back window, and stopping for a fifty cent 16 ounce coke or pepsi, it was usually on a Saturday. Sometimes splurge on a greasy quarter cake or moon pie. 😂
Damn it, I'll never have one. It's my dream to have one till I die than pass down.
I’ve got a set of those valve covers hanging on the wall in my shop. Had them since high school 1976.
All I want is another L78 1968 Chevelle.
😪
Nice car Matthew McConaughey But letting the engine run without romping it just a couple of times would hv been sweet along with some sound at the exhaust. No Golden Globe for you
Alright, alright, alright! I thought the same thing, he sounds just like him!😂
It sounds amazing!!! Also, Patrick buddy you are like the 70 Chevelle wishper.💪
I can't believe it's not rotted out
Too bad they painted it but what a time capsule. Great find, thanks for your efforts!
Nice!!! 👍👍
why no video behind the car running so we can hear the tone
This is a neat Chevelle Patrick, really like to see it restored to the original Tuxedo Black, you’re very lucky to have this beautiful Chevelle! Keep the videos coming!!
Thank you for the Video Patrick, as always what's not to like about your Videos! All the best to you.
So sweet. I’m betting the grill/badge were installed incorrectly after repaint.
I don’t think so because the grill wasn’t painted and left black.
Totally amazing. An original Tuxedo Black/White..
That has to be one of your favs.?
Glad it came back to life, and I'd leave build sheet alone too, you can prove it's their.
I'm a "only original once" guy too.
I guess you have a top notch paint shop to do the full original paint..
I don't remember the car, seen this dusty car, and than a brand new looking one with a crazy color combo..😁
Beautiful car!!! Who ever thought burgundy and red was a good color combo, tho, should be beat with a feather til it hurts. That’s awful! Lol putting it back to black and white will be really nice 😍
Awesome car and awesome video. Thanks for sharing. God Bless.
Dang, how do you keep finding these gems?
Why not leave the stripes alone,there part of the cars history 🤔
are you selling it yet,
That is an epic find and purchase Patrick! What oil brand and weight do you run in those original solid lifter LS-6’s?
high zink racing oil or conventional oil with the zddp additive. big blocks eat flat tappet cams without it. .
Purple
That same engine is even greater bolting twin turbos and intercooler as an option for more power. This engine also great swapping in a 1989 Chevy Caprice and 1985 RWD Chevy Impala. These two RWD large sedans also need a 5 Speed manual transmission and clutch. Finally, swap the 140 km/h max speedometers with a 300 km/h speedometer options.
Why do you say the SS emble was upside down from day one? Did the manufacturer put them on upside down?
Complacent factory workers on their last Friday nightshift workday of the week having the “Who cares anyways” Mentality.
No, a guy in the grocery store parking lot used to do that
I don't get the obsession with the "muscle car" versions of the 60's-70's A-body's and the Mopar and Ford competitors. The non-"muscle car" base models make way more sense.
Sorta looks like code 78 Black Cherry single stage paint . It would great with just white correct stripes over that older paint job . And the idle speed seemed very high , was hoping to hear the factory cam sound out back @ around 850 rpm ;)
sweet car. I believe that the SS emblems are not original to the car. I have a 70 and a 71 Camaro SS396. both cars had black SS emblems. my uncle had a 1970 Chevelle SS396 L78 and it was silver with black stripes, and it also had Black "SS" emblems. not white. they are the exact same part as my Camaros emblems. I know that for years the only reproduction SS emblems were the white. I sent out my Camaro's emblems to be dechromed and restored because i could not find the correct reproduction emblems 20+ years ago. so, it possible that they were changed out when the car was painted. I have been told that some cars had white emblems, but every NOS SS emblem i have seen is Black, even on black cars. Front and Tail emblems are white SS. but the side emblems were black.
Why does everyone run these FIRESTONE WIDE OVALS??? Cant you get GOODYEAR WIDE TREADS in a repo???
You mentioned the selling dealer was located in White Plains, NY was it possibly Byrne Brothers Chevrolet?, My 1972 LT-1 corvette was sold from there. Thank You
Edit *** I heard you mention Byrne Bros in the video, also in the written description under the video, its nice we have something in common. Great video of your car, I really enjoyed it
If I won the lottery I would buy A
70 SS Chevell 454
70 Roadrunner 440
68 Dodge Super Bee
68 Ford Mustang 429
66 Chevell 396
Just a few I ever wanted
Idle was pretty high
That paint job kinda grows on me!Nice ride as well!!
Beautiful ride, but I need to ask one thing, can you say ‘’ALRIGHT ALRIGHT ALRIGHT’’ on your next video 🤙🏼
I had a chance to drive one my brother Rich Norman had one from Reggie Jackson. LS6 454. I'm 140 pounds that car slung me around like a rag doll. But hey I took it home in one piece
Is it just me or does this guy sound like Matthew McConaughey ? Besides that awesome Chevelle!!
Great video thank's
Great car and she’s in good hands!
She's a beautiful girl ! I love her how she is ! But if it was Black with the white stripes. Classic look and it correct. I would pick my own colors but wen it's rite it's rite . Never get the look of a black car with any color .
Thank you for so many videos love each one of the journeys you take us on❤
Now why wouldn’t you bring that camera around back so we could actually hear it? Waited all that time to hear the air filter.
Take it out and burn some rubber!
I call Bullshit. Did you drain the fuel tank? Prime the oil system? Lots of unknown here.
Hows the undercarriage ?
I've never understood the popularity of this body style Chevelle. The 66 and 67 Chevelle are way cooler looking.
My favorite was the 1968. The 68 was a one year only. I suppose some people would say the 68 and 69 are the same but the 68 has more attractive tail lights in my opinion. A 69 would be my next favorite year.
Because you could a 450 HP 454 , and you couldn't in 66-67
@@jerrywhite4764 true but 325-hp in a 67 SS 396 is more than enough power for me. The 70 will beat the 67 in a drag race but so what
Guess it depends on ones taste. I actually like this style of chevelle the best but the 66-67 ones are great looking too.
@@laprancha buddy of mine bought a 70 Chevelle 454,410 posi, 400 turbo, new put headers on it. I could beat it with my 67 Chevelle about a half a fender. I had a 327, turbo 400, 456 gears, we raced my times. He got mad every time.
Must be a muscle car just waiting to be dusted off in barns all over the place. Good lord stop
A shot to the balls would have changed his mind very quickly.
Alright ,alright ,alright.. Are you going to Houston to get Aerosmith tickets?
What, no tag read??
Great car
I noticed it had 14,000 miles on the odometer. really curious as to what a 14,000 mile 70 SS LS6 goes for.
Alot.. My guess on that car 150-170 Just my opinion!
Nothing whatsoever wrong with the color of the car! Black is boring!
Why was this car
Painted? Sometimes I think some of these barn finds are stolen
Very nice car.
