I am so jealous of Hoovie. Not only did he find a beautiful woman in April but he found someone that shares his enthusiasm about cars. They are a great couple!
How many miles does it have? I knew someone who had Green SS 454 that he bought brand new. He fell asleep at the wheel and crashed it into a moving train! He lived but the car didn't
I'm 45 and my first car was '71 Malibu. Swapped out the tired 307 for a lightly warmed over 350 backed with a TH350. Bench seat, 4 wheel drum, power steering and A/C. Ripped the dead air con out when I swapped the engine to save weight. I later planned to Vintage Air it before she decided she wanted to be a BBQ more than she wanted to continue to be my daily driver. Miss it to this day, but they're so out of range monetarily, I doubt I'll ever be able to own one again.
My first car, I was forced to buy, at exactly 16 years old, by my 28 year career Army Dad, was a $900, purple with black stripe 1973 Gremlin 232 6 cylijder auto. I told my Dad after almost daily getting into fights at school, that I was going to wrap it around a telephone pole if he didn't let me sell it. I used the $1000 I got for the Gremlin with a new $39.95 Earl Sheibs special paint job, and I than bought a $1000, black on black 1966 Chevelle Malibu, 327/375hp auto and went from being called not so nice names, to car wise, one of the coolest kids in high school. By the way April could pick up my 63 year old self in a YUGO! As Always, May God Bless you and yours! 😇
My dad had a 69 Chevelle SS 396 and was a stock car driver. Remember sitting in passenger seat when dad would pull next to kids and waste them! Fond memories 😊
Rock Crushers were developed for the higher-powered vehicles. And the whining sounds i hear are identical to the sounds i hear when driving my 66 GTO. I put a Rock Crusher in it back in 1984...
My sister had. A 1970 454ss stage 6, blue with white stripes. She. Ruled the street scene in Seattle during the 80s n 90s.friend offered her almost triple the value n she sold it. Do know she misses that beast..
I talked my mom into buying a new '68 SS396 when I was 16 years old. Caught the fever bad and I have owned a '64, a '66 SS396 and a '69 SS396. Guess you could say I am a fan.
This was awesome, one of the best April's Garage episodes yet. That Chevelle was so clean, the knowledge you two have on these muscle cars is badass. It would be so cool if you could get your friend Dwayne to let you borrow his 911 GT3 for a future Saturday special.
My dad is a Chevelle guy he currently owns and has for years a 69 street car and a 71 convertable show car but has had some others in between like another 69 race car and a 67 show car awesome stuff!
April is such a natural beauty and a car lover! What more is there for a man to desire? So looks stunning and seems genuine a nice person. Tyler take good care of her!
i think the point of their relationship is that she's the one taking care of Tyler. i think things were rather sour for a long time in the old relationship, so her treating him as well as she does is obviously doing amazing things for Tyler. you can just tell he's in a much better mental place.
I learned how to drive a manual in a 69 chevelle with a 454 & a 4 speed. The guy who owned it (a family friend) thought it would be hilarious to throw the keys at me & let me figure it out. It was definitely an experience. The first few times I let the clutch out too early & it would buck so freaking hard, then I just mashed the skinny pedal & started doing a big ol burnout 😂
Had a 1970 LS6 - back in the day. Sold it for $1900... sniff sniff. As a 6' 150 lb skinny kid the car came with a manual and no power steering - I promptly swapped the manual for a Turbo 400 transmission so I could park it!
April says do you know how many 60 year old men I can pick up in this? The truth is April you can pick up a bunch of 60 year old men in a Chevy Chevette LOL
This is funny because it reminds me of my instructor in auto body shop back in 1997. Every single car in his shop was a Chevelle SS…..he had about 10 of them and that’s all that we worked on 😅. No other type of car was in his shop. And the school gave him full rein….and yes he was an enthusiast living his dreams through the departments budget.
My cousin had a 70 Chevelle with the 454. Black on Black but no stripes. He later had thin pinstripes added to the fender and body lines front to back with little flourishes at the tips. For the 1st two years he had it he drove it a few times a week but then someone tried to steal it out of his driveway and he cleared out his garage and the car lived there for the next 45 or so years. The only time it came out was for maintenance or the 4th of July. He fired it up. Came down the driveway and as soon as the front tires hit the pavement he let it rip. Always 10 minutes later he would be back and put the car away in the garage for another year. When he passed away his new wife sold the car before any of the family could even ask about it. She HATED the Chevelle but loved the fact that it was worth a boatload of cash which she got when it sold.
For GM, the 11:1 compression engines, that also had a solid lifter camshaft, like the LS6 454, and certain 427's and 327's GM did allow AC. This LS5 would allow you have AC. You guys are great.
Yes you could get AC on a 454 car factory, my best friend's little sister had a super clean original 454 auto AC cowl induction car when she was 16! What a beautiful car!!!
A lot of the time when you meet a woman and they’re trying to get close to you they pretend to be more like you than they really are a lot of this is just window dressing and acting trust me it’ll all come out once I’ve been in a relationship for five years.
the subtle "that's what she said" at 7:30, love the chemistry between you two talking cars ps make sure April drives as many different manuals as she can
April, We are all hoping that you help, guide, nurture, and support our Hoovie to make good decisions moving forward on this channel...😁(❤) Nice Chevelle, By the way. My oldest brother bought one in 1970. I don't know the proper name for the color, It was a light sage green, with a green vinyl top and white stripe package. And as a 9 year old, I was scared to death of it, but I also thought it was effing' awesome at the same time. That's my book for the day...
I love that April calls it a door panel instead of a door card. You can tell all the Americans who grew up learning about cars by watching Top Gear. It's hood, trunk, fenders and not boot, bonnet and wing. Also... Please don't say you like the spec of a 1970 Chevelle. It's options... You like the way it's optioned.
I grew up during the time of American muscle cars, but dad always had a British car hanging around the garage. To this day it’s still call it a door card, the bonnet, the boot lid and a wing, even on American cars.
Denied. She is too young to know anything different. It's forever a "door card" and the carpeting sits on the "floor boards." Tell me the last new card that had floor boards...
This is my absolute favorite car. In a perfect world mine would be dark green, white stripes and a vynil top. Of course the LS6 and a four speed. :) Very cool video and even cooler car.
In 1970, my uncle came by my parents home with a 454 Chevelle in a metallic blue-grey colour. I was six at time, but I remember it as "the car where the back end kept wanting to pass the front end." I know it was a 454 because there was a raised metal 454 logo on the dash in front of the passenger seat that I ran my finger along repeatedly, In my memory, it was a notch-back, but since they didn't make notch-nack Chevelles in 1970 or put 454s into the earlier cars, I'll put that down to the Mandella Effect. He stayed with us for a bit over a week, just long enough for me to fall in love with that car. Today I have a 1:18 scale die-cast model of a 1970 LS6 in approximately the same colour which my wife bought me as a pre-emptive measure, and I have promised never to have more 1:1 scale cars than I can drive in a week.
I owned a 1970 GM A-body for 31 years. They are simply right, in a whole lot of ways. Easy to drive, easy to fix, easy to modify, and uncomplicated. Solid engineering as well, and durable. At least mine had very high build quality from Flint. A 68 to 72 GM A-body is extremely popular for a reason. Not to mention GM Design was hitting it out of the ballpark with physical appeal.
My old boss at the chevy dealer back in like 1999 went to Barett Jackson and came back with a 1970 Chevelle SS LS5 4 speed manual in that same color combo. Was an awesome car. He had it brought into body shop right away and had it totally redone to perfect.😊
This was always at the top of of my wish list for looks and drivetrain - a Chevrolet musclecar Icon, had a 70-1/2 Camaro 4 speed but I liked the full frame cars much better
In high school in the early ‘70s. The bench seats were not as cool as buckets, but we called the bench seats s-o-b seats because all it took was a hard right and it was slide over baby
I look forward to every upload to Hoovies Garage and have seen every upload I think. Now to fill the gaps, we have this channel. Love y'all so much. Every car guy dreams for a girl like April. She could turn this gay car guy str8 for real! 🤣😍
I took my driving test at the age of 16 in my mother’s 1969 Chevelle Malibu. It had the basic 350 engine, but the carburetor was badly in need of a rebuild. The car almost stalled while I was making a left turn, but I kept it going by keeping my left foot on the brake and hitting the gas with my right. When I let off the brake the car lurched forward, and I made the turn without stalling. But I got marked off for ‘lack of smoothness’ or some such thing. But there was a happy ending. The minimum passing score for the driving test was 70 and my score was a 71. I got my license, and I’ve kept it for the last 51 years.
My first car was a 10-year old beater 69 Chevelle with a 327 and automatic. It had sat in a driveway for a couple years but I got it running. I had to wire in a bypass switch for the starter and a manual choke control and the ignition switch was wore out so it could be started with almost any key. It was a filthy beats but I wish I kept it and cleaned it up. It wasn't really special but it could have been restored nicely.
Tyler do, it get a Chevelle maybe a Yenko …..do…it I just recently bought a 13 Lexus ISF in ultrasonic blue off my close friend and I’m glad I decided to pull the trigger. I love this car.
I knew a guy- back in 71-72 who had bought new a 70 Chevelle 454. all black. He pulled all the 454 emblems & because it was so powerful he would not use 1st gear. Told the guys in their 396 Novas, Chevelles & Cameros that he had blown the doors off of that he had a 396 3 speed under the hood.
Oh man, back in highschool a friends dad owned this in yellow and black stripes. He gave it to my friend and let us take it out, we had taken it to the city one night and it was just a day... Even pulled over and the cop let us go. Something about that experience , always makes me appreciate muscle cars from that era.
Magnificent! Pure happiness. And its Black with white rally stripes, perfection. However, April is an amazing distraction, almost forgot there was a car there. Mmmmm...
April talking about an "iconic body" is funny to me. I'm also 60 years old so she would get my attention in this car. Honestly, difficult to focus on the car in this review. 🤣 I have a 1970 Chevelle LS6 w/an M22 tranny in this same color combination, which I think is the best. Having a pretty girl that's into muscle cars is also a great combination. I heard the 1st gear whine of the rock crusher so I'm pretty sure its an M22 (not an M21). Fun review guys.
Liking April's Garage quite a bit. Her passion for Detroit Muscle is a nice counterpoint to Hoovie's Euro-fascination. Nice combo.
right. sure that's what it is.. stop being a simp
I am so jealous of Hoovie. Not only did he find a beautiful woman in April but he found someone that shares his enthusiasm about cars. They are a great couple!
April is the right partner for you! Knows here stuff too. You two go well together.
Agreed they have great chemistry
Sure, ..... and now into second, ..... which way is that??????
What exactly did she know?
@@steves186 awwwww some is jealous they don’t have a hot car girl. It’s kind of cute.
Like peaches & cream,peanut butter & jelley!!
Wow i drank two cups of coffee and ate a Cinnabun watching this one. I owed one of these new. Man, what a ride.
I bet she is....
Needs a 4 spoke black rim wheel from Camaro to make it correct
I’ve only a 71 Chevelle for nearly 40 years. And I daily drive it.
How many miles does it have?
I knew someone who had Green SS 454 that he bought brand new. He fell asleep at the wheel and crashed it into a moving train! He lived but the car didn't

I had a '71 as well. Exterior-wise I liked the round taillights better though but wish it had the '70 grill.
Similar. My 70 has over 300k miles on it.
Do you keep it looking classic/brand new condition?
Much props to the owner for letting Ms. Rose drive her 1st musclecar! ✌🏾
Hopefully soon to be (and he'd be crazy not to) be Mrs. April Rose Hoover
mr's
@CLCCVIDEO he'd already given her a ring months ago.
“Do you know how many 60 year old men I could pick up in this thing?”
Ms. April, you could have me if you were driving an Altima.😂😂
a geo storm, but you sir are spot on lol
@@stealthsrt4Chevy Sprint …
I'd be worried about the clap if she was in an Altima.
She could be driving a Yugo!

327 never come in a 375 horse power rating in '66 for the Malibu. 275 horse. Optional was the L-79 rated at 350 horsepower.
The Tyler's dad pic got me.Too funny!
Was that a joke or legit? I couldn't tell.
I know!
So April gets two for one?
Nice couple. Just hope he makes a better prenup this time.
My dad had a 69 Chevelle SS 396 and was a stock car driver. Remember sitting in passenger seat when dad would pull next to kids and waste them! Fond memories 😊
my folks have a 69 396 as well, a dark green rocketship! such a cool car
was the color a dark orange
I traded my '70 Nova for 69 SS 396 Chevelle in high school...loved it!
My dad is original owner of a Daytona Yellow 1969 SS 396. We just took her for a nice ride yesterday.
Based on the whine of the gearbox, it definitely sounds like a M22 Rock Crusher. The sound of nearly straight cut gears is glorious
One of the cars I learned to drive on. My sister had a 70,396/4 speed. Yes I believe it was a m22.
Rock Crushers were developed for the higher-powered vehicles. And the whining sounds i hear are identical to the sounds i hear when driving my 66 GTO. I put a Rock Crusher in it back in 1984...

No such thing as a "stage 6" you are referring to the LS-6 454/450 horse power Chevelle.
Between the 70 Chevelle SS and your passion for the Grand National, you have shown better taste in cars than Hoovie!!😊
Having owned a big block Chevelle myself that idling sound never gets old.
I talked my mom into buying a new '68 SS396 when I was 16 years old. Caught the fever bad and I have owned a '64, a '66 SS396 and a '69 SS396. Guess you could say I am a fan.

One of the best cars ever on your channel. Love it
Thanks for the tour, very nice vehicle.
Love April’s garage (such enthusiasm)
Wait? Tyler’s dad on the cover of playgirl? Guessing one of the joke covers but a weird picture to pic for a video 😂.
I was wondering myself...
April is such a natural beauty and a car lover! What more is there for a man to desire? So looks stunning and seems genuine a nice person. Tyler take good care of her!

Have a 70 SS 396. Love it. Love April’s enthusiasm!
Great video!!! Keep up the great work you two & Jake!!!
Weird! it was about 28 seconds into the video until I noticed a Chevelle. WOW
What Chevelle? 😂
Ya gotta love April’s orgasmic squeals when the 454 opened up 😂❤. Whatta woman 😮 Whatta Car !!! 😊
"It has the iconic body" April Rose
The perfect person to say that!
Perfect timing too!

Finally a real classic nice to see please keep this type of car coming
That's the M21, the M22 "rockcrusher" is a howling banshee! I had the LS5 M22 El Camino, a wheel hopping turd that only my dentist liked!
Agreed. Had one and mine howled a bit more than that I think.
@@rsanford446 Yeah, those straight cut gears are anything but subtle jajajaja
OMG, stunningly gorgeous! Oh and the Chevelle looks okay too. Tyler is one lucky, lucky man.

Beautiful car and a beautiful woman. Perfect combo ❤.
Does April come with the purchase of that car as well?
Absolutely one of the best and nicest car that has been on this channel!!

Awesome classic Chevy 💎Great video Tyler
The chop is amazing.
My cousin had a 70 Chevelle with the 454. Black on Black but no stripes. He later had thin pinstripes added to the fender and body lines front to back with little flourishes at the tips.

A/C WAS.. and option on the LS5.. Just NOT.. the LS6.. The GM rule was No A/C on Any engine with Solid Lifters. :)
AND ( the M22 was still available on a 1970 Chevelle )..
The one exception was the 1972 LT-1 Corvette... solid lifters and A/C was an option.
Man I’d love to own something that beautiful. Sweet ride. And miss April looking stunning as normal!
As much as I like this Chevelle Miss April is the star of the show!
1970...those were the days. Great time to be in high school.
Except for the draft
Class of 75 in the house!
I volunteered, four yrs USMC Ooohrah!!
Yes you could get AC on a 454 car factory, my best friend's little sister had a super clean original 454 auto AC cowl induction car when she was 16! What a beautiful car!!!
On the LS5 454, like this one has - AC was an option. The LS6, solid lifter engine, did not have AC as an option.
Shes just as quirky as him.. Good match🎉

“Aprils Garage” is terrifying!!!
You are getting better with the manual, steady on Taylor
the subtle "that's what she said" at 7:30, love the chemistry between you two talking cars

I mix and match. Hood, trunk, fenders, but door cards were what I was taught along with specs and options being 50/50.
Denied.
She is too young to know anything different.
It's forever a "door card" and the carpeting sits on the "floor boards."
Tell me the last new card that had floor boards...
My first car was an SS Chevelle, your example is beautiful, it lacks the bucket seat/console option. Very nice, I regret ever selling it too!
Great grandma had a 72 Buick skylark. Man loved that car! That dash reminded me of her car!
This is my absolute favorite car. In a perfect world mine would be dark green, white stripes and a vynil top. Of course the LS6 and a four speed. :) Very cool video and even cooler car.
Beg to disagree 1969 was the sexiest Chevelle ever!
67-69 are tied for me there definitely the best years for chevelle
Came in here to say this. 68 or 69 are the nicest looking muscle cars ever built in my opinion.
I will be 54 and YES April can pick me up in this beauty! 😂
Thanks for sharing!

I look forward to every upload to Hoovies Garage and have seen every upload I think. Now to fill the gaps, we have this channel. Love y'all so much. Every car guy dreams for a girl like April. She could turn this gay car guy str8 for real! 🤣😍
I took my driving test at the age of 16 in my mother’s 1969 Chevelle Malibu. It had the basic 350 engine, but the carburetor was badly in need of a rebuild. The car almost stalled while I was making a left turn, but I kept it going by keeping my left foot on the brake and hitting the gas with my right. When I let off the brake the car lurched forward, and I made the turn without stalling. But I got marked off for ‘lack of smoothness’ or some such thing. But there was a happy ending. The minimum passing score for the driving test was 70 and my score was a 71. I got my license, and I’ve kept it for the last 51 years.
My first car was a 10-year old beater 69 Chevelle with a 327 and automatic. It had sat in a driveway for a couple years but I got it running. I had to wire in a bypass switch for the starter and a manual choke control and the ignition switch was wore out so it could be started with almost any key. It was a filthy beats but I wish I kept it and cleaned it up. It wasn't really special but it could have been restored nicely.
Nice "that's what she said" reference :)
Tyler do, it get a Chevelle maybe a Yenko …..do…it I just recently bought a 13 Lexus ISF in ultrasonic blue off my close friend and I’m glad I decided to pull the trigger. I love this car.
I knew a guy- back in 71-72 who had bought new a 70 Chevelle 454. all black. He pulled all the 454 emblems & because it was so powerful he would not use 1st gear. Told the guys in their 396 Novas, Chevelles & Cameros that he had blown the doors off of that he had a 396 3 speed under the hood.
Oh man, back in highschool a friends dad owned this in yellow and black stripes. He gave it to my friend and let us take it out, we had taken it to the city one night and it was just a day... Even pulled over and the cop let us go. Something about that experience , always makes me appreciate muscle cars from that era.
I had one! Friends would drill 2 holes where the SS badge should be so people at the traffic light would think it was an SS!
I seem to grow extra eyes when April is smoothing about…..saints above - Mercy April…!
Very nice car suits April so well
Damn that car sounds sooo good
Magnificent! Pure happiness. And its Black with white rally stripes, perfection. However, April is an amazing distraction, almost forgot there was a car there. Mmmmm...
Definitely an iconic body..... I guess April and the Chevelle are beautiful too. 😊
April talking about an "iconic body" is funny to me. I'm also 60 years old so she would get my attention in this car. Honestly, difficult to focus on the car in this review. 🤣 I have a 1970 Chevelle LS6 w/an M22 tranny in this same color combination, which I think is the best. Having a pretty girl that's into muscle cars is also a great combination. I heard the 1st gear whine of the rock crusher so I'm pretty sure its an M22 (not an M21). Fun review guys.
